Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:

 - The series "Enable strict percpu address space checks" from Uros
   Bizjak uses x86 named address space qualifiers to provide
   compile-time checking of percpu area accesses.

   This has caused a small amount of fallout - two or three issues were
   reported. In all cases the calling code was found to be incorrect.

 - The series "Some cleanup for memcg" from Chen Ridong implements some
   relatively monir cleanups for the memcontrol code.

 - The series "mm: fixes for device-exclusive entries (hmm)" from David
   Hildenbrand fixes a boatload of issues which David found then using
   device-exclusive PTE entries when THP is enabled. More work is
   needed, but this makes thins better - our own HMM selftests now
   succeed.

 - The series "mm: zswap: remove z3fold and zbud" from Yosry Ahmed
   remove the z3fold and zbud implementations. They have been deprecated
   for half a year and nobody has complained.

 - The series "mm: further simplify VMA merge operation" from Lorenzo
   Stoakes implements numerous simplifications in this area. No runtime
   effects are anticipated.

 - The series "mm/madvise: remove redundant mmap_lock operations from
   process_madvise()" from SeongJae Park rationalizes the locking in the
   madvise() implementation. Performance gains of 20-25% were observed
   in one MADV_DONTNEED microbenchmark.

 - The series "Tiny cleanup and improvements about SWAP code" from
   Baoquan He contains a number of touchups to issues which Baoquan
   noticed when working on the swap code.

 - The series "mm: kmemleak: Usability improvements" from Catalin
   Marinas implements a couple of improvements to the kmemleak
   user-visible output.

 - The series "mm/damon/paddr: fix large folios access and schemes
   handling" from Usama Arif provides a couple of fixes for DAMON's
   handling of large folios.

 - The series "mm/damon/core: fix wrong and/or useless damos_walk()
   behaviors" from SeongJae Park fixes a few issues with the accuracy of
   kdamond's walking of DAMON regions.

 - The series "expose mapping wrprotect, fix fb_defio use" from Lorenzo
   Stoakes changes the interaction between framebuffer deferred-io and
   core MM. No functional changes are anticipated - this is preparatory
   work for the future removal of page structure fields.

 - The series "mm/damon: add support for hugepage_size DAMOS filter"
   from Usama Arif adds a DAMOS filter which permits the filtering by
   huge page sizes.

 - The series "mm: permit guard regions for file-backed/shmem mappings"
   from Lorenzo Stoakes extends the guard region feature from its
   present "anon mappings only" state. The feature now covers shmem and
   file-backed mappings.

 - The series "mm: batched unmap lazyfree large folios during
   reclamation" from Barry Song cleans up and speeds up the unmapping
   for pte-mapped large folios.

 - The series "reimplement per-vma lock as a refcount" from Suren
   Baghdasaryan puts the vm_lock back into the vma. Our reasons for
   pulling it out were largely bogus and that change made the code more
   messy. This patchset provides small (0-10%) improvements on one
   microbenchmark.

 - The series "Docs/mm/damon: misc DAMOS filters documentation fixes and
   improves" from SeongJae Park does some maintenance work on the DAMON
   docs.

 - The series "hugetlb/CMA improvements for large systems" from Frank
   van der Linden addresses a pile of issues which have been observed
   when using CMA on large machines.

 - The series "mm/damon: introduce DAMOS filter type for unmapped pages"
   from SeongJae Park enables users of DMAON/DAMOS to filter my the
   page's mapped/unmapped status.

 - The series "zsmalloc/zram: there be preemption" from Sergey
   Senozhatsky teaches zram to run its compression and decompression
   operations preemptibly.

 - The series "selftests/mm: Some cleanups from trying to run them" from
   Brendan Jackman fixes a pile of unrelated issues which Brendan
   encountered while runnimg our selftests.

 - The series "fs/proc/task_mmu: add guard region bit to pagemap" from
   Lorenzo Stoakes permits userspace to use /proc/pid/pagemap to
   determine whether a particular page is a guard page.

 - The series "mm, swap: remove swap slot cache" from Kairui Song
   removes the swap slot cache from the allocation path - it simply
   wasn't being effective.

 - The series "mm: cleanups for device-exclusive entries (hmm)" from
   David Hildenbrand implements a number of unrelated cleanups in this
   code.

 - The series "mm: Rework generic PTDUMP configs" from Anshuman Khandual
   implements a number of preparatoty cleanups to the GENERIC_PTDUMP
   Kconfig logic.

 - The series "mm/damon: auto-tune aggregation interval" from SeongJae
   Park implements a feedback-driven automatic tuning feature for
   DAMON's aggregation interval tuning.

 - The series "Fix lazy mmu mode" from Ryan Roberts fixes some issues in
   powerpc, sparc and x86 lazy MMU implementations. Ryan did this in
   preparation for implementing lazy mmu mode for arm64 to optimize
   vmalloc.

 - The series "mm/page_alloc: Some clarifications for migratetype
   fallback" from Brendan Jackman reworks some commentary to make the
   code easier to follow.

 - The series "page_counter cleanup and size reduction" from Shakeel
   Butt cleans up the page_counter code and fixes a size increase which
   we accidentally added late last year.

 - The series "Add a command line option that enables control of how
   many threads should be used to allocate huge pages" from Thomas
   Prescher does that. It allows the careful operator to significantly
   reduce boot time by tuning the parallalization of huge page
   initialization.

 - The series "Fix calculations in trace_balance_dirty_pages() for cgwb"
   from Tang Yizhou fixes the tracing output from the dirty page
   balancing code.

 - The series "mm/damon: make allow filters after reject filters useful
   and intuitive" from SeongJae Park improves the handling of allow and
   reject filters. Behaviour is made more consistent and the documention
   is updated accordingly.

 - The series "Switch zswap to object read/write APIs" from Yosry Ahmed
   updates zswap to the new object read/write APIs and thus permits the
   removal of some legacy code from zpool and zsmalloc.

 - The series "Some trivial cleanups for shmem" from Baolin Wang does as
   it claims.

 - The series "fs/dax: Fix ZONE_DEVICE page reference counts" from
   Alistair Popple regularizes the weird ZONE_DEVICE page refcount
   handling in DAX, permittig the removal of a number of special-case
   checks.

 - The series "refactor mremap and fix bug" from Lorenzo Stoakes is a
   preparatoty refactoring and cleanup of the mremap() code.

 - The series "mm: MM owner tracking for large folios (!hugetlb) +
   CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT" from David Hildenbrand reworks the manner in
   which we determine whether a large folio is known to be mapped
   exclusively into a single MM.

 - The series "mm/damon: add sysfs dirs for managing DAMOS filters based
   on handling layers" from SeongJae Park adds a couple of new sysfs
   directories to ease the management of DAMON/DAMOS filters.

 - The series "arch, mm: reduce code duplication in mem_init()" from
   Mike Rapoport consolidates many per-arch implementations of
   mem_init() into code generic code, where that is practical.

 - The series "mm/damon/sysfs: commit parameters online via
   damon_call()" from SeongJae Park continues the cleaning up of sysfs
   access to DAMON internal data.

 - The series "mm: page_ext: Introduce new iteration API" from Luiz
   Capitulino reworks the page_ext initialization to fix a boot-time
   crash which was observed with an unusual combination of compile and
   cmdline options.

 - The series "Buddy allocator like (or non-uniform) folio split" from
   Zi Yan reworks the code to split a folio into smaller folios. The
   main benefit is lessened memory consumption: fewer post-split folios
   are generated.

 - The series "Minimize xa_node allocation during xarry split" from Zi
   Yan reduces the number of xarray xa_nodes which are generated during
   an xarray split.

 - The series "drivers/base/memory: Two cleanups" from Gavin Shan

   has observed in the memory-failure implementation.

 - The series "mm: reliable huge page allocator" from Johannes Weiner
   makes huge page allocations cheaper and more reliable by reducing
   fragmentation.

In the commit dcc25ae76eb7 ("writeback: move global_dirty_limit into
wb_domain") of the cgroup writeback backpressure propagation patchset,
Tejun made some adaptations to trace_balance_dirty_pages() for cgroup
writeback.  However, this adaptation was incomplete and Tejun missed
further adaptation in the subsequent patches.

In the cgroup writeback scenario, if sdtc in balance_dirty_pages() is
assigned to mdtc, then upon entering trace_balance_dirty_pages(),
__entry-&gt;limit should be assigned based on the dirty_limit of the
corresponding memcg's wb_domain, rather than global_wb_domain.

To address this issue and simplify the implementation, introduce a 'limit'
field in struct dirty_throttle_control to store the hard_limit value
computed in wb_position_ratio() by calling hard_dirty_limit().  This field
will then be used in trace_balance_dirty_pages() to assign the value to
__entry-&gt;limit.

Patch series "Fix calculations in trace_balance_dirty_pages() for cgwb", v2.

In my experiment, I found that the output of trace_balance_dirty_pages()
in the cgroup writeback scenario was strange because
trace_balance_dirty_pages() always uses global_wb_domain.dirty_limit for
related calculations instead of the dirty_limit of the corresponding
memcg's wb_domain.

The basic idea of the fix is to store the hard dirty limit value computed
in wb_position_ratio() into struct dirty_throttle_control and use it for
calculations in trace_balance_dirty_pages().


This patch (of 3):

Currently, trace_balance_dirty_pages() already has 12 parameters.  In the
patch #3, I initially attempted to introduce an additional parameter. 
However, in include/linux/trace_events.h, bpf_trace_run12() only supports
up to 12 parameters and bpf_trace_run13() does not exist.

To reduce the number of parameters in trace_balance_dirty_pages(), we can
make it accept a pointer to struct dirty_throttle_control as a parameter. 
To achieve this, we need to move the definition of struct
dirty_throttle_control from mm/page-writeback.c to
include/linux/writeback.h.

Most of the callers of wbc_account_cgroup_owner() are converting a folio
to page before calling the function. wbc_account_cgroup_owner() is
converting the page back to a folio to call mem_cgroup_css_from_folio().

Convert wbc_account_cgroup_owner() to take a folio instead of a page,
and convert all callers to pass a folio directly except f2fs.

Convert the page to folio for all the callers from f2fs as they were the
only callers calling wbc_account_cgroup_owner() with a page. As f2fs is
already in the process of converting to folios, these call sites might
also soon be calling wbc_account_cgroup_owner() with a folio directly in
the future.

No functional changes. Only compile tested.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
 "Along with the usual shower of singleton patches, notable patch series
  in this pull request are:

   - "Align kvrealloc() with krealloc()" from Danilo Krummrich. Adds
     consistency to the APIs and behaviour of these two core allocation
     functions. This also simplifies/enables Rustification.

   - "Some cleanups for shmem" from Baolin Wang. No functional changes -
     mode code reuse, better function naming, logic simplifications.

   - "mm: some small page fault cleanups" from Josef Bacik. No
     functional changes - code cleanups only.

   - "Various memory tiering fixes" from Zi Yan. A small fix and a
     little cleanup.

   - "mm/swap: remove boilerplate" from Yu Zhao. Code cleanups and
     simplifications and .text shrinkage.

   - "Kernel stack usage histogram" from Pasha Tatashin and Shakeel
     Butt. This is a feature, it adds new feilds to /proc/vmstat such as

       $ grep kstack /proc/vmstat
       kstack_1k 3
       kstack_2k 188
       kstack_4k 11391
       kstack_8k 243
       kstack_16k 0

     which tells us that 11391 processes used 4k of stack while none at
     all used 16k. Useful for some system tuning things, but
     partivularly useful for "the dynamic kernel stack project".

   - "kmemleak: support for percpu memory leak detect" from Pavel
     Tikhomirov. Teaches kmemleak to detect leaksage of percpu memory.

   - "mm: memcg: page counters optimizations" from Roman Gushchin. "3
     independent small optimizations of page counters".

   - "mm: split PTE/PMD PT table Kconfig cleanups+clarifications" from
     David Hildenbrand. Improves PTE/PMD splitlock detection, makes
     powerpc/8xx work correctly by design rather than by accident.

   - "mm: remove arch_make_page_accessible()" from David Hildenbrand.
     Some folio conversions which make arch_make_page_accessible()
     unneeded.

   - "mm, memcg: cg2 memory{.swap,}.peak write handlers" fro David
     Finkel. Cleans up and fixes our handling of the resetting of the
     cgroup/process peak-memory-use detector.

   - "Make core VMA operations internal and testable" from Lorenzo
     Stoakes. Rationalizaion and encapsulation of the VMA manipulation
     APIs. With a view to better enable testing of the VMA functions,
     even from a userspace-only harness.

   - "mm: zswap: fixes for global shrinker" from Takero Funaki. Fix
     issues in the zswap global shrinker, resulting in improved
     performance.

   - "mm: print the promo watermark in zoneinfo" from Kaiyang Zhao. Fill
     in some missing info in /proc/zoneinfo.

   - "mm: replace follow_page() by folio_walk" from David Hildenbrand.
     Code cleanups and rationalizations (conversion to folio_walk())
     resulting in the removal of follow_page().

   - "improving dynamic zswap shrinker protection scheme" from Nhat
     Pham. Some tuning to improve zswap's dynamic shrinker. Significant
     reductions in swapin and improvements in performance are shown.

   - "mm: Fix several issues with unaccepted memory" from Kirill
     Shutemov. Improvements to the new unaccepted memory feature,

   - "mm/mprotect: Fix dax puds" from Peter Xu. Implements mprotect on
     DAX PUDs. This was missing, although nobody seems to have notied
     yet.

   - "Introduce a store type enum for the Maple tree" from Sidhartha
     Kumar. Cleanups and modest performance improvements for the maple
     tree library code.

   - "memcg: further decouple v1 code from v2" from Shakeel Butt. Move
     more cgroup v1 remnants away from the v2 memcg code.

   - "memcg: initiate deprecation of v1 features" from Shakeel Butt.
     Adds various warnings telling users that memcg v1 features are
     deprecated.

   - "mm: swap: mTHP swap allocator base on swap cluster order" from
     Chris Li. Greatly improves the success rate of the mTHP swap
     allocation.

   - "mm: introduce numa_memblks" from Mike Rapoport. Moves various
     disparate per-arch implementations of numa_memblk code into generic
     code.

   - "mm: batch free swaps for zap_pte_range()" from Barry Song. Greatly
     improves the performance of munmap() of swap-filled ptes.

   - "support large folio swap-out and swap-in for shmem" from Baolin
     Wang. With this series we no longer split shmem large folios into
     simgle-page folios when swapping out shmem.

   - "mm/hugetlb: alloc/free gigantic folios" from Yu Zhao. Nice
     performance improvements and code reductions for gigantic folios.

   - "support shmem mTHP collapse" from Baolin Wang. Adds support for
     khugepaged's collapsing of shmem mTHP folios.

   - "mm: Optimize mseal checks" from Pedro Falcato. Fixes an mprotect()
     performance regression due to the addition of mseal().

   - "Increase the number of bits available in page_type" from Matthew
     Wilcox. Increases the number of bits available in page_type!

   - "Simplify the page flags a little" from Matthew Wilcox. Many legacy
     page flags are now folio flags, so the page-based flags and their
     accessors/mutators can be removed.

   - "mm: store zero pages to be swapped out in a bitmap" from Usama
     Arif. An optimization which permits us to avoid writing/reading
     zero-filled zswap pages to backing store.

   - "Avoid MAP_FIXED gap exposure" from Liam Howlett. Fixes a race
     window which occurs when a MAP_FIXED operqtion is occurring during
     an unrelated vma tree walk.

   - "mm: remove vma_merge()" from Lorenzo Stoakes. Major rotorooting of
     the vma_merge() functionality, making ot cleaner, more testable and
     better tested.

   - "misc fixups for DAMON {self,kunit} tests" from SeongJae Park.
     Minor fixups of DAMON selftests and kunit tests.

   - "mm: memory_hotplug: improve do_migrate_range()" from Kefeng Wang.
     Code cleanups and folio conversions.

   - "Shmem mTHP controls and stats improvements" from Ryan Roberts.
     Cleanups for shmem controls and stats.

   - "mm: count the number of anonymous THPs per size" from Barry Song.
     Expose additional anon THP stats to userspace for improved tuning.

   - "mm: finish isolate/putback_lru_page()" from Kefeng Wang: more
     folio conversions and removal of now-unused page-based APIs.

   - "replace per-quota region priorities histogram buffer with
     per-context one" from SeongJae Park. DAMON histogram
     rationalization.

   - "Docs/damon: update GitHub repo URLs and maintainer-profile" from
     SeongJae Park. DAMON documentation updates.

   - "mm/vdpa: correct misuse of non-direct-reclaim __GFP_NOFAIL and
     improve related doc and warn" from Jason Wang: fixes usage of page
     allocator __GFP_NOFAIL and GFP_ATOMIC flags.

   - "mm: split underused THPs" from Yu Zhao. Improve THP=always policy.
     This was overprovisioning THPs in sparsely accessed memory areas.

   - "zram: introduce custom comp backends API" frm Sergey Senozhatsky.
     Add support for zram run-time compression algorithm tuning.

   - "mm: Care about shadow stack guard gap when getting an unmapped
     area" from Mark Brown. Fix up the various arch_get_unmapped_area()
     implementations to better respect guard areas.

     a couple more code paths to correctly recover from the encountering
     of poisoned memry.

   - "mm: enable large folios swap-in support" from Barry Song. Support
     the swapin of mTHP memory into appropriately-sized folios, rather
     than into single-page folios"

Shmem will support large folio allocation [1] [2] to get a better
performance, however, the memory reclaim still splits the precious large
folios when trying to swap out shmem, which may lead to the memory
fragmentation issue and can not take advantage of the large folio for
shmeme.

Moreover, the swap code already supports for swapping out large folio
without split, hence this patch set supports the large folio swap out for
shmem.

Note the i915_gem_shmem driver still need to be split when swapping, thus
add a new flag 'split_large_folio' for writeback_control to indicate
spliting the large folio.
