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.

     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.

     CXL memory.

   - "mm: hwpoison: two more poison recovery" from Kefeng Wang. Teaches
     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"

* tag 'mm-stable-2024-09-20-02-31' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm: (416 commits)

<title>mm: replace xa_get_order with xas_get_order where appropriate</title>

<content type='text'>
The tracing of invalidation and truncation operations on large files
showed that xa_get_order() is among the top functions where kernel spends
a lot of CPUs.  xa_get_order() needs to traverse the tree to reach the
right node for a given index and then extract the order of the entry. 
However it seems like at many places it is being called within an already
happening tree traversal where there is no need to do another traversal. 
Just use xas_get_order() at those places.

Take the end of a file write into consideration when deciding whether or
not to use huge pages for tmpfs files when the tmpfs filesystem is mounted
with huge=within_size

This allows large writes that append to the end of a file to automatically
use large pages.

Doing 4MB sequential writes without fallocate to a 16GB tmpfs file with
fio.  The numbers without THP or with huge=always stay the same, but the
performance with huge=within_size now matches that of huge=always.

Although shmem_get_folio_gfp() is correctly putting inodes on the
shrinklist according to the folio size, shmem_unused_huge_shrink() was
still dealing with that shrinklist in terms of HPAGE_PMD_SIZE.

Generalize that; and to handle the mixture of sizes more sensibly,
shmem_alloc_and_add_folio() give it a number of pages to be freed
(approximate: no need to minimize that with an exact calculation) instead
of a number of inodes to split.

There has been a long-standing and very minor off-by-one, where
shmem_get_folio_gfp() decides if a large folio extends beyond i_size far
enough to leave a page or more for freeing later under pressure.

This is not something needed for stable: but it will be proportionately
more significant as support for smaller large folios is added, and is best
fixed before duplicating the check in other places.

Patch series "Shmem mTHP controls and stats improvements", v3.

This is a small series to tidy up the way the shmem controls and stats are
exposed.  These patches were previously part of the series at [2], but I
decided to split them out since they can go in independently.


This patch (of 2):

Let's move count_mthp_stat() so that it's always defined, even when THP is
disabled.  Previously uses of the function in files such as shmem.c, which
are compiled even when THP is disabled, required ugly THP ifdeferry.  With
this cleanup, we can remove those ifdefs and the function resolves to a
nop when THP is disabled.

I shortly plan to call count_mthp_stat() from more THP-invariant source
files.

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.
