Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:

 - "Add folio_mk_pte()" from Matthew Wilcox simplifies the act of
   creating a pte which addresses the first page in a folio and reduces
   the amount of plumbing which architecture must implement to provide
   this.

 - "Misc folio patches for 6.16" from Matthew Wilcox is a shower of
   largely unrelated folio infrastructure changes which clean things up
   and better prepare us for future work.

 - "memory,x86,acpi: hotplug memory alignment advisement" from Gregory
   Price adds early-init code to prevent x86 from leaving physical
   memory unused when physical address regions are not aligned to memory
   block size.

 - "mm/compaction: allow more aggressive proactive compaction" from
   Michal Clapinski provides some tuning of the (sadly, hard-coded (more
   sadly, not auto-tuned)) thresholds for our invokation of proactive
   compaction. In a simple test case, the reduction of a guest VM's
   memory consumption was dramatic.

 - "Minor cleanups and improvements to swap freeing code" from Kemeng
   Shi provides some code cleaups and a small efficiency improvement to
   this part of our swap handling code.

 - "ptrace: introduce PTRACE_SET_SYSCALL_INFO API" from Dmitry Levin
   adds the ability for a ptracer to modify syscalls arguments. At this
   time we can alter only "system call information that are used by
   strace system call tampering, namely, syscall number, syscall
   arguments, and syscall return value.

   This series should have been incorporated into mm.git's "non-MM"
   branch, but I goofed.

 - "fs/proc: extend the PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl to report guard regions" from
   Andrei Vagin extends the info returned by the PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl
   against /proc/pid/pagemap. This permits CRIU to more efficiently get
   at the info about guard regions.

 - "Fix parameter passed to page_mapcount_is_type()" from Gavin Shan
   implements that fix. No runtime effect is expected because
   validate_page_before_insert() happens to fix up this error.

 - "kernel/events/uprobes: uprobe_write_opcode() rewrite" from David
   Hildenbrand basically brings uprobe text poking into the current
   decade. Remove a bunch of hand-rolled implementation in favor of
   using more current facilities.

 - "mm/ptdump: Drop assumption that pxd_val() is u64" from Anshuman
   Khandual provides enhancements and generalizations to the pte dumping
   code. This might be needed when 128-bit Page Table Descriptors are
   enabled for ARM.

 - "Always call constructor for kernel page tables" from Kevin Brodsky
   ensures that the ctor/dtor is always called for kernel pgtables, as
   it already is for user pgtables.

   This permits the addition of more functionality such as "insert hooks
   to protect page tables". This change does result in various
   architectures performing unnecesary work, but this is fixed up where
   it is anticipated to occur.

 - "Rust support for mm_struct, vm_area_struct, and mmap" from Alice
   Ryhl adds plumbing to permit Rust access to core MM structures.

 - "fix incorrectly disallowed anonymous VMA merges" from Lorenzo
   Stoakes takes advantage of some VMA merging opportunities which we've
   been missing for 15 years.

 - "mm/madvise: batch tlb flushes for MADV_DONTNEED and MADV_FREE" from
   SeongJae Park optimizes process_madvise()'s TLB flushing.

   Instead of flushing each address range in the provided iovec, we
   batch the flushing across all the iovec entries. The syscall's cost
   was approximately halved with a microbenchmark which was designed to
   load this particular operation.

 - "Track node vacancy to reduce worst case allocation counts" from
   Sidhartha Kumar makes the maple tree smarter about its node
   preallocation.

   stress-ng mmap performance increased by single-digit percentages and
   the amount of unnecessarily preallocated memory was dramaticelly
   reduced.

 - "mm/gup: Minor fix, cleanup and improvements" from Baoquan He removes
   a few unnecessary things which Baoquan noted when reading the code.

 - ""Enhance sysfs handling for memory hotplug in weighted interleave"
   from Rakie Kim "enhances the weighted interleave policy in the memory
   management subsystem by improving sysfs handling, fixing memory
   leaks, and introducing dynamic sysfs updates for memory hotplug
   support". Fixes things on error paths which we are unlikely to hit.

 - "mm/damon: auto-tune DAMOS for NUMA setups including tiered memory"
   from SeongJae Park introduces new DAMOS quota goal metrics which
   eliminate the manual tuning which is required when utilizing DAMON
   for memory tiering.

 - "mm/vmalloc.c: code cleanup and improvements" from Baoquan He
   provides cleanups and small efficiency improvements which Baoquan
   found via code inspection.

 - "vmscan: enforce mems_effective during demotion" from Gregory Price
   changes reclaim to respect cpuset.mems_effective during demotion when
   possible. because presently, reclaim explicitly ignores
   cpuset.mems_effective when demoting, which may cause the cpuset
   settings to violated.

   This is useful for isolating workloads on a multi-tenant system from
   certain classes of memory more consistently.

 - "Clean up split_huge_pmd_locked() and remove unnecessary folio
   pointers" from Gavin Guo provides minor cleanups and efficiency gains
   in in the huge page splitting and migrating code.

 - "Use kmem_cache for memcg alloc" from Huan Yang creates a slab cache
   for `struct mem_cgroup', yielding improved memory utilization.

 - "add max arg to swappiness in memory.reclaim and lru_gen" from
   Zhongkun He adds a new "max" argument to the "swappiness=" argument
   for memory.reclaim MGLRU's lru_gen.

   This directs proactive reclaim to reclaim from only anon folios
   rather than file-backed folios.

 - "kexec: introduce Kexec HandOver (KHO)" from Mike Rapoport is the
   first step on the path to permitting the kernel to maintain existing
   VMs while replacing the host kernel via file-based kexec. At this
   time only memblock's reserve_mem is preserved.

 - "mm: Introduce for_each_valid_pfn()" from David Woodhouse provides
   and uses a smarter way of looping over a pfn range. By skipping
   ranges of invalid pfns.

 - "sched/numa: Skip VMA scanning on memory pinned to one NUMA node via
   cpuset.mems" from Libo Chen removes a lot of pointless VMA scanning
   when a task is pinned a single NUMA mode.

   Dramatic performance benefits were seen in some real world cases.

 - "JFS: Implement migrate_folio for jfs_metapage_aops" from Shivank
   Garg addresses a warning which occurs during memory compaction when
   using JFS.

 - "move all VMA allocation, freeing and duplication logic to mm" from
   Lorenzo Stoakes moves some VMA code from kernel/fork.c into the more
   appropriate mm/vma.c.

 - "mm, swap: clean up swap cache mapping helper" from Kairui Song
   provides code consolidation and cleanups related to the folio_index()
   function.

 - "mm/gup: Cleanup memfd_pin_folios()" from Vishal Moola does that.

 - "memcg: Fix test_memcg_min/low test failures" from Waiman Long
   addresses some bogus failures which are being reported by the
   test_memcontrol selftest.

 - "eliminate mmap() retry merge, add .mmap_prepare hook" from Lorenzo
   Stoakes commences the deprecation of file_operations.mmap() in favor
   of the new file_operations.mmap_prepare().

   The latter is more restrictive and prevents drivers from messing with
   things in ways which, amongst other problems, may defeat VMA merging.

 - "memcg: decouple memcg and objcg stocks"" from Shakeel Butt decouples
   the per-cpu memcg charge cache from the objcg's one.

   This is a step along the way to making memcg and objcg charging
   NMI-safe, which is a BPF requirement.

 - "mm/damon: minor fixups and improvements for code, tests, and
   documents" from SeongJae Park is yet another batch of miscellaneous
   DAMON changes. Fix and improve minor problems in code, tests and
   documents.

 - "memcg: make memcg stats irq safe" from Shakeel Butt converts memcg
   stats to be irq safe. Another step along the way to making memcg
   charging and stats updates NMI-safe, a BPF requirement.

 - "Let unmap_hugepage_range() and several related functions take folio
   instead of page" from Fan Ni provides folio conversions in the
   hugetlb code.

Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon:
 "The headline feature is the re-enablement of support for Arm's
  Scalable Matrix Extension (SME) thanks to a bumper crop of fixes
  from Mark Rutland.

  If matrices aren't your thing, then Ryan's page-table optimisation
  work is much more interesting.

  Summary:

  ACPI, EFI and PSCI:

   - Decouple Arm's "Software Delegated Exception Interface" (SDEI)
     support from the ACPI GHES code so that it can be used by platforms
     booted with device-tree

   - Remove unnecessary per-CPU tracking of the FPSIMD state across EFI
     runtime calls

   - Fix a node refcount imbalance in the PSCI device-tree code

  CPU Features:

   - Ensure register sanitisation is applied to fields in ID_AA64MMFR4

   - Expose AIDR_EL1 to userspace via sysfs, primarily so that KVM
     guests can reliably query the underlying CPU types from the VMM

   - Re-enabling of SME support (CONFIG_ARM64_SME) as a result of fixes
     to our context-switching, signal handling and ptrace code

  Entry code:

   - Hook up TIF_NEED_RESCHED_LAZY so that CONFIG_PREEMPT_LAZY can be
     selected

  Memory management:

   - Prevent BSS exports from being used by the early PI code

   - Propagate level and stride information to the low-level TLB
     invalidation routines when operating on hugetlb entries

   - Use the page-table contiguous hint for vmap() mappings with
     VM_ALLOW_HUGE_VMAP where possible

   - Optimise vmalloc()/vmap() page-table updates to use "lazy MMU mode"
     and hook this up on arm64 so that the trailing DSB (used to publish
     the updates to the hardware walker) can be deferred until the end
     of the mapping operation

   - Extend mmap() randomisation for 52-bit virtual addresses (on par
     with 48-bit addressing) and remove limited support for
     randomisation of the linear map

  Perf and PMUs:

   - Add support for probing the CMN-S3 driver using ACPI

   - Minor driver fixes to the CMN, Arm-NI and amlogic PMU drivers

  Selftests:

   - Fix FPSIMD and SME tests to align with the freshly re-enabled SME
     support

   - Fix default setting of the OUTPUT variable so that tests are
     installed in the right location

  vDSO:

   - Replace raw counter access from inline assembly code with a call to
     the the __arch_counter_get_cntvct() helper function

  Miscellaneous:

   - Add some missing header inclusions to the CCA headers

   - Rework rendering of /proc/cpuinfo to follow the x86-approach and
     avoid repeated buffer expansion (the user-visible format remains
     identical)

   - Remove redundant selection of CONFIG_CRC32

   - Extend early error message when failing to map the device-tree
     blob"

     with 48-bit addressing) and remove limited support for
     randomisation of the linear map

  Perf and PMUs:

   - Add support for probing the CMN-S3 driver using ACPI

   - Minor driver fixes to the CMN, Arm-NI and amlogic PMU drivers

  Selftests:

   - Fix FPSIMD and SME tests to align with the freshly re-enabled SME
     support

   - Fix default setting of the OUTPUT variable so that tests are
     installed in the right location

  vDSO:

   - Replace raw counter access from inline assembly code with a call to
     the the __arch_counter_get_cntvct() helper function

  Miscellaneous:

   - Add some missing header inclusions to the CCA headers

   - Rework rendering of /proc/cpuinfo to follow the x86-approach and
     avoid repeated buffer expansion (the user-visible format remains
     identical)

   - Remove redundant selection of CONFIG_CRC32

   - Extend early error message when failing to map the device-tree
     blob"

The common case is to grow reallocations, and since init_on_alloc will
have already zeroed the whole allocation, we only need to zero when
shrinking the allocation.

Patch series "mm: vmalloc: Actually use the in-place vrealloc region".

This fixes a performance regression[1] with vrealloc()[1].


The refactoring to not build a new vmalloc region only actually worked
when shrinking.  Actually return the resized area when it grows.  Ugh.

According to this report,there is a read/write data-race because
m-&gt;private is accessible to multiple CPUs.  To fix this, instead of
allocating the heap in proc_vmalloc_init() and passing the heap address to
m-&gt;private, vmalloc_info_show() should allocate the heap.

In codes of alloc_vmap_area(), it returns the upper bound 'vend' to
indicate if the allocation is successful or failed.  That is not very
clear.

Here change to return explicit error values and check them to judge if
allocation is successful.

taken away into free vmap tree partially or completely accordingly, that
is done in decay_va_pool_node().  When doing that, for each pool of node,
the whole list is detached from the pool for handling.  At this time, that
pool is empty.  It's not necessary to update the pool size each time when
one VA is removed and addded into free vmap tree.

Here change code to update the pool size when attaching the pool back.

When purge lazily freed vmap areas, VA stored in vn-&gt;pool[] will also be
taken away into free vmap tree partially or completely accordingly, that

When finding VA in vn-&gt;busy, if VA spans several zones and the passed addr
is not the same as va-&gt;va_start, we should scan the vn in reverse odrdr
because the starting address of VA must be smaller than the passed addr if
it really resides in the VA.

E.g on a system nr_vmap_nodes=100,

     &lt;----va----&gt;
 -|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-
    ...   n-1   n    n+1   n+2   ...   100     0     1

VA resides in node 'n' whereas it spans 'n', 'n+1' and 'n+2'.  If passed
addr is within 'n+2', we should try nodes backwards on 'n+1' and 'n', then
succeed very soon.

Meanwhile we still need loop around because VA could spans node from 'n'
to node 100, node 0, node 1.

Anyway, changing to find in reverse order can improve efficiency on many
CPUs system.
