Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
 "Many singleton patches against the MM code. The patch series which are
  included in this merge do the following:

   - Kemeng Shi has contributed some compation maintenance work in the
     series 'Fixes and cleanups to compaction'

   - Joel Fernandes has a patchset ('Optimize mremap during mutual
     alignment within PMD') which fixes an obscure issue with mremap()'s
     pagetable handling during a subsequent exec(), based upon an
     implementation which Linus suggested

   - More DAMON/DAMOS maintenance and feature work from SeongJae Park i
     the following patch series:

	mm/damon: misc fixups for documents, comments and its tracepoint
	mm/damon: add a tracepoint for damos apply target regions
	mm/damon: provide pseudo-moving sum based access rate
	mm/damon: implement DAMOS apply intervals
	mm/damon/core-test: Fix memory leaks in core-test
	mm/damon/sysfs-schemes: Do DAMOS tried regions update for only one apply interval

   - In the series 'Do not try to access unaccepted memory' Adrian
     Hunter provides some fixups for the recently-added 'unaccepted
     memory' feature. To increase the feature's checking coverage. 'Plug
     a few gaps where RAM is exposed without checking if it is
     unaccepted memory'

   - In the series 'cleanups for lockless slab shrink' Qi Zheng has done
     some maintenance work which is preparation for the lockless slab
     shrinking code

   - Qi Zheng has redone the earlier (and reverted) attempt to make slab
     shrinking lockless in the series 'use refcount+RCU method to
     implement lockless slab shrink'

   - David Hildenbrand contributes some maintenance work for the rmap
     code in the series 'Anon rmap cleanups'

   - Kefeng Wang does more folio conversions and some maintenance work
     in the migration code. Series 'mm: migrate: more folio conversion
     and unification'

   - Matthew Wilcox has fixed an issue in the buffer_head code which was
     causing long stalls under some heavy memory/IO loads. Some cleanups
     were added on the way. Series 'Add and use bdev_getblk()'

   - In the series 'Use nth_page() in place of direct struct page
     manipulation' Zi Yan has fixed a potential issue with the direct
     manipulation of hugetlb page frames

   - In the series 'mm: hugetlb: Skip initialization of gigantic tail
     struct pages if freed by HVO' has improved our handling of gigantic
     pages in the hugetlb vmmemmep optimizaton code. This provides
     significant boot time improvements when significant amounts of
     gigantic pages are in use

   - Matthew Wilcox has sent the series 'Small hugetlb cleanups' - code
     rationalization and folio conversions in the hugetlb code

   - Yin Fengwei has improved mlock()'s handling of large folios in the
     series 'support large folio for mlock'

   - In the series 'Expose swapcache stat for memcg v1' Liu Shixin has
     added statistics for memcg v1 users which are available (and
     useful) under memcg v2

   - Florent Revest has enhanced the MDWE (Memory-Deny-Write-Executable)
     prctl so that userspace may direct the kernel to not automatically
     propagate the denial to child processes. The series is named 'MDWE
     without inheritance'

   - Kefeng Wang has provided the series 'mm: convert numa balancing
     functions to use a folio' which does what it says

   - In the series 'mm/ksm: add fork-exec support for prctl' Stefan
     Roesch makes is possible for a process to propagate KSM treatment
     across exec()

   - Huang Ying has enhanced memory tiering's calculation of memory
     distances. This is used to permit the dax/kmem driver to use 'high
     bandwidth memory' in addition to Optane Data Center Persistent
     Memory Modules (DCPMM). The series is named 'memory tiering:
     calculate abstract distance based on ACPI HMAT'

   - In the series 'Smart scanning mode for KSM' Stefan Roesch has
     optimized KSM by teaching it to retain and use some historical
     information from previous scans

   - Yosry Ahmed has fixed some inconsistencies in memcg statistics in
     the series 'mm: memcg: fix tracking of pending stats updates
     values'

   - In the series 'Implement IOCTL to get and optionally clear info
     about PTEs' Peter Xu has added an ioctl to /proc/&lt;pid&gt;/pagemap
     which permits us to atomically read-then-clear page softdirty
     state. This is mainly used by CRIU

   - Hugh Dickins contributed the series 'shmem,tmpfs: general
     maintenance', a bunch of relatively minor maintenance tweaks to
     this code

   - Matthew Wilcox has increased the use of the VMA lock over
     file-backed page faults in the series 'Handle more faults under the
     VMA lock'. Some rationalizations of the fault path became possible
     as a result

   - In the series 'mm/rmap: convert page_move_anon_rmap() to
     folio_move_anon_rmap()' David Hildenbrand has implemented some
     cleanups and folio conversions

   - In the series 'various improvements to the GUP interface' Lorenzo
     Stoakes has simplified and improved the GUP interface with an eye
     to providing groundwork for future improvements

   - Andrey Konovalov has sent along the series 'kasan: assorted fixes
     and improvements' which does those things

   - Some page allocator maintenance work from Kemeng Shi in the series
     'Two minor cleanups to break_down_buddy_pages'

   - In thes series 'New selftest for mm' Breno Leitao has developed
     another MM self test which tickles a race we had between madvise()
     and page faults

   - In the series 'Add folio_end_read' Matthew Wilcox provides cleanups
     and an optimization to the core pagecache code

   - Nhat Pham has added memcg accounting for hugetlb memory in the
     series 'hugetlb memcg accounting'

   - Cleanups and rationalizations to the pagemap code from Lorenzo
     Stoakes, in the series 'Abstract vma_merge() and split_vma()'

   - Audra Mitchell has fixed issues in the procfs page_owner code's new
     timestamping feature which was causing some misbehaviours. In the
     series 'Fix page_owner's use of free timestamps'

   - Lorenzo Stoakes has fixed the handling of new mappings of sealed
     files in the series 'permit write-sealed memfd read-only shared
     mappings'

   - Mike Kravetz has optimized the hugetlb vmemmap optimization in the
     series 'Batch hugetlb vmemmap modification operations'

   - Some buffer_head folio conversions and cleanups from Matthew Wilcox
     in the series 'Finish the create_empty_buffers() transition'

   - As a page allocator performance optimization Huang Ying has added
     automatic tuning to the allocator's per-cpu-pages feature, in the
     series 'mm: PCP high auto-tuning'

   - Roman Gushchin has contributed the patchset 'mm: improve
     performance of accounted kernel memory allocations' which improves
     their performance by ~30% as measured by a micro-benchmark

   - folio conversions from Kefeng Wang in the series 'mm: convert page
     cpupid functions to folios'

   - Some kmemleak fixups in Liu Shixin's series 'Some bugfix about
     kmemleak'

     them off the allocation fallback list. This is done in the series
     'handle memoryless nodes more appropriately'

   - khugepaged conversions from Vishal Moola in the series 'Some
     khugepaged folio conversions'"

[ bcachefs conflicts with the dynamically allocated shrinkers have been
  resolved as per Stephen Rothwell in

     https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230913093553.4290421e@canb.auug.org.au/

  with help from Qi Zheng.

Sync if_link uapi header to the latest version as we need the refresher
in tooling for netkit device. Given it's been a while since the last sync
and the diff is fairly big, it has been done as its own commit.

Sync if_link uapi header to the latest version as we need the refresher
in tooling for netkit device. Given it's been a while since the last sync
and the diff is fairly big, it has been done as its own commit.

<content type='text'>
This work adds a new, minimal BPF-programmable device called "netkit"
(former PoC code-name "meta") we recently presented at LSF/MM/BPF. The
core idea is that BPF programs are executed within the drivers xmit routine
and therefore e.g. in case of containers/Pods moving BPF processing closer
to the source.

One of the goals was that in case of Pod egress traffic, this allows to
move BPF programs from hostns tcx ingress into the device itself, providing
earlier drop or forward mechanisms, for example, if the BPF program
determines that the skb must be sent out of the node, then a redirect to
the physical device can take place directly without going through per-CPU
backlog queue. This helps to shift processing for such traffic from softirq
to process context, leading to better scheduling decisions/performance (see
measurements in the slides).

In this initial version, the netkit device ships as a pair, but we plan to
extend this further so it can also operate in single device mode. The pair
comes with a primary and a peer device. Only the primary device, typically
residing in hostns, can manage BPF programs for itself and its peer. The
peer device is designated for containers/Pods and cannot attach/detach
BPF programs. Upon the device creation, the user can set the default policy
to 'pass' or 'drop' for the case when no BPF program is attached.

Additionally, the device can be operated in L3 (default) or L2 mode. The
management of BPF programs is done via bpf_mprog, so that multi-attach is
supported right from the beginning with similar API and dependency controls
as tcx. For details on the latter see commit 053c8e1f235d ("bpf: Add generic
attach/detach/query API for multi-progs"). tc BPF compatibility is provided,
so that existing programs can be easily migrated.

Going forward, we plan to use netkit devices in Cilium as the main device
type for connecting Pods. They will be operated in L3 mode in order to
simplify a Pod's neighbor management and the peer will operate in default
drop mode, so that no traffic is leaving between the time when a Pod is
brought up by the CNI plugin and programs attached by the agent.
Additionally, the programs we attach via tcx on the physical devices are
using bpf_redirect_peer() for inbound traffic into netkit device, hence the
latter is also supporting the ndo_get_peer_dev callback. Similarly, we use
bpf_redirect_neigh() for the way out, pushing from netkit peer to phys device
directly. Also, BIG TCP is supported on netkit device. For the follow-up
work in single device mode, we plan to convert Cilium's cilium_host/_net
devices into a single one.

An extensive test suite for checking device operations and the BPF program
and link management API comes as BPF selftests in this series.

We've added 90 non-merge commits during the last 25 day(s) which contain
a total of 120 files changed, 3519 insertions(+), 895 deletions(-).

The main changes are:

1) Add missed stats for kprobes to retrieve the number of missed kprobe
   executions and subsequent executions of BPF programs, from Jiri Olsa.

2) Add cgroup BPF sockaddr hooks for unix sockets. The use case is
   for systemd to reimplement the LogNamespace feature which allows
   running multiple instances of systemd-journald to process the logs
   of different services, from Daan De Meyer.

3) Implement BPF CPUv4 support for s390x BPF JIT, from Ilya Leoshkevich.

4) Improve BPF verifier log output for scalar registers to better
   disambiguate their internal state wrt defaults vs min/max values
   matching, from Andrii Nakryiko.

5) Extend the BPF fib lookup helpers for IPv4/IPv6 to support retrieving
   the source IP address with a new BPF_FIB_LOOKUP_SRC flag,
   from Martynas Pumputis.

6) Add support for open-coded task_vma iterator to help with symbolization
   for BPF-collected user stacks, from Dave Marchevsky.

7) Add libbpf getters for accessing individual BPF ring buffers which
   is useful for polling them individually, for example, from Martin Kelly.

8) Extend AF_XDP selftests to validate the SHARED_UMEM feature,
   from Tushar Vyavahare.

9) Improve BPF selftests cross-building support for riscv arch,
   from Björn Töpel.

10) Add the ability to pin a BPF timer to the same calling CPU,
   from David Vernet.

11) Fix libbpf's bpf_tracing.h macros for riscv to use the generic
   implementation of PT_REGS_SYSCALL_REGS() to access syscall arguments,
   from Alexandre Ghiti.

12) Extend libbpf to support symbol versioning for uprobes, from Hengqi Chen.

13) Fix bpftool's skeleton code generation to guarantee that ELF data
    is 8 byte aligned, from Ian Rogers.

14) Inherit system-wide cpu_mitigations_off() setting for Spectre v1/v4
    security mitigations in BPF verifier, from Yafang Shao.

15) Annotate struct bpf_stack_map with __counted_by attribute to prepare
    BPF side for upcoming __counted_by compiler support, from Kees Cook.

<content type='text'>
These hooks allows intercepting connect(), getsockname(),
getpeername(), sendmsg() and recvmsg() for unix sockets. The unix
socket hooks get write access to the address length because the
address length is not fixed when dealing with unix sockets and
needs to be modified when a unix socket address is modified by
the hook. Because abstract socket unix addresses start with a
NUL byte, we cannot recalculate the socket address in kernelspace
after running the hook by calculating the length of the unix socket
path using strlen().

These hooks can be used when users want to multiplex syscall to a
single unix socket to multiple different processes behind the scenes
by redirecting the connect() and other syscalls to process specific
sockets.

We do not implement support for intercepting bind() because when
using bind() with unix sockets with a pathname address, this creates
an inode in the filesystem which must be cleaned up. If we rewrite
the address, the user might try to clean up the wrong file, leaking
the socket in the filesystem where it is never cleaned up. Until we
figure out a solution for this (and a use case for intercepting bind()),
we opt to not allow rewriting the sockaddr in bind() calls.

We also implement recvmsg() support for connected streams so that
after a connect() that is modified by a sockaddr hook, any corresponding
recmvsg() on the connected socket can also be modified to make the
connected program think it is connected to the "intended" remote.

These hooks allows intercepting connect(), getsockname(),
getpeername(), sendmsg() and recvmsg() for unix sockets. The unix
socket hooks get write access to the address length because the
address length is not fixed when dealing with unix sockets and
needs to be modified when a unix socket address is modified by
the hook. Because abstract socket unix addresses start with a
NUL byte, we cannot recalculate the socket address in kernelspace
after running the hook by calculating the length of the unix socket
path using strlen().

These hooks can be used when users want to multiplex syscall to a
single unix socket to multiple different processes behind the scenes
by redirecting the connect() and other syscalls to process specific
sockets.

We do not implement support for intercepting bind() because when
using bind() with unix sockets with a pathname address, this creates
an inode in the filesystem which must be cleaned up. If we rewrite
the address, the user might try to clean up the wrong file, leaking
the socket in the filesystem where it is never cleaned up. Until we
figure out a solution for this (and a use case for intercepting bind()),
we opt to not allow rewriting the sockaddr in bind() calls.

We also implement recvmsg() support for connected streams so that
after a connect() that is modified by a sockaddr hook, any corresponding
recmvsg() on the connected socket can also be modified to make the
connected program think it is connected to the "intended" remote.

Extend the bpf_fib_lookup() helper by making it to return the source
IPv4/IPv6 address if the BPF_FIB_LOOKUP_SRC flag is set.

For example, the following snippet can be used to derive the desired
source IP address:

    struct bpf_fib_lookup p = { .ipv4_dst = ip4-&gt;daddr };

    ret = bpf_skb_fib_lookup(skb, p, sizeof(p),
            BPF_FIB_LOOKUP_SRC | BPF_FIB_LOOKUP_SKIP_NEIGH);
    if (ret != BPF_FIB_LKUP_RET_SUCCESS)
        return TC_ACT_SHOT;

    /* the p.ipv4_src now contains the source address */

The inability to derive the proper source address may cause malfunctions
in BPF-based dataplanes for hosts containing netdevs with more than one
routable IP address or for multi-homed hosts.

For example, Cilium implements packet masquerading in BPF. If an
egressing netdev to which the Cilium's BPF prog is attached has
multiple IP addresses, then only one [hardcoded] IP address can be used for
masquerading. This breaks connectivity if any other IP address should have
been selected instead, for example, when a public and private addresses
are attached to the same egress interface.

The change was tested with Cilium [1].

Nikolay Aleksandrov helped to figure out the IPv6 addr selection.
