Linus Torvalds	00c010e130	- The 11 patch series "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. - The 8 patch series "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. - The 3 patch series "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. - The 2 patch series "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. - The 8 patch series "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. - The 6 patch series "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. - The 3 patch series "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. - The 2 patch series "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. - The 3 patch series "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. - The 3 patch series "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. - The 12 patch series "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. - The 9 patch series "Rust support for mm_struct, vm_area_struct, and mmap" from Alice Ryhl adds plumbing to permit Rust access to core MM structures. - The 3 patch series "fix incorrectly disallowed anonymous VMA merges" from Lorenzo Stoakes takes advantage of some VMA merging opportunities which we've been missing for 15 years. - The 4 patch series "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. - The 6 patch series "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. - The 3 patch series "mm/gup: Minor fix, cleanup and improvements" from Baoquan He removes a few unnecessary things which Baoquan noted when reading the code. - The 3 patch series ""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. - The 7 patch series "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. - The 5 patch series "mm/vmalloc.c: code cleanup and improvements" from Baoquan He provides cleanups and small efficiency improvements which Baoquan found via code inspection. - The 2 patch series "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." - The 2 patch series ""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. - The 3 patch series "Use kmem_cache for memcg alloc" from Huan Yang creates a slab cache for `struct mem_cgroup', yielding improved memory utilization. - The 4 patch series "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. - The 17 patch series "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. - The 7 patch series "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. - The 2 patch series "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. - The 2 patch series "JFS: Implement migrate_folio for jfs_metapage_aops" from Shivank Garg addresses a warning which occurs during memory compaction when using JFS. - The 4 patch series "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. - The 6 patch series "mm, swap: clean up swap cache mapping helper" from Kairui Song provides code consolidation and cleanups related to the folio_index() function. - The 2 patch series "mm/gup: Cleanup memfd_pin_folios()" from Vishal Moola does that. - The 8 patch series "memcg: Fix test_memcg_min/low test failures" from Waiman Long addresses some bogus failures which are being reported by the test_memcontrol selftest. - The 3 patch series "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. - The 4 patch series "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. - The 6 patch series "mm/damon: minor fixups and improvements for code, tests, and documents" from SeongJae Park is "yet another batch of miscellaneous DAMON changes.

Ard Biesheuvel	93d0d6f8a6	arm64/boot: Move init_pgdir[] and init_idmap_pgdir[] into __pi_ namespace ... init_pgdir[] is only referenced from the startup code, but lives after BSS in the linker map. Before tightening the rules about accessing BSS from startup code, move init_pgdir[] into the __pi_ namespace, so it does not need to be exported explicitly. For symmetry, do the same with init_idmap_pgdir[], although it lives before BSS.

Subsequently all level specific pxxval_t descriptors are derived from ptdesc_t thus establishing a common original format, which can also be appropriate for page table entries, masks and protection values etc which are used at all page table levels.

Ard Biesheuvel	9684ec186f	arm64: Enable LPA2 at boot if supported by the system ... Update the early kernel mapping code to take 52-bit virtual addressing into account based on the LPA2 feature. This is a bit more involved than LVA (which is supported with 64k pages only), given that some page table descriptor bits change meaning in this case. To keep the handling in asm to a minimum, the initial ID map is still created with 48-bit virtual addressing, which implies that the kernel image must be loaded into 48-bit addressable physical memory. This is currently required by the boot protocol, even though we happen to support placement outside of that for LVA/64k based configurations. Enabling LPA2 involves more than setting TCR.T1SZ to a lower value, there is also a DS bit in TCR that needs to be set, and which changes the meaning of bits [9:8] in all page table descriptors. Since we cannot enable DS and every live page table descriptor at the same time, let's pivot through another temporary mapping. This avoids the need to reintroduce manipulations of the page tables with the MMU and caches disabled. To permit the LPA2 feature to be overridden on the kernel command line, which may be necessary to work around silicon errata, or to deal with mismatched features on heterogeneous SoC designs, test for CPU feature overrides first, and only then enable LPA2.

Ard Biesheuvel	84b04d3e6b	arm64: kernel: Create initial ID map from C code ... The asm code that creates the initial ID map is rather intricate and hard to follow. This is problematic because it makes adding support for things like LPA2 or WXN more difficult than necessary. Also, it is parameterized like the rest of the MM code to run with a configurable number of levels, which is rather pointless, given that all AArch64 CPUs implement support for 48-bit virtual addressing, and that many systems exist with DRAM located outside of the 39-bit addressable range, which is the only smaller VA size that is widely used, and we need additional tricks to make things work in that combination. So let's bite the bullet, and rip out all the asm macros, and fiddly code, and replace it with a C implementation based on the newly added routines for creating the early kernel VA mappings. And while at it, create the initial ID map based on 48-bit virtual addressing as well, regardless of the number of configured levels for the kernel proper. Note that this code may execute with the MMU and caches disabled, and is therefore not permitted to make unaligned accesses. This shouldn't generally happen in any case for the algorithm as implemented, but to be sure, let's pass -mstrict-align to the compiler just in case.

Ard Biesheuvel	97a6f43bb0	arm64: head: Move early kernel mapping routines into C code ... The asm version of the kernel mapping code works fine for creating a coarse grained identity map, but for mapping the kernel down to its exact boundaries with the right attributes, it is not suitable. This is why we create a preliminary RWX kernel mapping first, and then rebuild it from scratch later on. So let's reimplement this in C, in a way that will make it unnecessary to create the kernel page tables yet another time in paging_init().

Ard Biesheuvel	48157aa392	arm64: kernel: Manage absolute relocations in code built under pi/ ... The mini C runtime runs before relocations are processed, and so it cannot rely on statically initialized pointer variables. Add a check to ensure that such code does not get introduced by accident, by going over the relocations in each object, identifying the ones that operate on data sections that are part of the executable image, and raising an error if any relocations of type R_AARCH64_ABS64 exist. Note that such relocations are permitted in other places (e.g., debug sections) and will never occur in compiler generated code sections when using the small code model, so only check sections that have SHF_ALLOC set and SHF_EXECINSTR cleared. To accommodate cases where statically initialized symbol references are unavoidable, introduce a special case for ELF input data sections that have ".rodata.prel64" in their names, and in these cases, instead of rejecting any encountered ABS64 relocations, convert them into PREL64 relocations, which don't require any runtime fixups. Note that the code in question must still be modified to deal with this, as it needs to convert the 64-bit signed offsets into absolute addresses before use.
