e991acf1bc Significant patch series in this pull request:
- The 2 patch series "squashfs: Remove page->mapping references" from
   Matthew Wilcox gets us closer to being able to remove page->mapping.
 
 - The 5 patch series "relayfs: misc changes" from Jason Xing does some
   maintenance and minor feature addition work in relayfs.
 
 - The 5 patch series "kdump: crashkernel reservation from CMA" from Jiri
   Bohac switches us from static preallocation of the kdump crashkernel's
   working memory over to dynamic allocation.  So the difficulty of
   a-priori estimation of the second kernel's needs is removed and the
   first kernel obtains extra memory.
 
 - The 5 patch series "generalize panic_print's dump function to be used
   by other kernel parts" from Feng Tang implements some consolidation and
   rationalizatio of the various ways in which a faiing kernel splats
   information at the operator.

98aa4d5d24 init/main.c: add warning when file specified in rdinit is inaccessible
Avoid silently ignoring the initramfs when the file specified in rdinit is
not usable.  This prints an error that clearly explains the issue (file
was not found, vs initramfs was not found).

ce2c403c26 x86/efi: Move runtime service initialization to arch/x86
The EFI call in start_kernel() is guarded by #ifdef CONFIG_X86. Move

the #ifdef in start_kernel().

No functional change intended.

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.  Fix and improve minor problems in code,
   tests and documents."
 
 - The 7 patch series "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.
 
 - The 4 patch series "Let unmap_hugepage_range() and several related
   functions take folio instead of page" from Fan Ni provides folio
   conversions in the hugetlb code.

bc9817bb7a mm/memcg: move mem_cgroup_init() ahead of cgroup_init()
Patch series "Use kmem_cache for memcg alloc", v3.

(willy tldr: "you've gone from allocating 8 objects per 32KiB to
allocating 13 objects per 32KiB, a 62% improvement in memory consumption"
[1])


The mem_cgroup_alloc function creates mem_cgroup struct and it's
associated structures including mem_cgroup_per_node.  Through detailed
analysis on our test machine (Arm64, 16GB RAM, 6.6 kernel, 1 NUMA node,
memcgv2 with nokmem,nosocket,cgroup_disable=pressure), we can observe the
memory allocation for these structures using the following shell commands:

  # Enable tracing
  echo 1 > /sys/kernel/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/enable
  echo 1 > /sys/kernel/tracing/tracing_on
  cat /sys/kernel/tracing/trace_pipe | grep kmalloc | grep mem_cgroup

  # Trigger allocation if cgroup subtree do not enable memcg
  echo +memory > /sys/fs/cgroup/cgroup.subtree_control

Ftrace Output:

  # mem_cgroup struct allocation
  sh-6312    [000] ..... 58015.698365: kmalloc:
    call_site=mem_cgroup_css_alloc+0xd8/0x5b4
    ptr=000000003e4c3799 bytes_req=2312 bytes_alloc=4096
    gfp_flags=GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_ZERO node=-1 accounted=false

  # mem_cgroup_per_node allocation
  sh-6312    [000] ..... 58015.698389: kmalloc:
    call_site=mem_cgroup_css_alloc+0x1d8/0x5b4
    ptr=00000000d798700c bytes_req=2896 bytes_alloc=4096
    gfp_flags=GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_ZERO node=0 accounted=false

Key Observations:

  1. Both structures use kmalloc with requested sizes between 2KB-4KB
  2. Allocation alignment forces 4KB slab usage due to pre-defined sizes
     (64B, 128B,..., 2KB, 4KB, 8KB)
  3. Memory waste per memcg instance:
      Base struct: 4096 - 2312 = 1784 bytes
      Per-node struct: 4096 - 2896 = 1200 bytes
      Total waste: 2984 bytes (1-node system)
      NUMA scaling: (1200 + 8) * nr_node_ids bytes

So, it's a little waste.

This patchset introduces dedicated kmem_cache:
  Patch2 - mem_cgroup kmem_cache - memcg_cachep
  Patch3 - mem_cgroup_per_node kmem_cache - memcg_pn_cachep

The benefits of this change can be observed with the following tracing
commands:

  # Enable tracing
  echo 1 > /sys/kernel/tracing/events/kmem/kmem_cache_alloc/enable
  echo 1 > /sys/kernel/tracing/tracing_on
  cat /sys/kernel/tracing/trace_pipe | grep kmem_cache_alloc | grep mem_cgroup
  # In another terminal:
  echo +memory > /sys/fs/cgroup/cgroup.subtree_control


The output might now look like this:

  # mem_cgroup struct allocation
  sh-9827     [000] .....   289.513598: kmem_cache_alloc:
    call_site=mem_cgroup_css_alloc+0xbc/0x5d4 ptr=00000000695c1806
    bytes_req=2312 bytes_alloc=2368 gfp_flags=GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_ZERO node=-1
    accounted=false
  # mem_cgroup_per_node allocation
  sh-9827     [000] .....   289.513602: kmem_cache_alloc:
    call_site=mem_cgroup_css_alloc+0x1b8/0x5d4 ptr=000000002989e63a
    bytes_req=2896 bytes_alloc=2944 gfp_flags=GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_ZERO node=0
    accounted=false

This indicates that the `mem_cgroup` struct now requests 2312 bytes and is
allocated 2368 bytes, while `mem_cgroup_per_node` requests 2896 bytes and
is allocated 2944 bytes.  The slight increase in allocated size is due to
`SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN` in the `kmem_cache`.

Without `SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN`, the allocation might appear as:

  # mem_cgroup struct allocation
  sh-9269     [003] .....    80.396366: kmem_cache_alloc:
    call_site=mem_cgroup_css_alloc+0xbc/0x5d4 ptr=000000005b12b475
    bytes_req=2312 bytes_alloc=2312 gfp_flags=GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_ZERO node=-1
    accounted=false

  # mem_cgroup_per_node allocation
  sh-9269     [003] .....    80.396411: kmem_cache_alloc:
    call_site=mem_cgroup_css_alloc+0x1b8/0x5d4 ptr=00000000f347adc6
    bytes_req=2896 bytes_alloc=2896 gfp_flags=GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_ZERO node=0
    accounted=false

While the `bytes_alloc` now matches the `bytes_req`, this patchset
defaults to using `SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN` as it is generally considered more
beneficial for performance.  Please let me know if there are any issues or
if I've misunderstood anything.

This patchset also move mem_cgroup_init ahead of cgroup_init() due to
cgroup_init() will allocate root_mem_cgroup, but each initcall invoke
after cgroup_init, so if each kmem_cache do not prepare, we need testing
NULL before use it.


This patch (of 3):

When cgroup_init() creates root_mem_cgroup through css_alloc callback,
some critical resources might not be fully initialized, forcing later
operations to perform conditional checks for resource availability.

This patch move mem_cgroup_init() to address the init order, it invoke
before cgroup_init, so, compare to subsys_initcall, it can use to prepare
some key resources before root_mem_cgroup alloc.

3330dc1b20 init/main.c: log initcall level when initcall_debug is used
When initcall_debug is specified on the command line, the start and return
point for each initcall is printed.  However, no information on the
initcall level is reported.

Add to the initcall_debug infrastructure an additional print that informs
when a new initcall level is entered.  This is particularly useful when
debugging dependency chains and/or working on boot time reduction.

23c22d9156 rcu-tasks: Move RCU Tasks self-tests to core_initcall()
The timer and hrtimer softirq processing has moved to dedicated threads
for kernels built with CONFIG_IRQ_FORCED_THREADING=y.  This results in
timers not expiring until later in early boot, which in turn causes the
RCU Tasks self-tests to hang in kernels built with CONFIG_PROVE_RCU=y,
which further causes the entire kernel to hang.  One fix would be to
make timers work during this time, but there are no known users of RCU
Tasks grace periods during that time, so no justification for the added
complexity.  Not yet, anyway.

This commit therefore moves the call to rcu_init_tasks_generic() from
kernel_init_freeable() to a core_initcall().  This works because the
timer and hrtimer kthreads are created at early_initcall() time.

c6f239796b mm/memblock: add memblock_alloc_or_panic interface
Before SLUB initialization, various subsystems used memblock_alloc to
allocate memory.  In most cases, when memory allocation fails, an
immediate panic is required.  To simplify this behavior and reduce
repetitive checks, introduce `memblock_alloc_or_panic`.  This function
ensures that memory allocation failures result in a panic automatically,
improving code readability and consistency across subsystems that require
this behavior.

17b655759e init: Don't proxy console= to earlycon
Today we are proxying the `console=` command line args to the
`param_setup_earlycon()` handler. This is done because the following are
equivalent:

    console=uart[8250],mmio,<addr>[,options]
    earlycon=uart[8250],mmio,<addr>[,options]

Both invocations enable an early `bootconsole`. `console=uartXXXX` is
just an alias for `earlycon=uartXXXX`.

In addition, when `earlycon=` (empty value) or just `earlycon`
(no value) is specified on the command line, we enable the earlycon
`bootconsole` specified by the SPCR table or the DT.

The problem arises when `console=` (empty value) is specified on the
command line. It's intention is to disable the `console`, but what
happens instead is that the SPRC/DT console gets enabled.

This happens because we are proxying the `console=` (empty value)
parameter to the `earlycon` handler. The `earlycon` handler then sees
that the parameter value is empty, so it enables the SPCR/DT
`bootconsole`.

This change makes it so that the `console` or `console=` parameters no
longer enable the SPCR/DT `bootconsole`. I also cleans up the hack in
`main.c` that would forward the `console` parameter to the `earlycon`
handler.

77b644c39d init/main.c: Initialize early LSMs after arch code, static keys and calls.
With LSMs using static calls and static keys, early_lsm_init needs to
wait for setup_arch for architecture specific functionality which
includes jump tables and static calls to be initialized.

Since not all architectures call jump_table_init in setup_arch,
explicitly call both jump_table_init and static_call_init before
early_security_init.

This only affects "early LSMs" i.e. only lockdown when
CONFIG_SECURITY_LOCKDOWN_LSM_EARLY is set.

f9899c0281 NUMA: early use of cpu_to_node() returns 0 instead of the correct node id
During the kernel booting, the generic cpu_to_node() is called too early
in arm64, powerpc and riscv when CONFIG_NUMA is enabled.

There are at least four places in the common code where
the generic cpu_to_node() is called before it is initialized:
	   1.) early_trace_init()         in kernel/trace/trace.c
	   2.) sched_init()               in kernel/sched/core.c
	   3.) init_sched_fair_class()    in kernel/sched/fair.c
	   4.) workqueue_init_early()     in kernel/workqueue.c

This will harm performance since there is an increase in off node
accesses.

In order to fix the bug, the patch introduces early_numa_node_init() which
is called after smp_prepare_boot_cpu() in start_kernel. 
early_numa_node_init will initialize the "numa_node" as soon as the
early_cpu_to_node() is ready, before the cpu_to_node() is called at the
first time.

212f863fa8 bootconfig: do not put quotes on cmdline items unless necessary
When trying to migrate to using bootconfig to embed the kernel's and
PID1's command line with the kernel image itself, and so allowing changing
that without modifying the bootloader, I noticed that /proc/cmdline
changed from e.g.

  console=ttymxc0,115200n8 cma=128M quiet -- --log-level=notice

to

  console="ttymxc0,115200n8" cma="128M" quiet -- --log-level="notice"

The kernel parameters are parsed just fine, and the quotes are indeed
stripped from the actual argv[] given to PID1.  However, the quoting
doesn't really serve any purpose and looks excessive, and might confuse
some (naive) userspace tool trying to parse /proc/cmdline.  So do not
quote the value unless it contains whitespace.

46dad3c1e5 init/main.c: Fix potential static_command_line memory overflow

When strlen(command_line) > strlen(boot_command_line), static_command_line
will overflow.

91a1d97ef4 jump_label,module: Don't alloc static_key_mod for __ro_after_init keys
When a static_key is marked ro_after_init, its state will never change
(after init), therefore jump_label_update() will never need to iterate
the entries, and thus module load won't actually need to track this --
avoiding the static_key::next write.

Therefore, mark these keys such that jump_label_add_module() might
recognise them and avoid the modification.

Use the special state: 'static_key_linked(key) && !static_key_mod(key)'

jump_label_add_module() does not exist under CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL=n, so the
newly-introduced jump_label_init_ro() can be defined as a nop for that
configuration.

902861e34c - Sumanth Korikkar has taught s390 to allocate hotplug-time page frames
from hotplugged memory rather than only from main memory.  Series
   "implement "memmap on memory" feature on s390".
 
 - More folio conversions from Matthew Wilcox in the series
 
 	"Convert memcontrol charge moving to use folios"
 	"mm: convert mm counter to take a folio"
 
 - Chengming Zhou has optimized zswap's rbtree locking, providing
   significant reductions in system time and modest but measurable
   reductions in overall runtimes.  The series is "mm/zswap: optimize the
   scalability of zswap rb-tree".
 
 - Chengming Zhou has also provided the series "mm/zswap: optimize zswap
   lru list" which provides measurable runtime benefits in some
   swap-intensive situations.
 
 - And Chengming Zhou further optimizes zswap in the series "mm/zswap:
   optimize for dynamic zswap_pools".  Measured improvements are modest.
 
 - zswap cleanups and simplifications from Yosry Ahmed in the series "mm:
   zswap: simplify zswap_swapoff()".
 
 - In the series "Add DAX ABI for memmap_on_memory", Vishal Verma has
   contributed several DAX cleanups as well as adding a sysfs tunable to
   control the memmap_on_memory setting when the dax device is hotplugged
   as system memory.
 
 - Johannes Weiner has added the large series "mm: zswap: cleanups",
   which does that.
 
 - More DAMON work from SeongJae Park in the series
 
 	"mm/damon: make DAMON debugfs interface deprecation unignorable"
 	"selftests/damon: add more tests for core functionalities and corner cases"
 	"Docs/mm/damon: misc readability improvements"
 	"mm/damon: let DAMOS feeds and tame/auto-tune itself"
 
 - In the series "mm/mempolicy: weighted interleave mempolicy and sysfs
   extension" Rakie Kim has developed a new mempolicy interleaving policy
   wherein we allocate memory across nodes in a weighted fashion rather
   than uniformly.  This is beneficial in heterogeneous memory environments
   appearing with CXL.
 
 - Christophe Leroy has contributed some cleanup and consolidation work
   against the ARM pagetable dumping code in the series "mm: ptdump:
   Refactor CONFIG_DEBUG_WX and check_wx_pages debugfs attribute".
 
 - Luis Chamberlain has added some additional xarray selftesting in the
   series "test_xarray: advanced API multi-index tests".
 
 - Muhammad Usama Anjum has reworked the selftest code to make its
   human-readable output conform to the TAP ("Test Anything Protocol")
   format.  Amongst other things, this opens up the use of third-party
   tools to parse and process out selftesting results.
 
 - Ryan Roberts has added fork()-time PTE batching of THP ptes in the
   series "mm/memory: optimize fork() with PTE-mapped THP".  Mainly
   targeted at arm64, this significantly speeds up fork() when the process
   has a large number of pte-mapped folios.
 
 - David Hildenbrand also gets in on the THP pte batching game in his
   series "mm/memory: optimize unmap/zap with PTE-mapped THP".  It
   implements batching during munmap() and other pte teardown situations.
   The microbenchmark improvements are nice.
 
 - And in the series "Transparent Contiguous PTEs for User Mappings" Ryan
   Roberts further utilizes arm's pte's contiguous bit ("contpte
   mappings").  Kernel build times on arm64 improved nicely.  Ryan's series
   "Address some contpte nits" provides some followup work.
 
 - In the series "mm/hugetlb: Restore the reservation" Breno Leitao has
   fixed an obscure hugetlb race which was causing unnecessary page faults.
   He has also added a reproducer under the selftest code.
 
 - In the series "selftests/mm: Output cleanups for the compaction test",
   Mark Brown did what the title claims.
 
 - Kinsey Ho has added the series "mm/mglru: code cleanup and refactoring".
 
 - Even more zswap material from Nhat Pham.  The series "fix and extend
   zswap kselftests" does as claimed.
 
 - In the series "Introduce cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() to fix DAX
   regression" Mathieu Desnoyers has cleaned up and fixed rather a mess in
   our handling of DAX on archiecctures which have virtually aliasing data
   caches.  The arm architecture is the main beneficiary.
 
 - Lokesh Gidra's series "per-vma locks in userfaultfd" provides dramatic
   improvements in worst-case mmap_lock hold times during certain
   userfaultfd operations.
 
 - Some page_owner enhancements and maintenance work from Oscar Salvador
   in his series
 
 	"page_owner: print stacks and their outstanding allocations"
 	"page_owner: Fixup and cleanup"
 
 - Uladzislau Rezki has contributed some vmalloc scalability improvements
   in his series "Mitigate a vmap lock contention".  It realizes a 12x
   improvement for a certain microbenchmark.
 
 - Some kexec/crash cleanup work from Baoquan He in the series "Split
   crash out from kexec and clean up related config items".
 
 - Some zsmalloc maintenance work from Chengming Zhou in the series
 
 	"mm/zsmalloc: fix and optimize objects/page migration"
 	"mm/zsmalloc: some cleanup for get/set_zspage_mapping()"
 
 - Zi Yan has taught the MM to perform compaction on folios larger than
   order=0.  This a step along the path to implementaton of the merging of
   large anonymous folios.  The series is named "Enable >0 order folio
   memory compaction".
 
 - Christoph Hellwig has done quite a lot of cleanup work in the
   pagecache writeback code in his series "convert write_cache_pages() to
   an iterator".
 
 - Some modest hugetlb cleanups and speedups in Vishal Moola's series
   "Handle hugetlb faults under the VMA lock".
 
 - Zi Yan has changed the page splitting code so we can split huge pages
   into sizes other than order-0 to better utilize large folios.  The
   series is named "Split a folio to any lower order folios".
 
 - David Hildenbrand has contributed the series "mm: remove
   total_mapcount()", a cleanup.
 
 - Matthew Wilcox has sought to improve the performance of bulk memory
   freeing in his series "Rearrange batched folio freeing".
 
 - Gang Li's series "hugetlb: parallelize hugetlb page init on boot"
   provides large improvements in bootup times on large machines which are
   configured to use large numbers of hugetlb pages.
 
 - Matthew Wilcox's series "PageFlags cleanups" does that.
 
 - Qi Zheng's series "minor fixes and supplement for ptdesc" does that
   also.  S390 is affected.
 
 - Cleanups to our pagemap utility functions from Peter Xu in his series

ce0c1c9265 Modules changes for v6.9-rc1
Christophe Leroy did most of the work on this release, first with a few
 cleanups on CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX and ending with error handling for
 when set_memory_XX() can fail. This is part of a larger effort to clean
 up all these callers which can fail, modules is just part of it.
 
 This has been sitting on linux-next for about a month without issues.

ca7e917769 Rework of APIC enumeration and topology evaluation:
The current implementation has a couple of shortcomings:
 
   - It fails to handle hybrid systems correctly.
 
   - The APIC registration code which handles CPU number assignents is in
     the middle of the APIC code and detached from the topology evaluation.
 
   - The various mechanisms which enumerate APICs, ACPI, MPPARSE and guest
     specific ones, tweak global variables as they see fit or in case of
     XENPV just hack around the generic mechanisms completely.
 
   - The CPUID topology evaluation code is sprinkled all over the vendor
     code and reevaluates global variables on every hotplug operation.
 
   - There is no way to analyze topology on the boot CPU before bringing up
     the APs. This causes problems for infrastructure like PERF which needs
     to size certain aspects upfront or could be simplified if that would be
     possible.
 
   - The APIC admission and CPU number association logic is incomprehensible
     and overly complex and needs to be kept around after boot instead of
     completing this right after the APIC enumeration.
 
 This update addresses these shortcomings with the following changes:
 
   - Rework the CPUID evaluation code so it is common for all vendors and
     provides information about the APIC ID segments in a uniform way
     independent of the number of segments (Thread, Core, Module, ..., Die,
     Package) so that this information can be computed instead of rewriting
     global variables of dubious value over and over.
 
   - A few cleanups and simplifcations of the APIC, IO/APIC and related
     interfaces to prepare for the topology evaluation changes.
 
   - Seperation of the parser stages so the early evaluation which tries to
     find the APIC address can be seperately overridden from the late
     evaluation which enumerates and registers the local APIC as further
     preparation for sanitizing the topology evaluation.
 
   - A new registration and admission logic which
 
      - encapsulates the inner workings so that parsers and guest logic
        cannot longer fiddle in it
 
      - uses the APIC ID segments to build topology bitmaps at registration
        time
 
      - provides a sane admission logic
 
      - allows to detect the crash kernel case, where CPU0 does not run on
        the real BSP, automatically. This is required to prevent sending
        INIT/SIPI sequences to the real BSP which would reset the whole
        machine. This was so far handled by a tedious command line
        parameter, which does not even work in nested crash scenarios.
 
      - Associates CPU number after the enumeration completed and prevents
        the late registration of APICs, which was somehow tolerated before.
 
   - Converting all parsers and guest enumeration mechanisms over to the
     new interfaces.
 
     This allows to get rid of all global variable tweaking from the parsers
     and enumeration mechanisms and sanitizes the XEN[PV] handling so it can
     use CPUID evaluation for the first time.
 
   - Mopping up existing sins by taking the information from the APIC ID
     segment bitmaps.
 
     This evaluates hybrid systems correctly on the boot CPU and allows for
     cleanups and fixes in the related drivers, e.g. PERF.
 
 The series has been extensively tested and the minimal late fallout due to
 a broken ACPI/MADT table has been addressed by tightening the admission
 logic further.

ff887eb07c workqueue: Changes for v6.9
This cycle, a lot of workqueue changes including some that are significant
 and invasive.
 
 - During v6.6 cycle, unbound workqueues were updated so that they are more
   topology aware and flexible, which among other things improved workqueue
   behavior on modern multi-L3 CPUs. In the process, 636b927eba
   ("workqueue: Make unbound workqueues to use per-cpu pool_workqueues")
   switched unbound workqueues to use per-CPU frontend pool_workqueues as a
   part of increasing front-back mapping flexibility.
 
   An unwelcome side effect of this change was that this made max concurrency
   enforcement per-CPU blowing up the maximum number of allowed concurrent
   executions. I incorrectly assumed that this wouldn't cause practical
   problems as most unbound workqueue users are self-regulate max
   concurrency; however, there definitely are which don't (e.g. on IO paths)
   and the drastic increase in the allowed max concurrency led to noticeable
   perf regressions in some use cases.
 
   This is now addressed by separating out max concurrency enforcement to a
   separate struct - wq_node_nr_active - which makes @max_active consistently
   mean system-wide max concurrency regardless of the number of CPUs or
   (finally) NUMA nodes. This is a rather invasive and, in places, a bit
   clunky; however, the clunkiness rises from the the inherent requirement to
   handle the disagreement between the execution locality domain and max
   concurrency enforcement domain on some modern machines. See 5797b1c189
   ("workqueue: Implement system-wide nr_active enforcement for unbound
   workqueues") for more details.
 
 - BH workqueue support is added. They are similar to per-CPU workqueues but
   execute work items in the softirq context. This is expected to replace
   tasklet. However, currently, it's missing the ability to disable and
   enable work items which is needed to convert many tasklet users. To avoid
   crowding this merge window too much, this will be included in the next
   merge window. A separate pull request will be sent for the couple
   conversion patches that are currently pending.
 
 - Waiman plugged a long-standing hole in workqueue CPU isolation where
   ordered workqueues didn't follow wq_unbound_cpumask updates. Ordered
   workqueues now follow the same rules as other unbound workqueues.
 
 - More CPU isolation improvements: Juri fixed another deficit in workqueue
   isolation where unbound rescuers don't respect wq_unbound_cpumask.
   Leonardo fixed delayed_work timers firing on isolated CPUs.

8f8cd6c0a4 modules: wait do_free_init correctly
The synchronization here is to ensure the ordering of freeing of a module
init so that it happens before W+X checking.  It is worth noting it is not
that the freeing was not happening, it is just that our sanity checkers
raced against the permission checkers which assume init memory is already
gone.

Commit 1a7b7d9220 ("modules: Use vmalloc special flag") moved calling
do_free_init() into a global workqueue instead of relying on it being
called through call_rcu(..., do_free_init), which used to allowed us call
do_free_init() asynchronously after the end of a subsequent grace period. 
The move to a global workqueue broke the gaurantees for code which needed
to be sure the do_free_init() would complete with rcu_barrier().  To fix
this callers which used to rely on rcu_barrier() must now instead use
flush_work(&init_free_wq).

Without this fix, we still could encounter false positive reports in W+X
checking since the rcu_barrier() here can not ensure the ordering now.

Even worse, the rcu_barrier() can introduce significant delay.  Eric
Chanudet reported that the rcu_barrier introduces ~0.1s delay on a
PREEMPT_RT kernel.

  [    0.291444] Freeing unused kernel memory: 5568K
  [    0.402442] Run /sbin/init as init process

With this fix, the above delay can be eliminated.

pidfd: add pidfs
This moves pidfds from the anonymous inode infrastructure to a tiny
pseudo filesystem. This has been on my todo for quite a while as it will
unblock further work that we weren't able to do simply because of the
very justified limitations of anonymous inodes. Moving pidfds to a tiny
pseudo filesystem allows:

* statx() on pidfds becomes useful for the first time.
* pidfds can be compared simply via statx() and then comparing inode
  numbers.
* pidfds have unique inode numbers for the system lifetime.
* struct pid is now stashed in inode->i_private instead of
  file->private_data. This means it is now possible to introduce
  concepts that operate on a process once all file descriptors have been
  closed. A concrete example is kill-on-last-close.
* file->private_data is freed up for per-file options for pidfds.
* Each struct pid will refer to a different inode but the same struct
  pid will refer to the same inode if it's opened multiple times. In
  contrast to now where each struct pid refers to the same inode. Even
  if we were to move to anon_inode_create_getfile() which creates new
  inodes we'd still be associating the same struct pid with multiple
  different inodes.

The tiny pseudo filesystem is not visible anywhere in userspace exactly
like e.g., pipefs and sockfs. There's no lookup, there's no complex
inode operations, nothing. Dentries and inodes are always deleted when
the last pidfd is closed.

We allocate a new inode for each struct pid and we reuse that inode for
all pidfds. We use iget_locked() to find that inode again based on the
inode number which isn't recycled. We allocate a new dentry for each
pidfd that uses the same inode. That is similar to anonymous inodes
which reuse the same inode for thousands of dentries. For pidfds we're
talking way less than that. There usually won't be a lot of concurrent
openers of the same struct pid. They can probably often be counted on
two hands. I know that systemd does use separate pidfd for the same
struct pid for various complex process tracking issues. So I think with
that things actually become way simpler. Especially because we don't
have to care about lookup. Dentries and inodes continue to be always
deleted.

The code is entirely optional and fairly small. If it's not selected we
fallback to anonymous inodes. Heavily inspired by nsfs which uses a
similar stashing mechanism just for namespaces.

a5e8131a03 arm64, powerpc, riscv, s390, x86: ptdump: refactor CONFIG_DEBUG_WX
All architectures using the core ptdump functionality also implement
CONFIG_DEBUG_WX, and they all do it more or less the same way, with a
function called debug_checkwx() that is called by mark_rodata_ro(), which
is a substitute to ptdump_check_wx() when CONFIG_DEBUG_WX is set and a
no-op otherwise.

Refactor by centrally defining debug_checkwx() in linux/ptdump.h and call
debug_checkwx() immediately after calling mark_rodata_ro() instead of
calling it at the end of every mark_rodata_ro().

On x86_32, mark_rodata_ro() first checks __supported_pte_mask has _PAGE_NX
before calling debug_checkwx().  Now the check is inside the callee
ptdump_walk_pgd_level_checkwx().

On powerpc_64, mark_rodata_ro() bails out early before calling
ptdump_check_wx() when the MMU doesn't have KERNEL_RO feature.  The check
is now also done in ptdump_check_wx() as it is called outside
mark_rodata_ro().

bf52b1ac6a async: Use a dedicated unbound workqueue with raised min_active
Async can schedule a number of interdependent work items. However, since
5797b1c189 ("workqueue: Implement system-wide nr_active enforcement for
unbound workqueues"), unbound workqueues have separate min_active which sets
the number of interdependent work items that can be handled. This default
value is 8 which isn't sufficient for async and can lead to stalls during
resume from suspend in some cases.

Let's use a dedicated unbound workqueue with raised min_active.

8001f49394 proc: sysctl: prevent aliased sysctls from getting passed to init
The code that checks for unknown boot options is unaware of the sysctl
alias facility, which maps bootparams to sysctl values.  If a user sets
an old value that has a valid alias, a message about an invalid
parameter will be printed during boot, and the parameter will get passed
to init.  Fix by checking for the existence of aliased parameters in the
unknown boot parameter code.  If an alias exists, don't return an error
or pass the value to init.

2930155b2e workqueue: Initialize unbound CPU pods later in the boot
During boot, to initialize unbound CPU pods, wq_pod_init() was called from
workqueue_init(). This is early enough for NUMA nodes to be set up but
before SMP is brought up and CPU topology information is populated.

Workqueue is in the process of improving CPU locality for unbound workqueues
and will need access to topology information during pod init. This adds a
new init function workqueue_init_topology() which is called after CPU
topology information is available and replaces wq_pod_init().

As unbound CPU pods are now initialized after workqueues are activated, we
need to revisit the workqueues to apply the pod configuration. Workqueues
which are created before workqueue_init_topology() are set up so that they
always use the default worker pool. After pods are set up in
workqueue_init_topology(), wq_update_pod() is called on all existing
workqueues to update the pool associations accordingly.

Note that wq_update_pod_attrs_buf allocation is moved to
workqueue_init_early(). This isn't necessary right now but enables further
generalization of pod handling in the future.

This patch changes the initialization sequence but the end result should be
the same.

       debugging output.
     - Limit unreachable warnings to once per function
     - Add verbose option for disassembling affected functions
     - Include backtrace in verbose mode
     - Detect missing __noreturn annotations

9df9d2f047 init: Invoke arch_cpu_finalize_init() earlier
X86 is reworking the boot process so that initializations which are not
required during early boot can be moved into the late boot process and out
of the fragile and restricted initial boot phase.

arch_cpu_finalize_init() is the obvious place to do such initializations,
but arch_cpu_finalize_init() is invoked too late in start_kernel() e.g. for
initializing the FPU completely. fork_init() requires that the FPU is
initialized as the size of task_struct on X86 depends on the size of the
required FPU register buffer.

Fortunately none of the init calls between calibrate_delay() and
arch_cpu_finalize_init() is relevant for the functionality of
arch_cpu_finalize_init().

Invoke it right after calibrate_delay() where everything which is relevant
for arch_cpu_finalize_init() has been set up already.

No functional change intended.

7725acaa4f init: Provide arch_cpu_finalize_init()
check_bugs() has become a dumping ground for all sorts of activities to
finalize the CPU initialization before running the rest of the init code.

Most are empty, a few do actual bug checks, some do alternative patching
and some cobble a CPU advertisement string together....

Aside of that the current implementation requires duplicated function
declaration and mostly empty header files for them.

Provide a new function arch_cpu_finalize_init(). Provide a generic
declaration if CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_CPU_FINALIZE_INIT is selected and a stub
inline otherwise.

This requires a temporary #ifdef in start_kernel() which will be removed
along with check_bugs() once the architectures are converted over.
