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.

Now that powerpc no longer uses arch_unmap() to handle VDSO unmapping,
there are no meaningful implementions left.  Drop support for it entirely,
and update comments which refer to it.

the VDSO.  That will make it possible to remove the arch_unmap() hook
entirely in a subsequent patch.

The generic implementation of this function isn't really generic (Hash
is not implemented). Unfortunately, the runtime warnings cannot be
replaced with BUILD_BUG's, so it seems safer not to provide a stub in
the first place.

<title>KVM: PPC: Book3s: Retire H_PUT_TCE/etc real mode handlers</title>

<id>urn:sha1:cad32d9d42e8e6a659786f8a730b221a9fbee227</id>
<content type='text'>
LoPAPR defines guest visible IOMMU with hypercalls to use it -
H_PUT_TCE/etc. Implemented first on POWER7 where hypercalls would trap
in the KVM in the real mode (with MMU off). The problem with the real mode
is some memory is not available and some API usage crashed the host but
enabling MMU was an expensive operation.

The problems with the real mode handlers are:
1. Occasionally these cannot complete the request so the code is
copied+modified to work in the virtual mode, very little is shared;
2. The real mode handlers have to be linked into vmlinux to work;
3. An exception in real mode immediately reboots the machine.

If the small DMA window is used, the real mode handlers bring better
performance. However since POWER8, there has always been a bigger DMA
window which VMs use to map the entire VM memory to avoid calling
H_PUT_TCE. Such 1:1 mapping happens once and uses H_PUT_TCE_INDIRECT
(a bulk version of H_PUT_TCE) which virtual mode handler is even closer
to its real mode version.

On POWER9 hypercalls trap straight to the virtual mode so the real mode
handlers never execute on POWER9 and later CPUs.

So with the current use of the DMA windows and MMU improvements in
POWER9 and later, there is no point in duplicating the code.
The 32bit passed through devices may slow down but we do not have many
of these in practice. For example, with this applied, a 1Gbit ethernet
adapter still demostrates above 800Mbit/s of actual throughput.

This removes the real mode handlers from KVM and related code from
the powernv platform.

This updates the list of implemented hcalls in KVM-HV as the realmode
handlers are removed.

This changes ABI - kvmppc_h_get_tce() moves to the KVM module and
kvmppc_find_table() is static now.

Some functions defined in 'arch/powerpc/mm' are deserving of an
`__init` macro attribute. These functions are only called by other
initialization functions and therefore should inherit the attribute.
Also, change function declarations in header files to include `__init`.
