Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton: - "powerpc/64s: do not re-activate batched TLB flush" makes arch_{enter|leave}_lazy_mmu_mode() nest properly (Alexander Gordeev) It adds a generic enter/leave layer and switches architectures to use it. Various hacks were removed in the process. - "zram: introduce compressed data writeback" implements data compression for zram writeback (Richard Chang and Sergey Senozhatsky) - "mm: folio_zero_user: clear page ranges" adds clearing of contiguous page ranges for hugepages. Large improvements during demand faulting are demonstrated (David Hildenbrand) - "memcg cleanups" tidies up some memcg code (Chen Ridong) - "mm/damon: introduce {,max_}nr_snapshots and tracepoint for damos stats" improves DAMOS stat's provided information, deterministic control, and readability (SeongJae Park) - "selftests/mm: hugetlb cgroup charging: robustness fixes" fixes a few issues in the hugetlb cgroup charging selftests (Li Wang) - "Fix va_high_addr_switch.sh test failure - again" addresses several issues in the va_high_addr_switch test (Chunyu Hu) - "mm/damon/tests/core-kunit: extend existing test scenarios" improves the KUnit test coverage for DAMON (Shu Anzai) - "mm/khugepaged: fix dirty page handling for MADV_COLLAPSE" fixes a glitch in khugepaged which was causing madvise(MADV_COLLAPSE) to transiently return -EAGAIN (Shivank Garg) - "arch, mm: consolidate hugetlb early reservation" reworks and consolidates a pile of straggly code related to reservation of hugetlb memory from bootmem and creation of CMA areas for hugetlb (Mike Rapoport) - "mm: clean up anon_vma implementation" cleans up the anon_vma implementation in various ways (Lorenzo Stoakes) - "tweaks for __alloc_pages_slowpath()" does a little streamlining of the page allocator's slowpath code (Vlastimil Babka) - "memcg: separate private and public ID namespaces" cleans up the memcg ID code and prevents the internal-only private IDs from being exposed to userspace (Shakeel Butt) - "mm: hugetlb: allocate frozen gigantic folio" cleans up the allocation of frozen folios and avoids some atomic refcount operations (Kefeng Wang) - "mm/damon: advance DAMOS-based LRU sorting" improves DAMOS's movement of memory betewwn the active and inactive LRUs and adds auto-tuning of the ratio-based quotas and of monitoring intervals (SeongJae Park) - "Support page table check on PowerPC" makes CONFIG_PAGE_TABLE_CHECK_ENFORCED work on powerpc (Andrew Donnellan) - "nodemask: align nodes_and{,not} with underlying bitmap ops" makes nodes_and() and nodes_andnot() propagate the return values from the underlying bit operations, enabling some cleanup in calling code (Yury Norov) - "mm/damon: hide kdamond and kdamond_lock from API callers" cleans up some DAMON internal interfaces (SeongJae Park) - "mm/khugepaged: cleanups and scan limit fix" does some cleanup work in khupaged and fixes a scan limit accounting issue (Shivank Garg) - "mm: balloon infrastructure cleanups" goes to town on the balloon infrastructure and its page migration function. Mainly cleanups, also some locking simplification (David Hildenbrand) - "mm/vmscan: add tracepoint and reason for kswapd_failures reset" adds additional tracepoints to the page reclaim code (Jiayuan Chen) - "Replace wq users and add WQ_PERCPU to alloc_workqueue() users" is part of Marco's kernel-wide migration from the legacy workqueue APIs over to the preferred unbound workqueues (Marco Crivellari) - "Various mm kselftests improvements/fixes" provides various unrelated improvements/fixes for the mm kselftests (Kevin Brodsky) - "mm: accelerate gigantic folio allocation" greatly speeds up gigantic folio allocation, mainly by avoiding unnecessary work in pfn_range_valid_contig() (Kefeng Wang) - "selftests/damon: improve leak detection and wss estimation reliability" improves the reliability of two of the DAMON selftests (SeongJae Park) - "mm/damon: cleanup kdamond, damon_call(), damos filter and DAMON_MIN_REGION" does some cleanup work in the core DAMON code (SeongJae Park) - "Docs/mm/damon: update intro, modules, maintainer profile, and misc" performs maintenance work on the DAMON documentation (SeongJae Park) - "mm: add and use vma_assert_stabilised() helper" refactors and cleans up the core VMA code. The main aim here is to be able to use the mmap write lock's lockdep state to perform various assertions regarding the locking which the VMA code requires (Lorenzo Stoakes) - "mm, swap: swap table phase II: unify swapin use" removes some old swap code (swap cache bypassing and swap synchronization) which wasn't working very well. Various other cleanups and simplifications were made. The end result is a 20% speedup in one benchmark (Kairui Song) - "enable PT_RECLAIM on more 64-bit architectures" makes PT_RECLAIM available on 64-bit alpha, loongarch, mips, parisc, and um. Various cleanups were performed along the way (Qi Zheng) * tag 'mm-stable-2026-02-11-19-22' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm: (325 commits) mm/memory: handle non-split locks correctly in zap_empty_pte_table() mm: move pte table reclaim code to memory.c mm: make PT_RECLAIM depends on MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE mm: convert __HAVE_ARCH_TLB_REMOVE_TABLE to CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_TLB_REMOVE_TABLE config um: mm: enable MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE parisc: mm: enable MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE mips: mm: enable MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE LoongArch: mm: enable MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE alpha: mm: enable MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE mm: change mm/pt_reclaim.c to use asm/tlb.h instead of asm-generic/tlb.h mm/damon/stat: remove __read_mostly from memory_idle_ms_percentiles zsmalloc: make common caches global mm: add SPDX id lines to some mm source files mm/zswap: use %pe to print error pointers mm/vmscan: use %pe to print error pointers mm/readahead: fix typo in comment mm: khugepaged: fix NR_FILE_PAGES and NR_SHMEM in collapse_file() mm: refactor vma_map_pages to use vm_insert_pages mm/damon: unify address range representation with damon_addr_range mm/cma: replace snprintf with strscpy in cma_new_area ...

x86/mm: simplify clear_page_*

2026-01-21T03:24:40+00:00

clear_page_rep() and clear_page_erms() are wrappers around "REP; STOS" variations. Inlining gets rid of an unnecessary CALL/RET (which isn't free when using RETHUNK speculative execution mitigations.) Fixup and rename clear_page_orig() to adapt to the changed calling convention. Also add a comment from Dave Hansen detailing various clearing mechanisms used in clear_page().

x86/lib: Inline csum_ipv6_magic()

2026-01-05T18:14:05+00:00

Inline this small helper. It has been observed to consume up to 0.75%, which is significant for such a small function. This should reduce register pressure, as saddr and daddr are often back to back in memory. For instance code inlined in tcp6_gro_receive() will look like: 55a: 48 03 73 28 add 0x28(%rbx),%rsi 55e: 8b 43 70 mov 0x70(%rbx),%eax 561: 29 f8 sub %edi,%eax 563: 0f c8 bswap %eax 565: 89 c0 mov %eax,%eax 567: 48 05 00 06 00 00 add $0x600,%rax 56d: 48 03 46 08 add 0x8(%rsi),%rax 571: 48 13 46 10 adc 0x10(%rsi),%rax 575: 48 13 46 18 adc 0x18(%rsi),%rax 579: 48 13 46 20 adc 0x20(%rsi),%rax 57d: 48 83 d0 00 adc $0x0,%rax 581: 48 89 c6 mov %rax,%rsi 584: 48 c1 ee 20 shr $0x20,%rsi 588: 01 f0 add %esi,%eax 58a: 83 d0 00 adc $0x0,%eax 58d: 89 c6 mov %eax,%esi 58f: 66 31 c0 xor %ax,%ax Surprisingly, this inlining does not seem to bloat kernel text size.

x86: Restrict KVM-induced symbol exports to KVM modules where obvious/possible

2025-11-12T23:29:38+00:00

Extend KVM's export macro framework to provide EXPORT_SYMBOL_FOR_KVM(), and use the helper macro to export symbols for KVM throughout x86 if and only if KVM will build one or more modules, and only for those modules. To avoid unnecessary exports when CONFIG_KVM=m but kvm.ko will not be built (because no vendor modules are selected), let arch code #define EXPORT_SYMBOL_FOR_KVM to suppress/override the exports. Note, the set of symbols to restrict to KVM was generated by manual search and audit; any "misses" are due to human error, not some grand plan.
