Rename tools/vm to tools/mm for being more consistent with the code and
documentation directories, and won't be confused with virtual machines.

Although when a process terminates, the kernel will removes memory
associated with that process, It's neither good style nor proper design to
leave it to kernel.  This patch free allocated memory before process exit.

   David Hildenbrand

 - zram support for multiple compression streams from Sergey Senozhatsky

 - David Hildenbrand reworked the GUP code's R/O long-term pinning so
   that drivers no longer need to use the FOLL_FORCE workaround which
   didn't work very well anyway

 - Mel Gorman altered the page allocator so that local IRQs can remnain
   enabled during per-cpu page allocations

 - Vishal Moola removed the try_to_release_page() wrapper

 - Stefan Roesch added some per-BDI sysfs tunables which are used to
   prevent network block devices from dirtying excessive amounts of
   pagecache

 - David Hildenbrand did some cleanup and repair work on KSM COW
   breaking

 - Nhat Pham and Johannes Weiner have implemented writeback in zswap's
   zsmalloc backend

   file[map]_write_and_wait_range()

 - sparse-vmemmap changes for MIPS, LoongArch and NIOS2 from Feiyang
   Chen

 - Shiyang Ruan has done some work on fsdax, to make its reflink mode
   work better under xfstests. Better, but still not perfect

 - Christoph Hellwig has removed the .writepage() method from several
   filesystems. They only need .writepages()

 - Yosry Ahmed wrote a series which fixes the memcg reclaim target
   beancounting

 - David Hildenbrand has fixed some of our MM selftests for 32-bit
   machines

 - Many singleton patches, as usual

Pull slab updates from Vlastimil Babka:

 - SLOB deprecation and SLUB_TINY

   The SLOB allocator adds maintenance burden and stands in the way of
   API improvements [1]. Deprecate it by renaming the config option (to
   make users notice) to CONFIG_SLOB_DEPRECATED with updated help text.
   SLUB should be used instead as SLAB will be the next on the removal
   list.

   Based on reports from a riscv k210 board with 8MB RAM, add a
   CONFIG_SLUB_TINY option to minimize SLUB's memory usage at the
   expense of scalability. This has resolved the k210 regression [2] so
   in case there are no others (that wouldn't be resolvable by further
   tweaks to SLUB_TINY) plan is to remove SLOB in a few cycles.

   Existing defconfigs with CONFIG_SLOB are converted to
   CONFIG_SLUB_TINY.

 - kmalloc() slub_debug redzone improvements

   A series from Feng Tang that builds on the tracking or requested size
   for kmalloc() allocations (for caches with debugging enabled) added
   in 6.1, to make redzone checks consider the requested size and not
   the rounded up one, in order to catch more subtle buffer overruns.
   Includes new slub_kunit test.

 - struct slab fields reordering to accomodate larger rcu_head

   RCU folks would like to grow rcu_head with debugging options, which
   breaks current struct slab layout's assumptions, so reorganize it to
   make this possible.

 - Miscellaneous improvements/fixes:
     - __alloc_size checking compiler workaround (Kees Cook)
     - Optimize and cleanup SLUB's sysfs init (Rasmus Villemoes)
     - Make SLAB compatible with PROVE_RAW_LOCK_NESTING (Jiri Kosina)
     - Correct SLUB's percpu allocation estimates (Baoquan He)
     - Re-enableS LUB's run-time failslab sysfs control (Alexander Atanasov)
     - Make tools/vm/slabinfo more user friendly when not run as root (Rong Tao)
     - Dead code removal in SLUB (Hyeonggon Yoo)

<title>tools/vm/slabinfo-gnuplot: use "grep -E" instead of "egrep"</title>

<content type='text'>
The latest version of grep claims the egrep is now obsolete so the build
now contains warnings that look like:

	egrep: warning: egrep is obsolescent; using grep -E

fix this up by moving the related file to use "grep -E" instead.

  sed -i "s/egrep/grep -E/g" `grep egrep -rwl tools/vm`

Here are the steps to install the latest grep:

  wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/grep/grep-3.8.tar.gz
  tar xf grep-3.8.tar.gz
  cd grep-3.8 &amp;&amp; ./configure &amp;&amp; make
  sudo make install
  export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH

<title>tools/vm/slabinfo: indicates the cause of the EACCES error</title>

<id>urn:sha1:654058e67b9490a655d9a01e838168fb499f2aa3</id>
<content type='text'>
If you don't run slabinfo with a superuser, return 0 when read_slab_dir()
reads get_obj_and_str("slabs", &amp;t), because fopen() fails (sometimes
EACCES), causing slabcache() to return directly, without any error during
this time, we should tell the user about the EACCES problem instead of
running successfully($?=0) without any error printing.

 For example:
 $ ./slabinfo
 Permission denied, Try using superuser  &lt;== What this submission did
 $ sudo ./slabinfo

<title>tools/vm/page_owner_sort: fix -f option</title>

<id>urn:sha1:57eb60c04d2c7b0de91eac2bc5d0331f8fe72fd7</id>
<content type='text'>
The -f option is to filter out the information of blocks whose memory has
not been released, I noticed some blocks should not be filtered out.

Commit 9cc7e96aa846 ("mm/page_owner: record timestamp and pid") records
the allocation timestamp (ts_nsec) of all pages.

Commit 866b48526217 ("mm/page_owner: record the timestamp of all pages
during free") records the free timestamp (free_ts_nsec) of all pages. 
When the page is allocated for the first time, the initial value of
free_ts_nsec is 0, and the corresponding time will be obtained when the
page is released.  But during reallocation the free_ts_nsec will not reset
to 0 again.  In particular, when page migration occurs, these two
timestamps will be the same.

Now page_owner_sort removes all text blocks whose free_ts_nsec is not 0
when using -f option.  However, this way can only select pages allocated
for the first time.  If a freed page is reallocated, free_ts_nsec will be
less than ts_nsec; if page migration occurs, the two timestamps will be
equal.  These cases should be considered as pages are not released.

So I fix the function is_need() to keep text blocks that meet the above
two conditions when using -f option.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
 "Most of the MM queue. A few things are still pending.

  Liam's maple tree rework didn't make it. This has resulted in a few
  other minor patch series being held over for next time.

  Multi-gen LRU still isn't merged as we were waiting for mapletree to
  stabilize. The current plan is to merge MGLRU into -mm soon and to
  later reintroduce mapletree, with a view to hopefully getting both
  into 6.1-rc1.

  Summary:

   - The usual batches of cleanups from Baoquan He, Muchun Song, Miaohe
     Lin, Yang Shi, Anshuman Khandual and Mike Rapoport

   - Some kmemleak fixes from Patrick Wang and Waiman Long

   - DAMON updates from SeongJae Park

   - memcg debug/visibility work from Roman Gushchin

   - vmalloc speedup from Uladzislau Rezki

   - more folio conversion work from Matthew Wilcox

   - enhancements for coherent device memory mapping from Alex Sierra

   - addition of shared pages tracking and CoW support for fsdax, from
     Shiyang Ruan

   - hugetlb optimizations from Mike Kravetz

   - Mel Gorman has contributed some pagealloc changes to improve
     latency and realtime behaviour.

   - mprotect soft-dirty checking has been improved by Peter Xu

   - Many other singleton patches all over the place"
