Instead of always doing the safe variants for reading and writing MSRs
in Xen PV guests, make the behavior controllable via Kconfig option
and a boot parameter.
The default will be the current behavior, which is to always use the
safe variant.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
- Yu Zhao's Multi-Gen LRU patches are here. They've been under test in
linux-next for a couple of months without, to my knowledge, any
negative reports (or any positive ones, come to that).
- Also the Maple Tree from Liam Howlett. An overlapping range-based
tree for vmas. It it apparently slightly more efficient in its own
right, but is mainly targeted at enabling work to reduce mmap_lock
contention.
Liam has identified a number of other tree users in the kernel which
could be beneficially onverted to mapletrees.
Yu Zhao has identified a hard-to-hit but "easy to fix" lockdep splat
at [1]. This has yet to be addressed due to Liam's unfortunately
timed vacation. He is now back and we'll get this fixed up.
- Dmitry Vyukov introduces KMSAN: the Kernel Memory Sanitizer. It uses
clang-generated instrumentation to detect used-unintialized bugs down
to the single bit level.
KMSAN keeps finding bugs. New ones, as well as the legacy ones.
- Yang Shi adds a userspace mechanism (madvise) to induce a collapse of
memory into THPs.
- Zach O'Keefe has expanded Yang Shi's madvise(MADV_COLLAPSE) to
support file/shmem-backed pages.
- userfaultfd updates from Axel Rasmussen
- zsmalloc cleanups from Alexey Romanov
- cleanups from Miaohe Lin: vmscan, hugetlb_cgroup, hugetlb and
memory-failure
- Huang Ying adds enhancements to NUMA balancing memory tiering mode's
page promotion, with a new way of detecting hot pages.
- memcg updates from Shakeel Butt: charging optimizations and reduced
memory consumption.
- memcg cleanups from Kairui Song.
- memcg fixes and cleanups from Johannes Weiner.
- Vishal Moola provides more folio conversions
- Zhang Yi removed ll_rw_block() :(
- migration enhancements from Peter Xu
- migration error-path bugfixes from Huang Ying
- Aneesh Kumar added ability for a device driver to alter the memory
tiering promotion paths. For optimizations by PMEM drivers, DRM
drivers, etc.
- vma merging improvements from Jakub Matěn.
- NUMA hinting cleanups from David Hildenbrand.
- xu xin added aditional userspace visibility into KSM merging
activity.
- THP & KSM code consolidation from Qi Zheng.
- more folio work from Matthew Wilcox.
- KASAN updates from Andrey Konovalov.
- DAMON cleanups from Kaixu Xia.
- DAMON work from SeongJae Park: fixes, cleanups.

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
"The first batch of KVM patches, mostly covering x86.
ARM:
- Account stage2 page table allocations in memory stats
x86:
- Account EPT/NPT arm64 page table allocations in memory stats
- Tracepoint cleanups/fixes for nested VM-Enter and emulated MSR
accesses
- Drop eVMCS controls filtering for KVM on Hyper-V, all known
versions of Hyper-V now support eVMCS fields associated with
features that are enumerated to the guest
- Use KVM's sanitized VMCS config as the basis for the values of
nested VMX capabilities MSRs
- A myriad event/exception fixes and cleanups. Most notably, pending
exceptions morph into VM-Exits earlier, as soon as the exception is
queued, instead of waiting until the next vmentry. This fixed a
longstanding issue where the exceptions would incorrecly become
double-faults instead of triggering a vmexit; the common case of
page-fault vmexits had a special workaround, but now it's fixed for
good
- A handful of fixes for memory leaks in error paths
- Cleanups for VMREAD trampoline and VMX's VM-Exit assembly flow
- Never write to memory from non-sleepable kvm_vcpu_check_block()
- Selftests refinements and cleanups
- Misc typo cleanups

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
"Core:
- Introduce and use a single page frag cache for allocating small skb
heads, clawing back the 10-20% performance regression in UDP flood
test from previous fixes.
- Run packets which already went thru HW coalescing thru SW GRO. This
significantly improves TCP segment coalescing and simplifies
deployments as different workloads benefit from HW or SW GRO.
- Shrink the size of the base zero-copy send structure.
- Move TCP init under a new slow / sleepable version of DO_ONCE().
BPF:
- Add BPF-specific, any-context-safe memory allocator.
- Add helpers/kfuncs for PKCS#7 signature verification from BPF
programs.
- Define a new map type and related helpers for user space -> kernel
communication over a ring buffer (BPF_MAP_TYPE_USER_RINGBUF).
- Allow targeting BPF iterators to loop through resources of one
task/thread.
- Add ability to call selected destructive functions. Expose
crash_kexec() to allow BPF to trigger a kernel dump. Use
CAP_SYS_BOOT check on the loading process to judge permissions.
- Enable BPF to collect custom hierarchical cgroup stats efficiently
by integrating with the rstat framework.
- Support struct arguments for trampoline based programs. Only
structs with size <= 16B and x86 are supported.

- TCPv6: send consistent autoflowlabel in SYN_RECV state and RST
packets.
- TCP: introduce optional per-netns connection hash table to allow
better isolation between namespaces (opt-in, at the cost of memory
and cache pressure).

- Remove DECnet support.
Driver API:
- Allow selecting the conduit interface used by each port in DSA
switches, at runtime.
- Ethernet Power Sourcing Equipment and Power Device support.

traffic class max frame size for time-based packet schedules.
- Support PHY rate matching - adapting between differing host-side
and link-side speeds.
- Introduce QUSGMII PHY mode and 1000BASE-KX interface mode.
- Validate OF (device tree) nodes for DSA shared ports; make
phylink-related properties mandatory on DSA and CPU ports.
Enforcing more uniformity should allow transitioning to phylink.
- Require that flash component name used during update matches one of
the components for which version is reported by info_get().
- Remove "weight" argument from driver-facing NAPI API as much as
possible. It's one of those magic knobs which seemed like a good
idea at the time but is too indirect to use in practice.

Since 2d1c498072de ("mm: memcontrol: make swap tracking an integral part

option anymore, it just means CONFIG_MEMCG && CONFIG_SWAP.
Update the sites accordingly and drop the symbol.
[ While touching the docs, remove two references to CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM,
which hasn't been a user-visible symbol for over half a decade. ]

The swapaccounting= commandline option already does very little today. To
close a trivial containment failure case, the swap ownership tracking part
of the swap controller has recently become mandatory (see commit
2d1c498072de ("mm: memcontrol: make swap tracking an integral part of
memory control") for details), which makes up the majority of the work
during swapout, swapin, and the swap slot map.
The only thing left under this flag is the page_counter operations and the
visibility of the swap control files in the first place, which are rather
meager savings. There also aren't many scenarios, if any, where
controlling the memory of a cgroup while allowing it unlimited access to a
global swap space is a workable resource isolation strategy.
On the other hand, there have been several bugs and confusion around the
many possible swap controller states (cgroup1 vs cgroup2 behavior, memory
accounting without swap accounting, memcg runtime disabled).
This puts the maintenance overhead of retaining the toggle above its
practical benefits. Deprecate it.

The main benefit of THPs are that they can be mapped at the pmd level,
increasing the likelihood of TLB hit and spending less cycles in page
table walks. pte-mapped hugepages - that is - hugepage-aligned compound
pages of order HPAGE_PMD_ORDER mapped by ptes - although being contiguous
in physical memory, don't have this advantage. In fact, one could argue
they are detrimental to system performance overall since they occupy a
precious hugepage-aligned/sized region of physical memory that could
otherwise be used more effectively. Additionally, pte-mapped hugepages
can be the cheapest memory to collapse for khugepaged since no new
hugepage allocation or copying of memory contents is necessary - we only
need to update the mapping page tables.
In the anonymous collapse path, we are able to collapse pte-mapped
hugepages (albeit, perhaps suboptimally), but the file/shmem path makes no
effort when compound pages (of any order) are encountered.
Identify pte-mapped hugepages in the file/shmem collapse path. The
final step of which makes a racy check of the value of the pmd to
ensure it maps a pte table. This should be fine, since races that
result in false-positive (i.e. attempt collapse even though we
shouldn't) will fail later in collapse_pte_mapped_thp() once we
actually lock mmap_lock and reinspect the pmd value. Races that result
in false-negatives (i.e. where we decide to not attempt collapse, but
should have) shouldn't be an issue, since in the worst case, we do
nothing - which is what we've done up to this point. We make a similar
check in retract_page_tables(). If we do think we've found a
pte-mapped hugepgae in khugepaged context, attempt to update page
tables mapping this hugepage.
Note that these collapses still count towards the
/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/khugepaged/pages_collapsed counter,
and if the pte-mapped hugepage was also mapped into multiple process'
address spaces, could be incremented for each page table update. Since we
increment the counter when a pte-mapped hugepage is successfully added to
the list of to-collapse pte-mapped THPs, it's possible that we never
actually update the page table either. This is different from how
file/shmem pages_collapsed accounting works today where only a successful
page cache update is counted (it's also possible here that no page tables
are actually changed). Though it incurs some slop, this is preferred to
either not accounting for the event at all, or plumbing through data in
struct mm_slot on whether to account for the collapse or not.
Also note that work still needs to be done to support arbitrary compound
pages, and that this should all be converted to using folios.

A user who reads THP_ZERO_PAGE_ALLOC may be more concerned about the huge
zero pages that are really allocated for thp. It is misleading to
increase THP_ZERO_PAGE_ALLOC twice if two threads call get_huge_zero_page
concurrently. Don't increase the value if the huge page is not really
used.
Update Documentation/admin-guide/mm/transhuge.rst to suit.

Commit b18402726bd1 ("Docs/admin-guide/mm/damon/usage: document DAMON
sysfs interface") announced the DAMON debugfs interface deprecation plan,
but it is not so aggressively announced. As the deprecation time is
coming, this commit makes the announce more easy to be found by adding the
note at the beginning of the DAMON debugfs interface usage document.

debugfs
'Getting Started' document of DAMON says DAMON user-space tool, damo[1],
is using DAMON debugfs interface, and therefore it needs to ensure debugfs
is mounted. However, the latest version of the tool is using DAMON sysfs
interface. Moreover, DAMON debugfs interface is going to be deprecated as
announced by commit b18402726bd1 ("Docs/admin-guide/mm/damon/usage:
document DAMON sysfs interface").
This commit therefore update the document to tell readers about DAMON
sysfs interface dependency instead and never mention about debugfs
interface, which will be deprecated.

The title of the DAMON document for admin-guide, 'Monitoring Data
Accesses', could confuse readers in some ways. First of all, DAMON is not
the only single way for data access monitoring. And the document is for
not only the data access monitoring but also data access pattern based
memory management optimizations (DAMOS). This commit updates the title to
'DAMON: Data Access MONitor', which more explicitly explains what the
document describes.

This patch adds the kunit.enable module parameter that will need to be
set to true in addition to KUNIT being enabled for KUnit tests to run.
The default value is true giving backwards compatibility. However, for
the production+testing use case the new config option
KUNIT_DEFAULT_ENABLED can be set to N requiring the tester to opt-in
by passing kunit.enable=1 to the kernel.

Because https://01.org/linux-acpi web site has become permanently
inaccessible, the "Overriding DSDT" document in the kernel tree
pointing to it as the main source of information is useless (and
the config option name mentioned by it is incorrect), so drop it

The current section 'If something goes wrong' makes a number of suggestions
for debugging, bug hunting and reporting issues, which are quite briefly
described in that section.
However, the suggestions are also well covered in other kernel
documentation or sometimes simply outdated. Here, each suggestion in that
section is summarized, and then followed with its assessment, and the
derived action for each suggestion:
- use MAINTAINERS and mailing list: covered in 'Reporting issues',
summarized in the short guide, detailed in its further section.
Reporting issues even provides some specific examples that guides
readers well through the needed steps. Refer to 'Reporting issues'.
- contact Linus Torvalds: probably outdated as currently described.
nevertheless covered in 'Reporting issues'. Reporting issues points out
to contact the relevant kernel maintainers first, and after some
patience and failed attempts with those maintainers, contacting Linus
Torvalds might be okay. Refer to 'Reporting issues'.
- tell what kernel, how to duplicate, the setup, if the problem is new
or old and when did you notice: covered in 'Reporting issues',
especially in Step-by-step guide how to report issues to the kernel
maintainers. Refer to 'Reporting issues'.
- duplicate kernel bug reports exactly: covered in 'Reporting issues',
especially in Write and send the report. Refer to 'Reporting issues'.
- read 'Bug hunting': keep this reference. Refer to 'Bug hunting'.
- compile the kernel with CONFIG_KALLSYMS: covered in 'Reporting issues',
especially in Decode failure messages. Refer to 'Reporting issues'.
- alternatively, use ksymoops: ksymoops at the mentioned URL seems not to
be maintained anymore. It was released roughly once a year until
version 2.4.11 in 2005, but has not seen a new release since then. The
information in ./scripts/ksymoops/README is from 1999, and does not
give more insight on its actual maintenance state either. Ksymoops is
mentioned as system utility in changes.rst, but also not recommended
there. Drop the explanation on using ksymoops.
- alternatively, lookup dump manually with the EIP and nm to determine
the function in which the kernel crashes: this method seems already a
quite advanced and low-level debugging method. Even all the further
references on bug hunting and debugging do not mention it. Drop this
alternative method and limit mentioning methods explained in the other
existing kernel documentation.
- read 'Reporting issues': keep this reference.
Refer to 'Reporting issues'.
- use gdb for debugging: some specific details, e.g., edit
arch/x86/Makefile, are probably outdated or limited to one (historic
important) setup. Using gdb is covered in 'Bug hunting', 'Debugging
kernel and modules via gdb' and 'Using kgdb, kdb and the kernel
debugger internals'. Refer to those three documents.
Overall, it is sufficient to refer to reporting-issues.rst,
bug-hunting.rst, gdb-kernel-debugging.rst and kgdb.rst and this way cover
the existing suggestions.
'Reporting issues' is quite new and probably up to date. 'Bug hunting',
'Debugging kernel and modules via gdb' and 'Using kgdb, kdb and the kernel
debugger internals' might need some revisit and update, but they are
generally in an acceptable state for referring to them.
Replace the existing suggestions by reference to other existing kernel
documentation covering those suggestions---partly even nicely summarized
and then explained in greater detail.

Running a.out user programs with the latest kernel release is a very rare
and uncommon use case nowadays. The support of a.out user programs is only
remaining for the alpha architecture and is not defined and activated in
the architecture's Kconfig (so even the activation of this support requires
to modify the Kconfig file and not just kernel build configuration).
The discussion on a.out support in 2019 (see Link) shows that the support
of a.out user programs is just remaining for a special corner case from
some (alpha architecture) users.
There is no need to point out and mention this special feature to the
general audience of kernel users. Delete the reference to this historic and
special feature.

In commit 2f1ee0913ce5 ("Revert "mm: use early_pfn_to_nid in
page_ext_init""), we call page_ext_init() after page_alloc_init_late() to
avoid some panic problem. It seems that we cannot track early page
allocations in current kernel even if page structure has been initialized
early.
This patch introduces a new boot parameter 'early_page_ext' to resolve
this problem. If we pass it to the kernel, page_ext_init() will be moved
up and the feature 'deferred initialization of struct pages' will be
disabled to initialize the page allocator early and prevent the panic
problem above. It can help us to catch early page allocations. This is
useful especially when we find that the free memory value is not the same
right after different kernel booting.

In NUMA balancing memory tiering mode, if there are hot pages in slow
memory node and cold pages in fast memory node, we need to promote/demote
hot/cold pages between the fast and cold memory nodes.
A choice is to promote/demote as fast as possible. But the CPU cycles and
memory bandwidth consumed by the high promoting/demoting throughput will
hurt the latency of some workload because of accessing inflating and slow
memory bandwidth contention.
A way to resolve this issue is to restrict the max promoting/demoting
throughput. It will take longer to finish the promoting/demoting. But
the workload latency will be better. This is implemented in this patch as
the page promotion rate limit mechanism.
The number of the candidate pages to be promoted to the fast memory node
via NUMA balancing is counted, if the count exceeds the limit specified by
the users, the NUMA balancing promotion will be stopped until the next
second.
A new sysctl knob kernel.numa_balancing_promote_rate_limit_MBps is added
for the users to specify the limit.

Currently only 12 characters of the cma name is being used as the debug
directories where as the cma name can be of length CMA_MAX_NAME(=64)
characters. One side problem with this is having 2 cma's with first
common 12 characters would end up in trying to create directories with
same name and fails with -EEXIST thus can limit cma debug functionality.
The 'cma-' prefix is used initially where cma areas don't have any names
and are represented by simple integer values. Since now each cma would be
having its own name, drop 'cma-' prefix for the cma debug directories as
they are clearly evident that they are for cma debug through creating them
in /sys/kernel/debug/cma/ path.

mitigation individually
In our environment, it was found that the mitigation BHB has a great
impact on the benchmark performance. For example, in the lmbench test,
the "process fork && exit" test performance drops by 20%.
So it is necessary to have the ability to turn off the mitigation
individually through cmdline, thus avoiding having to compile the
kernel by adjusting the config.

PSI accounts stalls for each cgroup separately and aggregates it
at each level of the hierarchy. This may cause non-negligible overhead
for some workloads when under deep level of the hierarchy.
commit 3958e2d0c34e ("cgroup: make per-cgroup pressure stall tracking configurable")
make PSI to skip per-cgroup stall accounting, only account system-wide
to avoid this each level overhead.
But for our use case, we also want leaf cgroup PSI stats accounted for
userspace adjustment on that cgroup, apart from only system-wide adjustment.
So this patch introduce a per-cgroup PSI accounting disable/re-enable
interface "cgroup.pressure", which is a read-write single value file that
allowed values are "0" and "1", the defaults is "1" so per-cgroup
PSI stats is enabled by default.
Implementation details:
It should be relatively straight-forward to disable and re-enable
state aggregation, time tracking, averaging on a per-cgroup level,
if we can live with losing history from while it was disabled.
I.e. the avgs will restart from 0, total= will have gaps.
But it's hard or complex to stop/restart groupc->tasks[] updates,
which is not implemented in this patch. So we always update
groupc->tasks[] and PSI_ONCPU bit in psi_group_change() even when
the cgroup PSI stats is disabled.
