Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
"As usual, many cleanups. The below blurbiage describes 42 patchsets.
21 of those are partially or fully cleanup work. "cleans up",
"cleanup", "maintainability", "rationalizes", etc.
I never knew the MM code was so dirty.
"mm: ksm: prevent KSM from breaking merging of new VMAs" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
addresses an issue with KSM's PR_SET_MEMORY_MERGE mode: newly
mapped VMAs were not eligible for merging with existing adjacent
VMAs.
"mm/damon: introduce DAMON_STAT for simple and practical access monitoring" (SeongJae Park)
adds a new kernel module which simplifies the setup and usage of
DAMON in production environments.
"stop passing a writeback_control to swap/shmem writeout" (Christoph Hellwig)
is a cleanup to the writeback code which removes a couple of
pointers from struct writeback_control.
"drivers/base/node.c: optimization and cleanups" (Donet Tom)
contains largely uncorrelated cleanups to the NUMA node setup and
management code.
"mm: userfaultfd: assorted fixes and cleanups" (Tal Zussman)
does some maintenance work on the userfaultfd code.
"Readahead tweaks for larger folios" (Ryan Roberts)
implements some tuneups for pagecache readahead when it is reading
into order>0 folios.
"selftests/mm: Tweaks to the cow test" (Mark Brown)
provides some cleanups and consistency improvements to the
selftests code.
"Optimize mremap() for large folios" (Dev Jain)
does that. A 37% reduction in execution time was measured in a
memset+mremap+munmap microbenchmark.
"Remove zero_user()" (Matthew Wilcox)
expunges zero_user() in favor of the more modern memzero_page().
"mm/huge_memory: vmf_insert_folio_*() and vmf_insert_pfn_pud() fixes" (David Hildenbrand)
addresses some warts which David noticed in the huge page code.
These were not known to be causing any issues at this time.
"mm/damon: use alloc_migrate_target() for DAMOS_MIGRATE_{HOT,COLD" (SeongJae Park)
provides some cleanup and consolidation work in DAMON.
"use vm_flags_t consistently" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
uses vm_flags_t in places where we were inappropriately using other
types.
"mm/memfd: Reserve hugetlb folios before allocation" (Vivek Kasireddy)
increases the reliability of large page allocation in the memfd
code.
"mm: Remove pXX_devmap page table bit and pfn_t type" (Alistair Popple)
removes several now-unneeded PFN_* flags.
"mm/damon: decouple sysfs from core" (SeongJae Park)
implememnts some cleanup and maintainability work in the DAMON
sysfs layer.
"madvise cleanup" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
does quite a lot of cleanup/maintenance work in the madvise() code.
"madvise anon_name cleanups" (Vlastimil Babka)
provides additional cleanups on top or Lorenzo's effort.
"Implement numa node notifier" (Oscar Salvador)
creates a standalone notifier for NUMA node memory state changes.
Previously these were lumped under the more general memory
on/offline notifier.
"Make MIGRATE_ISOLATE a standalone bit" (Zi Yan)
cleans up the pageblock isolation code and fixes a potential issue
which doesn't seem to cause any problems in practice.
"selftests/damon: add python and drgn based DAMON sysfs functionality tests" (SeongJae Park)
adds additional drgn- and python-based DAMON selftests which are
more comprehensive than the existing selftest suite.
"Misc rework on hugetlb faulting path" (Oscar Salvador)
fixes a rather obscure deadlock in the hugetlb fault code and
follows that fix with a series of cleanups.
"cma: factor out allocation logic from __cma_declare_contiguous_nid" (Mike Rapoport)
rationalizes and cleans up the highmem-specific code in the CMA
allocator.
"mm/migration: rework movable_ops page migration (part 1)" (David Hildenbrand)
provides cleanups and future-preparedness to the migration code.
"mm/damon: add trace events for auto-tuned monitoring intervals and DAMOS quota" (SeongJae Park)
adds some tracepoints to some DAMON auto-tuning code.
"mm/damon: fix misc bugs in DAMON modules" (SeongJae Park)
does that.
"mm/damon: misc cleanups" (SeongJae Park)
also does what it claims.
"mm: folio_pte_batch() improvements" (David Hildenbrand)
cleans up the large folio PTE batching code.
"mm/damon/vaddr: Allow interleaving in migrate_{hot,cold} actions" (SeongJae Park)
facilitates dynamic alteration of DAMON's inter-node allocation
policy.
"Remove unmap_and_put_page()" (Vishal Moola)
provides a couple of page->folio conversions.
"mm: per-node proactive reclaim" (Davidlohr Bueso)
implements a per-node control of proactive reclaim - beyond the
current memcg-based implementation.
"mm/damon: remove damon_callback" (SeongJae Park)
replaces the damon_callback interface with a more general and
powerful damon_call()+damos_walk() interface.
"mm/mremap: permit mremap() move of multiple VMAs" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
implements a number of mremap cleanups (of course) in preparation
for adding new mremap() functionality: newly permit the remapping
of multiple VMAs when the user is specifying MREMAP_FIXED. It still
excludes some specialized situations where this cannot be performed
reliably.
"drop hugetlb_free_pgd_range()" (Anthony Yznaga)
switches some sparc hugetlb code over to the generic version and
removes the thus-unneeded hugetlb_free_pgd_range().
"mm/damon/sysfs: support periodic and automated stats update" (SeongJae Park)
augments the present userspace-requested update of DAMON sysfs
monitoring files. Automatic update is now provided, along with a
tunable to control the update interval.
"Some randome fixes and cleanups to swapfile" (Kemeng Shi)
does what is claims.
"mm: introduce snapshot_page" (Luiz Capitulino and David Hildenbrand)
provides (and uses) a means by which debug-style functions can grab
a copy of a pageframe and inspect it locklessly without tripping
over the races inherent in operating on the live pageframe
directly.
"use per-vma locks for /proc/pid/maps reads" (Suren Baghdasaryan)
addresses the large contention issues which can be triggered by
reads from that procfs file. Latencies are reduced by more than
half in some situations. The series also introduces several new
selftests for the /proc/pid/maps interface.
"__folio_split() clean up" (Zi Yan)
cleans up __folio_split()!
"Optimize mprotect() for large folios" (Dev Jain)
provides some quite large (>3x) speedups to mprotect() when dealing
with large folios.
"selftests/mm: reuse FORCE_READ to replace "asm volatile("" : "+r" (XXX));" and some cleanup" (wang lian)
does some cleanup work in the selftests code.
"tools/testing: expand mremap testing" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
extends the mremap() selftest in several ways, including adding
more checking of Lorenzo's recently added "permit mremap() move of
multiple VMAs" feature.
"selftests/damon/sysfs.py: test all parameters" (SeongJae Park)
extends the DAMON sysfs interface selftest so that it tests all
possible user-requested parameters. Rather than the present minimal
subset"

Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
"It has been a relatively busy cycle for docs, especially the build
system:
- The Perl kernel-doc script was added to 2.3.52pre1 just after the
turn of the millennium. Over the following 25 years, it accumulated
a vast amount of cruft, all in a language few people want to deal
with anymore. Mauro's Python replacement in 6.16 faithfully
reproduced all of the cruft in the hope of avoiding regressions.
Now that we have a more reasonable code base, though, we can work
on cleaning it up; many of the changes this time around are toward
that end.
- A reorganization of the ext4 docs into the usual TOC format.
- Various Chinese translations and updates.
- A new script from Mauro to help with docs-build testing.
- A new document for linked lists
- A sweep through MAINTAINERS fixing broken GitHub git:// repository
links.
...and lots of fixes and updates"

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace
Pull ftrace updates from Steven Rostedt:
- Keep track of when fgraph_ops are registered or not
Keep accounting of when fgraph_ops are registered as if a fgraph_ops
is registered twice it can mess up the accounting and it will not
work as expected later. Trigger a warning if something registers it
twice as to catch bugs before they are found by things just not
working as expected.
- Make DYNAMIC_FTRACE always enabled for architectures that support it
As static ftrace (where all functions are always traced) is very
expensive and only exists to help architectures support ftrace, do
not make it an option. As soon as an architecture supports
DYNAMIC_FTRACE make it use it. This simplifies the code.
- Remove redundant config HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT_RECORD
The CONFIG_HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT was added to help simplify the
DYNAMIC_FTRACE work, but now every architecture that implements
DYNAMIC_FTRACE also has HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT set too, making it
redundant with the HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE.
- Make pid_ptr string size match the comment
In print_graph_proc() the pid_ptr string is of size 11, but the
comment says /* sign + log10(MAX_INT) + '\0' */ which is actually 12.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sysctl/sysctl
Pull sysctl updates from Joel Granados:
- Move sysctls out of the kern_table array
This is the final move of ctl_tables into their respective
subsystems. Only 5 (out of the original 50) will remain in
kernel/sysctl.c file; these handle either sysctl or common arch
variables.
By decentralizing sysctl registrations, subsystem maintainers regain
control over their sysctl interfaces, improving maintainability and
reducing the likelihood of merge conflicts.
- docs: Remove false positives from check-sysctl-docs
Stopped falsely identifying sysctls as undocumented or unimplemented
in the check-sysctl-docs script. This script can now be used to
automatically identify if documentation is missing.

Certain targets disable kstack_erase by filtering out KSTACK_ERASE_CFLAGS
rather than adding DISABLE_KSTACK_ERASE. The renaming to kstack_erase
missed the CFLAGS export, which broke those build targets (e.g. x86

The new tests are fairly comprehensive: more comprehensive than the

techniques to check for the types of implementation bugs that tend to
occur in the real world, rather than just naively checking some test
vectors. (Interestingly, poly1305_kunit found a bug in QEMU)

Pull fileattr updates from Christian Brauner:
"This introduces the new file_getattr() and file_setattr() system calls
after lengthy discussions.
Both system calls serve as successors and extensible companions to
the FS_IOC_FSGETXATTR and FS_IOC_FSSETXATTR system calls which have
started to show their age in addition to being named in a way that
makes it easy to conflate them with extended attribute related
operations.
These syscalls allow userspace to set filesystem inode attributes on
special files. One of the usage examples is the XFS quota projects.
XFS has project quotas which could be attached to a directory. All new
inodes in these directories inherit project ID set on parent
directory.
The project is created from userspace by opening and calling
FS_IOC_FSSETXATTR on each inode. This is not possible for special
files such as FIFO, SOCK, BLK etc. Therefore, some inodes are left
with empty project ID. Those inodes then are not shown in the quota
accounting but still exist in the directory. This is not critical but
in the case when special files are created in the directory with
already existing project quota, these new inodes inherit extended
attributes. This creates a mix of special files with and without
attributes. Moreover, special files with attributes don't have a
possibility to become clear or change the attributes. This, in turn,
prevents userspace from re-creating quota project on these existing
files.
In addition, these new system calls allow the implementation of
additional attributes that we couldn't or didn't want to fit into the
legacy ioctls anymore"

Ftrace is tightly coupled with architecture specific code because it
requires the use of trampolines written in assembly. This means that when
a new feature or optimization is made, it must be done for all
architectures. To simplify the approach, CONFIG_HAVE_FTRACE_* configs are
added to denote which architecture has the new enhancement so that other
architectures can still function until they too have been updated.
The CONFIG_HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT was added to help simplify the
DYNAMIC_FTRACE work, but now every architecture that implements
DYNAMIC_FTRACE also has HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT set too, making it redundant
with the HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE.
Remove the HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT config and use DYNAMIC_FTRACE directly where
applicable.

- Rename CONFIG_GCC_PLUGIN_STACKLEAK as needed to CONFIG_KSTACK_ERASE,

- Rename all exposed "STACKLEAK" names and files to "KSTACK_ERASE" (named
for what it does rather than what it protects against), but leave as
many of the internals alone as possible to avoid even more churn.
While here, also split "prev_lowest_stack" into CONFIG_KSTACK_ERASE_METRICS,

The kerneldoc parsing phase gathers all of the information about the
declarations of interest, then passes it through to the output phase as a
dict that is an unstructured blob of information; this organization has its
origins in the Perl version of the program. It results in an interface
that is difficult to reason about, dozen-parameter function calls, and
other ills.
Introduce a new class (KdocItem) to carry this information between the
parser and the output modules, and, step by step, modify the system to use
this class in a more structured way. This could be taken further by
creating a subclass of KdocItem for each declaration type (function,
struct, ...), but that is probably more structure than we need.
The result is (I hope) clearer code, the removal of a bunch of boilerplate,
and no changes to the generated output.

Versions of Python prior to 3.7 do not guarantee to remember the insertion

It would be nice to get rid of parameterlist as well, but that has the
effect of reordering the output of function parameters and struct fields to
match the order in the kerneldoc comment rather than in the declaration.

`SHF_GNU_RETAIN`) will be used and that they will be marked as `unique`
too, with different IDs. In turn, that means we end up with undefined
references that did not get discarded in `rusttest` and that multiple
`.modinfo` sections are generated, which confuse tooling like `modpost`
because they only expect one.
Thus start using `#[used(compiler)]` to keep the previous behavior
and to be explicit about what we want. Sadly, it is an unstable feature
(`used_with_arg`) [2] -- we will talk to upstream Rust about it. The good
news is that it has been available for a long time (Rust >= 1.60) [3].
The changes should also be fine for previous Rust versions, since they
behave the same way as before [4].
Alternatively, we could use `#[no_mangle]` or `#[export_name = ...]`
since those still behave like `#[used(compiler)]`, but of course it is
not really what we want to express, and it requires other changes to
avoid symbol conflicts.

Add a KUnit test suite for the Poly1305 functions. Most of its test
cases are instantiated from hash-test-template.h, which is also used by
the SHA-2 tests. A couple additional test cases are also included to
test edge cases specific to Poly1305.

Add hash-test-template.h which generates the following KUnit test cases
for hash functions:
test_hash_test_vectors
test_hash_all_lens_up_to_4096
test_hash_incremental_updates
test_hash_buffer_overruns
test_hash_overlaps
test_hash_alignment_consistency
test_hash_ctx_zeroization
test_hash_interrupt_context_1
test_hash_interrupt_context_2
test_hmac (when HMAC is supported)
benchmark_hash (when CONFIG_CRYPTO_LIB_BENCHMARK=y)
The initial use cases for this will be sha224_kunit, sha256_kunit,
sha384_kunit, sha512_kunit, and poly1305_kunit.
Add a Python script gen-hash-testvecs.py which generates the test
vectors required by test_hash_test_vectors,
test_hash_all_lens_up_to_4096, and test_hmac.

improvements".

Paolo Abeni says:
====================
virtio: introduce GSO over UDP tunnel
Some virtualized deployments use UDP tunnel pervasively and are impacted
negatively by the lack of GSO support for such kind of traffic in the
virtual NIC driver.
The virtio_net specification recently introduced support for GSO over
UDP tunnel, this series updates the virtio implementation to support
such a feature.
Currently the kernel virtio support limits the feature space to 64,
while the virtio specification allows for a larger number of features.
Specifically the GSO-over-UDP-tunnel-related virtio features use bits
65-69.
The first four patches in this series rework the virtio and vhost
feature support to cope with up to 128 bits. The limit is set by
a define and could be easily raised in future, as needed.
This implementation choice is aimed at keeping the code churn as
limited as possible. For the same reason, only the virtio_net driver is
reworked to leverage the extended feature space; all other
virtio/vhost drivers are unaffected, but could be upgraded to support
the extended features space in a later time.
The last four patches bring in the actual GSO over UDP tunnel support.
As per specification, some additional fields are introduced into the
virtio net header to support the new offload. The presence of such
fields depends on the negotiated features.
New helpers are introduced to convert the UDP-tunneled skb metadata to
an extended virtio net header and vice versa. Such helpers are used by
the tun and virtio_net driver to cope with the newly supported offloads.
Tested with basic stream transfer with all the possible permutations of
host kernel/qemu/guest kernel with/without GSO over UDP tunnel support.

When one starts QEMU with the -S flag and attaches GDB, the kernel is
not yet loaded, and the current instruction is an entry point to the
decompressor. In case the intention is to debug the early kernel boot,
and not the decompressor, e.g., put a breakpoint on some kernel
function and see all the invocations, one has to skip the decompressor.
There are many ways to do this, and so far people wrote private scripts
or memorized certain command sequences.
Make it work out of the box like this:
$ gdb -ex 'target remote :6812' -ex 'source vmlinux-gdb.py' vmlinux
Remote debugging using :6812
0x0000000000010000 in ?? ()
(gdb) lx-symbols
loading vmlinux
(gdb) x/i $pc
=> 0x3ffe0100000 <startup_continue>: lghi %r2,0
Implement this by reading the address of the jump_to_kernel() function
from the lowcore, and step until DAT is turned on.

The empty MOD_CODETAG_SECTIONS() macro added an incomplete .data section
in module linker script, which caused symbol lookup tools like gdb to
misinterpret symbol addresses e.g., __ib_process_cq incorrectly mapping to
unrelated functions like below.
(gdb) disas __ib_process_cq
Dump of assembler code for function trace_event_fields_cq_schedule:
Removing the empty section restores proper symbol resolution and layout,
ensuring .data placement behaves as expected.

d_shortname of struct dentry only reserves D_NAME_INLINE_LEN characters
and contains garbage for longer names. Use d_name instead, which always

The per-CPU MCE interrupts are looked up by reference and need to be
de-referenced before printing, otherwise we print the addresses of the
variables instead of their contents:
MCE: 18379471554386948492 Machine check exceptions
MCP: 18379471554386948488 Machine check polls
The corrected output looks like this instead now:
MCE: 0 Machine check exceptions
MCP: 1 Machine check polls

In commit 721255b9826b ("genirq: Use a maple tree for interrupt descriptor
management"), the irq_desc_tree was replaced with a sparse_irqs tree using
a maple tree structure. Since the script looked for the irq_desc_tree
symbol which is no longer available, no interrupts would be printed and
the script output would not be useful anymore.
In addition to looking up the correct symbol (sparse_irqs), a new module
(mapletree.py) is added whose mtree_load() implementation is largely
copied after the C version and uses the same variable and intermediate
function names wherever possible to ensure that both the C and Python
version be updated in the future.
This restores the scripts' output to match that of /proc/interrupts.
