Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
 "The various patchsets are summarized below. Plus of course many
  indivudual patches which are described in their changelogs.

   - "Allocate and free frozen pages" from Matthew Wilcox reorganizes
     the page allocator so we end up with the ability to allocate and
     free zero-refcount pages. So that callers (ie, slab) can avoid a
     refcount inc &amp; dec

   - "Support large folios for tmpfs" from Baolin Wang teaches tmpfs to
     use large folios other than PMD-sized ones

   - "Fix mm/rodata_test" from Petr Tesarik performs some maintenance
     and fixes for this small built-in kernel selftest

   - "mas_anode_descend() related cleanup" from Wei Yang tidies up part
     of the mapletree code

   - "mm: fix format issues and param types" from Keren Sun implements a
     few minor code cleanups

   - "simplify split calculation" from Wei Yang provides a few fixes and
     a test for the mapletree code

   - "mm/vma: make more mmap logic userland testable" from Lorenzo
     Stoakes continues the work of moving vma-related code into the
     (relatively) new mm/vma.c

   - "mm/page_alloc: gfp flags cleanups for alloc_contig_*()" from David
     Hildenbrand cleans up and rationalizes handling of gfp flags in the
     page allocator

   - "readahead: Reintroduce fix for improper RA window sizing" from Jan
     Kara is a second attempt at fixing a readahead window sizing issue.
     It should reduce the amount of unnecessary reading

   - "synchronously scan and reclaim empty user PTE pages" from Qi Zheng
     addresses an issue where "huge" amounts of pte pagetables are
     accumulated:

       https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/cover.1718267194.git.zhengqi.arch@bytedance.com/

     Qi's series addresses this windup by synchronously freeing PTE
     memory within the context of madvise(MADV_DONTNEED)

   - "selftest/mm: Remove warnings found by adding compiler flags" from
     Muhammad Usama Anjum fixes some build warnings in the selftests
     code when optional compiler warnings are enabled

   - "mm: don't use __GFP_HARDWALL when migrating remote pages" from
     David Hildenbrand tightens the allocator's observance of
     __GFP_HARDWALL

   - "pkeys kselftests improvements" from Kevin Brodsky implements
     various fixes and cleanups in the MM selftests code, mainly
     pertaining to the pkeys tests

   - "mm/damon: add sample modules" from SeongJae Park enhances DAMON to
     estimate application working set size

   - "memcg/hugetlb: Rework memcg hugetlb charging" from Joshua Hahn
     provides some cleanups to memcg's hugetlb charging logic

   - "mm/swap_cgroup: remove global swap cgroup lock" from Kairui Song
     removes the global swap cgroup lock. A speedup of 10% for a
     tmpfs-based kernel build was demonstrated

   - "zram: split page type read/write handling" from Sergey Senozhatsky
     has several fixes and cleaups for zram in the area of
     zram_write_page(). A watchdog softlockup warning was eliminated

   - "move pagetable_*_dtor() to __tlb_remove_table()" from Kevin
     Brodsky cleans up the pagetable destructor implementations. A rare
     use-after-free race is fixed

   - "mm/debug: introduce and use VM_WARN_ON_VMG()" from Lorenzo Stoakes
     simplifies and cleans up the debugging code in the VMA merging
     logic

   - "Account page tables at all levels" from Kevin Brodsky cleans up
     and regularizes the pagetable ctor/dtor handling. This results in
     improvements in accounting accuracy

   - "mm/damon: replace most damon_callback usages in sysfs with new
     core functions" from SeongJae Park cleans up and generalizes
     DAMON's sysfs file interface logic

   - "mm/damon: enable page level properties based monitoring" from
     SeongJae Park increases the amount of information which is
     presented in response to DAMOS actions

   - "mm/damon: remove DAMON debugfs interface" from SeongJae Park
     removes DAMON's long-deprecated debugfs interfaces. Thus the
     migration to sysfs is completed

   - "mm/hugetlb: Refactor hugetlb allocation resv accounting" from
     Peter Xu cleans up and generalizes the hugetlb reservation
     accounting

   - "mm: alloc_pages_bulk: small API refactor" from Luiz Capitulino
     removes a never-used feature of the alloc_pages_bulk() interface

   - "mm/damon: extend DAMOS filters for inclusion" from SeongJae Park
     extends DAMOS filters to support not only exclusion (rejecting),
     but also inclusion (allowing) behavior

   - "Add zpdesc memory descriptor for zswap.zpool" from Alex Shi
     introduces a new memory descriptor for zswap.zpool that currently
     overlaps with struct page for now. This is part of the effort to
     reduce the size of struct page and to enable dynamic allocation of
     memory descriptors

   - "mm, swap: rework of swap allocator locks" from Kairui Song redoes
     and simplifies the swap allocator locking. A speedup of 400% was
     demonstrated for one workload. As was a 35% reduction for kernel
     build time with swap-on-zram

   - "mm: update mips to use do_mmap(), make mmap_region() internal"
     from Lorenzo Stoakes reworks MIPS's use of mmap_region() so that
     mmap_region() can be made MM-internal

   - "mm/mglru: performance optimizations" from Yu Zhao fixes a few
     MGLRU regressions and otherwise improves MGLRU performance

   - "Docs/mm/damon: add tuning guide and misc updates" from SeongJae
     Park updates DAMON documentation

   - "Cleanup for memfd_create()" from Isaac Manjarres does that thing

   - "mm: hugetlb+THP folio and migration cleanups" from David
     Hildenbrand provides various cleanups in the areas of hugetlb
     folios, THP folios and migration

   - "Uncached buffered IO" from Jens Axboe implements the new
     RWF_DONTCACHE flag which provides synchronous dropbehind for
     pagecache reading and writing. To permite userspace to address
     issues with massive buildup of useless pagecache when
     reading/writing fast devices

   - "selftests/mm: virtual_address_range: Reduce memory" from Thomas
     Weißschuh fixes and optimizes some of the MM selftests"

* tag 'mm-stable-2025-01-26-14-59' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm: (321 commits)

<title>asm-generic: pgalloc: provide generic __pgd_{alloc,free}</title>

<id>a9b3c355c2e6388b0a3b67627460a516d88bdbc9</id>
<content type='text'>
We already have a generic implementation of alloc/free up to P4D level, as
well as pgd_free().  Let's finish the work and add a generic PGD-level
alloc helper as well.

Unlike at lower levels, almost all architectures need some specific magic
at PGD level (typically initialising PGD entries), so introducing a
generic pgd_alloc() isn't worth it.  Instead we introduce two new helpers,
__pgd_alloc() and __pgd_free(), and make use of them in the arch-specific
pgd_alloc() and pgd_free() wherever possible.  To accommodate as many arch
as possible, __pgd_alloc() takes a page allocation order.

Because pagetable_alloc() allocates zeroed pages, explicit zeroing in
pgd_alloc() becomes redundant and we can get rid of it.  Some trivial
implementations of pgd_free() also become unnecessary once __pgd_alloc()
is used; remove them.

Another small improvement is consistent accounting of PGD pages by using
GFP_PGTABLE_{USER,KERNEL} as appropriate.

Not all PGD allocations can be handled by the generic helpers.  In
particular, multiple architectures allocate PGDs from a kmem_cache, and
those PGDs may not be page-sized.

Pull interrupt subsystem updates from Thomas Gleixner:

 - Consolidate the machine_kexec_mask_interrupts() by providing a
   generic implementation and replacing the copy &amp; pasta orgy in the
   relevant architectures.

 - Prevent unconditional operations on interrupt chips during kexec
   shutdown, which can trigger warnings in certain cases when the
   underlying interrupt has been shut down before.

 - Make the enforcement of interrupt handling in interrupt context
   unconditionally available, so that it actually works for non x86
   related interrupt chips. The earlier enablement for ARM GIC chips set
   the required chip flag, but did not notice that the check was hidden
   behind a config switch which is not selected by ARM[64].

 - Decrapify the handling of deferred interrupt affinity setting.

   Some interrupt chips require that affinity changes are made from the
   context of handling an interrupt to avoid certain race conditions.
   For x86 this was the default, but with interrupt remapping this
   requirement was lifted and a flag was introduced which tells the core
   code that affinity changes can be done in any context. Unrestricted
   affinity changes are the default for the majority of interrupt chips.

   RISCV has the requirement to add the deferred mode to one of it's
   interrupt controllers, but with the original implementation this
   would require to add the any context flag to all other RISC-V
   interrupt chips. That's backwards, so reverse the logic and require
   that chips, which need the deferred mode have to be marked
   accordingly. That avoids chasing the 'sane' chips and marking them.

 - Add multi-node support to the Loongarch AVEC interrupt controller
   driver.

 - The usual tiny cleanups, fixes and improvements all over the place.

Commit 654102df2ac2 ("kbuild: add generic support for built-in boot
DTBs") introduced generic support for built-in DTBs.

Select GENERIC_BUILTIN_DTB to use the generic rule.

To keep consistency across architectures, this commit also renames
CONFIG_ARC_BUILTIN_DTB_NAME to CONFIG_BUILTIN_DTB_NAME.

Now, "nsim_700" is the default value for CONFIG_BUILTIN_DTB_NAME, rather
than a fallback in case it is empty.

Nothing uses the actual functionality and the MCIP controller sets the
flags which disables the deferred affinity change. The other interrupt
controller does not support affinity setting at all.

Since task-&gt;comm is guaranteed to be NUL-terminated, we can print it
directly without the need to copy it into a separate buffer.  This
simplifies the code and avoids unnecessary operations.

<content type='text'>
In commit eacd0e950dc2 ("ARC: [mm] Lazy D-cache flush (non aliasing
VIPT)"), arc adds the need to flush dcache to make icache see the code
page change.  This also requires special handling for
clear_user_(high)page().  Introduce cpu_icache_is_aliasing() to make MM
code query special clear_user_(high)page() easier.  This will be used by

In commit eacd0e950dc2 ("ARC: [mm] Lazy D-cache flush (non aliasing
VIPT)"), arc adds the need to flush dcache to make icache see the code
page change.  This also requires special handling for
clear_user_(high)page().  Introduce cpu_icache_is_aliasing() to make MM
code query special clear_user_(high)page() easier.  This will be used by
the following commit.

ARC GCC compiler is packaged starting from Fedora 39i and the GCC
variant of cross compile tools has arc-linux-gnu- prefix and not
arc-linux-. This is causing that CROSS_COMPILE variable is left unset.

This change allows builds without need to supply CROSS_COMPILE argument
if distro package is used.

Before this change:
$ make -j 128 ARCH=arc W=1 drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx4/
  gcc: warning: ‘-mcpu=’ is deprecated; use ‘-mtune=’ or ‘-march=’ instead
  gcc: error: unrecognized command-line option ‘-mmedium-calls’
  gcc: error: unrecognized command-line option ‘-mlock’
  gcc: error: unrecognized command-line option ‘-munaligned-access’
