Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:

 - Sumanth Korikkar has taught s390 to allocate hotplug-time page frames
   from hotplugged memory rather than only from main memory. Series
   "implement "memmap on memory" feature on s390".

 - More folio conversions from Matthew Wilcox in the series

	"Convert memcontrol charge moving to use folios"
	"mm: convert mm counter to take a folio"

 - Chengming Zhou has optimized zswap's rbtree locking, providing
   significant reductions in system time and modest but measurable
   reductions in overall runtimes. The series is "mm/zswap: optimize the
   scalability of zswap rb-tree".

 - Chengming Zhou has also provided the series "mm/zswap: optimize zswap
   lru list" which provides measurable runtime benefits in some
   swap-intensive situations.

 - And Chengming Zhou further optimizes zswap in the series "mm/zswap:
   optimize for dynamic zswap_pools". Measured improvements are modest.

 - zswap cleanups and simplifications from Yosry Ahmed in the series
   "mm: zswap: simplify zswap_swapoff()".

 - In the series "Add DAX ABI for memmap_on_memory", Vishal Verma has
   contributed several DAX cleanups as well as adding a sysfs tunable to
   control the memmap_on_memory setting when the dax device is
   hotplugged as system memory.

 - Johannes Weiner has added the large series "mm: zswap: cleanups",
   which does that.

 - More DAMON work from SeongJae Park in the series

	"mm/damon: make DAMON debugfs interface deprecation unignorable"
	"selftests/damon: add more tests for core functionalities and corner cases"
	"Docs/mm/damon: misc readability improvements"
	"mm/damon: let DAMOS feeds and tame/auto-tune itself"

 - In the series "mm/mempolicy: weighted interleave mempolicy and sysfs
   extension" Rakie Kim has developed a new mempolicy interleaving
   policy wherein we allocate memory across nodes in a weighted fashion
   rather than uniformly. This is beneficial in heterogeneous memory
   environments appearing with CXL.

 - Christophe Leroy has contributed some cleanup and consolidation work
   against the ARM pagetable dumping code in the series "mm: ptdump:
   Refactor CONFIG_DEBUG_WX and check_wx_pages debugfs attribute".

 - Luis Chamberlain has added some additional xarray selftesting in the
   series "test_xarray: advanced API multi-index tests".

 - Muhammad Usama Anjum has reworked the selftest code to make its
   human-readable output conform to the TAP ("Test Anything Protocol")
   format. Amongst other things, this opens up the use of third-party
   tools to parse and process out selftesting results.

 - Ryan Roberts has added fork()-time PTE batching of THP ptes in the
   series "mm/memory: optimize fork() with PTE-mapped THP". Mainly
   targeted at arm64, this significantly speeds up fork() when the
   process has a large number of pte-mapped folios.

 - David Hildenbrand also gets in on the THP pte batching game in his
   series "mm/memory: optimize unmap/zap with PTE-mapped THP". It
   implements batching during munmap() and other pte teardown
   situations. The microbenchmark improvements are nice.

 - And in the series "Transparent Contiguous PTEs for User Mappings"
   Ryan Roberts further utilizes arm's pte's contiguous bit ("contpte
   mappings"). Kernel build times on arm64 improved nicely. Ryan's
   series "Address some contpte nits" provides some followup work.

 - In the series "mm/hugetlb: Restore the reservation" Breno Leitao has
   fixed an obscure hugetlb race which was causing unnecessary page
   faults. He has also added a reproducer under the selftest code.

 - In the series "selftests/mm: Output cleanups for the compaction
   test", Mark Brown did what the title claims.

 - Kinsey Ho has added the series "mm/mglru: code cleanup and
   refactoring".

 - Even more zswap material from Nhat Pham. The series "fix and extend
   zswap kselftests" does as claimed.

 - In the series "Introduce cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() to fix DAX
   regression" Mathieu Desnoyers has cleaned up and fixed rather a mess
   in our handling of DAX on archiecctures which have virtually aliasing
   data caches. The arm architecture is the main beneficiary.

 - Lokesh Gidra's series "per-vma locks in userfaultfd" provides
   dramatic improvements in worst-case mmap_lock hold times during
   certain userfaultfd operations.

 - Some page_owner enhancements and maintenance work from Oscar Salvador
   in his series

	"page_owner: print stacks and their outstanding allocations"
	"page_owner: Fixup and cleanup"

 - Uladzislau Rezki has contributed some vmalloc scalability
   improvements in his series "Mitigate a vmap lock contention". It
   realizes a 12x improvement for a certain microbenchmark.

 - Some kexec/crash cleanup work from Baoquan He in the series "Split
   crash out from kexec and clean up related config items".

 - Some zsmalloc maintenance work from Chengming Zhou in the series

	"mm/zsmalloc: fix and optimize objects/page migration"
	"mm/zsmalloc: some cleanup for get/set_zspage_mapping()"

 - Zi Yan has taught the MM to perform compaction on folios larger than
   order=0. This a step along the path to implementaton of the merging
   of large anonymous folios. The series is named "Enable &gt;0 order folio
   memory compaction".

 - Christoph Hellwig has done quite a lot of cleanup work in the
   pagecache writeback code in his series "convert write_cache_pages()
   to an iterator".

 - Some modest hugetlb cleanups and speedups in Vishal Moola's series
   "Handle hugetlb faults under the VMA lock".

 - Zi Yan has changed the page splitting code so we can split huge pages
   into sizes other than order-0 to better utilize large folios. The
   series is named "Split a folio to any lower order folios".

 - David Hildenbrand has contributed the series "mm: remove
   total_mapcount()", a cleanup.

 - Matthew Wilcox has sought to improve the performance of bulk memory
   freeing in his series "Rearrange batched folio freeing".

 - Gang Li's series "hugetlb: parallelize hugetlb page init on boot"
   provides large improvements in bootup times on large machines which
   are configured to use large numbers of hugetlb pages.

 - Matthew Wilcox's series "PageFlags cleanups" does that.

 - Qi Zheng's series "minor fixes and supplement for ptdesc" does that
   also. S390 is affected.

 - Cleanups to our pagemap utility functions from Peter Xu in his series
   "mm/treewide: Replace pXd_large() with pXd_leaf()".

 - Nico Pache has fixed a few things with our hugepage selftests in his
   series "selftests/mm: Improve Hugepage Test Handling in MM
   Selftests".

 - Also, of course, many singleton patches to many things. Please see
   the individual changelogs for details.

<title>ARM: 9352/1: iwmmxt: Remove support for PJ4/PJ4B cores</title>

<id>b9920fdd5a751df129808e7fa512e9928223ee05</id>
<content type='text'>
PJ4 is a v7 core that incorporates a iWMMXt coprocessor. However, GCC
does not support this combination (its iWMMXt configuration always
implies v5te), and so there is no v6/v7 user space that actually makes
use of this, beyond generic support for things like setjmp() that
preserve/restore the iWMMXt register file using generic LDC/STC
instructions emitted in assembler.  As [0] appears to imply, this logic
is triggered for the init process at boot, and so most user threads will
have a iWMMXt register context associated with it, even though it is
never used.

At this point, it is highly unlikely that such GCC support will ever
materialize (and Clang does not implement support for iWMMXt to begin
with).

This means that advertising iWMMXt support on these cores results in
context switch overhead without any associated benefit, and so it is
better to simply ignore the iWMMXt unit on these systems. So rip out the
support. Doing so also fixes the issue reported in [0] related to UNDEF
handling of co-processor #0/#1 instructions issued from user space
running in Thumb2 mode.

The PJ4 cores are used in four platforms: Armada 370/xp, Dove (Cubox,
d2plug), MMP2 (xo-1.75) and Berlin (Google TV). Out of these, only the
first is still widely used, but that one actually doesn't have iWMMXt
but instead has only VFPV3-D16, and so it is not impacted by this
change.

Closes: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=218427 [0]

<title>ARM: 9349/1: unwind: Add missing "Call trace:" line</title>

<id>daa559570d4b81e98e5a77a5c0f2a88879a9f245</id>
<content type='text'>
Every other architecture in Linux includes the line "Call trace:" before
backtraces. In some cases ARM would print "Backtrace:", but this was
only via 1 specific call path, and wasn't included in CPU Oops nor things
like KASAN, UBSAN, etc that called dump_stack(). Regularize this line
so CI systems and other things (like LKDTM) that depend on parsing
"Call trace:" out of dmesg will see it for ARM.

Every other architecture in Linux includes the line "Call trace:" before
backtraces. In some cases ARM would print "Backtrace:", but this was
only via 1 specific call path, and wasn't included in CPU Oops nor things
like KASAN, UBSAN, etc that called dump_stack(). Regularize this line
so CI systems and other things (like LKDTM) that depend on parsing
"Call trace:" out of dmesg will see it for ARM.

<title>arch, crash: move arch_crash_save_vmcoreinfo() out to file vmcore_info.c</title>

$ curl -LSso .config https://git.alpinelinux.org/aports/plain/community/linux-edge/config-edge.armv7
$ make -skj"$(nproc)" ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi- olddefconfig all

machine_kexec.c:(.text+0x488): undefined reference to `vmcoreinfo_append_str'
====

On architecutres, like arm, s390, ppc, sh, function
arch_crash_save_vmcoreinfo() is located in machine_kexec.c and it can
only be compiled in when CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE=y.

That's not right because arch_crash_save_vmcoreinfo() is used to export
arch specific vmcoreinfo. CONFIG_VMCORE_INFO is supposed to control its
compiling in. However, CONFIG_VMVCORE_INFO could be independent of
CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE, e.g CONFIG_PROC_KCORE=y will select CONFIG_VMVCORE_INFO.
Or CONFIG_KEXEC/CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE is set while CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP is
not set, it will report linking error.

So, on arm, s390, ppc and sh, move arch_crash_save_vmcoreinfo out to
a new file vmcore_info.c. Let CONFIG_VMCORE_INFO decide if compiling in
arch_crash_save_vmcoreinfo().

Now crash codes under kernel/ folder has been split out from kexec
code, crash dumping can be separated from kexec reboot in config
items on arm with some adjustments.

Here use CONFIG_CRASH_RESERVE ifdef to replace CONFIG_KEXEC ifdef.

The vDSO data page "union vdso_data_store" is defined in an ARM specific
header file and also defined in several other places.

Move the definition from the ARM header file into the generic vdso datapage
header to make it also usable for others and to prevent code duplication.

Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon:
 "CPU features:

   - Remove ARM64_HAS_NO_HW_PREFETCH copy_page() optimisation for ye
     olde Thunder-X machines

   - Avoid mapping KPTI trampoline when it is not required

   - Make CPU capability API more robust during early initialisation

  Early idreg overrides:

   - Remove dependencies on core kernel helpers from the early
     command-line parsing logic in preparation for moving this code
     before the kernel is mapped

  FPsimd:

   - Restore kernel-mode fpsimd context lazily, allowing us to run
     fpsimd code sequences in the kernel with pre-emption enabled

  KBuild:

   - Install 'vmlinuz.efi' when CONFIG_EFI_ZBOOT=y

   - Makefile cleanups

  LPA2 prep:

   - Preparatory work for enabling the 'LPA2' extension, which will
     introduce 52-bit virtual and physical addressing even with 4KiB
     pages (including for KVM guests).

  Misc:

   - Remove dead code and fix a typo

  MM:

   - Pass NUMA node information for IRQ stack allocations

  Perf:

   - Add perf support for the Synopsys DesignWare PCIe PMU

   - Add support for event counting thresholds (FEAT_PMUv3_TH)
     introduced in Armv8.8

   - Add support for i.MX8DXL SoCs to the IMX DDR PMU driver.

   - Minor PMU driver fixes and optimisations

  RIP VPIPT:

   - Remove what support we had for the obsolete VPIPT I-cache policy

  Selftests:

   - Improvements to the SVE and SME selftests

  Stacktrace:

   - Refactor kernel unwind logic so that it can used by BPF unwinding
     and, eventually, reliable backtracing

  Sysregs:

   - Update a bunch of register definitions based on the latest XML drop
     from Arm"

* tag 'arm64-upstream' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux: (87 commits)
  kselftest/arm64: Don't probe the current VL for unsupported vector types
  efi/libstub: zboot: do not use $(shell ...) in cmd_copy_and_pad
  arm64: properly install vmlinuz.efi
  arm64/sysreg: Add missing system instruction definitions for FGT
  arm64/sysreg: Add missing system register definitions for FGT
  arm64/sysreg: Add missing ExtTrcBuff field definition to ID_AA64DFR0_EL1
  arm64/sysreg: Add missing Pauth_LR field definitions to ID_AA64ISAR1_EL1
  arm64: memory: remove duplicated include
  arm: perf: Fix ARCH=arm build with GCC
  arm64: Align boot cpucap handling with system cpucap handling
  arm64: Cleanup system cpucap handling
  MAINTAINERS: add maintainers for DesignWare PCIe PMU driver
  drivers/perf: add DesignWare PCIe PMU driver
  PCI: Move pci_clear_and_set_dword() helper to PCI header
  PCI: Add Alibaba Vendor ID to linux/pci_ids.h
  docs: perf: Add description for Synopsys DesignWare PCIe PMU driver
  arm64: irq: set the correct node for shadow call stack
