Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:

 - The series "zram: optimal post-processing target selection" from
   Sergey Senozhatsky improves zram's post-processing selection
   algorithm. This leads to improved memory savings.

 - Wei Yang has gone to town on the mapletree code, contributing several
   series which clean up the implementation:
	- "refine mas_mab_cp()"
	- "Reduce the space to be cleared for maple_big_node"
	- "maple_tree: simplify mas_push_node()"
	- "Following cleanup after introduce mas_wr_store_type()"
	- "refine storing null"

 - The series "selftests/mm: hugetlb_fault_after_madv improvements" from
   David Hildenbrand fixes this selftest for s390.

 - The series "introduce pte_offset_map_{ro|rw}_nolock()" from Qi Zheng
   implements some rationaizations and cleanups in the page mapping
   code.

 - The series "mm: optimize shadow entries removal" from Shakeel Butt
   optimizes the file truncation code by speeding up the handling of
   shadow entries.

 - The series "Remove PageKsm()" from Matthew Wilcox completes the
   migration of this flag over to being a folio-based flag.

 - The series "Unify hugetlb into arch_get_unmapped_area functions" from
   Oscar Salvador implements a bunch of consolidations and cleanups in
   the hugetlb code.

 - The series "Do not shatter hugezeropage on wp-fault" from Dev Jain
   takes away the wp-fault time practice of turning a huge zero page
   into small pages. Instead we replace the whole thing with a THP. More
   consistent cleaner and potentiall saves a large number of pagefaults.

 - The series "percpu: Add a test case and fix for clang" from Andy
   Shevchenko enhances and fixes the kernel's built in percpu test code.

 - The series "mm/mremap: Remove extra vma tree walk" from Liam Howlett
   optimizes mremap() by avoiding doing things which we didn't need to
   do.

 - The series "Improve the tmpfs large folio read performance" from
   Baolin Wang teaches tmpfs to copy data into userspace at the folio
   size rather than as individual pages. A 20% speedup was observed.

 - The series "mm/damon/vaddr: Fix issue in
   damon_va_evenly_split_region()" fro Zheng Yejian fixes DAMON
   splitting.

 - The series "memcg-v1: fully deprecate charge moving" from Shakeel
   Butt removes the long-deprecated memcgv2 charge moving feature.

 - The series "fix error handling in mmap_region() and refactor" from
   Lorenzo Stoakes cleanup up some of the mmap() error handling and
   addresses some potential performance issues.

 - The series "x86/module: use large ROX pages for text allocations"
   from Mike Rapoport teaches x86 to use large pages for
   read-only-execute module text.

 - The series "page allocation tag compression" from Suren Baghdasaryan
   is followon maintenance work for the new page allocation profiling
   feature.

 - The series "page-&gt;index removals in mm" from Matthew Wilcox remove
   most references to page-&gt;index in mm/. A slow march towards shrinking
   struct page.

 - The series "damon/{self,kunit}tests: minor fixups for DAMON debugfs
   interface tests" from Andrew Paniakin performs maintenance work for
   DAMON's self testing code.

 - The series "mm: zswap swap-out of large folios" from Kanchana Sridhar
   improves zswap's batching of compression and decompression. It is a
   step along the way towards using Intel IAA hardware acceleration for
   this zswap operation.

 - The series "kasan: migrate the last module test to kunit" from
   Sabyrzhan Tasbolatov completes the migration of the KASAN built-in
   tests over to the KUnit framework.

 - The series "implement lightweight guard pages" from Lorenzo Stoakes
   permits userapace to place fault-generating guard pages within a
   single VMA, rather than requiring that multiple VMAs be created for
   this. Improved efficiencies for userspace memory allocators are
   expected.

 - The series "memcg: tracepoint for flushing stats" from JP Kobryn uses
   tracepoints to provide increased visibility into memcg stats flushing
   activity.

 - The series "zram: IDLE flag handling fixes" from Sergey Senozhatsky
   fixes a zram buglet which potentially affected performance.

 - The series "mm: add more kernel parameters to control mTHP" from
   Maíra Canal enhances our ability to control/configuremultisize THP
   from the kernel boot command line.

   from Kairui Song optimizes list_lru memory utilization when lockdep
   is enabled.

* tag 'mm-stable-2024-11-18-19-27' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm: (215 commits)

<content type='text'>
The code for syncing vmalloc memory PGD pointers is using
atomic_read() in pair with atomic_set_release() but the
proper pairing is atomic_read_acquire() paired with
atomic_set_release().

This is done to clearly instruct the compiler to not
reorder the memcpy() or similar calls inside the section
so that we do not observe changes to init_mm. memcpy()
calls should be identified by the compiler as having
unpredictable side effects, but let's try to be on the
safe side.

<content type='text'>
When sync:ing the VMALLOC area to other CPUs, make sure to also
sync the KASAN shadow memory for the VMALLOC area, so that we
don't get stale entries for the shadow memory in the top level PGD.

Since we are now copying PGDs in two instances, create a helper
function named memcpy_pgd() to do the actual copying, and
create a helper to map the addresses of VMALLOC_START and
VMALLOC_END into the corresponding shadow memory.

When enabling expert mode CONFIG_EXPERT and using that power
user mode to disable the branch prediction hardening
!CONFIG_HARDEN_BRANCH_PREDICTOR, the assembly linker
in CLANG notices that some assembly in proc-v7.S does
not have corresponding C call sites, i.e. the prototypes
in proc-v7-bugs.c are enclosed in ifdef
CONFIG_HARDEN_BRANCH_PREDICTOR so this assembly:

SYM_TYPED_FUNC_START(cpu_v7_smc_switch_mm)
SYM_TYPED_FUNC_START(cpu_v7_hvc_switch_mm)

Results in:

ld.lld: error: undefined symbol: __kcfi_typeid_cpu_v7_smc_switch_mm
&gt;&gt;&gt; referenced by proc-v7.S:94 (.../arch/arm/mm/proc-v7.S:94)
&gt;&gt;&gt; arch/arm/mm/proc-v7.o:(.text+0x108) in archive vmlinux.a

ld.lld: error: undefined symbol: __kcfi_typeid_cpu_v7_hvc_switch_mm
&gt;&gt;&gt; referenced by proc-v7.S:105 (.../arch/arm/mm/proc-v7.S:105)
&gt;&gt;&gt; arch/arm/mm/proc-v7.o:(.text+0x124) in archive vmlinux.a

Fix this by adding an additional requirement that
CONFIG_HARDEN_BRANCH_PREDICTOR has to be enabled to compile
these assembly calls.

Fix the physical address calculation of the following to get smp working
on xip kernels.
- secondary_data needed for secondary cpu bootup.
- secondary_startup address passed through psci.
- identity mapped code region needed for enabling mmu for secondary cpus.

<title>ARM: 9419/1: mm: Fix kernel memory mapping for xip kernels</title>

<content type='text'>
The patchset introducing kernel_sec_start/end variables to separate the
kernel/lowmem memory mappings, broke the mapping of the kernel memory
for xipkernels.

kernel_sec_start/end variables are in RO area before the MMU is switched
on for xipkernels.
So these cannot be set early in boot in head.S. Fix this by setting these
after MMU is switched on.
xipkernels need two different mappings for kernel text (starting at
CONFIG_XIP_PHYS_ADDR) and data (starting at CONFIG_PHYS_OFFSET).
Also, move the kernel code mapping from devicemaps_init() to map_kernel().

<title>arm: adjust_pte() use pte_offset_map_rw_nolock()</title>

In do_adjust_pte(), we may modify the pte entry.  The corresponding pmd
entry may have been modified concurrently.  Therefore, in order to ensure
the stability if pmd entry, use pte_offset_map_rw_nolock() to replace
pte_offset_map_nolock(), and do pmd_same() check after holding the PTL.

All callers of update_mmu_cache_range() hold the vmf-&gt;ptl, so we can
determined whether split PTE locks is being used by doing the following,
just as we do elsewhere in the kernel.

	ptl != vmf-&gt;ptl

And then we can delete the do_pte_lock() and do_pte_unlock().
