Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar:

 - Introduce cmpxchg128() -- aka. the demise of cmpxchg_double()

   The cmpxchg128() family of functions is basically &amp; functionally the
   same as cmpxchg_double(), but with a saner interface.

   Instead of a 6-parameter horror that forced u128 - u64/u64-halves
   layout details on the interface and exposed users to complexity,
   fragility &amp; bugs, use a natural 3-parameter interface with u128
   types.

 - Restructure the generated atomic headers, and add kerneldoc comments
   for all of the generic atomic{,64,_long}_t operations.

   The generated definitions are much cleaner now, and come with
   documentation.

 - Implement lock_set_cmp_fn() on lockdep, for defining an ordering when
   taking multiple locks of the same type.

   This gets rid of one use of lockdep_set_novalidate_class() in the
   bcache code.

 - Fix raw_cpu_generic_try_cmpxchg() bug due to an unintended variable
   shadowing generating garbage code on Clang on certain ARM builds.

Most architectures define the atomic/atomic64 xchg and cmpxchg
operations in terms of arch_xchg and arch_cmpxchg respectfully.

Add fallbacks for these cases and remove the trivial cases from arch
code. On some architectures the existing definitions are kept as these
are used to build other arch_atomic*() operations.

<title>mm, arch: add generic implementation of pfn_valid() for FLATMEM</title>

Every architecture that supports FLATMEM memory model defines its own
version of pfn_valid() that essentially compares a pfn to max_mapnr.

Use mips/powerpc version implemented as static inline as a generic
implementation of pfn_valid() and drop its per-architecture definitions.

<content type='text'>
Let's support __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SWP_EXCLUSIVE by stealing one bit from the
offset.  This reduces the maximum swap space per file to 16 GiB (was 32
GiB).

We might actually be able to reuse one of the other software bits
(_PAGE_READ / PAGE_WRITE) instead, because we only have to keep
pte_present(), pte_none() and HW happy.  For now, let's keep it simple
because there might be something non-obvious.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:

 - More userfaultfs work from Peter Xu

 - Several convert-to-folios series from Sidhartha Kumar and Huang Ying

 - Some filemap cleanups from Vishal Moola

 - David Hildenbrand added the ability to selftest anon memory COW
   handling

 - Some cpuset simplifications from Liu Shixin

 - Addition of vmalloc tracing support by Uladzislau Rezki

 - Some pagecache folioifications and simplifications from Matthew
   Wilcox

 - A pagemap cleanup from Kefeng Wang: we have VM_ACCESS_FLAGS, so use
   it

 - Miguel Ojeda contributed some cleanups for our use of the
   __no_sanitize_thread__ gcc keyword.

   This series should have been in the non-MM tree, my bad

 - Naoya Horiguchi improved the interaction between memory poisoning and
   memory section removal for huge pages

 - DAMON cleanups and tuneups from SeongJae Park

 - Tony Luck fixed the handling of COW faults against poisoned pages

 - Peter Xu utilized the PTE marker code for handling swapin errors

   and making it more efficient

   that drivers no longer need to use the FOLL_FORCE workaround which
   didn't work very well anyway

   enabled during per-cpu page allocations

 - Vishal Moola removed the try_to_release_page() wrapper

 - Stefan Roesch added some per-BDI sysfs tunables which are used to
   prevent network block devices from dirtying excessive amounts of
   pagecache

 - David Hildenbrand did some cleanup and repair work on KSM COW
   breaking

 - Nhat Pham and Johannes Weiner have implemented writeback in zswap's
   zsmalloc backend

   Chen

 - Shiyang Ruan has done some work on fsdax, to make its reflink mode
   work better under xfstests. Better, but still not perfect

 - Christoph Hellwig has removed the .writepage() method from several
   filesystems. They only need .writepages()

 - Yosry Ahmed wrote a series which fixes the memcg reclaim target
   beancounting

 - David Hildenbrand has fixed some of our MM selftests for 32-bit
   machines

 - Many singleton patches, as usual

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:

 - More userfaultfs work from Peter Xu

 - Several convert-to-folios series from Sidhartha Kumar and Huang Ying

 - Some filemap cleanups from Vishal Moola

 - David Hildenbrand added the ability to selftest anon memory COW
   handling

 - Some cpuset simplifications from Liu Shixin

 - Addition of vmalloc tracing support by Uladzislau Rezki

 - Some pagecache folioifications and simplifications from Matthew
   Wilcox

 - A pagemap cleanup from Kefeng Wang: we have VM_ACCESS_FLAGS, so use
   it

 - Miguel Ojeda contributed some cleanups for our use of the
   __no_sanitize_thread__ gcc keyword.

   This series should have been in the non-MM tree, my bad

 - Naoya Horiguchi improved the interaction between memory poisoning and
   memory section removal for huge pages

 - DAMON cleanups and tuneups from SeongJae Park

 - Tony Luck fixed the handling of COW faults against poisoned pages

<title>stackprotector: actually use get_random_canary()</title>

The RNG always mixes in the Linux version extremely early in boot. It
also always includes a cycle counter, not only during early boot, but
each and every time it is invoked prior to being fully initialized.
Together, this means that the use of additional xors inside of the
various stackprotector.h files is superfluous and over-complicated.
Instead, we can get exactly the same thing, but better, by just calling
`get_random_canary()`.
