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.

 - The series "kasan: few improvements on kunit tests" from Sabyrzhan
   Tasbolatov has a couple of fixups for the KASAN KUnit tests.

 - The series "mm/list_lru: Split list_lru lock into per-cgroup scope"
   from Kairui Song optimizes list_lru memory utilization when lockdep
   is enabled.

Pull vdso data page handling updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "First steps of consolidating the VDSO data page handling.

  The VDSO data page handling is architecture specific for historical
  reasons, but there is no real technical reason to do so.

  Aside of that VDSO data has become a dump ground for various
  mechanisms and fail to provide a clear separation of the
  functionalities.

  Clean this up by:

   - consolidating the VDSO page data by getting rid of architecture
     specific warts especially in x86 and PowerPC.

   - removing the last includes of header files which are pulling in
     other headers outside of the VDSO namespace.

   - seperating timekeeping and other VDSO data accordingly.

  Further consolidation of the VDSO page handling is done in subsequent
  changes scheduled for the next merge window.

  This also lays the ground for expanding the VDSO time getters for
  independent PTP clocks in a generic way without making every
  architecture add support seperately"

Several architectures support text patching, but they name the header
files that declare patching functions differently.

Make all such headers consistently named text-patching.h and add an empty
header in asm-generic for architectures that do not support text patching.

prepare_hugepage_range() performs almost the same checks for all
architectures that define it, with the exception of mips and loongarch
that also check for overflows.

The rest checks for the addr and len to be properly aligned, so we can
move that to hugetlb_get_unmapped_area() and get rid of a fair amount of
duplicated code.

<title>MIPS: Allow using more than 32-bit addresses for reset vectors when possible</title>

<id>6f14293257309a02a6d451e80e4ef1d78560479e</id>
<content type='text'>
While most MIPS64 CPUs use 32-bit values for their VP Local Reset
Exception Base registers, some I6500 CPUs can utilize a 64-bit value,
allowing addressing up to 47 bits of physical memory.

For the EyeQ6H CPU, where physical memory addresses exceed the 4GB
limit, utilizing this feature is mandatory to enable SMP support.

Unfortunately, there is no way to detect this capability based solely
on the ID of the CPU. According to Imagination, which designed the
CPU, the only reliable method is to fill the reset base field with
0xFF and then read back its value. If the upper part of the read-back
value is zero, it indicates that the address space is limited to 32
bits.

When MIPS_FP_SUPPORT is disabled, __sanitize_fcr31() is defined as
nothing, which triggers a gcc warning:

    In file included from kernel/sched/core.c:79:
    kernel/sched/core.c: In function 'context_switch':

Fix this by providing an empty body for __sanitize_fcr31() like one is
defined for __mips_mt_fpaff_switch_to().

page_to_phys is duplicated by all architectures, and from some strange
reason placed in &lt;asm/io.h&gt; where it doesn't fit at all.

phys_to_page is only provided by a few architectures despite having a lot
of open coded users.

Provide generic versions in &lt;asm-generic/memory_model.h&gt; to make these
helpers more easily usable.

Note with this patch powerpc loses the CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL pfn_valid
check.  It will be added back in a generic version later.
