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.

include/asm/parport.h is sparc64 specific.
Rename it to parport_64.h and use the generic version for sparc32.

This fixed all{mod,yes}config build errors like:

parport_pc.c:(.text):undefined-reference-to-ebus_dma_enable
parport_pc.c:(.text):undefined-reference-to-ebus_dma_irq_enable
parport_pc.c:(.text):undefined-reference-to-ebus_dma_register

The errors occur as the sparc32 build references sparc64 symbols.

Even if pXd_leaf() API is defined globally, it's not clear on the retval,
and there are three types used (bool, int, unsigned log).

Always return a boolean for pXd_leaf() APIs.

Even if pXd_leaf() API is defined globally, it's not clear on the retval,
and there are three types used (bool, int, unsigned log).

Always return a boolean for pXd_leaf() APIs.

Most architectures only support a single hardcoded page size. In order
to ensure that each one of these sets the corresponding Kconfig symbols,
change over the PAGE_SHIFT definition to the common one and allow
only the hardware page size to be selected.

<title>Introduce cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() across all architectures</title>

<id>8690bbcf3b7010b31fdbf3851e1add6ae19b8624</id>
<content type='text'>
Introduce a generic way to query whether the data cache is virtually
aliased on all architectures. Its purpose is to ensure that subsystems
which are incompatible with virtually aliased data caches (e.g. FS_DAX)
can reliably query this.

For data cache aliasing, there are three scenarios dependending on the
architecture. Here is a breakdown based on my understanding:

A) The data cache is always aliasing:

* arc
* csky
* m68k (note: shared memory mappings are incoherent ? SHMLBA is missing there.)
* sh
* parisc

B) The data cache aliasing is statically known or depends on querying CPU
   state at runtime:

* arm (cache_is_vivt() || cache_is_vipt_aliasing())
* mips (cpu_has_dc_aliases)
* nios2 (NIOS2_DCACHE_SIZE &gt; PAGE_SIZE)
* sparc32 (vac_cache_size &gt; PAGE_SIZE)
* sparc64 (L1DCACHE_SIZE &gt; PAGE_SIZE)
* xtensa (DCACHE_WAY_SIZE &gt; PAGE_SIZE)

C) The data cache is never aliasing:

* alpha
* arm64 (aarch64)
* hexagon
* loongarch (but with incoherent write buffers, which are disabled since
             commit d23b7795 ("LoongArch: Change SHMLBA from SZ_64K to PAGE_SIZE"))
* microblaze
* openrisc
* powerpc
* riscv
* s390
* um
* x86

Require architectures in A) and B) to select ARCH_HAS_CPU_CACHE_ALIASING and
implement "cpu_dcache_is_aliasing()".

Architectures in C) don't select ARCH_HAS_CPU_CACHE_ALIASING, and thus
cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() simply evaluates to "false".

Note that this leaves "cpu_icache_is_aliasing()" to be implemented as future
work. This would be useful to gate features like XIP on architectures
which have aliasing CPU dcache-icache but not CPU dcache-dcache.

Use "cpu_dcache" and "cpu_cache" rather than just "dcache" and "cache"
to clarify that we really mean "CPU data cache" and "CPU cache" to
eliminate any possible confusion with VFS "dentry cache" and "page
cache".

define PFN_PTE_SHIFT, required by pte_next_pfn().

We've had issues with gcc and 'asm goto' before, and we created a
'asm_volatile_goto()' macro for that in the past: see commits
3f0116c3238a ("compiler/gcc4: Add quirk for 'asm goto' miscompilation
bug") and a9f180345f53 ("compiler/gcc4: Make quirk for
asm_volatile_goto() unconditional").

Then, much later, we ended up removing the workaround in commit
43c249ea0b1e ("compiler-gcc.h: remove ancient workaround for gcc PR
58670") because we no longer supported building the kernel with the
affected gcc versions, but we left the macro uses around.

Now, Sean Christopherson reports a new version of a very similar
problem, which is fixed by re-applying that ancient workaround.  But the
problem in question is limited to only the 'asm goto with outputs'
cases, so instead of re-introducing the old workaround as-is, let's
rename and limit the workaround to just that much less common case.

It looks like there are at least two separate issues that all hit in
this area:

 (a) some versions of gcc don't mark the asm goto as 'volatile' when it
     has outputs:

        https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=98619
        https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=110420

     which is easy to work around by just adding the 'volatile' by hand.

 (b) Internal compiler errors:

        https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=110422

     which are worked around by adding the extra empty 'asm' as a
     barrier, as in the original workaround.

but the problem Sean sees may be a third thing since it involves bad
code generation (not an ICE) even with the manually added 'volatile'.

but the same old workaround works for this case, even if this feels a
bit like voodoo programming and may only be hiding the issue.
