The below blurbiage describes 42 patchsets. 21 of those are partially or fully cleanup work. "cleans up", "cleanup", "maintainability", "rationalizes", etc. I never knew the MM code was so dirty. "mm: ksm: prevent KSM from breaking merging of new VMAs" (Lorenzo Stoakes) addresses an issue with KSM's PR_SET_MEMORY_MERGE mode: newly mapped VMAs were not eligible for merging with existing adjacent VMAs. "mm/damon: introduce DAMON_STAT for simple and practical access monitoring" (SeongJae Park) adds a new kernel module which simplifies the setup and usage of DAMON in production environments. "stop passing a writeback_control to swap/shmem writeout" (Christoph Hellwig) is a cleanup to the writeback code which removes a couple of pointers from struct writeback_control. "drivers/base/node.c: optimization and cleanups" (Donet Tom) contains largely uncorrelated cleanups to the NUMA node setup and management code. "mm: userfaultfd: assorted fixes and cleanups" (Tal Zussman) does some maintenance work on the userfaultfd code. "Readahead tweaks for larger folios" (Ryan Roberts) implements some tuneups for pagecache readahead when it is reading into order>0 folios. "selftests/mm: Tweaks to the cow test" (Mark Brown) provides some cleanups and consistency improvements to the selftests code. "Optimize mremap() for large folios" (Dev Jain) does that. A 37% reduction in execution time was measured in a memset+mremap+munmap microbenchmark. "Remove zero_user()" (Matthew Wilcox) expunges zero_user() in favor of the more modern memzero_page(). "mm/huge_memory: vmf_insert_folio_*() and vmf_insert_pfn_pud() fixes" (David Hildenbrand) addresses some warts which David noticed in the huge page code. These were not known to be causing any issues at this time. "mm/damon: use alloc_migrate_target() for DAMOS_MIGRATE_{HOT,COLD" (SeongJae Park) provides some cleanup and consolidation work in DAMON. "use vm_flags_t consistently" (Lorenzo Stoakes) uses vm_flags_t in places where we were inappropriately using other types. "mm/memfd: Reserve hugetlb folios before allocation" (Vivek Kasireddy) increases the reliability of large page allocation in the memfd code. "mm: Remove pXX_devmap page table bit and pfn_t type" (Alistair Popple) removes several now-unneeded PFN_* flags. "mm/damon: decouple sysfs from core" (SeongJae Park) implememnts some cleanup and maintainability work in the DAMON sysfs layer. "madvise cleanup" (Lorenzo Stoakes) does quite a lot of cleanup/maintenance work in the madvise() code. "madvise anon_name cleanups" (Vlastimil Babka) provides additional cleanups on top or Lorenzo's effort. "Implement numa node notifier" (Oscar Salvador) creates a standalone notifier for NUMA node memory state changes. Previously these were lumped under the more general memory on/offline notifier. "Make MIGRATE_ISOLATE a standalone bit" (Zi Yan) cleans up the pageblock isolation code and fixes a potential issue which doesn't seem to cause any problems in practice. "selftests/damon: add python and drgn based DAMON sysfs functionality tests" (SeongJae Park) adds additional drgn- and python-based DAMON selftests which are more comprehensive than the existing selftest suite.

"mm/damon: add trace events for auto-tuned monitoring intervals and DAMOS quota" (SeongJae Park) adds some tracepoints to some DAMON auto-tuning code.

"mm: per-node proactive reclaim" (Davidlohr Bueso) implements a per-node control of proactive reclaim - beyond the current memcg-based implementation. "mm/damon: remove damon_callback" (SeongJae Park) replaces the damon_callback interface with a more general and powerful damon_call()+damos_walk() interface. "mm/mremap: permit mremap() move of multiple VMAs" (Lorenzo Stoakes) implements a number of mremap cleanups (of course) in preparation for adding new mremap() functionality: newly permit the remapping of multiple VMAs when the user is specifying MREMAP_FIXED. It still excludes some specialized situations where this cannot be performed reliably. "drop hugetlb_free_pgd_range()" (Anthony Yznaga) switches some sparc hugetlb code over to the generic version and removes the thus-unneeded hugetlb_free_pgd_range(). "mm/damon/sysfs: support periodic and automated stats update" (SeongJae Park) augments the present userspace-requested update of DAMON sysfs monitoring files. Automatic update is now provided, along with a tunable to control the update interval. "Some randome fixes and cleanups to swapfile" (Kemeng Shi) does what is claims. "mm: introduce snapshot_page" (Luiz Capitulino and David Hildenbrand) provides (and uses) a means by which debug-style functions can grab a copy of a pageframe and inspect it locklessly without tripping over the races inherent in operating on the live pageframe directly. "use per-vma locks for /proc/pid/maps reads" (Suren Baghdasaryan) addresses the large contention issues which can be triggered by reads from that procfs file.

Pull ftrace updates from Steven Rostedt:

 - Keep track of when fgraph_ops are registered or not

   Keep accounting of when fgraph_ops are registered as if a fgraph_ops
   is registered twice it can mess up the accounting and it will not
   work as expected later. Trigger a warning if something registers it
   twice as to catch bugs before they are found by things just not
   working as expected.

 - Make DYNAMIC_FTRACE always enabled for architectures that support it

   As static ftrace (where all functions are always traced) is very
   expensive and only exists to help architectures support ftrace, do
   not make it an option. As soon as an architecture supports
   DYNAMIC_FTRACE make it use it. This simplifies the code.

 - Remove redundant config HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT_RECORD

   The CONFIG_HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT was added to help simplify the
   DYNAMIC_FTRACE work, but now every architecture that implements
   DYNAMIC_FTRACE also has HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT set too, making it
   redundant with the HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE.

 - Make pid_ptr string size match the comment

   In print_graph_proc() the pid_ptr string is of size 11, but the
   comment says /* sign + log10(MAX_INT) + '\0' */ which is actually 12.

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
 "Core & protocols:

   - Wrap datapath globals into net_aligned_data, to avoid false sharing

   - Preserve MSG_ZEROCOPY in forwarding (e.g. out of a container)

   - Add SO_INQ and SCM_INQ support to AF_UNIX

   - Add SIOCINQ support to AF_VSOCK

   - Add TCP_MAXSEG sockopt to MPTCP

   - Add IPv6 force_forwarding sysctl to enable forwarding per interface

   - Make TCP validation of whether packet fully fits in the receive
     window and the rcv_buf more strict. With increased use of HW
     aggregation a single "packet" can be multiple 100s of kB

   - Add MSG_MORE flag to optimize large TCP transmissions via sockmap,
     improves latency up to 33% for sockmap users

   - Convert TCP send queue handling from tasklet to BH workque

   - Improve BPF iteration over TCP sockets to see each socket exactly
     once

   - Remove obsolete and unused TCP RFC3517/RFC6675 loss recovery code

   - Support enabling kernel threads for NAPI processing on per-NAPI
     instance basis rather than a whole device. Fully stop the kernel
     NAPI thread when threaded NAPI gets disabled. Previously thread
     would stick around until ifdown due to tricky synchronization

   - Allow multicast routing to take effect on locally-generated packets

   - Add output interface argument for End.X in segment routing

   - MCTP: add support for gateway routing, improve bind() handling

   - Don't require rtnl_lock when fetching an IPv6 neighbor over Netlink

   - Add a new neighbor flag ("extern_valid"), which cedes refresh
     responsibilities to userspace. This is needed for EVPN multi-homing
     where a neighbor entry for a multi-homed host needs to be synced
     across all the VTEPs among which the host is multi-homed

   - Support NUD_PERMANENT for proxy neighbor entries

   - Add a new queuing discipline for IETF RFC9332 DualQ Coupled AQM

   - Add sequence numbers to netconsole messages. Unregister
     netconsole's console when all net targets are removed. Code
     refactoring. Add a number of selftests

   - Align IPSec inbound SA lookup to RFC 4301. Only SPI and protocol
     should be used for an inbound SA lookup

   - Support inspecting ref_tracker state via DebugFS

   - Don't force bonding advertisement frames tx to ~333 ms boundaries.
     Add broadcast_neighbor option to send ARP/ND on all bonded links

   - Allow providing upcall pid for the 'execute' command in openvswitch

   - Remove DCCP support from Netfilter's conntrack

   - Disallow multiple packet duplications in the queuing layer

   - Prevent use of deprecated iptables code on PREEMPT_RT

  Driver API:

   - Support RSS and hashing configuration over ethtool Netlink

   - Add dedicated ethtool callbacks for getting and setting hashing
     fields

     Power-over-Ethernet. Generate Netlink events for overcurrent etc

   - Support DPLL phase offset monitoring across all device inputs.
     Support providing clock reference and SYNC over separate DPLL
     inputs

   - Support traffic classes in devlink rate API for bandwidth
     management

   - Remove rtnl_lock dependency from UDP tunnel port configuration

   It now lives in lib/crc/$(SRCARCH)/ rather than arch/$(SRCARCH)/lib/,
   and it is no longer artificially split into separate generic and arch
   modules. This allows better inlining and dead code elimination

   The generic CRC code is also no longer exported, simplifying the API.
   (This mirrors the similar changes to SHA-1 and SHA-2 in lib/crypto/,
   which can be found in the "Crypto library updates" pull request)

 - Improve crc32c() performance on newer x86_64 CPUs on long messages by
   enabling the VPCLMULQDQ optimized code

 - Simplify the crypto_shash wrappers for crc32_le() and crc32c()

   Register just one shash algorithm for each that uses the (fully
   optimized) library functions, instead of unnecessarily providing
   direct access to the generic CRC code

 - Remove unused and obsolete drivers for hardware CRC engines

 - Remove CRC-32 combination functions that are no longer used

 - Add kerneldoc for crc32_le(), crc32_be(), and crc32c()

 - Convert the crc32() macro to an inline function

Patch series "drop hugetlb_free_pgd_range()".

For all architectures that support hugetlb except for sparc,
hugetlb_free_pgd_range() just calls free_pgd_range().  It turns out the
sparc implementation is essentially identical to free_pgd_range() and can
be removed.  Remove it and update free_pgtables() to treat hugetlb VMAs
the same as others.


This patch (of 3):

The sparc implementation of hugetlb_free_pgd_range() is identical to
free_pgd_range() with the exception of checking for and skipping possible
leaf entries at the PUD and PMD levels.

These checks are unnecessary because any huge pages have been freed and
their PTEs cleared by the time page tables needed to map them are freed. 
While some huge page sizes do populate the page table with multiple PTEs,
they are correctly cleared by huge_ptep_get_and_clear().

To verify this, libhugetlbfs tests were run for 64K, 8M, and 256M page
sizes with an instrumented kernel on a qemu guest modified to support the
256M page size.  The same tests were used to verify no regressions after
applying this patch and were also run on x86 for both 2M and 1G page
sizes.
