This is needed because at least in time-travel the code
can be called directly from the deep architecture and
IRQ handling code.

This code can be called deep in the IRQ handling, for
example, and then cannot normally use kmalloc(). Have
its own pre-allocated memory and use from there instead
so this doesn't occur. Only in the (very rare) case of
memcpy_toio() we'd still need to allocate memory.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
 "The various patchsets are summarized below. Plus of course many
  indivudual patches which are described in their changelogs.

   - "Allocate and free frozen pages" from Matthew Wilcox reorganizes
     the page allocator so we end up with the ability to allocate and
     free zero-refcount pages. So that callers (ie, slab) can avoid a
     refcount inc &amp; dec

   - "Support large folios for tmpfs" from Baolin Wang teaches tmpfs to
     use large folios other than PMD-sized ones

   - "Fix mm/rodata_test" from Petr Tesarik performs some maintenance
     and fixes for this small built-in kernel selftest

   - "mas_anode_descend() related cleanup" from Wei Yang tidies up part
     of the mapletree code

   - "mm: fix format issues and param types" from Keren Sun implements a
     few minor code cleanups

   - "simplify split calculation" from Wei Yang provides a few fixes and
     a test for the mapletree code

   - "mm/vma: make more mmap logic userland testable" from Lorenzo
     Stoakes continues the work of moving vma-related code into the
     (relatively) new mm/vma.c

   - "mm/page_alloc: gfp flags cleanups for alloc_contig_*()" from David
     Hildenbrand cleans up and rationalizes handling of gfp flags in the
     page allocator

   - "readahead: Reintroduce fix for improper RA window sizing" from Jan
     Kara is a second attempt at fixing a readahead window sizing issue.
     It should reduce the amount of unnecessary reading

   - "synchronously scan and reclaim empty user PTE pages" from Qi Zheng
     addresses an issue where "huge" amounts of pte pagetables are
     accumulated:

       https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/cover.1718267194.git.zhengqi.arch@bytedance.com/

     Qi's series addresses this windup by synchronously freeing PTE
     memory within the context of madvise(MADV_DONTNEED)

   - "selftest/mm: Remove warnings found by adding compiler flags" from
     Muhammad Usama Anjum fixes some build warnings in the selftests
     code when optional compiler warnings are enabled

   - "mm: don't use __GFP_HARDWALL when migrating remote pages" from
     David Hildenbrand tightens the allocator's observance of
     __GFP_HARDWALL

   - "pkeys kselftests improvements" from Kevin Brodsky implements
     various fixes and cleanups in the MM selftests code, mainly
     pertaining to the pkeys tests

   - "mm/damon: add sample modules" from SeongJae Park enhances DAMON to
     estimate application working set size

   - "memcg/hugetlb: Rework memcg hugetlb charging" from Joshua Hahn
     provides some cleanups to memcg's hugetlb charging logic

   - "mm/swap_cgroup: remove global swap cgroup lock" from Kairui Song
     removes the global swap cgroup lock. A speedup of 10% for a
     tmpfs-based kernel build was demonstrated

   - "zram: split page type read/write handling" from Sergey Senozhatsky
     has several fixes and cleaups for zram in the area of
     zram_write_page(). A watchdog softlockup warning was eliminated

   - "move pagetable_*_dtor() to __tlb_remove_table()" from Kevin
     Brodsky cleans up the pagetable destructor implementations. A rare
     use-after-free race is fixed

   - "mm/debug: introduce and use VM_WARN_ON_VMG()" from Lorenzo Stoakes
     simplifies and cleans up the debugging code in the VMA merging
     logic

   - "Account page tables at all levels" from Kevin Brodsky cleans up
     and regularizes the pagetable ctor/dtor handling. This results in
     improvements in accounting accuracy

   - "mm/damon: replace most damon_callback usages in sysfs with new
     core functions" from SeongJae Park cleans up and generalizes
     DAMON's sysfs file interface logic

   - "mm/damon: enable page level properties based monitoring" from
     SeongJae Park increases the amount of information which is
     presented in response to DAMOS actions

   - "mm/damon: remove DAMON debugfs interface" from SeongJae Park
     removes DAMON's long-deprecated debugfs interfaces. Thus the
     migration to sysfs is completed

   - "mm/hugetlb: Refactor hugetlb allocation resv accounting" from
     Peter Xu cleans up and generalizes the hugetlb reservation
     accounting

   - "mm: alloc_pages_bulk: small API refactor" from Luiz Capitulino
     removes a never-used feature of the alloc_pages_bulk() interface

   - "mm/damon: extend DAMOS filters for inclusion" from SeongJae Park
     extends DAMOS filters to support not only exclusion (rejecting),
     but also inclusion (allowing) behavior

   - "Add zpdesc memory descriptor for zswap.zpool" from Alex Shi
     introduces a new memory descriptor for zswap.zpool that currently
     overlaps with struct page for now. This is part of the effort to
     reduce the size of struct page and to enable dynamic allocation of
     memory descriptors

   - "mm, swap: rework of swap allocator locks" from Kairui Song redoes
     and simplifies the swap allocator locking. A speedup of 400% was
     demonstrated for one workload. As was a 35% reduction for kernel
     build time with swap-on-zram

   - "mm: update mips to use do_mmap(), make mmap_region() internal"
     from Lorenzo Stoakes reworks MIPS's use of mmap_region() so that
     mmap_region() can be made MM-internal

     MGLRU regressions and otherwise improves MGLRU performance

     Hildenbrand provides various cleanups in the areas of hugetlb
     folios, THP folios and migration

   - "Uncached buffered IO" from Jens Axboe implements the new
     RWF_DONTCACHE flag which provides synchronous dropbehind for
     pagecache reading and writing. To permite userspace to address
     issues with massive buildup of useless pagecache when
     reading/writing fast devices

   - "selftests/mm: virtual_address_range: Reduce memory" from Thomas
     Weißschuh fixes and optimizes some of the MM selftests"

Before SLUB initialization, various subsystems used memblock_alloc to
allocate memory.  In most cases, when memory allocation fails, an
immediate panic is required.  To simplify this behavior and reduce
repetitive checks, introduce `memblock_alloc_or_panic`.  This function
ensures that memory allocation failures result in a panic automatically,
improving code readability and consistency across subsystems that require
this behavior.

ensures that memory allocation failures result in a panic automatically,
improving code readability and consistency across subsystems that require
this behavior.

<title>um: rtc: use RTC time when calculating the alarm</title>

<content type='text'>
The kernel realtime and the current RTC time may have a (small) offset.
Should the kernel time be slightly in the future, then the timeout is
zero. This is problematic in time-travel mode, as a zero timeout can be
correctly configured and time never advances.

Replace the kernel realtime read with a read of the actual persistent
RTC clock. Also, for time-travel, calculate the exact nanoseconds needed
for the clock to advance.

BLK_MQ_F_SHOULD_MERGE is set for all tag_sets except those that purely
process passthrough commands (bsg-lib, ufs tmf, various nvme admin
queues) and thus don't even check the flag.  Remove it to simplify the
driver interface.

<title>Get rid of 'remove_new' relic from platform driver struct</title>

The continual trickle of small conversion patches is grating on me, and
is really not helping.  Just get rid of the 'remove_new' member
function, which is just an alias for the plain 'remove', and had a
comment to that effect:

  /*
   * .remove_new() is a relic from a prototype conversion of .remove().
   * New drivers are supposed to implement .remove(). Once all drivers are
   * converted to not use .remove_new any more, it will be dropped.
   */

This was just a tree-wide 'sed' script that replaced '.remove_new' with
'.remove', with some care taken to turn a subsequent tab into two tabs
to make things line up.

I did do some minimal manual whitespace adjustment for places that used
spaces to line things up.

Then I just removed the old (sic) .remove_new member function, and this
is the end result.  No more unnecessary conversion noise.
