Add Kconfig symbol, asm/mtd-xip.h header and define related macros:
xip_cpu_idle, xip_irqpending, xip_currtime and xip_elapsed_since.
Append .xiptext to the vectors when separate vectors are configured
because otherwise they are appended to the data and data may not even be
executable in XIP configuration.

Pull fchmodat2 system call from Christian Brauner:
 "This adds the fchmodat2() system call. It is a revised version of the
  fchmodat() system call, adding a missing flag argument. Support for
  both AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW and AT_EMPTY_PATH are included.

  Adding this system call revision has been a longstanding request but
  so far has always fallen through the cracks. While the kernel
  implementation of fchmodat() does not have a flag argument the libc
  provided POSIX-compliant fchmodat(3) version does. Both glibc and musl
  have to implement a workaround in order to support AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW
  (see [1] and [2]).

  The workaround is brittle because it relies not just on O_PATH and
  O_NOFOLLOW semantics and procfs magic links but also on our rather
  inconsistent symlink semantics.

  This gives userspace a proper fchmodat2() system call that libcs can
  use to properly implement fchmodat(3) and allows them to get rid of
  their hacks. In this case it will immediately benefit them as the
  current workaround is already defunct because of aformentioned
  inconsistencies.

  In addition to AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW, give userspace the ability to use
  AT_EMPTY_PATH with fchmodat2(). This is already possible with
  fchownat() so there's no reason to not also support it for
  fchmodat2().

  The implementation is simple and comes with selftests. Implementation
  of the system call and wiring up the system call are done as separate
  patches even though they could arguably be one patch. But in case
  there are merge conflicts from other system call additions it can be
  beneficial to have separate patches"

This registers the new fchmodat2 syscall in most places as nuber 452,
with alpha being the exception where it's 562.  I found all these sites
by grepping for fspick, which I assume has found me everything.

Unaligned exception handler is needed in configurations with hardware
support for unaligned access when the load/store exception handler is
enabled because such configurations would still raise an exception on
unaligned access through the instruction bus.

Pull mm updates from Andrew Morton:

 - Yosry Ahmed brought back some cgroup v1 stats in OOM logs

 - Yosry has also eliminated cgroup's atomic rstat flushing

 - Nhat Pham adds the new cachestat() syscall. It provides userspace
   with the ability to query pagecache status - a similar concept to
   mincore() but more powerful and with improved usability

 - Mel Gorman provides more optimizations for compaction, reducing the
   prevalence of page rescanning

 - Lorenzo Stoakes has done some maintanance work on the
   get_user_pages() interface

 - Liam Howlett continues with cleanups and maintenance work to the
   maple tree code. Peng Zhang also does some work on maple tree

 - Johannes Weiner has done some cleanup work on the compaction code

 - David Hildenbrand has contributed additional selftests for

 - Thomas Gleixner has contributed some maintenance and optimization
   work for the vmalloc code

 - Baolin Wang has provided some compaction cleanups,

 - SeongJae Park continues maintenance work on the DAMON code

 - Huang Ying has done some maintenance on the swap code's usage of
   device refcounting

 - Christoph Hellwig has some cleanups for the filemap/directio code

 - Ryan Roberts provides two patch series which yield some
   rationalization of the kernel's access to pte entries - use the
   provided APIs rather than open-coding accesses

 - Lorenzo Stoakes has some fixes to the interaction between pagecache
   and directio access to file mappings

 - John Hubbard has a series of fixes to the MM selftesting code

 - ZhangPeng continues the folio conversion campaign

 - Hugh Dickins has been working on the pagetable handling code, mainly
   with a view to reducing the load on the mmap_lock

 - Catalin Marinas has reduced the arm64 kmalloc() minimum alignment
   from 128 to 8

 - Domenico Cerasuolo has improved the zswap reclaim mechanism by
   reorganizing the LRU management

 - Matthew Wilcox provides some fixups to make gfs2 work better with the

Memory attached to instruction bus of the xtensa CPU is only accessible
for a limited subset of opcodes. Other opcodes generate an exception
with the load/store error cause code. This property complicates use of
such systems. Provide a handler that recognizes and transparently fixes
such exceptions. The following opcodes are recognized when used outside
of FLIX bundles: l32i, l32i.n, l16ui, l16si, l8ui.
