Pull more power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "These are cpufreq fixes and cleanups on top of the material merged
  previously, a power management core code fix and updates of the
  runtime PM framework including unit tests, documentation updates and
  introduction of auto-cleanup macros for runtime PM "resume and get"
  and "get without resuming" operations.

  Specifics:

   - Make cpufreq drivers setting the default CPU transition latency to
     CPUFREQ_ETERNAL specify a proper default transition latency value
     instead which addresses a regression introduced during the 6.6
     cycle that broke CPUFREQ_ETERNAL handling (Rafael Wysocki)

   - Make the cpufreq CPPC driver use a proper transition delay value
     when CPUFREQ_ETERNAL is returned by cppc_get_transition_latency()
     to indicate an error condition (Rafael Wysocki)

   - Make cppc_get_transition_latency() return a negative error code to
     indicate error conditions instead of using CPUFREQ_ETERNAL for this
     purpose and drop CPUFREQ_ETERNAL that has no other users (Rafael
     Wysocki, Gopi Krishna Menon)

   - Fix device leak in the mediatek cpufreq driver (Johan Hovold)

   - Set target frequency on all CPUs sharing a policy during frequency
     updates in the tegra186 cpufreq driver and make it initialize all
     cores to max frequencies (Aaron Kling)

   - Rust cpufreq helper cleanup (Thorsten Blum)

   - Make pm_runtime_put*() family of functions return 1 when the given
     device is already suspended which is consistent with the
     documentation (Brian Norris)

   - Add basic kunit tests for runtime PM API contracts and update
     return values in kerneldoc comments for the runtime PM API (Brian
     Norris, Dan Carpenter)

   - Add auto-cleanup macros for runtime PM "resume and get" and "get
     without resume" operations, use one of them in the PCI core and
     drop the existing "free" macro introduced for similar purpose, but
     somewhat cumbersome to use (Rafael Wysocki)

   - Make the core power management code avoid waiting on device links
     marked as SYNC_STATE_ONLY which is consistent with the handling of
     those device links elsewhere (Pin-yen Lin)"

Pull more RISC-V updates from Paul Walmsley:

 - Support for the RISC-V-standardized RPMI interface.

   RPMI is a platform management communication mechanism between OSes
   running on application processors, and a remote platform management
   processor. Similar to ARM SCMI, TI SCI, etc. This includes irqchip,
   mailbox, and clk changes.

 - Support for the RISC-V-standardized MPXY SBI extension.

   MPXY is a RISC-V-specific standard implementing a shared memory
   mailbox between S-mode operating systems (e.g., Linux) and M-mode
   firmware (e.g., OpenSBI). It is part of this PR since one of its use
   cases is to enable M-mode firmware to act as a single RPMI client for
   all RPMI activity on a core (including S-mode RPMI activity).
   Includes a mailbox driver.

 - Some ACPI-related updates to enable the use of RPMI and MPXY.

 - The addition of Linux-wide memcpy_{from,to}_le32() static inline
   functions, for RPMI use.

 - An ACPI Kconfig change to enable boot logos on any ACPI-using
   architecture (including RISC-V)

 - A RISC-V defconfig change to add GPIO keyboard and event device
   support, for front panel shutdown or reboot buttons

<title>drivers/base: move memory_block_add_nid() into the caller</title>

Now the node id only needs to be set for early memory, so move
memory_block_add_nid() into the caller and rename it into
memory_block_add_nid_early().  This allows us to further simplify the code
by dropping the 'context' argument to
do_register_memory_block_under_node().

The sysfs attributes for memory blocks require the node ID to be set and
initialized, so move the node activation before adding new memory blocks. 
This also has the nice side effect that the BUG_ON() can be converted into
a WARN_ON() as we now can handle registration errors.

Patch series "mm/memory_hotplug: fixup crash during uevent handling", v4.

we have some udev rules trying to read the sysfs attribute 'valid_zones'
during an memory 'add' event, causing a crash in zone_for_pfn_range(). 
Debugging found that mem-&gt;nid was set to NUMA_NO_NODE, which crashed in
NODE_DATA(nid).  Further analysis revealed that we're running into a race
with udev event processing: add_memory_resource() has this function calls:

1) __try_online_node()
2) arch_add_memory()
3) create_memory_block_devices()
  -&gt; calls device_register() -&gt; memory 'add' event
4) node_set_online()/__register_one_node()
  -&gt; calls device_register() -&gt; node 'add' event
5) register_memory_blocks_under_node()
  -&gt; sets mem-&gt;nid

Which, to the uninitated, is ... weird ...

Why do we try to online the node in 1), but only register the node in 4)
_after_ we have created the memory blocks in 3) ?  And why do we set the
'nid' value in 5), when the uevent (which might need to see the correct
'nid' value) is sent out in 3) ?  There must be a reason, I'm sure ...

So here's a small patchset to fixup uevent ordering.  The first patch adds
a 'nid' parameter to add_memory_blocks() (to avoid mem-&gt;nid being
initialized with NUMA_NO_NODE), and the second patch reshuffles the code
in add_memory_resource() to fully initialize the node prior to calling
create_memory_block_devices() so that the node is valid at that time and
uevent processing will see correct values in sysfs.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:

 - "mm, swap: improve cluster scan strategy" from Kairui Song improves
   performance and reduces the failure rate of swap cluster allocation

 - "support large align and nid in Rust allocators" from Vitaly Wool
   permits Rust allocators to set NUMA node and large alignment when
   perforning slub and vmalloc reallocs

 - "mm/damon/vaddr: support stat-purpose DAMOS" from Yueyang Pan extend
   DAMOS_STAT's handling of the DAMON operations sets for virtual
   address spaces for ops-level DAMOS filters

 - "execute PROCMAP_QUERY ioctl under per-vma lock" from Suren
   Baghdasaryan reduces mmap_lock contention during reads of
   /proc/pid/maps

 - "mm/mincore: minor clean up for swap cache checking" from Kairui Song
   performs some cleanup in the swap code

 - "mm: vm_normal_page*() improvements" from David Hildenbrand provides
   code cleanup in the pagemap code

 - "add persistent huge zero folio support" from Pankaj Raghav provides
   a block layer speedup by optionalls making the
   huge_zero_pagepersistent, instead of releasing it when its refcount
   falls to zero

 - "kho: fixes and cleanups" from Mike Rapoport adds a few touchups to
   the recently added Kexec Handover feature

 - "mm: make mm-&gt;flags a bitmap and 64-bit on all arches" from Lorenzo
   Stoakes turns mm_struct.flags into a bitmap. To end the constant
   struggle with space shortage on 32-bit conflicting with 64-bit's
   needs

 - "mm/swapfile.c and swap.h cleanup" from Chris Li cleans up some swap
   code

 - "selftests/mm: Fix false positives and skip unsupported tests" from
   Donet Tom fixes a few things in our selftests code

 - "prctl: extend PR_SET_THP_DISABLE to only provide THPs when advised"
   from David Hildenbrand "allows individual processes to opt-out of
   THP=always into THP=madvise, without affecting other workloads on the
   system".

   It's a long story - the [1/N] changelog spells out the considerations

 - "Add and use memdesc_flags_t" from Matthew Wilcox gets us started on
   the memdesc project. Please see

      https://kernelnewbies.org/MatthewWilcox/Memdescs and
      https://blogs.oracle.com/linux/post/introducing-memdesc

 - "Tiny optimization for large read operations" from Chi Zhiling
   improves the efficiency of the pagecache read path

 - "Better split_huge_page_test result check" from Zi Yan improves our
   folio splitting selftest code

 - "test that rmap behaves as expected" from Wei Yang adds some rmap
   selftests

 - "remove write_cache_pages()" from Christoph Hellwig removes that
   function and converts its two remaining callers

 - "selftests/mm: uffd-stress fixes" from Dev Jain fixes some UFFD
   selftests issues

 - "introduce kernel file mapped folios" from Boris Burkov introduces
   the concept of "kernel file pages". Using these permits btrfs to
   account its metadata pages to the root cgroup, rather than to the
   cgroups of random inappropriate tasks

 - "mm/pageblock: improve readability of some pageblock handling" from
   Wei Yang provides some readability improvements to the page allocator
   code

 - "mm/damon: support ARM32 with LPAE" from SeongJae Park teaches DAMON
   to understand arm32 highmem

 - "tools: testing: Use existing atomic.h for vma/maple tests" from
   Brendan Jackman performs some code cleanups and deduplication under
   tools/testing/

 - "maple_tree: Fix testing for 32bit compiles" from Liam Howlett fixes
   a couple of 32-bit issues in tools/testing/radix-tree.c

 - "kasan: unify kasan_enabled() and remove arch-specific
   implementations" from Sabyrzhan Tasbolatov moves KASAN arch-specific
   initialization code into a common arch-neutral implementation

 - "mm: remove zpool" from Johannes Weiner removes zspool - an
   indirection layer which now only redirects to a single thing
   (zsmalloc)

 - "mm: task_stack: Stack handling cleanups" from Pasha Tatashin makes a
   couple of cleanups in the fork code

 - "mm: remove nth_page()" from David Hildenbrand makes rather a lot of
   adjustments at various nth_page() callsites, eventually permitting
   the removal of that undesirable helper function

 - "introduce kasan.write_only option in hw-tags" from Yeoreum Yun
   creates a KASAN read-only mode for ARM, using that architecture's
   memory tagging feature. It is felt that a read-only mode KASAN is
   suitable for use in production systems rather than debug-only

 - "mm: hugetlb: cleanup hugetlb folio allocation" from Kefeng Wang does
   some tidying in the hugetlb folio allocation code

 - "mm: establish const-correctness for pointer parameters" from Max
   Kellermann makes quite a number of the MM API functions more accurate
   about the constness of their arguments. This was getting in the way
   of subsystems (in this case CEPH) when they attempt to improving
   their own const/non-const accuracy

 - "Cleanup free_pages() misuse" from Vishal Moola fixes a number of
   code sites which were confused over when to use free_pages() vs
   __free_pages()

 - "Add Rust abstraction for Maple Trees" from Alice Ryhl makes the
   mapletree code accessible to Rust. Required by nouveau and by its
   forthcoming successor: the new Rust Nova driver

 - "selftests/mm: split_huge_page_test: split_pte_mapped_thp
   improvements" from David Hildenbrand adds a fix and some cleanups to
   the thp selftesting code

 - "mm, swap: introduce swap table as swap cache (phase I)" from Chris
   Li and Kairui Song is the first step along the path to implementing
   "swap tables" - a new approach to swap allocation and state tracking
   which is expected to yield speed and space improvements. This
   patchset itself yields a 5-20% performance benefit in some situations

 - "Some ptdesc cleanups" from Matthew Wilcox utilizes the new memdesc
   layer to clean up the ptdesc code a little

 - "Fix va_high_addr_switch.sh test failure" from Chunyu Hu fixes some
   issues in our 5-level pagetable selftesting code

 - "Minor fixes for memory allocation profiling" from Suren Baghdasaryan
   addresses a couple of minor issues in relatively new memory
   allocation profiling feature

 - "Small cleanups" from Matthew Wilcox has a few cleanups in
   preparation for more memdesc work

 - "mm/damon: add addr_unit for DAMON_LRU_SORT and DAMON_RECLAIM" from
   Quanmin Yan makes some changes to DAMON in furtherance of supporting
   arm highmem

 - "selftests/mm: Add -Wunreachable-code and fix warnings" from Muhammad
   Anjum adds that compiler check to selftests code and fixes the
   fallout, by removing dead code

 - "Improvements to Victim Process Thawing and OOM Reaper Traversal
   Order" from zhongjinji makes a number of improvements in the OOM
   killer: mainly thawing a more appropriate group of victim threads so
   they can release resources

 - "mm/damon: misc fixups and improvements for 6.18" from SeongJae Park
   is a bunch of small and unrelated fixups for DAMON

 - "mm/damon: define and use DAMON initialization check function" from
   SeongJae Park implement reliability and maintainability improvements
   to a recently-added bug fix

 - "mm/damon/stat: expose auto-tuned intervals and non-idle ages" from
   SeongJae Park provides additional transparency to userspace clients
   of the DAMON_STAT information

 - "Expand scope of khugepaged anonymous collapse" from Dev Jain removes
   some constraints on khubepaged's collapsing of anon VMAs. It also
   increases the success rate of MADV_COLLAPSE against an anon vma

 - "mm: do not assume file == vma-&gt;vm_file in compat_vma_mmap_prepare()"
   from Lorenzo Stoakes moves us further towards removal of
   file_operations.mmap(). This patchset concentrates upon clearing up
   the treatment of stacked filesystems

 - "mm: Improve mlock tracking for large folios" from Kiryl Shutsemau
   provides some fixes and improvements to mlock's tracking of large
   folios. /proc/meminfo's "Mlocked" field became more accurate

 - "mm/ksm: Fix incorrect accounting of KSM counters during fork" from
   Donet Tom fixes several user-visible KSM stats inaccuracies across
   forks and adds selftest code to verify these counters

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:

 - "mm, swap: improve cluster scan strategy" from Kairui Song improves
   performance and reduces the failure rate of swap cluster allocation

 - "support large align and nid in Rust allocators" from Vitaly Wool
   permits Rust allocators to set NUMA node and large alignment when
   perforning slub and vmalloc reallocs

 - "mm/damon/vaddr: support stat-purpose DAMOS" from Yueyang Pan extend
   DAMOS_STAT's handling of the DAMON operations sets for virtual
   address spaces for ops-level DAMOS filters

 - "execute PROCMAP_QUERY ioctl under per-vma lock" from Suren
   Baghdasaryan reduces mmap_lock contention during reads of
   /proc/pid/maps

 - "mm/mincore: minor clean up for swap cache checking" from Kairui Song
   performs some cleanup in the swap code

 - "mm: vm_normal_page*() improvements" from David Hildenbrand provides
   code cleanup in the pagemap code

 - "add persistent huge zero folio support" from Pankaj Raghav provides
   a block layer speedup by optionalls making the
   huge_zero_pagepersistent, instead of releasing it when its refcount
   falls to zero

 - "kho: fixes and cleanups" from Mike Rapoport adds a few touchups to
   the recently added Kexec Handover feature

 - "mm: make mm-&gt;flags a bitmap and 64-bit on all arches" from Lorenzo
   Stoakes turns mm_struct.flags into a bitmap. To end the constant
   struggle with space shortage on 32-bit conflicting with 64-bit's
   needs

 - "mm/swapfile.c and swap.h cleanup" from Chris Li cleans up some swap
   code

 - "selftests/mm: Fix false positives and skip unsupported tests" from
   Donet Tom fixes a few things in our selftests code

 - "prctl: extend PR_SET_THP_DISABLE to only provide THPs when advised"
   from David Hildenbrand "allows individual processes to opt-out of
   THP=always into THP=madvise, without affecting other workloads on the
   system".

   It's a long story - the [1/N] changelog spells out the considerations

 - "Add and use memdesc_flags_t" from Matthew Wilcox gets us started on
   the memdesc project. Please see

      https://kernelnewbies.org/MatthewWilcox/Memdescs and
      https://blogs.oracle.com/linux/post/introducing-memdesc

 - "Tiny optimization for large read operations" from Chi Zhiling
   improves the efficiency of the pagecache read path

 - "Better split_huge_page_test result check" from Zi Yan improves our
   folio splitting selftest code

 - "test that rmap behaves as expected" from Wei Yang adds some rmap
   selftests

 - "remove write_cache_pages()" from Christoph Hellwig removes that
   function and converts its two remaining callers

 - "selftests/mm: uffd-stress fixes" from Dev Jain fixes some UFFD
   selftests issues

 - "introduce kernel file mapped folios" from Boris Burkov introduces
   the concept of "kernel file pages". Using these permits btrfs to
   account its metadata pages to the root cgroup, rather than to the
   cgroups of random inappropriate tasks

 - "mm/pageblock: improve readability of some pageblock handling" from
   Wei Yang provides some readability improvements to the page allocator
   code

 - "mm/damon: support ARM32 with LPAE" from SeongJae Park teaches DAMON
   to understand arm32 highmem

 - "tools: testing: Use existing atomic.h for vma/maple tests" from
   Brendan Jackman performs some code cleanups and deduplication under
   tools/testing/

 - "maple_tree: Fix testing for 32bit compiles" from Liam Howlett fixes
   a couple of 32-bit issues in tools/testing/radix-tree.c

 - "kasan: unify kasan_enabled() and remove arch-specific
   implementations" from Sabyrzhan Tasbolatov moves KASAN arch-specific
   initialization code into a common arch-neutral implementation

 - "mm: remove zpool" from Johannes Weiner removes zspool - an
   indirection layer which now only redirects to a single thing
   (zsmalloc)

 - "mm: task_stack: Stack handling cleanups" from Pasha Tatashin makes a
   couple of cleanups in the fork code

 - "mm: remove nth_page()" from David Hildenbrand makes rather a lot of
   adjustments at various nth_page() callsites, eventually permitting
   the removal of that undesirable helper function

 - "introduce kasan.write_only option in hw-tags" from Yeoreum Yun
   creates a KASAN read-only mode for ARM, using that architecture's
   memory tagging feature. It is felt that a read-only mode KASAN is
   suitable for use in production systems rather than debug-only

 - "mm: hugetlb: cleanup hugetlb folio allocation" from Kefeng Wang does
   some tidying in the hugetlb folio allocation code

 - "mm: establish const-correctness for pointer parameters" from Max
   Kellermann makes quite a number of the MM API functions more accurate
   about the constness of their arguments. This was getting in the way
   of subsystems (in this case CEPH) when they attempt to improving
   their own const/non-const accuracy

 - "Cleanup free_pages() misuse" from Vishal Moola fixes a number of
   code sites which were confused over when to use free_pages() vs
   __free_pages()

 - "Add Rust abstraction for Maple Trees" from Alice Ryhl makes the
   mapletree code accessible to Rust. Required by nouveau and by its
   forthcoming successor: the new Rust Nova driver

 - "selftests/mm: split_huge_page_test: split_pte_mapped_thp
   improvements" from David Hildenbrand adds a fix and some cleanups to
   the thp selftesting code

 - "mm, swap: introduce swap table as swap cache (phase I)" from Chris
   Li and Kairui Song is the first step along the path to implementing
   "swap tables" - a new approach to swap allocation and state tracking
   which is expected to yield speed and space improvements. This
   patchset itself yields a 5-20% performance benefit in some situations

 - "Some ptdesc cleanups" from Matthew Wilcox utilizes the new memdesc
   layer to clean up the ptdesc code a little

 - "Fix va_high_addr_switch.sh test failure" from Chunyu Hu fixes some
   issues in our 5-level pagetable selftesting code

 - "Minor fixes for memory allocation profiling" from Suren Baghdasaryan
   addresses a couple of minor issues in relatively new memory
   allocation profiling feature

 - "Small cleanups" from Matthew Wilcox has a few cleanups in
   preparation for more memdesc work

 - "mm/damon: add addr_unit for DAMON_LRU_SORT and DAMON_RECLAIM" from
   Quanmin Yan makes some changes to DAMON in furtherance of supporting
   arm highmem

 - "selftests/mm: Add -Wunreachable-code and fix warnings" from Muhammad
   Anjum adds that compiler check to selftests code and fixes the
   fallout, by removing dead code

 - "Improvements to Victim Process Thawing and OOM Reaper Traversal
   Order" from zhongjinji makes a number of improvements in the OOM
   killer: mainly thawing a more appropriate group of victim threads so
   they can release resources

 - "mm/damon: misc fixups and improvements for 6.18" from SeongJae Park
   is a bunch of small and unrelated fixups for DAMON

 - "mm/damon: define and use DAMON initialization check function" from
   SeongJae Park implement reliability and maintainability improvements
   to a recently-added bug fix

 - "mm/damon/stat: expose auto-tuned intervals and non-idle ages" from
   SeongJae Park provides additional transparency to userspace clients
   of the DAMON_STAT information

 - "Expand scope of khugepaged anonymous collapse" from Dev Jain removes
   some constraints on khubepaged's collapsing of anon VMAs. It also
   increases the success rate of MADV_COLLAPSE against an anon vma

 - "mm: do not assume file == vma-&gt;vm_file in compat_vma_mmap_prepare()"
   from Lorenzo Stoakes moves us further towards removal of
   file_operations.mmap(). This patchset concentrates upon clearing up
   the treatment of stacked filesystems

 - "mm: Improve mlock tracking for large folios" from Kiryl Shutsemau
   provides some fixes and improvements to mlock's tracking of large
   folios. /proc/meminfo's "Mlocked" field became more accurate

 - "mm/ksm: Fix incorrect accounting of KSM counters during fork" from
   Donet Tom fixes several user-visible KSM stats inaccuracies across
   forks and adds selftest code to verify these counters

 - "mm_slot: fix the usage of mm_slot_entry" from Wei Yang addresses
   some potential but presently benign issues in KSM's mm_slot handling
