After commit a08c7193e4f1 "mm/filemap: remove hugetlb special casing in
filemap.c", hugetlb pages are stored in the page cache in base page sized
indexes.  This leads to multi index stores in the xarray which is only
supporting through CONFIG_XARRAY_MULTI.  The other page cache user of
multi index stores ,THP, selects XARRAY_MULTI.  Have CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE
follow this behavior as well to avoid the BUG() with a CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE
&amp;&amp; !CONFIG_XARRAY_MULTI config.

Pull ia64 removal and asm-generic updates from Arnd Bergmann:

 - The ia64 architecture gets its well-earned retirement as planned,
   now that there is one last (mostly) working release that will be
   maintained as an LTS kernel.

 - The architecture specific system call tables are updated for the
   added map_shadow_stack() syscall and to remove references to the
   long-gone sys_lookup_dcookie() syscall.

* tag 'asm-generic-6.7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arnd/asm-generic:
  hexagon: Remove unusable symbols from the ptrace.h uapi

<title>arch: Remove Itanium (IA-64) architecture</title>

<id>cf8e8658100d4eae80ce9b21f7a81cb024dd5057</id>
<content type='text'>
The Itanium architecture is obsolete, and an informal survey [0] reveals
that any residual use of Itanium hardware in production is mostly HP-UX
or OpenVMS based. The use of Linux on Itanium appears to be limited to
enthusiasts that occasionally boot a fresh Linux kernel to see whether
things are still working as intended, and perhaps to churn out some
distro packages that are rarely used in practice.

None of the original companies behind Itanium still produce or support
any hardware or software for the architecture, and it is listed as
'Orphaned' in the MAINTAINERS file, as apparently, none of the engineers
that contributed on behalf of those companies (nor anyone else, for that
matter) have been willing to support or maintain the architecture
upstream or even be responsible for applying the odd fix. The Intel
firmware team removed all IA-64 support from the Tianocore/EDK2
reference implementation of EFI in 2018. (Itanium is the original
architecture for which EFI was developed, and the way Linux supports it
deviates significantly from other architectures.) Some distros, such as
Debian and Gentoo, still maintain [unofficial] ia64 ports, but many have
dropped support years ago.

While the argument is being made [1] that there is a 'for the common
good' angle to being able to build and run existing projects such as the
Grid Community Toolkit [2] on Itanium for interoperability testing, the
fact remains that none of those projects are known to be deployed on
Linux/ia64, and very few people actually have access to such a system in
the first place. Even if there were ways imaginable in which Linux/ia64
could be put to good use today, what matters is whether anyone is
actually doing that, and this does not appear to be the case.

There are no emulators widely available, and so boot testing Itanium is
generally infeasible for ordinary contributors. GCC still supports IA-64
but its compile farm [3] no longer has any IA-64 machines. GLIBC would
like to get rid of IA-64 [4] too because it would permit some overdue
code cleanups. In summary, the benefits to the ecosystem of having IA-64
be part of it are mostly theoretical, whereas the maintenance overhead
of keeping it supported is real.

So let's rip off the band aid, and remove the IA-64 arch code entirely.
This follows the timeline proposed by the Debian/ia64 maintainer [5],
which removes support in a controlled manner, leaving IA-64 in a known
good state in the most recent LTS release. Other projects will follow
once the kernel support is removed.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:

 - Some swap cleanups from Ma Wupeng ("fix WARN_ON in
   add_to_avail_list")

 - Peter Xu has a series (mm/gup: Unify hugetlb, speed up thp") which
   reduces the special-case code for handling hugetlb pages in GUP. It
   also speeds up GUP handling of transparent hugepages.

 - Peng Zhang provides some maple tree speedups ("Optimize the fast path
   of mas_store()").

 - Sergey Senozhatsky has improved te performance of zsmalloc during
   compaction (zsmalloc: small compaction improvements").

 - Domenico Cerasuolo has developed additional selftest code for zswap
   ("selftests: cgroup: add zswap test program").

 - xu xin has doe some work on KSM's handling of zero pages. These
   changes are mainly to enable the user to better understand the
   effectiveness of KSM's treatment of zero pages ("ksm: support
   tracking KSM-placed zero-pages").

 - Jeff Xu has fixes the behaviour of memfd's
   MEMFD_NOEXEC_SCOPE_NOEXEC_ENFORCED sysctl ("mm/memfd: fix sysctl
   MEMFD_NOEXEC_SCOPE_NOEXEC_ENFORCED").

 - David Howells has fixed an fscache optimization ("mm, netfs, fscache:
   Stop read optimisation when folio removed from pagecache").

 - Axel Rasmussen has given userfaultfd the ability to simulate memory
   poisoning ("add UFFDIO_POISON to simulate memory poisoning with
   UFFD").

 - Miaohe Lin has contributed some routine maintenance work on the
   memory-failure code ("mm: memory-failure: remove unneeded PageHuge()
   check").

 - Peng Zhang has contributed some maintenance work on the maple tree
   code ("Improve the validation for maple tree and some cleanup").

 - Hugh Dickins has optimized the collapsing of shmem or file pages into
   THPs ("mm: free retracted page table by RCU").

 - Jiaqi Yan has a patch series which permits us to use the healthy
   subpages within a hardware poisoned huge page for general purposes
   ("Improve hugetlbfs read on HWPOISON hugepages").

 - Kemeng Shi has done some maintenance work on the pagetable-check code
   ("Remove unused parameters in page_table_check").

 - More folioification work from Matthew Wilcox ("More filesystem folio
   conversions for 6.6"), ("Followup folio conversions for zswap"). And
   from ZhangPeng ("Convert several functions in page_io.c to use a
   folio").

 - page_ext cleanups from Kemeng Shi ("minor cleanups for page_ext").

 - Baoquan He has converted some architectures to use the
   GENERIC_IOREMAP ioremap()/iounmap() code ("mm: ioremap: Convert
   architectures to take GENERIC_IOREMAP way").

 - Anshuman Khandual has optimized arm64 tlb shootdown ("arm64: support
   batched/deferred tlb shootdown during page reclamation/migration").

 - Better maple tree lockdep checking from Liam Howlett ("More strict
   maple tree lockdep"). Liam also developed some efficiency
   improvements ("Reduce preallocations for maple tree").

 - Cleanup and optimization to the secondary IOMMU TLB invalidation,
   from Alistair Popple ("Invalidate secondary IOMMU TLB on permission
   upgrade").

 - Ryan Roberts fixes some arm64 MM selftest issues ("selftests/mm fixes
   for arm64").

 - Kemeng Shi provides some maintenance work on the compaction code
   ("Two minor cleanups for compaction").

 - Some reduction in mmap_lock pressure from Matthew Wilcox ("Handle
   most file-backed faults under the VMA lock").

 - Aneesh Kumar contributes code to use the vmemmap optimization for DAX
   on ppc64, under some circumstances ("Add support for DAX vmemmap
   optimization for ppc64").

 - page-ext cleanups from Kemeng Shi ("add page_ext_data to get client
   data in page_ext"), ("minor cleanups to page_ext header").

 - Some zswap cleanups from Johannes Weiner ("mm: zswap: three
   cleanups").

 - kmsan cleanups from ZhangPeng ("minor cleanups for kmsan").

<title>mm/vmemmap optimization: split hugetlb and devdax vmemmap optimization</title>

Arm disabled hugetlb vmemmap optimization [1] because hugetlb vmemmap
optimization includes an update of both the permissions (writeable to
read-only) and the output address (pfn) of the vmemmap ptes.  That is not
supported without unmapping of pte(marking it invalid) by some
architectures.

With DAX vmemmap optimization we don't require such pte updates and
architectures can enable DAX vmemmap optimization while having hugetlb
vmemmap optimization disabled.  Hence split DAX optimization support into
a different config.

s390, loongarch and riscv don't have devdax support.  So the DAX config is
not enabled for them.  With this change, arm64 should be able to select
DAX optimization

<title>mm: make MEMFD_CREATE into a selectable config option</title>

The memfd_create() syscall, enabled by CONFIG_MEMFD_CREATE, is useful on
its own even when not required by CONFIG_TMPFS or CONFIG_HUGETLBFS.

Split it into its own proper bool option that can be enabled by users.

Move that option into mm/ where the code itself also lies.  Also add
"select" statements to CONFIG_TMPFS and CONFIG_HUGETLBFS so they
automatically enable CONFIG_MEMFD_CREATE as before.

<title>tmpfs,xattr: enable limited user extended attributes</title>

<id>2daf18a7884dc03d5164ab9c7dc3f2ea70638469</id>
<content type='text'>
Enable "user." extended attributes on tmpfs, limiting them by tracking
the space they occupy, and deducting that space from the limited ispace
(unless tmpfs mounted with nr_inodes=0 to leave that ispace unlimited).

tmpfs inodes and simple xattrs are both unswappable, and have to be in
lowmem on a 32-bit highmem kernel: so the ispace limit is appropriate
for xattrs, without any need for a further mount option.

Add simple_xattr_space() to give approximate but deterministic estimate
of the space taken up by each xattr: with simple_xattrs_free() outputting
the space freed if required (but kernfs and even some tmpfs usages do not
require that, so don't waste time on strlen'ing if not needed).

Security and trusted xattrs were already supported: for consistency and
simplicity, account them from the same pool; though there's a small risk
that a tmpfs with enough space before would now be considered too small.

When extended attributes are used, "df -i" does show more IUsed and less
IFree than can be explained by the inodes: document that (manpage later).

xfstests tests/generic which were not run on tmpfs before but now pass:
020 037 062 070 077 097 103 117 337 377 454 486 523 533 611 618 728
with no new failures.
