<id>1751f872cc97f992ed5c4c72c55588db1f0021e1</id>

Add the const qualifier to all the ctl_tables in the tree except for
watchdog_hardlockup_sysctl, memory_allocation_profiling_sysctls,
loadpin_sysctl_table and the ones calling register_net_sysctl (./net,
drivers/inifiniband dirs). These are special cases as they use a
registration function with a non-const qualified ctl_table argument or
modify the arrays before passing them on to the registration function.

Constifying ctl_table structs will prevent the modification of
proc_handler function pointers as the arrays would reside in .rodata.
This is made possible after commit 78eb4ea25cd5 ("sysctl: treewide:
constify the ctl_table argument of proc_handlers") constified all the
proc_handlers.

Created this by running an spatch followed by a sed command:
Spatch:
    virtual patch

    @
    depends on !(file in "net")
    disable optional_qualifier
    @

    identifier table_name != {

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

     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

     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

     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

   - "mm/mglru: performance optimizations" from Yu Zhao fixes a few
     MGLRU regressions and otherwise improves MGLRU performance

   - "mm: hugetlb+THP folio and migration cleanups" from David
     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"

* tag 'mm-stable-2025-01-26-14-59' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm: (321 commits)
  mm/compaction: fix UBSAN shift-out-of-bounds warning

<title>hung_task: add task-&gt;flags, blocked by coredump to log</title>

Resending this patch as I haven't received feedback on my initial
submission https://lore.kernel.org/all/20241204182953.10854-1-oxana@cloudflare.com/

For the processes which are terminated abnormally the kernel can provide
a coredump if enabled. When the coredump is performed, the process and
all its threads are put into the D state
(TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE | TASK_FREEZABLE).

On the other hand, we have kernel thread khungtaskd which monitors the
processes in the D state. If the task stuck in the D state more than
kernel.hung_task_timeout_secs, the hung_task alert appears in the kernel
log.

The higher memory usage of a process, the longer it takes to create
coredump, the longer tasks are in the D state. We have hung_task alerts
for the processes with memory usage above 10Gb. Although, our
kernel.hung_task_timeout_secs is 10 sec when the default is 120 sec.

Adding additional information to the log that the task is blocked by
coredump will help with monitoring. Another approach might be to
completely filter out alerts for such tasks, but in that case we would
lose transparency about what is putting pressure on some system
resources, e.g. we saw an increase in I/O when coredump occurs due its
writing to disk.

Additionally, it would be helpful to have task_struct-&gt;flags in the log
from the function sched_show_task(). Currently it prints
task_struct-&gt;thread_info-&gt;flags, this seems misleading as the line
starts with "task:xxxx".

Pull kthread updates from Frederic Weisbecker:
 "Kthreads affinity follow either of 4 existing different patterns:

   1) Per-CPU kthreads must stay affine to a single CPU and never
      execute relevant code on any other CPU. This is currently handled
      by smpboot code which takes care of CPU-hotplug operations.
      Affinity here is a correctness constraint.

   2) Some kthreads _have_ to be affine to a specific set of CPUs and
      can't run anywhere else. The affinity is set through
      kthread_bind_mask() and the subsystem takes care by itself to
      handle CPU-hotplug operations. Affinity here is assumed to be a
      correctness constraint.

   3) Per-node kthreads _prefer_ to be affine to a specific NUMA node.
      This is not a correctness constraint but merely a preference in
      terms of memory locality. kswapd and kcompactd both fall into this
      category. The affinity is set manually like for any other task and
      CPU-hotplug is supposed to be handled by the relevant subsystem so
      that the task is properly reaffined whenever a given CPU from the
      node comes up. Also care should be taken so that the node affinity
      doesn't cross isolated (nohz_full) cpumask boundaries.

   4) Similar to the previous point except kthreads have a _preferred_
      affinity different than a node. Both RCU boost kthreads and RCU
      exp kworkers fall into this category as they refer to "RCU nodes"
      from a distinctly distributed tree.

  Currently the preferred affinity patterns (3 and 4) have at least 4
  identified users, with more or less success when it comes to handle
  CPU-hotplug operations and CPU isolation. Each of which do it in its
  own ad-hoc way.

  This is an infrastructure proposal to handle this with the following
  API changes:

   - kthread_create_on_node() automatically affines the created kthread
     to its target node unless it has been set as per-cpu or bound with
     kthread_bind[_mask]() before the first wake-up.

   - kthread_affine_preferred() is a new function that can be called
     right after kthread_create_on_node() to specify a preferred
     affinity different than the specified node.

  When the preferred affinity can't be applied because the possible
  targets are offline or isolated (nohz_full), the kthread is affine to
  the housekeeping CPUs (which means to all online CPUs most of the time
  or only the non-nohz_full CPUs when nohz_full= is set).

  kswapd, kcompactd, RCU boost kthreads and RCU exp kworkers have been
  converted, along with a few old drivers.

  Summary of the changes:

   - Consolidate a bunch of ad-hoc implementations of
     kthread_run_on_cpu()

   - Introduce task_cpu_fallback_mask() that defines the default last
     resort affinity of a task to become nohz_full aware

   - Add some correctness check to ensure kthread_bind() is always
     called before the first kthread wake up.

   - Default affine kthread to its preferred node.

   - Convert kswapd / kcompactd and remove their halfway working ad-hoc
     affinity implementation

   - Implement kthreads preferred affinity

   - Unify kthread worker and kthread API's style

   - Convert RCU kthreads to the new API and remove the ad-hoc affinity
     implementation"

<title>lazy tlb: fix hotplug exit race with MMU_LAZY_TLB_SHOOTDOWN</title>

<content type='text'>
CPU unplug first calls __cpu_disable(), and that's where powerpc calls
cleanup_cpu_mmu_context(), which clears this CPU from mm_cpumask() of all
mms in the system.

However this CPU may still be using a lazy tlb mm, and its mm_cpumask bit
will be cleared from it.  The CPU does not switch away from the lazy tlb
mm until arch_cpu_idle_dead() calls idle_task_exit().

If that user mm exits in this window, it will not be subject to the lazy
tlb mm shootdown and may be freed while in use as a lazy mm by the CPU
that is being unplugged.

cleanup_cpu_mmu_context() could be moved later, but it looks better to
move the lazy tlb mm switching earlier.  The problem with doing the lazy
mm switching in idle_task_exit() is explained in commit bf2c59fce4074
("sched/core: Fix illegal RCU from offline CPUs"), which added a wart to
switch away from the mm but leave it set in active_mm to be cleaned up
later.

So instead, switch away from the lazy tlb mm at sched_cpu_wait_empty(),
which is the last hotplug state before teardown
(CPUHP_AP_SCHED_WAIT_EMPTY).  This CPU will never switch to a user thread
from this point, so it has no chance to pick up a new lazy tlb mm.  This
removes the lazy tlb mm handling wart in CPU unplug.

With this, idle_task_exit() is not needed anymore and can be cleaned up. 
This leaves the prototype alone, to be cleaned after this change.

herton: took the suggestions from https://lore.kernel.org/all/87jzvyprsw.ffs@tglx/

CPU unplug first calls __cpu_disable(), and that's where powerpc calls
cleanup_cpu_mmu_context(), which clears this CPU from mm_cpumask() of all
mms in the system.

However this CPU may still be using a lazy tlb mm, and its mm_cpumask bit
will be cleared from it.  The CPU does not switch away from the lazy tlb
mm until arch_cpu_idle_dead() calls idle_task_exit().

If that user mm exits in this window, it will not be subject to the lazy
tlb mm shootdown and may be freed while in use as a lazy mm by the CPU
that is being unplugged.

cleanup_cpu_mmu_context() could be moved later, but it looks better to
move the lazy tlb mm switching earlier.  The problem with doing the lazy
mm switching in idle_task_exit() is explained in commit bf2c59fce4074
("sched/core: Fix illegal RCU from offline CPUs"), which added a wart to
switch away from the mm but leave it set in active_mm to be cleaned up
later.

So instead, switch away from the lazy tlb mm at sched_cpu_wait_empty(),
which is the last hotplug state before teardown
(CPUHP_AP_SCHED_WAIT_EMPTY).  This CPU will never switch to a user thread
from this point, so it has no chance to pick up a new lazy tlb mm.  This
removes the lazy tlb mm handling wart in CPU unplug.

With this, idle_task_exit() is not needed anymore and can be cleaned up. 
This leaves the prototype alone, to be cleaned after this change.

<title>kasan: make kasan_record_aux_stack_noalloc() the default behaviour</title>

kasan_record_aux_stack_noalloc() was introduced to record a stack trace
without allocating memory in the process.  It has been added to callers
which were invoked while a raw_spinlock_t was held.  More and more callers
were identified and changed over time.  Is it a good thing to have this
while functions try their best to do a locklessly setup?  The only
downside of having kasan_record_aux_stack() not allocate any memory is
that we end up without a stacktrace if stackdepot runs out of memory and
at the same stacktrace was not recorded before To quote Marco Elver from
https://lore.kernel.org/all/CANpmjNPmQYJ7pv1N3cuU8cP18u7PP_uoZD8YxwZd4jtbof9nVQ@mail.gmail.com/

| I'd be in favor, it simplifies things. And stack depot should be
| able to replenish its pool sufficiently in the "non-aux" cases
| i.e. regular allocations. Worst case we fail to record some
| aux stacks, but I think that's only really bad if there's a bug
| around one of these allocations. In general the probabilities
| of this being a regression are extremely small [...]

Make the kasan_record_aux_stack_noalloc() behaviour default as
kasan_record_aux_stack().

<title>psi: Fix race when task wakes up before psi_sched_switch() adjusts flags</title>

When running hackbench in a cgroup with bandwidth throttling enabled,
following PSI splat was observed:

    psi: inconsistent task state! task=1831:hackbench cpu=8 psi_flags=14 clear=0 set=4

When investigating the series of events leading up to the splat,
following sequence was observed:

    [008] d..2.: sched_switch: ... ==&gt; next_comm=hackbench next_pid=1831 next_prio=120
        ...
    [008] dN.2.: dequeue_entity(task delayed): task=hackbench pid=1831 cfs_rq-&gt;throttled=0
    [008] dN.2.: pick_task_fair: check_cfs_rq_runtime() throttled cfs_rq on CPU8
    # CPU8 goes into newidle balance and releases the rq lock
        ...
    # CPU15 on same LLC Domain is trying to wakeup hackbench(pid=1831)
    [015] d..4.: psi_flags_change: psi: task state: task=1831:hackbench cpu=8 psi_flags=14 clear=0 set=4 final=14 # Splat (cfs_rq-&gt;throttled=1)
    [015] d..4.: sched_wakeup: comm=hackbench pid=1831 prio=120 target_cpu=008 # Task has woken on a throttled hierarchy
    [008] d..2.: sched_switch: prev_comm=hackbench prev_pid=1831 prev_prio=120 prev_state=S ==&gt; ...

psi_dequeue() relies on psi_sched_switch() to set the correct PSI flags
for the blocked entity, however, with the introduction of DELAY_DEQUEUE,
the block task can wakeup when newidle balance drops the runqueue lock
during __schedule().

If a task wakes before psi_sched_switch() adjusts the PSI flags, skip
any modifications in psi_enqueue() which would still see the flags of a
running task and not a blocked one. Instead, rely on psi_sched_switch()
to do the right thing.

Since the status returned by try_to_block_task() may no longer be true
by the time schedule reaches psi_sched_switch(), check if the task is
blocked or not using a combination of task_on_rq_queued() and
p-&gt;se.sched_delayed checks.

sched_clock_irqtime may be disabled due to the clock source, in which case
IRQ time should not be accounted. Let's add a conditional check to avoid
unnecessary logic.
