<title>mm: add mmap_prepare() compatibility layer for nested file systems</title>

Nested file systems, that is those which invoke call_mmap() within their
own f_op-&gt;mmap() handlers, may encounter underlying file systems which
provide the f_op-&gt;mmap_prepare() hook introduced by commit c84bf6dd2b83
("mm: introduce new .mmap_prepare() file callback").

We have a chicken-and-egg scenario here - until all file systems are
converted to using .mmap_prepare(), we cannot convert these nested
handlers, as we can't call f_op-&gt;mmap from an .mmap_prepare() hook.

So we have to do it the other way round - invoke the .mmap_prepare() hook
from an .mmap() one.

in order to do so, we need to convert VMA state into a struct vm_area_desc
descriptor, invoking the underlying file system's f_op-&gt;mmap_prepare()
callback passing a pointer to this, and then setting VMA state accordingly
and safely.

This patch achieves this via the compat_vma_mmap_prepare() function, which
we invoke from call_mmap() if f_op-&gt;mmap_prepare() is specified in the
passed in file pointer.

We place the fundamental logic into mm/vma.h where VMA manipulation
belongs.  We also update the VMA userland tests to accommodate the
changes.

The compat_vma_mmap_prepare() function and its associated machinery is
temporary, and will be removed once the conversion of file systems is
complete.

We carefully place this code so it can be used with CONFIG_MMU and also
with cutting edge nommu silicon.

Pull sysctl updates from Joel Granados:

 - Move vm_table members out of kernel/sysctl.c

   All vm_table array members have moved to their respective subsystems
   leading to the removal of vm_table from kernel/sysctl.c. This
   increases modularity by placing the ctl_tables closer to where they
   are actually used and at the same time reducing the chances of merge
   conflicts in kernel/sysctl.c.

 - ctl_table range fixes

   Replace the proc_handler function that checks variable ranges in
   coredump_sysctls and vdso_table with the one that actually uses the
   extra{1,2} pointers as min/max values. This tightens the range of the
   values that users can pass into the kernel effectively preventing
   {under,over}flows.

 - Misc fixes

   Correct grammar errors and typos in test messages. Update sysctl
   files in MAINTAINERS. Constified and removed array size in
   declaration for alignment_tbl

Pull slab updates from Vlastimil Babka:

 - Move the TINY_RCU kvfree_rcu() implementation from RCU to SLAB
   subsystem and cleanup its integration (Vlastimil Babka)

   Following the move of the TREE_RCU batching kvfree_rcu()
   implementation in 6.14, move also the simpler TINY_RCU variant.
   Refactor the #ifdef guards so that the simple implementation is also
   used with SLUB_TINY.

   Remove the need for RCU to recognize fake callback function pointers
   (__is_kvfree_rcu_offset()) when handling call_rcu() by implementing a
   callback that calculates the object's address from the embedded
   rcu_head address without knowing its offset.

 - Improve kmalloc cache randomization in kvmalloc (GONG Ruiqi)

   Due to an extra layer of function call, all kvmalloc() allocations
   used the same set of random caches. Thanks to moving the kvmalloc()
   implementation to slub.c, this is improved and randomization now
   works for kvmalloc.

 - Various improvements to debugging, testing and other cleanups (Hyesoo

<title>fsnotify: add pre-content hooks on mmap()</title>

Pre-content hooks in page faults introduces potential deadlock of HSM
handler in userspace with filesystem freezing.

The requirement with pre-content event is that for every accessed file
range an event covering at least this range will be generated at least
once before the file data is accesses.

In preparation to disabling pre-content event hooks on page faults,
add pre-content hooks at mmap() variants for the entire mmaped range,
so HSM can fill content when user requests to map a portion of the file.

Note that exec() variant also calls vm_mmap_pgoff() internally to map
code sections, so pre-content hooks are also generated in this case.

It isn't always entirely clear to users the difference between do_mmap(),
mmap_region() and vm_mmap(), so add comments to clarify what's going on in
each.

This is compounded by the fact that we actually allow callers external to
mm to invoke both do_mmap() and mmap_region() (!), the latter of which is
really strictly speaking an internal memory mapping implementation detail.

mm to invoke both do_mmap() and mmap_region() (!), the latter of which is
really strictly speaking an internal memory mapping implementation detail.

<title>mm/util: make memdup_user_nul() similar to memdup_user()</title>

<content type='text'>
Since the string data to copy from userspace is likely less than PAGE_SIZE
bytes, replace GFP_KERNEL with GFP_USER like commit 6c2c97a24f09
("memdup_user(): switch to GFP_USER") does and add __GFP_NOWARN like
commit 6c8fcc096be9 ("mm: don't let userspace spam allocations warnings")
does.  Also, use dedicated slab buckets like commit d73778e4b867
("mm/util: Use dedicated slab buckets for memdup_user()") does.

Pull non-MM updates from Andrew Morton:

 - The series "resource: A couple of cleanups" from Andy Shevchenko
   performs some cleanups in the resource management code

 - The series "Improve the copy of task comm" from Yafang Shao addresses
   possible race-induced overflows in the management of
   task_struct.comm[]

 - The series "Remove unnecessary header includes from
   {tools/}lib/list_sort.c" from Kuan-Wei Chiu adds some cleanups and a

This function doesn't modify any of its arguments, so if we make a few
other functions take const pointers, we can make page_address_in_vma()
take const pointers too.  All of its callers have the containing folio
already, so pass that in as an argument instead of recalculating it.  Also
add kernel-doc
