Pull probes updates from Masami Hiramatsu:
 "Uprobes:

   - x86/shstk: Make return uprobe work with shadow stack

   - Add uretprobe syscall which speeds up the uretprobe 10-30% faster.
     This syscall is automatically used from user-space trampolines
     which are generated by the uretprobe. If this syscall is used by
     normal user program, it will cause SIGILL. Note that this is
     currently only implemented on x86_64.

     (This also has two fixes for adjusting the syscall number to avoid
     conflict with new *attrat syscalls.)

   - uprobes/perf: fix user stack traces in the presence of pending
     uretprobe. This corrects the uretprobe's trampoline address in the
     stacktrace with correct return address

   - selftests/x86: Add a return uprobe with shadow stack test

   - selftests/bpf: Add uretprobe syscall related tests.
      - test case for register integrity check
      - test case with register changing case
      - test case for uretprobe syscall without uprobes (expected to fail)
      - test case for uretprobe with shadow stack

   - selftests/bpf: add test validating uprobe/uretprobe stack traces

   - MAINTAINERS: Add uprobes entry. This does not specify the tree but
     to clarify who maintains and reviews the uprobes

  Kprobes:

   - tracing/kprobes: Test case cleanups.

     Replace redundant WARN_ON_ONCE() + pr_warn() with WARN_ONCE() and
     remove unnecessary code from selftest

   - tracing/kprobes: Add symbol counting check when module loads.

     This checks the uniqueness of the probed symbol on modules. The
     same check has already done for kernel symbols

     (This also has a fix for build error with CONFIG_MODULES=n)

  Cleanup:

   - Add MODULE_DESCRIPTION() macros for fprobe and kprobe examples"

When building with clang, via:

    make LLVM=1 -C tools/testing/selftests

...quite a few functions are variables are generating "unused" warnings.
Fix the warnings by deleting the unused items.

One item, the "nerrs" variable in vsdo_restorer.c's main(), is unused
but probably wants to be returned from main(), as a non-zero result.
That result is also unused right now, so another option would be to
delete it entirely, but this way, main() also gets fixed. It was missing
a return value.

When building with clang, via:

    make LLVM=1 -C tools/testing/selftests

...clang warns that -no-pie is "unused during compilation".

This occurs because clang only wants to see -no-pie during linking.
Here, we don't have a separate linking stage, so a compiler warning is
unavoidable without (wastefully) restructuring the Makefile.

Avoid the warning by simply disabling that warning, for clang builds.

When building with clang, via:

    make LLVM=1 -C tools/testing/selftests

...the build fails because clang's inline asm doesn't support all of the
features that are used in the asm() snippet in sysret_rip.c.

Fix this by moving the asm code into the clang_helpers_64.S file, where
it can be built with the assembler's full set of features.

As a bonus, the pure asm avoids the need for ifdefs, and is now very

<title>selftests/x86: fix Makefile dependencies to work with clang</title>

When building with clang, via:

    make LLVM=1 -C tools/testing/selftests

...the following build failure occurs in selftests/x86:

   clang: error: cannot specify -o when generating multiple output files

This happens because, although gcc doesn't complain if you invoke it
like this:

    gcc file1.c header2.h

...clang won't accept that form--it rejects the .h file(s). Also, the
above approach is inaccurate anyway, because file.c includes header2.h
in this case, and the inclusion of header2.h on the invocation is an
artifact of the Makefile's desire to maintain dependencies.

In Makefiles of this type, a better way to do it is to use Makefile
dependencies to trigger the appropriate incremental rebuilds, and
separately use file lists (see EXTRA_FILES in this commit) to track what
to pass to the compiler.

This commit splits those concepts up, by setting up both EXTRA_FILES and
the Makefile dependencies with a single call to the new Makefile
function extra-files.

That fixes the build failure, while still providing the correct
dependencies in all cases.

Pull mm updates from Andrew Morton:
 "The usual shower of singleton fixes and minor series all over MM,
  documented (hopefully adequately) in the respective changelogs.
  Notable series include:

   - Lucas Stach has provided some page-mapping cleanup/consolidation/
     maintainability work in the series "mm/treewide: Remove pXd_huge()
     API".

   - In the series "Allow migrate on protnone reference with
     MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY policy", Donet Tom has optimized mempolicy's
     MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY mode, yielding almost doubled performance in
     one test.

   - In their series "Memory allocation profiling" Kent Overstreet and
     Suren Baghdasaryan have contributed a means of determining (via
     /proc/allocinfo) whereabouts in the kernel memory is being
     allocated: number of calls and amount of memory.

   - Matthew Wilcox has provided the series "Various significant MM
     patches" which does a number of rather unrelated things, but in
     largely similar code sites.

   - In his series "mm: page_alloc: freelist migratetype hygiene"
     Johannes Weiner has fixed the page allocator's handling of
     migratetype requests, with resulting improvements in compaction
     efficiency.

   - In the series "make the hugetlb migration strategy consistent"
     Baolin Wang has fixed a hugetlb migration issue, which should
     improve hugetlb allocation reliability.

   - Liu Shixin has hit an I/O meltdown caused by readahead in a
     memory-tight memcg. Addressed in the series "Fix I/O high when
     memory almost met memcg limit".

   - In the series "mm/filemap: optimize folio adding and splitting"
     Kairui Song has optimized pagecache insertion, yielding ~10%
     performance improvement in one test.

   - Baoquan He has cleaned up and consolidated the early zone
     initialization code in the series "mm/mm_init.c: refactor
     free_area_init_core()".

   - Baoquan has also redone some MM initializatio code in the series
     "mm/init: minor clean up and improvement".

   - MM helper cleanups from Christoph Hellwig in his series "remove
     follow_pfn".

   - More cleanups from Matthew Wilcox in the series "Various
     page-&gt;flags cleanups".

   - Vlastimil Babka has contributed maintainability improvements in the
     series "memcg_kmem hooks refactoring".

   - More folio conversions and cleanups in Matthew Wilcox's series:
	"Convert huge_zero_page to huge_zero_folio"
	"khugepaged folio conversions"
	"Remove page_idle and page_young wrappers"
	"Use folio APIs in procfs"
	"Clean up __folio_put()"
	"Some cleanups for memory-failure"
	"Remove page_mapping()"
	"More folio compat code removal"

   - David Hildenbrand chipped in with "fs/proc/task_mmu: convert
     hugetlb functions to work on folis".

   - Code consolidation and cleanup work related to GUP's handling of
     hugetlbs in Peter Xu's series "mm/gup: Unify hugetlb, part 2".

   - Rick Edgecombe has developed some fixes to stack guard gaps in the
     series "Cover a guard gap corner case".

   - Jinjiang Tu has fixed KSM's behaviour after a fork+exec in the
     series "mm/ksm: fix ksm exec support for prctl".

   - Baolin Wang has implemented NUMA balancing for multi-size THPs.
     This is a simple first-cut implementation for now. The series is
     "support multi-size THP numa balancing".

   - Cleanups to vma handling helper functions from Matthew Wilcox in
     the series "Unify vma_address and vma_pgoff_address".

   - Some selftests maintenance work from Dev Jain in the series
     "selftests/mm: mremap_test: Optimizations and style fixes".

   - Improvements to the swapping of multi-size THPs from Ryan Roberts
     in the series "Swap-out mTHP without splitting".

   - Kefeng Wang has significantly optimized the handling of arm64's
     permission page faults in the series
	"arch/mm/fault: accelerate pagefault when badaccess"
	"mm: remove arch's private VM_FAULT_BADMAP/BADACCESS"

   - GUP cleanups from David Hildenbrand in "mm/gup: consistently call
     it GUP-fast".

   - hugetlb fault code cleanups from Vishal Moola in "Hugetlb fault
     path to use struct vm_fault".

   - selftests build fixes from John Hubbard in the series "Fix
     selftests/mm build without requiring "make headers"".

   - Memory tiering fixes/improvements from Ho-Ren (Jack) Chuang in the
     series "Improved Memory Tier Creation for CPUless NUMA Nodes".
     Fixes the initialization code so that migration between different
     memory types works as intended.

   - David Hildenbrand has improved follow_pte() and fixed an errant
     driver in the series "mm: follow_pte() improvements and acrn
     follow_pte() fixes".

   - David also did some cleanup work on large folio mapcounts in his
     series "mm: mapcount for large folios + page_mapcount() cleanups".

   - Folio conversions in KSM in Alex Shi's series "transfer page to
     folio in KSM".

   - Barry Song has added some sysfs stats for monitoring multi-size
     THP's in the series "mm: add per-order mTHP alloc and swpout
     counters".

   - Some zswap cleanups from Yosry Ahmed in the series "zswap
     same-filled and limit checking cleanups".

   - Matthew Wilcox has been looking at buffer_head code and found the
     documentation to be lacking. The series is "Improve buffer head
     documentation".

   - Multi-size THPs get more work, this time from Lance Yang. His
     series "mm/madvise: enhance lazyfreeing with mTHP in madvise_free"
     optimizes the freeing of these things.

   - Kemeng Shi has added more userspace-visible writeback
     instrumentation in the series "Improve visibility of writeback".

     "Fix and cleanups to page-writeback".

   - Matthew Wilcox reduces mmap_lock traffic in the anon vma code in
     the series "Improve anon_vma scalability for anon VMAs". Intel's
     test bot reported an improbable 3x improvement in one test.

   - SeongJae Park adds some DAMON feature work in the series
	"mm/damon: add a DAMOS filter type for page granularity access recheck"
	"selftests/damon: add DAMOS quota goal test"

   - Also some maintenance work in the series
	"mm/damon/paddr: simplify page level access re-check for pageout"
	"mm/damon: misc fixes and improvements"

   - David Hildenbrand has disabled some known-to-fail selftests ni the
     series "selftests: mm: cow: flag vmsplice() hugetlb tests as
     XFAIL".

     reduce memory consumption by memcg stats".

   - DAX fixes and maintenance work from Vishal Verma in the series
     "dax/bus.c: Fixups for dax-bus locking""
