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".

     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".

     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".

KVM x86 misc changes for 6.10:

 - Advertise the max mappable GPA in the "guest MAXPHYADDR" CPUID field, which
   is unused by hardware, so that KVM can communicate its inability to map GPAs
   that set bits 51:48 due to lack of 5-level paging.  Guest firmware is
   expected to use the information to safely remap BARs in the uppermost GPA
   space, i.e to avoid placing a BAR at a legal, but unmappable, GPA.

 - Use vfree() instead of kvfree() for allocations that always use vcalloc()
   or __vcalloc().

 - Don't completely ignore same-value writes to immutable feature MSRs, as
   doing so results in KVM failing to reject accesses to MSR that aren't
   supposed to exist given the vCPU model and/or KVM configuration.

 - Don't mark APICv as being inhibited due to ABSENT if APICv is disabled
   KVM-wide to avoid confusing debuggers (KVM will never bother clearing the
   ABSENT inhibit, even if userspace enables in-kernel local APIC).

KVM cleanups for 6.10:

 - Misc cleanups extracted from the "exit on missing userspace mapping" series,
   which has been put on hold in anticipation of a "KVM Userfault" approach,
   which should provide a superset of functionality.

 - Remove kvm_make_all_cpus_request_except(), which got added to hack around an
   AVIC bug, and then became dead code when a more robust fix came along.

 - Fix a goof in the KVM_CREATE_GUEST_MEMFD documentation.

KVM/arm64 updates for Linux 6.10

- Move a lot of state that was previously stored on a per vcpu
  basis into a per-CPU area, because it is only pertinent to the
  host while the vcpu is loaded. This results in better state
  tracking, and a smaller vcpu structure.

- Add full handling of the ERET/ERETAA/ERETAB instructions in
  nested virtualisation. The last two instructions also require
  emulating part of the pointer authentication extension.
  As a result, the trap handling of pointer authentication has
  been greattly simplified.

- Turn the global (and not very scalable) LPI translation cache
  into a per-ITS, scalable cache, making non directly injected
  LPIs much cheaper to make visible to the vcpu.

- A batch of pKVM patches, mostly fixes and cleanups, as the
  upstreaming process seems to be resuming. Fingers crossed!

- Allocate PPIs and SGIs outside of the vcpu structure, allowing
  for smaller EL2 mapping and some flexibility in implementing
  more or less than 32 private IRQs.

- Purge stale mpidr_data if a vcpu is created after the MPIDR
  map has been created.

- Preserve vcpu-specific ID registers across a vcpu reset.

- Various minor cleanups and improvements.

... and centralize the VM_IO/VM_PFNMAP sanity check in there. We'll
now also perform these sanity checks for direct follow_pte()
invocations.

For generic_access_phys(), we might now check multiple times: nothing to
worry about, really.

<title>KVM: Remove kvm_make_all_cpus_request_except()</title>

<id>82e9c84d8712e8d29278a37aaa9aa767d50a16da</id>
<content type='text'>
Remove kvm_make_all_cpus_request_except() as it effectively has no users,
and arguably should never have been added in the first place.

Commit 54163a346d4a ("KVM: Introduce kvm_make_all_cpus_request_except()")
added the "except" variation for use in SVM's AVIC update path, which used
it to skip sending a request to the current vCPU (commit 7d611233b016
("KVM: SVM: Disable AVIC before setting V_IRQ")).

But the AVIC usage of kvm_make_all_cpus_request_except() was essentially a
hack-a-fix that simply squashed the most likely scenario of a racy WARN
without addressing the underlying problem(s).  Commit f1577ab21442 ("KVM:
SVM: svm_set_vintr don't warn if AVIC is active but is about to be
deactivated") eventually fixed the WARN itself, and the "except" usage was
subsequently dropped by df63202fe52b ("KVM: x86: APICv: drop immediate
APICv disablement on current vCPU").

That kvm_make_all_cpus_request_except() hasn't gained any users in the
last ~3 years isn't a coincidence.  If a VM-wide broadcast *needs* to skip
the current vCPU, then odds are very good that there is underlying bug
that could be better fixed elsewhere.

<title>KVM: Treat the device list as an rculist</title>

<id>ea54dd374232cc3b6d0ac0a89d715d61ebb04bf6</id>
<content type='text'>
A subsequent change to KVM/arm64 will necessitate walking the device
list outside of the kvm-&gt;lock. Prepare by converting to an rculist. This
has zero effect on the VM destruction path, as it is expected every
reader is backed by a reference on the kvm struct.

On the other hand, ensure a given device is completely destroyed before
dropping the kvm-&gt;lock in the release() path, as certain devices expect
to be a singleton (e.g. the vfio-kvm device).

<title>KVM: Allow page-sized MMU caches to be initialized with custom 64-bit values</title>

<id>c23e2b7103090b05e4d567d8976f99926ea855e9</id>
<content type='text'>
Add support to MMU caches for initializing a page with a custom 64-bit
value, e.g. to pre-fill an entire page table with non-zero PTE values.
The functionality will be used by x86 to support Intel's TDX, which needs
to set bit 63 in all non-present PTEs in order to prevent !PRESENT page
faults from getting reflected into the guest (Intel's EPT Violation #VE
architecture made the less than brilliant decision of having the per-PTE
behavior be opt-out instead of opt-in).
