git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm Pull non-MM updates from Andrew Morton: - "pid: make sub-init creation retryable" (Oleg Nesterov) Make creation of init in a new namespace more robust by clearing away some historical cruft which is no longer needed. Also some documentation fixups - "selftests/fchmodat2: Error handling and general" (Mark Brown) Fix and a cleanup for the fchmodat2() syscall selftest - "lib: polynomial: Move to math/ and clean up" (Andy Shevchenko) - "hung_task: Provide runtime reset interface for hung task detector" (Aaron Tomlin) Give administrators the ability to zero out /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_detect_count - "tools/getdelays: use the static UAPI headers from tools/include/uapi" (Thomas Weißschuh) Teach getdelays to use the in-kernel UAPI headers rather than the system-provided ones - "watchdog/hardlockup: Improvements to hardlockup" (Mayank Rungta) Several cleanups and fixups to the hardlockup detector code and its documentation - "lib/bch: fix undefined behavior from signed left-shifts" (Josh Law) A couple of small/theoretical fixes in the bch code - "ocfs2/dlm: fix two bugs in dlm_match_regions()" (Junrui Luo) - "cleanup the RAID5 XOR library" (Christoph Hellwig) A quite far-reaching cleanup to this code. I can't do better than to quote Christoph: "The XOR library used for the RAID5 parity is a bit of a mess right now. The main file sits in crypto/ despite not being cryptography and not using the crypto API, with the generic implementations sitting in include/asm-generic and the arch implementations sitting in an asm/ header in theory. The latter doesn't work for many cases, so architectures often build the code directly into the core kernel, or create another module for the architecture code. Change this to a single module in lib/ that also contains the architecture optimizations, similar to the library work Eric Biggers has done for the CRC and crypto libraries later. After that it changes to better calling conventions that allow for smarter architecture implementations (although none is contained here yet), and uses static_call to avoid indirection function call overhead" - "lib/list_sort: Clean up list_sort() scheduling workarounds" (Kuan-Wei Chiu) Clean up this library code by removing a hacky thing which was added for UBIFS, which UBIFS doesn't actually need - "Fix bugs in extract_iter_to_sg()" (Christian Ehrhardt) Fix a few bugs in the scatterlist code, add in-kernel tests for the now-fixed bugs and fix a leak in the test itself - "kdump: Enable LUKS-encrypted dump target support in ARM64 and PowerPC" (Coiby Xu) Enable support of the LUKS-encrypted device dump target on arm64 and powerpc - "ocfs2: consolidate extent list validation into block read callbacks" (Joseph Qi) Cleanup, simplify, and make more robust ocfs2's validation of extent list fields (Kernel test robot loves mounting corrupted fs images!) * tag 'mm-nonmm-stable-2026-04-15-04-20' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm: (127 commits) ocfs2: validate group add input before caching ocfs2: validate bg_bits during freefrag scan ocfs2: fix listxattr handling when the buffer is full doc: watchdog: fix typos etc update Sean's email address ocfs2: use get_random_u32() where appropriate ocfs2: split transactions in dio completion to avoid credit exhaustion ocfs2: remove redundant l_next_free_rec check in __ocfs2_find_path() ocfs2: validate extent block list fields during block read ocfs2: remove empty extent list check in ocfs2_dx_dir_lookup_rec() ocfs2: validate dx_root extent list fields during block read ocfs2: fix use-after-free in ocfs2_fault() when VM_FAULT_RETRY ocfs2: handle invalid dinode in ocfs2_group_extend .get_maintainer.ignore: add Askar ocfs2: validate bg_list extent bounds in discontig groups checkpatch: exclude forward declarations of const structs tools/accounting: handle truncated taskstats netlink messages taskstats: set version in TGID exit notifications ocfs2/heartbeat: fix slot mapping rollback leaks on error paths arm64,ppc64le/kdump: pass dm-crypt keys to kdump kernel ...

7 daysalpha: Define pgprot_modify to silence tautological comparison warningsMatt Turner
Alpha's pgprot_noncached, pgprot_writecombine, and pgprot_device are all identity macros, so the generic pgprot_modify() produces tautological self-comparisons that GCC warns about: include/linux/pgtable.h:1701:25: warning: self-comparison always evaluates to true [-Wtautological-compare] Since all caching attributes are no-ops on Alpha, define pgprot_modify() to simply return newprot.

7 daysalpha: add support for SECCOMP and SECCOMP_FILTERMagnus Lindholm
Add SECCOMP and SECCOMP_FILTER support to the Alpha architecture and fix syscall entry and ptrace issues uncovered by the seccomp-bpf selftests. The syscall entry path is reworked to consistently track syscall state using r0, r1 and r2: - r1 holds the active syscall number - r2 preserves the original syscall number for restart - r0 carries the return value, with r19 (a3) indicating success/error This allows syscall restarts to be permitted only for valid ERESTART* return codes and prevents kernel-internal restart values from leaking to userspace. The syscall tracing error marker is corrected to use the saved syscall number slot, matching the Alpha ABI. Additionally, implement minimal PTRACE_GETREGSET and PTRACE_SETREGSET support for NT_PRSTATUS, exporting struct pt_regs directly. This fixes ptrace-based seccomp tests that previously failed with -EIO. With these changes, seccomp-bpf and ptrace syscall tests pass reliably on Alpha.

14 daysarch, mm: consolidate empty_zero_pageMike Rapoport (Microsoft)
Reduce 22 declarations of empty_zero_page to 3 and 23 declarations of ZERO_PAGE() to 4. Every architecture defines empty_zero_page that way or another, but for the most of them it is always a page aligned page in BSS and most definitions of ZERO_PAGE do virt_to_page(empty_zero_page). Move Linus vetted x86 definition of empty_zero_page and ZERO_PAGE() to the core MM and drop these definitions in architectures that do not implement colored zero page (MIPS and s390). ZERO_PAGE() remains a macro because turning it to a wrapper for a static inline causes severe pain in header dependencies. For the most part the change is mechanical, with these being noteworthy: * alpha: aliased empty_zero_page with ZERO_PGE that was also used for boot parameters. Switching to a generic empty_zero_page removes the aliasing and keeps ZERO_PGE for boot parameters only * arm64: uses __pa_symbol() in ZERO_PAGE() so that definition of ZERO_PAGE() is kept intact. * m68k/parisc/um: allocated empty_zero_page from memblock, although they do not support zero page coloring and having it in BSS will work fine. * sparc64 can have empty_zero_page in BSS rather allocate it, but it can't use virt_to_page() for BSS. Keep it's definition of ZERO_PAGE() but instead of allocating it, make mem_map_zero point to empty_zero_page. * sh: used empty_zero_page for boot parameters at the very early boot. Rename the parameters page to boot_params_page and let sh use the generic empty_zero_page. * hexagon: had an amusing comment about empty_zero_page /* A handy thing to have if one has the RAM. Declared in head.S */ that unfortunately had to go :) Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20260211103141.3215197-4-rppt@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Mike Rapoport (Microsoft) <rppt@kernel.org> Acked-by: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de> [parisc] Tested-by: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de> [parisc] Reviewed-by: Christophe Leroy (CS GROUP) <chleroy@kernel.org> Acked-by: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com> Acked-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> Acked-by: Magnus Lindholm <linmag7@gmail.com> [alpha] Acked-by: Dinh Nguyen <dinguyen@kernel.org> [nios2] Acked-by: Andreas Larsson <andreas@gaisler.com> [sparc] Acked-by: David Hildenbrand (Arm) <david@kernel.org> Acked-by: Liam R.

__find_resource_space() calculates the full extent of empty space but only passes the aligned space to resource_alignf callback. In some situations, the callback may choose take advantage of the free space before the requested alignment. Pass the full extent of the calculated empty space to resource_alignf callback as an additional parameter.

2026-02-26kbuild: Split .modinfo out from ELF_DETAILSNathan Chancellor
Commit 3e86e4d74c04 ("kbuild: keep .modinfo section in vmlinux.unstripped") added .modinfo to ELF_DETAILS while removing it from COMMON_DISCARDS, as it was needed in vmlinux.unstripped and ELF_DETAILS was present in all architecture specific vmlinux linker scripts. While this shuffle is fine for vmlinux, ELF_DETAILS and COMMON_DISCARDS may be used by other linker scripts, such as the s390 and x86 compressed boot images, which may not expect to have a .modinfo section. In certain circumstances, this could result in a bootloader failing to load the compressed kernel [1]. Commit ddc6cbef3ef1 ("s390/boot/vmlinux.lds.S: Ensure bzImage ends with SecureBoot trailer") recently addressed this for the s390 bzImage but the same bug remains for arm, parisc, and x86. The presence of .modinfo in the x86 bzImage was the root cause of the issue worked around with commit d50f21091358 ("kbuild: align modinfo section for Secureboot Authenticode EDK2 compat"). misc.c in arch/x86/boot/compressed includes lib/decompress_unzstd.c, which in turn includes lib/xxhash.c and its MODULE_LICENSE / MODULE_DESCRIPTION macros due to the STATIC definition. Split .modinfo out from ELF_DETAILS into its own macro and handle it in all vmlinux linker scripts. Discard .modinfo in the places where it was previously being discarded from being in COMMON_DISCARDS, as it has never been necessary in those uses.

2026-02-21Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argumentLinus Torvalds
This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using git grep -l '\<k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' | xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/' to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL argument to just drop that argument. Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered: they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically. For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate conversion. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2026-02-21treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar typesKees Cook
This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union object instances: Single allocations: kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...) Array allocations: kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...) Flex array allocations: kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...) (where TYPE may also be *VAR) The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning "TYPE *". Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <kees@kernel.org>

Every architecture calls sparse_init() during setup_arch() although the data structures created by sparse_init() are not used until the initialization of the core MM. Beside the code duplication, calling sparse_init() from architecture specific code causes ordering differences of vmemmap and HVO initialization on different architectures. Move the call to sparse_init() from architecture specific code to free_area_init() to ensure that vmemmap and HVO initialization order is always the same.

2026-01-26arch, mm: consolidate initialization of nodes, zones and memory mapMike Rapoport (Microsoft)
To initialize node, zone and memory map data structures every architecture calls free_area_init() during setup_arch() and passes it an array of zone limits. Beside code duplication it creates "interesting" ordering cases between allocation and initialization of hugetlb and the memory map. Some architectures allocate hugetlb pages very early in setup_arch() in certain cases, some only create hugetlb CMA areas in setup_arch() and sometimes hugetlb allocations happen mm_core_init(). With arch_zone_limits_init() helper available now on all architectures it is no longer necessary to call free_area_init() from architecture setup code. Rather core MM initialization can call arch_zone_limits_init() in a single place. This allows to unify ordering of hugetlb vs memory map allocation and initialization. Remove the call to free_area_init() from architecture specific code and place it in a new mm_core_init_early() function that is called immediately after setup_arch(). After this refactoring it is possible to consolidate hugetlb allocations and eliminate differences in ordering of hugetlb and memory map initialization among different architectures.

2026-01-26alpha: introduce arch_zone_limits_init()Mike Rapoport (Microsoft)
Patch series "arch, mm: consolidate hugetlb early reservation", v3. Order in which early memory reservation for hugetlb happens depends on architecture, on configuration options and on command line parameters. Some architectures rely on the core MM to call hugetlb_bootmem_alloc() while others call it very early to allow pre-allocation of HVO-style vmemmap. When hugetlb_cma is supported by an architecture it is initialized during setup_arch() and then later hugetlb_init code needs to understand did it happen or not. To make everything consistent and unified, both reservation of hugetlb memory from bootmem and creation of CMA areas for hugetlb must be called from core MM initialization and it would have been a simple change. However, HVO-style pre-initialization ordering requirements slightly complicate things and for HVO pre-init to work sparse and memory map should be initialized after hugetlb reservations. This required pulling out the call to free_area_init() out of setup_arch() path and moving it MM initialization and this is what the first 23 patches do. These changes are deliberately split into per-arch patches that change how the zone limits are calculated for each architecture and the patches 22 and 23 just remove the calls to free_area_init() and sprase_init() from arch/*. Patch 24 is a simple cleanup for MIPS. Patches 25 and 26 actually consolidate hugetlb reservations and patches 27 and 28 perform some aftermath cleanups. This patch (of 29): Move calculations of zone limits to a dedicated arch_zone_limits_init() function. Later MM core will use this function as an architecture specific callback during nodes and zones initialization and thus there won't be a need to call free_area_init() from every architecture.

2026-01-24alpha: fix user-space corruption during memory compactionMagnus Lindholm
Alpha systems can suffer sporadic user-space crashes and heap corruption when memory compaction is enabled. Symptoms include SIGSEGV, glibc allocator failures (e.g. "unaligned tcache chunk"), and compiler internal errors. The failures disappear when compaction is disabled or when using global TLB invalidation. The root cause is insufficient TLB shootdown during page migration. Alpha relies on ASN-based MM context rollover for instruction cache coherency, but this alone is not sufficient to prevent stale data or instruction translations from surviving migration. Fix this by introducing a migration-specific helper that combines: - MM context invalidation (ASN rollover), - immediate per-CPU TLB invalidation (TBI), - synchronous cross-CPU shootdown when required. The helper is used only by migration/compaction paths to avoid changing global TLB semantics. Additionally, update flush_tlb_other(), pte_clear(), to use READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() for correct SMP memory ordering. This fixes observed crashes on both UP and SMP Alpha systems.

Provide a new syscall which has the only purpose to yield the CPU after the kernel granted a time slice extension. sched_yield() is not suitable for that because it unconditionally schedules, but the end of the time slice extension is not required to schedule when the task was already preempted. This also allows to have a strict check for termination to catch user space invoking random syscalls including sched_yield() from a time slice extension region.

2026-01-20treewide: provide a generic clear_user_page() variantDavid Hildenbrand
Patch series "mm: folio_zero_user: clear page ranges", v11. This series adds clearing of contiguous page ranges for hugepages. The series improves on the current discontiguous clearing approach in two ways: - clear pages in a contiguous fashion. - use batched clearing via clear_pages() wherever exposed. The first is useful because it allows us to make much better use of hardware prefetchers. The second, enables advertising the real extent to the processor. Where specific instructions support it (ex. string instructions on x86; "mops" on arm64 etc), a processor can optimize based on this because, instead of seeing a sequence of 8-byte stores, or a sequence of 4KB pages, it sees a larger unit being operated on. For instance, AMD Zen uarchs (for extents larger than LLC-size) switch to a mode where they start eliding cacheline allocation. This is helpful not just because it results in higher bandwidth, but also because now the cache is not evicting useful cachelines and replacing them with zeroes. Demand faulting a 64GB region shows performance improvement: $ perf bench mem mmap -p $pg-sz -f demand -s 64GB -l 5 baseline +series (GBps +- %stdev) (GBps +- %stdev) pg-sz=2MB 11.76 +- 1.10% 25.34 +- 1.18% [*] +115.47% preempt=* pg-sz=1GB 24.85 +- 2.41% 39.22 +- 2.32% + 57.82% preempt=none|voluntary pg-sz=1GB (similar) 52.73 +- 0.20% [#] +112.19% preempt=full|lazy [*] This improvement is because switching to sequential clearing allows the hardware prefetchers to do a much better job. [#] For pg-sz=1GB a large part of the improvement is because of the cacheline elision mentioned above. preempt=full|lazy improves upon that because, not needing explicit invocations of cond_resched() to ensure reasonable preemption latency, it can clear the full extent as a single unit. In comparison the maximum extent used for preempt=none|voluntary is PROCESS_PAGES_NON_PREEMPT_BATCH (32MB). When provided the full extent the processor forgoes allocating cachelines on this path almost entirely. (The hope is that eventually, in the fullness of time, the lazy preemption model will be able to do the same job that none or voluntary models are used for, allowing us to do away with cond_resched().) Raghavendra also tested previous version of the series on AMD Genoa and sees similar improvement [1] with preempt=lazy. $ perf bench mem map -p $page-size -f populate -s 64GB -l 10 base patched change pg-sz=2MB 12.731939 GB/sec 26.304263 GB/sec 106.6% pg-sz=1GB 26.232423 GB/sec 61.174836 GB/sec 133.2% This patch (of 8): Let's drop all variants that effectively map to clear_page() and provide it in a generic variant instead. We'll use the macro clear_user_page to indicate whether an architecture provides it's own variant. Also, clear_user_page() is only called from the generic variant of clear_user_highpage(), so define it only if the architecture does not provide a clear_user_highpage(). And, for simplicity define it in linux/highmem.h. Note that for parisc, clear_page() and clear_user_page() map to clear_page_asm(), so we can just get rid of the custom clear_user_page() implementation. There is a clear_user_page_asm() function on parisc, that seems to be unused. Not sure what's up with that.

2025-12-08alpha: Replace __ASSEMBLY__ with __ASSEMBLER__ in the alpha headersThomas Huth
While the GCC and Clang compilers already define __ASSEMBLER__ automatically when compiling assembly code, __ASSEMBLY__ is a macro that only gets defined by the Makefiles in the kernel. This can be very confusing when switching between userspace and kernelspace coding, or when dealing with uapi headers that rather should use __ASSEMBLER__ instead. So let's standardize now on the __ASSEMBLER__ macro that is provided by the compilers. This is a completely mechanical patch (done with a simple "sed -i" statement).

The include/generated/asm-offsets.h is generated in Kbuild during compiling from arch/SRCARCH/kernel/asm-offsets.c. When we want to generate another similar offset header file, circular dependency can happen. For example, we want to generate a offset file include/generated/test.h, which is included in include/sched/sched.h. If we generate asm-offsets.h first, it will fail, as include/sched/sched.h is included in asm-offsets.c and include/generated/test.h doesn't exist; If we generate test.h first, it can't success neither, as include/generated/asm-offsets.h is included by it. In x86_64, the macro COMPILE_OFFSETS is used to avoid such circular dependency. We can generate asm-offsets.h first, and if the COMPILE_OFFSETS is defined, we don't include the "generated/test.h". And we define the macro COMPILE_OFFSETS for all the asm-offsets.c for this purpose. Signed-off-by: Menglong Dong <dongml2@chinatelecom.cn> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org>

Way, way back it used to be _PAGE_NORMAL((x) | ((x & _PAGE_FOW) ? 0 : _PAGE_FOW | _PAGE_COW)) Then (in 1.3.54) _PAGE_COW had died. Result: _PAGE_NORMAL((x) | ((x & _PAGE_FOW) ? 0 : _PAGE_FOW)) which is somewhat... obscure. What it does is simply _PAGE_NORMAL((x) | _PAGE_FOW) and IMO that's easier to follow.

2025-09-08alpha: Add __attribute_const__ to ffs()-family implementationsKees Cook
While tracking down a problem where constant expressions used by BUILD_BUG_ON() suddenly stopped working[1], we found that an added static initializer was convincing the compiler that it couldn't track the state of the prior statically initialized value. Tracing this down found that ffs() was used in the initializer macro, but since it wasn't marked with __attribute__const__, the compiler had to assume the function might change variable states as a side-effect (which is not true for ffs(), which provides deterministic math results). Add missing __attribute_const__ annotations to Alpha's implementations of __ffs(), ffs(), fls64(), __fls(), fls(), and ffz() functions. These are pure mathematical functions that always return the same result for the same input with no side effects, making them eligible for compiler optimization. Build tested ARCH=alpha defconfig with GCC alpha-linux-gnu 14.2.0.

2025-09-01arch: copy_thread: pass clone_flags as u64Simon Schuster
With the introduction of clone3 in commit 7f192e3cd316 ("fork: add clone3") the effective bit width of clone_flags on all architectures was increased from 32-bit to 64-bit, with a new type of u64 for the flags. However, for most consumers of clone_flags the interface was not changed from the previous type of unsigned long. While this works fine as long as none of the new 64-bit flag bits (CLONE_CLEAR_SIGHAND and CLONE_INTO_CGROUP) are evaluated, this is still undesirable in terms of the principle of least surprise. Thus, this commit fixes all relevant interfaces of the copy_thread function that is called from copy_process to consistently pass clone_flags as u64, so that no truncation to 32-bit integers occurs on 32-bit architectures.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton: "As usual, many cleanups. The below blurbiage describes 42 patchsets. 21 of those are partially or fully cleanup work. "cleans up", "cleanup", "maintainability", "rationalizes", etc. I never knew the MM code was so dirty. "mm: ksm: prevent KSM from breaking merging of new VMAs" (Lorenzo Stoakes) addresses an issue with KSM's PR_SET_MEMORY_MERGE mode: newly mapped VMAs were not eligible for merging with existing adjacent VMAs. "mm/damon: introduce DAMON_STAT for simple and practical access monitoring" (SeongJae Park) adds a new kernel module which simplifies the setup and usage of DAMON in production environments. "stop passing a writeback_control to swap/shmem writeout" (Christoph Hellwig) is a cleanup to the writeback code which removes a couple of pointers from struct writeback_control. "drivers/base/node.c: optimization and cleanups" (Donet Tom) contains largely uncorrelated cleanups to the NUMA node setup and management code. "mm: userfaultfd: assorted fixes and cleanups" (Tal Zussman) does some maintenance work on the userfaultfd code. "Readahead tweaks for larger folios" (Ryan Roberts) implements some tuneups for pagecache readahead when it is reading into order>0 folios. "selftests/mm: Tweaks to the cow test" (Mark Brown) provides some cleanups and consistency improvements to the selftests code. "Optimize mremap() for large folios" (Dev Jain) does that. A 37% reduction in execution time was measured in a memset+mremap+munmap microbenchmark. "Remove zero_user()" (Matthew Wilcox) expunges zero_user() in favor of the more modern memzero_page(). "mm/huge_memory: vmf_insert_folio_*() and vmf_insert_pfn_pud() fixes" (David Hildenbrand) addresses some warts which David noticed in the huge page code. These were not known to be causing any issues at this time. "mm/damon: use alloc_migrate_target() for DAMOS_MIGRATE_{HOT,COLD" (SeongJae Park) provides some cleanup and consolidation work in DAMON. "use vm_flags_t consistently" (Lorenzo Stoakes) uses vm_flags_t in places where we were inappropriately using other types. "mm/memfd: Reserve hugetlb folios before allocation" (Vivek Kasireddy) increases the reliability of large page allocation in the memfd code. "mm: Remove pXX_devmap page table bit and pfn_t type" (Alistair Popple) removes several now-unneeded PFN_* flags. "mm/damon: decouple sysfs from core" (SeongJae Park) implememnts some cleanup and maintainability work in the DAMON sysfs layer. "madvise cleanup" (Lorenzo Stoakes) does quite a lot of cleanup/maintenance work in the madvise() code. "madvise anon_name cleanups" (Vlastimil Babka) provides additional cleanups on top or Lorenzo's effort. "Implement numa node notifier" (Oscar Salvador) creates a standalone notifier for NUMA node memory state changes. Previously these were lumped under the more general memory on/offline notifier. "Make MIGRATE_ISOLATE a standalone bit" (Zi Yan) cleans up the pageblock isolation code and fixes a potential issue which doesn't seem to cause any problems in practice. "selftests/damon: add python and drgn based DAMON sysfs functionality tests" (SeongJae Park) adds additional drgn- and python-based DAMON selftests which are more comprehensive than the existing selftest suite. "Misc rework on hugetlb faulting path" (Oscar Salvador) fixes a rather obscure deadlock in the hugetlb fault code and follows that fix with a series of cleanups. "cma: factor out allocation logic from __cma_declare_contiguous_nid" (Mike Rapoport) rationalizes and cleans up the highmem-specific code in the CMA allocator. "mm/migration: rework movable_ops page migration (part 1)" (David Hildenbrand) provides cleanups and future-preparedness to the migration code. "mm/damon: add trace events for auto-tuned monitoring intervals and DAMOS quota" (SeongJae Park) adds some tracepoints to some DAMON auto-tuning code. "mm/damon: fix misc bugs in DAMON modules" (SeongJae Park) does that. "mm/damon: misc cleanups" (SeongJae Park) also does what it claims. "mm: folio_pte_batch() improvements" (David Hildenbrand) cleans up the large folio PTE batching code. "mm/damon/vaddr: Allow interleaving in migrate_{hot,cold} actions" (SeongJae Park) facilitates dynamic alteration of DAMON's inter-node allocation policy. "Remove unmap_and_put_page()" (Vishal Moola) provides a couple of page->folio conversions. "mm: per-node proactive reclaim" (Davidlohr Bueso) implements a per-node control of proactive reclaim - beyond the current memcg-based implementation. "mm/damon: remove damon_callback" (SeongJae Park) replaces the damon_callback interface with a more general and powerful damon_call()+damos_walk() interface. "mm/mremap: permit mremap() move of multiple VMAs" (Lorenzo Stoakes) implements a number of mremap cleanups (of course) in preparation for adding new mremap() functionality: newly permit the remapping of multiple VMAs when the user is specifying MREMAP_FIXED. It still excludes some specialized situations where this cannot be performed reliably. "drop hugetlb_free_pgd_range()" (Anthony Yznaga) switches some sparc hugetlb code over to the generic version and removes the thus-unneeded hugetlb_free_pgd_range(). "mm/damon/sysfs: support periodic and automated stats update" (SeongJae Park) augments the present userspace-requested update of DAMON sysfs monitoring files. Automatic update is now provided, along with a tunable to control the update interval. "Some randome fixes and cleanups to swapfile" (Kemeng Shi) does what is claims. "mm: introduce snapshot_page" (Luiz Capitulino and David Hildenbrand) provides (and uses) a means by which debug-style functions can grab a copy of a pageframe and inspect it locklessly without tripping over the races inherent in operating on the live pageframe directly. "use per-vma locks for /proc/pid/maps reads" (Suren Baghdasaryan) addresses the large contention issues which can be triggered by reads from that procfs file. Latencies are reduced by more than half in some situations. The series also introduces several new selftests for the /proc/pid/maps interface. "__folio_split() clean up" (Zi Yan) cleans up __folio_split()! "Optimize mprotect() for large folios" (Dev Jain) provides some quite large (>3x) speedups to mprotect() when dealing with large folios. "selftests/mm: reuse FORCE_READ to replace "asm volatile("" : "+r" (XXX));" and some cleanup" (wang lian) does some cleanup work in the selftests code. "tools/testing: expand mremap testing" (Lorenzo Stoakes) extends the mremap() selftest in several ways, including adding more checking of Lorenzo's recently added "permit mremap() move of multiple VMAs" feature.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs Pull fileattr updates from Christian Brauner: "This introduces the new file_getattr() and file_setattr() system calls after lengthy discussions. Both system calls serve as successors and extensible companions to the FS_IOC_FSGETXATTR and FS_IOC_FSSETXATTR system calls which have started to show their age in addition to being named in a way that makes it easy to conflate them with extended attribute related operations. These syscalls allow userspace to set filesystem inode attributes on special files. One of the usage examples is the XFS quota projects. XFS has project quotas which could be attached to a directory. All new inodes in these directories inherit project ID set on parent directory. The project is created from userspace by opening and calling FS_IOC_FSSETXATTR on each inode. This is not possible for special files such as FIFO, SOCK, BLK etc. Therefore, some inodes are left with empty project ID. Those inodes then are not shown in the quota accounting but still exist in the directory. This is not critical but in the case when special files are created in the directory with already existing project quota, these new inodes inherit extended attributes. This creates a mix of special files with and without attributes. Moreover, special files with attributes don't have a possibility to become clear or change the attributes. This, in turn, prevents userspace from re-creating quota project on these existing files. In addition, these new system calls allow the implementation of additional attributes that we couldn't or didn't want to fit into the legacy ioctls anymore" * tag 'vfs-6.17-rc1.fileattr' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: fs: tighten a sanity check in file_attr_to_fileattr() tree-wide: s/struct fileattr/struct file_kattr/g fs: introduce file_getattr and file_setattr syscalls fs: prepare for extending file_get/setattr() fs: make vfs_fileattr_[get|set] return -EOPNOTSUPP selinux: implement inode_file_[g|s]etattr hooks lsm: introduce new hooks for setting/getting inode fsxattr fs: split fileattr related helpers into separate file
