2a63dd0edf net: Retire DCCP socket.
DCCP was orphaned in 2021 by commit 054c4610bd ("MAINTAINERS: dccp:
move Gerrit Renker to CREDITS"), which noted that the last maintainer
had been inactive for five years.

In recent years, it has become a playground for syzbot, and most changes
to DCCP have been odd bug fixes triggered by syzbot.  Apart from that,
the only changes have been driven by treewide or networking API updates
or adjustments related to TCP.

Thus, in 2023, we announced we would remove DCCP in 2025 via commit
b144fcaf46 ("dccp: Print deprecation notice.").

Since then, only one individual has contacted the netdev mailing list. [0]

There is ongoing research for Multipath DCCP.  The repository is hosted
on GitHub [1], and development is not taking place through the upstream
community.  While the repository is published under the GPLv2 license,
the scheduling part remains proprietary, with a LICENSE file [2] stating:

  "This is not Open Source software."

The researcher mentioned a plan to address the licensing issue, upstream
the patches, and step up as a maintainer, but there has been no further
communication since then.

Maintaining DCCP for a decade without any real users has become a burden.

Therefore, it's time to remove it.

Removing DCCP will also provide significant benefits to TCP.  It allows
us to freely reorganize the layout of struct inet_connection_sock, which
is currently shared with DCCP, and optimize it to reduce the number of
cachelines accessed in the TCP fast path.

Note that we keep DCCP netfilter modules as requested.  [3]

9c5968db9e 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 & 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.

2a91cb2d2b Docs/translations/*/admin-guide/mm/damon/usage: remove DAMON debugfs interface documentation
Patch series "mm/damon: remove DAMON debugfs interface".

DAMON debugfs interface was the only user interface of DAMON at the
beginning[1].  However, it turned out the interface would be not good
enough for long-term flexibility and stability.

In Feb 2022[2], we therefore introduced DAMON sysfs interface as an
alternative user interface that aims long-term flexibility and stability. 
With its introduction, DAMON debugfs interface has announced to be
deprecated in near future.

In Feb 2023[3], we announced the official deprecation of DAMON debugfs
interface.  In Jan 2024[4], we further made the deprecation difficult to
be ignored.

In Oct 2024[5], we posted an RFC version of this patch series as the last
notice.

And as of this writing, no problem or concerns about the removal plan have
reported.  Apparently users are already moved to the alternative, or made
good plans for the change.

Remove the DAMON debugfs interface code from the tree.  Given the past
timeline and the absence of reported problems or concerns, it is safe
enough to be done.

This patch (of 8):

It's time to remove DAMON debugfs interface, which has deprecated long
before in February 2023.  Read the cover letter of this patch sereis for
more details.

Remove DAMON debugfs interface usage documentation and references to it
from translations, to avoid confusing users with documents for already
removed things.

was from an earlier bug report that got copied into the document, but
now makes no sense so remove it.

617a814f14 ALong with the usual shower of singleton patches, notable patch series in
this pull request are:
 
 "Align kvrealloc() with krealloc()" from Danilo Krummrich.  Adds
 consistency to the APIs and behaviour of these two core allocation
 functions.  This also simplifies/enables Rustification.
 
 "Some cleanups for shmem" from Baolin Wang.  No functional changes - mode
 code reuse, better function naming, logic simplifications.
 
 "mm: some small page fault cleanups" from Josef Bacik.  No functional
 changes - code cleanups only.
 
 "Various memory tiering fixes" from Zi Yan.  A small fix and a little
 cleanup.
 
 "mm/swap: remove boilerplate" from Yu Zhao.  Code cleanups and
 simplifications and .text shrinkage.
 
 "Kernel stack usage histogram" from Pasha Tatashin and Shakeel Butt.  This
 is a feature, it adds new feilds to /proc/vmstat such as
 
     $ grep kstack /proc/vmstat
     kstack_1k 3
     kstack_2k 188
     kstack_4k 11391
     kstack_8k 243
     kstack_16k 0
 
 which tells us that 11391 processes used 4k of stack while none at all
 used 16k.  Useful for some system tuning things, but partivularly useful
 for "the dynamic kernel stack project".
 
 "kmemleak: support for percpu memory leak detect" from Pavel Tikhomirov.
 Teaches kmemleak to detect leaksage of percpu memory.
 
 "mm: memcg: page counters optimizations" from Roman Gushchin.  "3
 independent small optimizations of page counters".
 
 "mm: split PTE/PMD PT table Kconfig cleanups+clarifications" from David
 Hildenbrand.  Improves PTE/PMD splitlock detection, makes powerpc/8xx work
 correctly by design rather than by accident.
 
 "mm: remove arch_make_page_accessible()" from David Hildenbrand.  Some
 folio conversions which make arch_make_page_accessible() unneeded.
 
 "mm, memcg: cg2 memory{.swap,}.peak write handlers" fro David Finkel.
 Cleans up and fixes our handling of the resetting of the cgroup/process
 peak-memory-use detector.
 
 "Make core VMA operations internal and testable" from Lorenzo Stoakes.
 Rationalizaion and encapsulation of the VMA manipulation APIs.  With a
 view to better enable testing of the VMA functions, even from a
 userspace-only harness.

 some missing info in /proc/zoneinfo.
 
 "mm: replace follow_page() by folio_walk" from David Hildenbrand.  Code
 cleanups and rationalizations (conversion to folio_walk()) resulting in
 the removal of follow_page().
 
 "improving dynamic zswap shrinker protection scheme" from Nhat Pham.  Some
 tuning to improve zswap's dynamic shrinker.  Significant reductions in
 swapin and improvements in performance are shown.
 
 "mm: Fix several issues with unaccepted memory" from Kirill Shutemov.
 Improvements to the new unaccepted memory feature,
 
 "mm/mprotect: Fix dax puds" from Peter Xu.  Implements mprotect on DAX
 PUDs.  This was missing, although nobody seems to have notied yet.
 
 "Introduce a store type enum for the Maple tree" from Sidhartha Kumar.
 Cleanups and modest performance improvements for the maple tree library
 code.
 
 "memcg: further decouple v1 code from v2" from Shakeel Butt.  Move more
 cgroup v1 remnants away from the v2 memcg code.

Merge tag 'mm-stable-2024-09-20-02-31' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
 "Along with the usual shower of singleton patches, notable patch series
  in this pull request are:

   - "Align kvrealloc() with krealloc()" from Danilo Krummrich. Adds
     consistency to the APIs and behaviour of these two core allocation
     functions. This also simplifies/enables Rustification.

   - "Some cleanups for shmem" from Baolin Wang. No functional changes -
     mode code reuse, better function naming, logic simplifications.

   - "mm: some small page fault cleanups" from Josef Bacik. No
     functional changes - code cleanups only.

   - "Various memory tiering fixes" from Zi Yan. A small fix and a
     little cleanup.

   - "mm/swap: remove boilerplate" from Yu Zhao. Code cleanups and
     simplifications and .text shrinkage.

   - "Kernel stack usage histogram" from Pasha Tatashin and Shakeel
     Butt. This is a feature, it adds new feilds to /proc/vmstat such as

       $ grep kstack /proc/vmstat
       kstack_1k 3
       kstack_2k 188
       kstack_4k 11391
       kstack_8k 243
       kstack_16k 0

     which tells us that 11391 processes used 4k of stack while none at
     all used 16k. Useful for some system tuning things, but
     partivularly useful for "the dynamic kernel stack project".

   - "kmemleak: support for percpu memory leak detect" from Pavel
     Tikhomirov. Teaches kmemleak to detect leaksage of percpu memory.

   - "mm: memcg: page counters optimizations" from Roman Gushchin. "3
     independent small optimizations of page counters".

   - "mm: split PTE/PMD PT table Kconfig cleanups+clarifications" from
     David Hildenbrand. Improves PTE/PMD splitlock detection, makes
     powerpc/8xx work correctly by design rather than by accident.

   - "mm: remove arch_make_page_accessible()" from David Hildenbrand.
     Some folio conversions which make arch_make_page_accessible()
     unneeded.

   - "mm, memcg: cg2 memory{.swap,}.peak write handlers" fro David
     Finkel. Cleans up and fixes our handling of the resetting of the
     cgroup/process peak-memory-use detector.

   - "Make core VMA operations internal and testable" from Lorenzo
     Stoakes. Rationalizaion and encapsulation of the VMA manipulation
     APIs. With a view to better enable testing of the VMA functions,
     even from a userspace-only harness.

   - "mm: zswap: fixes for global shrinker" from Takero Funaki. Fix
     issues in the zswap global shrinker, resulting in improved
     performance.

   - "mm: print the promo watermark in zoneinfo" from Kaiyang Zhao. Fill
     in some missing info in /proc/zoneinfo.

   - "mm: replace follow_page() by folio_walk" from David Hildenbrand.
     Code cleanups and rationalizations (conversion to folio_walk())
     resulting in the removal of follow_page().

   - "improving dynamic zswap shrinker protection scheme" from Nhat
     Pham. Some tuning to improve zswap's dynamic shrinker. Significant
     reductions in swapin and improvements in performance are shown.

   - "mm: Fix several issues with unaccepted memory" from Kirill
     Shutemov. Improvements to the new unaccepted memory feature,

   - "mm/mprotect: Fix dax puds" from Peter Xu. Implements mprotect on
     DAX PUDs. This was missing, although nobody seems to have notied
     yet.

   - "Introduce a store type enum for the Maple tree" from Sidhartha
     Kumar. Cleanups and modest performance improvements for the maple
     tree library code.

   - "memcg: further decouple v1 code from v2" from Shakeel Butt. Move
     more cgroup v1 remnants away from the v2 memcg code.

   - "memcg: initiate deprecation of v1 features" from Shakeel Butt.
     Adds various warnings telling users that memcg v1 features are
     deprecated.

   - "mm: swap: mTHP swap allocator base on swap cluster order" from
     Chris Li. Greatly improves the success rate of the mTHP swap
     allocation.

   - "mm: introduce numa_memblks" from Mike Rapoport. Moves various
     disparate per-arch implementations of numa_memblk code into generic
     code.

44ac5abac8 Documentation/security-bugs: move from admin-guide/ to process/
Jiri Kosina, Jonathan Corbet, and Willy Tarreau all expressed a desire
to move this document under process/.

Create a new section for security issues in the index and group it with
embargoed-hardware-issues.

I'm doing this at the start of the series to make all the subsequent
changes show up in 'git blame'.

Existing references were updated using:

  git grep -l security-bugs ':!Documentation/translations/' | xargs sed -i 's|admin-guide/security-bugs|process/security-bugs|g'
  git grep -l security-bugs Documentation/translations/ | xargs sed -i 's|Documentation/admin-guide/security-bugs|Documentation/process/security-bugs|g'
  git grep -l security-bugs Documentation/translations/ | xargs sed -i '/Original:/s|\.\./admin-guide/security-bugs|\.\./process/security-bugs|g'

Notably, the page is not moved in the translations (due to my lack of
knowledge of these languages), but the translations have been updated
to point to the new location of the original document where these
references exist.
