After 2 cycles of deprecating z3fold, remove it as well as zbud (rationale
in specific patches).
This patch (of 2):
Z3fold has been marked as deprecated for 2 cycles and no one complained,
as expected. As there are no known users, remove the code now.

The single "real" user in the tree of make_device_exclusive_range() always
requests making only a single address exclusive. The current
implementation is hard to fix for properly supporting anonymous THP /
large folios and for avoiding messing with rmap walks in weird ways.
So let's always process a single address/page and return folio + page to
minimize page -> folio lookups. This is a preparation for further
changes.
Reject any non-anonymous or hugetlb folios early, directly after GUP.
While at it, extend the documentation of make_device_exclusive() to
clarify some things.

Commit fb12098d8e ("docs: submit-checklist: Allow creating
cross-references for ABI README") assumes that the path of
"Documentation/ABI/README" would be converted to a cross-ref to
the README.
However, as the README is included by the "kernel-abi" directive
at Documentation/admin-guide/abi.rst, the expected conversion
does not happen.
Instead, use the path where the "kernel-abi" directive exists for
the conversion to work. Restore the original path of README in
inline-literal form as an additional note for readers of the .rst
file.
Apply the same changes for translations.

This is a brand-new translation against
commit 2783096fb1 ("docs: submit-checklist: Expand on build tests
against different word sizes"), rather than an update of
ja_JP/SubmitChecklist, which has never updated since 2008 except for
trivial changes not involving translation.
As we now have two reST contents under the ja_JP translation,
to avoid duplicated boiler plates, split out ja_JP's own disclaimer
part into a new section and put a reference to it at the beginning of
each doc.
As there is no prospect of ja_JP to have a lot of translated docs,
keep those .rst files in the toctree of ja_JP/index.rst.

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.
- "simplify split calculation" from Wei Yang provides a few fixes and a

- "mm/page_alloc: gfp flags cleanups for alloc_contig_*()" from David
Hildenbrand cleans up and rationalizes handling of gfp flags in the page
allocator.
- "readahead: Reintroduce fix for improper RA window sizing" from Jan
Kara is a second attempt at fixing a readahead window sizing issue. It
should reduce the amount of unnecessary reading.
- "synchronously scan and reclaim empty user PTE pages" from Qi Zheng
addresses an issue where "huge" amounts of pte pagetables are
accumulated
(https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/cover.1718267194.git.zhengqi.arch@bytedance.com/).
Qi's series addresses this windup by synchronously freeing PTE memory
within the context of madvise(MADV_DONTNEED).
- "selftest/mm: Remove warnings found by adding compiler flags" from
Muhammad Usama Anjum fixes some build warnings in the selftests code
when optional compiler warnings are enabled.
- "mm: don't use __GFP_HARDWALL when migrating remote pages" from David
Hildenbrand tightens the allocator's observance of __GFP_HARDWALL.

kernel build was demonstrated.
- "zram: split page type read/write handling" from Sergey Senozhatsky
has several fixes and cleaups for zram in the area of zram_write_page().
A watchdog softlockup warning was eliminated.
- "move pagetable_*_dtor() to __tlb_remove_table()" from Kevin Brodsky
cleans up the pagetable destructor implementations. A rare
use-after-free race is fixed.
- "mm/debug: introduce and use VM_WARN_ON_VMG()" from Lorenzo Stoakes
simplifies and cleans up the debugging code in the VMA merging logic.
- "Account page tables at all levels" from Kevin Brodsky cleans up and
regularizes the pagetable ctor/dtor handling. This results in
improvements in accounting accuracy.
- "mm/damon: replace most damon_callback usages in sysfs with new core
functions" from SeongJae Park cleans up and generalizes DAMON's sysfs
file interface logic.
- "mm/damon: enable page level properties based monitoring" from
SeongJae Park increases the amount of information which is presented in
response to DAMOS actions.
- "mm/damon: remove DAMON debugfs interface" from SeongJae Park removes
DAMON's long-deprecated debugfs interfaces. Thus the migration to sysfs
is completed.

Xu cleans up and generalizes the hugetlb reservation accounting.
- "mm: alloc_pages_bulk: small API refactor" from Luiz Capitulino
removes a never-used feature of the alloc_pages_bulk() interface.
- "mm/damon: extend DAMOS filters for inclusion" from SeongJae Park
extends DAMOS filters to support not only exclusion (rejecting), but
also inclusion (allowing) behavior.
- "Add zpdesc memory descriptor for zswap.zpool" from Alex Shi
"introduces a new memory descriptor for zswap.zpool that currently
overlaps with struct page for now. This is part of the effort to reduce
the size of struct page and to enable dynamic allocation of memory
descriptors."
- "mm, swap: rework of swap allocator locks" from Kairui Song redoes and
simplifies the swap allocator locking. A speedup of 400% was
demonstrated for one workload. As was a 35% reduction for kernel build
time with swap-on-zram.
- "mm: update mips to use do_mmap(), make mmap_region() internal" from
Lorenzo Stoakes reworks MIPS's use of mmap_region() so that
mmap_region() can be made MM-internal.
- "mm/mglru: performance optimizations" from Yu Zhao fixes a few MGLRU
regressions and otherwise improves MGLRU performance.
- "Docs/mm/damon: add tuning guide and misc updates" from SeongJae Park
updates DAMON documentation.
- "Cleanup for memfd_create()" from Isaac Manjarres does that thing.
- "mm: hugetlb+THP folio and migration cleanups" from David Hildenbrand
provides various cleanups in the areas of hugetlb folios, THP folios and
migration.
- "Uncached buffered IO" from Jens Axboe implements the new
RWF_DONTCACHE flag which provides synchronous dropbehind for pagecache
reading and writing. To permite userspace to address issues with
massive buildup of useless pagecache when reading/writing fast devices.
- "selftests/mm: virtual_address_range: Reduce memory" from Thomas
Weißschuh fixes and optimizes some of the MM selftests.

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.

essentially guessing which pfns are refcounted pages. The reason to
do so was that KVM needs to map both non-refcounted pages (for example
BARs of VFIO devices) and VM_PFNMAP/VM_MIXMEDMAP VMAs that contain
refcounted pages. However, the result was security issues in the past,
and more recently the inability to map VM_IO and VM_PFNMAP memory
that _is_ backed by struct page but is not refcounted. In particular
this broke virtio-gpu blob resources (which directly map host graphics
buffers into the guest as "vram" for the virtio-gpu device) with the
amdgpu driver, because amdgpu allocates non-compound higher order pages
and the tail pages could not be mapped into KVM.
This requires adjusting all uses of struct page in the per-architecture
code, to always work on the pfn whenever possible. The large series that
did this, from David Stevens and Sean Christopherson, also cleaned up
substantially the set of functions that provided arch code with the
pfn for a host virtual addresses. The previous maze of twisty little
passages, all different, is replaced by five functions (__gfn_to_page,
__kvm_faultin_pfn, the non-__ versions of these two, and kvm_prefetch_pages)
saving almost 200 lines of code.
ARM:
* Support for stage-1 permission indirection (FEAT_S1PIE) and
permission overlays (FEAT_S1POE), including nested virt + the
emulated page table walker
* Introduce PSCI SYSTEM_OFF2 support to KVM + client driver. This call
was introduced in PSCIv1.3 as a mechanism to request hibernation,
similar to the S4 state in ACPI
* Explicitly trap + hide FEAT_MPAM (QoS controls) from KVM guests. As
part of it, introduce trivial initialization of the host's MPAM
context so KVM can use the corresponding traps
* PMU support under nested virtualization, honoring the guest
hypervisor's trap configuration and event filtering when running a
nested guest
* Fixes to vgic ITS serialization where stale device/interrupt table
entries are not zeroed when the mapping is invalidated by the VM
* Avoid emulated MMIO completion if userspace has requested synchronous
external abort injection
* Various fixes and cleanups affecting pKVM, vCPU initialization, and
selftests
LoongArch:
* Add iocsr and mmio bus simulation in kernel.
* Add in-kernel interrupt controller emulation.
* Add support for virtualization extensions to the eiointc irqchip.
PPC:
* Drop lingering and utterly obsolete references to PPC970 KVM, which was
removed 10 years ago.
* Fix incorrect documentation references to non-existing ioctls
RISC-V:
* Accelerate KVM RISC-V when running as a guest
* Perf support to collect KVM guest statistics from host side
s390:
* New selftests: more ucontrol selftests and CPU model sanity checks
* Support for the gen17 CPU model
* List registers supported by KVM_GET/SET_ONE_REG in the documentation
x86:
* Cleanup KVM's handling of Accessed and Dirty bits to dedup code, improve
documentation, harden against unexpected changes. Even if the hardware
A/D tracking is disabled, it is possible to use the hardware-defined A/D
bits to track if a PFN is Accessed and/or Dirty, and that removes a lot
of special cases.
* Elide TLB flushes when aging secondary PTEs, as has been done in x86's
primary MMU for over 10 years.
* Recover huge pages in-place in the TDP MMU when dirty page logging is
toggled off, instead of zapping them and waiting until the page is
re-accessed to create a huge mapping. This reduces vCPU jitter.
* Batch TLB flushes when dirty page logging is toggled off. This reduces
the time it takes to disable dirty logging by ~3x.
* Remove the shrinker that was (poorly) attempting to reclaim shadow page
tables in low-memory situations.
* Clean up and optimize KVM's handling of writes to MSR_IA32_APICBASE.
* Advertise CPUIDs for new instructions in Clearwater Forest
* Quirk KVM's misguided behavior of initialized certain feature MSRs to
their maximum supported feature set, which can result in KVM creating
invalid vCPU state. E.g. initializing PERF_CAPABILITIES to a non-zero
value results in the vCPU having invalid state if userspace hides PDCM
from the guest, which in turn can lead to save/restore failures.
* Fix KVM's handling of non-canonical checks for vCPUs that support LA57
to better follow the "architecture", in quotes because the actual
behavior is poorly documented. E.g. most MSR writes and descriptor
table loads ignore CR4.LA57 and operate purely on whether the CPU
supports LA57.
* Bypass the register cache when querying CPL from kvm_sched_out(), as
filling the cache from IRQ context is generally unsafe; harden the
cache accessors to try to prevent similar issues from occuring in the
future. The issue that triggered this change was already fixed in 6.12,
but was still kinda latent.
* Advertise AMD_IBPB_RET to userspace, and fix a related bug where KVM
over-advertises SPEC_CTRL when trying to support cross-vendor VMs.
* Minor cleanups
* Switch hugepage recovery thread to use vhost_task. These kthreads can
consume significant amounts of CPU time on behalf of a VM or in response
to how the VM behaves (for example how it accesses its memory); therefore
KVM tried to place the thread in the VM's cgroups and charge the CPU
time consumed by that work to the VM's container. However the kthreads
did not process SIGSTOP/SIGCONT, and therefore cgroups which had KVM
instances inside could not complete freezing. Fix this by replacing the
kthread with a PF_USER_WORKER thread, via the vhost_task abstraction.
Another 100+ lines removed, with generally better behavior too like
having these threads properly parented in the process tree.
* Revert a workaround for an old CPU erratum (Nehalem/Westmere) that didn't
really work; there was really nothing to work around anyway: the broken
patch was meant to fix nested virtualization, but the PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL
MSR is virtualized and therefore unaffected by the erratum.
* Fix 6.12 regression where CONFIG_KVM will be built as a module even
if asked to be builtin, as long as neither KVM_INTEL nor KVM_AMD is 'y'.
x86 selftests:
* x86 selftests can now use AVX.
Documentation:
* Use rST internal links

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
"The biggest change here is eliminating the awful idea that KVM had of
essentially guessing which pfns are refcounted pages.
The reason to do so was that KVM needs to map both non-refcounted
pages (for example BARs of VFIO devices) and VM_PFNMAP/VM_MIXMEDMAP
VMAs that contain refcounted pages.
However, the result was security issues in the past, and more recently
the inability to map VM_IO and VM_PFNMAP memory that _is_ backed by
struct page but is not refcounted. In particular this broke virtio-gpu
blob resources (which directly map host graphics buffers into the
guest as "vram" for the virtio-gpu device) with the amdgpu driver,
because amdgpu allocates non-compound higher order pages and the tail
pages could not be mapped into KVM.
This requires adjusting all uses of struct page in the
per-architecture code, to always work on the pfn whenever possible.
The large series that did this, from David Stevens and Sean
Christopherson, also cleaned up substantially the set of functions
that provided arch code with the pfn for a host virtual addresses.
The previous maze of twisty little passages, all different, is
replaced by five functions (__gfn_to_page, __kvm_faultin_pfn, the
non-__ versions of these two, and kvm_prefetch_pages) saving almost
200 lines of code.
ARM:
- Support for stage-1 permission indirection (FEAT_S1PIE) and
permission overlays (FEAT_S1POE), including nested virt + the
emulated page table walker
- Introduce PSCI SYSTEM_OFF2 support to KVM + client driver. This
call was introduced in PSCIv1.3 as a mechanism to request
hibernation, similar to the S4 state in ACPI
- Explicitly trap + hide FEAT_MPAM (QoS controls) from KVM guests. As
part of it, introduce trivial initialization of the host's MPAM
context so KVM can use the corresponding traps
- PMU support under nested virtualization, honoring the guest
hypervisor's trap configuration and event filtering when running a
nested guest
- Fixes to vgic ITS serialization where stale device/interrupt table
entries are not zeroed when the mapping is invalidated by the VM
- Avoid emulated MMIO completion if userspace has requested
synchronous external abort injection
- Various fixes and cleanups affecting pKVM, vCPU initialization, and
selftests
LoongArch:
- Add iocsr and mmio bus simulation in kernel.
- Add in-kernel interrupt controller emulation.
- Add support for virtualization extensions to the eiointc irqchip.
PPC:
- Drop lingering and utterly obsolete references to PPC970 KVM, which
was removed 10 years ago.
- Fix incorrect documentation references to non-existing ioctls
RISC-V:
- Accelerate KVM RISC-V when running as a guest
- Perf support to collect KVM guest statistics from host side
s390:
- New selftests: more ucontrol selftests and CPU model sanity checks
- Support for the gen17 CPU model
- List registers supported by KVM_GET/SET_ONE_REG in the
documentation
x86:
- Cleanup KVM's handling of Accessed and Dirty bits to dedup code,
improve documentation, harden against unexpected changes.
Even if the hardware A/D tracking is disabled, it is possible to
use the hardware-defined A/D bits to track if a PFN is Accessed
and/or Dirty, and that removes a lot of special cases.
- Elide TLB flushes when aging secondary PTEs, as has been done in
x86's primary MMU for over 10 years.
- Recover huge pages in-place in the TDP MMU when dirty page logging
is toggled off, instead of zapping them and waiting until the page
is re-accessed to create a huge mapping. This reduces vCPU jitter.
- Batch TLB flushes when dirty page logging is toggled off. This
reduces the time it takes to disable dirty logging by ~3x.
- Remove the shrinker that was (poorly) attempting to reclaim shadow
page tables in low-memory situations.
- Clean up and optimize KVM's handling of writes to
MSR_IA32_APICBASE.
- Advertise CPUIDs for new instructions in Clearwater Forest
- Quirk KVM's misguided behavior of initialized certain feature MSRs
to their maximum supported feature set, which can result in KVM
creating invalid vCPU state. E.g. initializing PERF_CAPABILITIES to
a non-zero value results in the vCPU having invalid state if
userspace hides PDCM from the guest, which in turn can lead to
save/restore failures.
- Fix KVM's handling of non-canonical checks for vCPUs that support
LA57 to better follow the "architecture", in quotes because the
actual behavior is poorly documented. E.g. most MSR writes and
descriptor table loads ignore CR4.LA57 and operate purely on
whether the CPU supports LA57.
- Bypass the register cache when querying CPL from kvm_sched_out(),
as filling the cache from IRQ context is generally unsafe; harden
the cache accessors to try to prevent similar issues from occuring
in the future. The issue that triggered this change was already
fixed in 6.12, but was still kinda latent.
- Advertise AMD_IBPB_RET to userspace, and fix a related bug where
KVM over-advertises SPEC_CTRL when trying to support cross-vendor
VMs.
- Minor cleanups
- Switch hugepage recovery thread to use vhost_task.
These kthreads can consume significant amounts of CPU time on
behalf of a VM or in response to how the VM behaves (for example
how it accesses its memory); therefore KVM tried to place the
thread in the VM's cgroups and charge the CPU time consumed by that
work to the VM's container.
However the kthreads did not process SIGSTOP/SIGCONT, and therefore
cgroups which had KVM instances inside could not complete freezing.
Fix this by replacing the kthread with a PF_USER_WORKER thread, via
the vhost_task abstraction. Another 100+ lines removed, with
generally better behavior too like having these threads properly
parented in the process tree.
- Revert a workaround for an old CPU erratum (Nehalem/Westmere) that
didn't really work; there was really nothing to work around anyway:
the broken patch was meant to fix nested virtualization, but the
PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL MSR is virtualized and therefore unaffected by the
erratum.
- Fix 6.12 regression where CONFIG_KVM will be built as a module even
if asked to be builtin, as long as neither KVM_INTEL nor KVM_AMD is
'y'.
x86 selftests:
- x86 selftests can now use AVX.
Documentation:
- Use rST internal links
- Reorganize the introduction to the API document
Generic:
- Protect vcpu->pid accesses outside of vcpu->mutex with a rwlock
instead of RCU, so that running a vCPU on a different task doesn't
encounter long due to having to wait for all CPUs become quiescent.
In general both reads and writes are rare, but userspace that
supports confidential computing is introducing the use of "helper"
vCPUs that may jump from one host processor to another. Those will
be very happy to trigger a synchronize_rcu(), and the effect on
performance is quite the disaster"

Interrupts can be routed to maximal four virtual CPUs with real HW
EIOINTC interrupt controller model, since interrupt routing is encoded
with CPU bitmap and EIOINTC node combined method. Here add the EIOINTC
virt extension support so that interrupts can be routed to 256 vCPUs in
virtual machine mode. CPU bitmap is replaced with normal encoding and
EIOINTC node type is removed, so there are 8 bits for cpu selection, at
most 256 vCPUs are supported for interrupt routing.

It has entries (parse.c, for example) that will mask real changes to kernel

Update the kernel documentation (and translations) to remove references to

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

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

- cpuset isolation improvements.
- cpuset cgroup1 support is split into its own file behind the new config
option CONFIG_CPUSET_V1. This makes it the second controller which makes
cgroup1 support optional after memcg.
- Handling of unavailable v1 controller handling improved during cgroup1
mount operations.
- union_find applied to cpuset. It makes code simpler and more efficient.
- Reduce spurious events in pids.events.
- Cleanups and other misc changes.
- Contains a merge of cgroup/for-6.11-fixes to receive cpuset fixes that
further changes build upon.
