Summary of significant series in this pull request:
- The 4 patch series "mm: ksm: prevent KSM from breaking merging of new VMAs" from 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. - The 4 patch series "mm/damon: introduce DAMON_STAT for simple and practical access monitoring" from SeongJae Park adds a new kernel module which simplifies the setup and usage of DAMON in production environments. - The 6 patch series "stop passing a writeback_control to swap/shmem writeout" from Christoph Hellwig is a cleanup to the writeback code which removes a couple of pointers from struct writeback_control. - The 7 patch series "drivers/base/node.c: optimization and cleanups" from Donet Tom contains largely uncorrelated cleanups to the NUMA node setup and management code. - The 4 patch series "mm: userfaultfd: assorted fixes and cleanups" from Tal Zussman does some maintenance work on the userfaultfd code. - The 5 patch series "Readahead tweaks for larger folios" from Ryan Roberts implements some tuneups for pagecache readahead when it is reading into order>0 folios. - The 4 patch series "selftests/mm: Tweaks to the cow test" from Mark Brown provides some cleanups and consistency improvements to the selftests code. - The 4 patch series "Optimize mremap() for large folios" from Dev Jain does that. A 37% reduction in execution time was measured in a memset+mremap+munmap microbenchmark. - The 5 patch series "Remove zero_user()" from Matthew Wilcox expunges zero_user() in favor of the more modern memzero_page(). - The 3 patch series "mm/huge_memory: vmf_insert_folio_*() and vmf_insert_pfn_pud() fixes" from 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. - The 3 patch series "mm/damon: use alloc_migrate_target() for DAMOS_MIGRATE_{HOT,COLD" from SeongJae Park provides some cleanup and consolidation work in DAMON. - The 3 patch series "use vm_flags_t consistently" from Lorenzo Stoakes uses vm_flags_t in places where we were inappropriately using other types. - The 3 patch series "mm/memfd: Reserve hugetlb folios before allocation" from Vivek Kasireddy increases the reliability of large page allocation in the memfd code. - The 14 patch series "mm: Remove pXX_devmap page table bit and pfn_t type" from Alistair Popple removes several now-unneeded PFN_* flags. - The 5 patch series "mm/damon: decouple sysfs from core" from SeongJae Park implememnts some cleanup and maintainability work in the DAMON sysfs layer. - The 5 patch series "madvise cleanup" from Lorenzo Stoakes does quite a lot of cleanup/maintenance work in the madvise() code. - The 4 patch series "madvise anon_name cleanups" from Vlastimil Babka provides additional cleanups on top or Lorenzo's effort. - The 11 patch series "Implement numa node notifier" from Oscar Salvador creates a standalone notifier for NUMA node memory state changes. Previously these were lumped under the more general memory on/offline notifier. - The 6 patch series "Make MIGRATE_ISOLATE a standalone bit" from Zi Yan cleans up the pageblock isolation code and fixes a potential issue which doesn't seem to cause any problems in practice. - The 5 patch series "selftests/damon: add python and drgn based DAMON sysfs functionality tests" from SeongJae Park adds additional drgn- and python-based DAMON selftests which are more comprehensive than the existing selftest suite. - The 5 patch series "Misc rework on hugetlb faulting path" from Oscar Salvador fixes a rather obscure deadlock in the hugetlb fault code and follows that fix with a series of cleanups. - The 3 patch series "cma: factor out allocation logic from __cma_declare_contiguous_nid" from Mike Rapoport rationalizes and cleans up the highmem-specific code in the CMA allocator. - The 28 patch series "mm/migration: rework movable_ops page migration (part 1)" from David Hildenbrand provides cleanups and future-preparedness to the migration code. - The 2 patch series "mm/damon: add trace events for auto-tuned monitoring intervals and DAMOS quota" from SeongJae Park adds some tracepoints to some DAMON auto-tuning code. - The 6 patch series "mm/damon: fix misc bugs in DAMON modules" from SeongJae Park does that. - The 6 patch series "mm/damon: misc cleanups" from SeongJae Park also does what it claims. - The 4 patch series "mm: folio_pte_batch() improvements" from David Hildenbrand cleans up the large folio PTE batching code. - The 13 patch series "mm/damon/vaddr: Allow interleaving in migrate_{hot,cold} actions" from SeongJae Park facilitates dynamic alteration of DAMON's inter-node allocation policy. - The 3 patch series "Remove unmap_and_put_page()" from Vishal Moola provides a couple of page->folio conversions. - The 4 patch series "mm: per-node proactive reclaim" from Davidlohr Bueso implements a per-node control of proactive reclaim - beyond the current memcg-based implementation. - The 14 patch series "mm/damon: remove damon_callback" from SeongJae Park replaces the damon_callback interface with a more general and powerful damon_call()+damos_walk() interface. - The 10 patch series "mm/mremap: permit mremap() move of multiple VMAs" from 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. - The 3 patch series "drop hugetlb_free_pgd_range()" from Anthony Yznaga switches some sparc hugetlb code over to the generic version and removes the thus-unneeded hugetlb_free_pgd_range(). - The 4 patch series "mm/damon/sysfs: support periodic and automated stats update" from 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. - The 4 patch series "Some randome fixes and cleanups to swapfile" from Kemeng Shi does what is claims. - The 4 patch series "mm: introduce snapshot_page" from 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. - The 6 patch series "use per-vma locks for /proc/pid/maps reads" from 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. - The 6 patch series "__folio_split() clean up" from Zi Yan cleans up __folio_split()! - The 7 patch series "Optimize mprotect() for large folios" from Dev Jain provides some quite large (>3x) speedups to mprotect() when dealing with large folios. - The 2 patch series "selftests/mm: reuse FORCE_READ to replace "asm volatile("" : "+r" (XXX));" and some cleanup" from wang lian does some cleanup work in the selftests code. - The 3 patch series "tools/testing: expand mremap testing" from 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. - The 22 patch series "selftests/damon/sysfs.py: test all parameters" from SeongJae Park extends the DAMON sysfs interface selftest so that it tests all possible user-requested parameters. Rather than the present minimal subset. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iHUEABYIAB0WIQTTMBEPP41GrTpTJgfdBJ7gKXxAjgUCaIqcCgAKCRDdBJ7gKXxA jkVBAQCCn9DR1QP0CRk961ot0cKzOgioSc0aA03DPb2KXRt2kQEAzDAz0ARurFhL 8BzbvI0c+4tntHLXvIlrC33n9KWAOQM= =XsFy -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'mm-stable-2025-07-30-15-25' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton: "As usual, many cleanups.

ftrace changes for v6.17:
- Keep track of when fgraph_ops are registered or not Keep accounting of when fgraph_ops are registered as if a fgraph_ops is registered twice it can mess up the accounting and it will not work as expected later. Trigger a warning if something registers it twice as to catch bugs before they are found by things just not working as expected. - Make DYNAMIC_FTRACE always enabled for architectures that support it As static ftrace (where all functions are always traced) is very expensive and only exists to help architectures support ftrace, do not make it an option. As soon as an architecture supports DYNAMIC_FTRACE make it use it. This simplifies the code. - Remove redundant config HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT_RECORD The CONFIG_HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT was added to help simplify the DYNAMIC_FTRACE work, but now every architecture that implements DYNAMIC_FTRACE also has HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT set too, making it redundant with the HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE. - Make pid_ptr string size match the comment In print_graph_proc() the pid_ptr string is of size 11, but the comment says /* sign + log10(MAX_INT) + '\0' */ which is actually 12. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iIoEABYKADIWIQRRSw7ePDh/lE+zeZMp5XQQmuv6qgUCaIkVkRQccm9zdGVkdEBn b29kbWlzLm9yZwAKCRAp5XQQmuv6qmdxAPsGcyT/gnyX/wf70cI63QoODrlRAd7M tg3R0J0H41U05QD/apttbA9GSdZ8bDLLSFAXTJgr8f4GvYvbUsmu2sMBBA8= =gd9V -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'ftrace-v6.17' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace Pull ftrace updates from Steven Rostedt: - Keep track of when fgraph_ops are registered or not Keep accounting of when fgraph_ops are registered as if a fgraph_ops is registered twice it can mess up the accounting and it will not work as expected later.

CRC updates for 6.17
Updates for the kernel's CRC (cyclic redundancy check) code: - Reorganize the architecture-optimized CRC code. It now lives in lib/crc/$(SRCARCH)/ rather than arch/$(SRCARCH)/lib/, and it is no longer artificially split into separate generic and arch modules. This allows better inlining and dead code elimination. The generic CRC code is also no longer exported, simplifying the API. (This mirrors the similar changes to SHA-1 and SHA-2 in lib/crypto/, which can be found in the "Crypto library updates" pull request.) - Improve crc32c() performance on newer x86_64 CPUs on long messages by enabling the VPCLMULQDQ optimized code. - Simplify the crypto_shash wrappers for crc32_le() and crc32c(). Register just one shash algorithm for each that uses the (fully optimized) library functions, instead of unnecessarily providing direct access to the generic CRC code. - Remove unused and obsolete drivers for hardware CRC engines. - Remove CRC-32 combination functions that are no longer used. - Add kerneldoc for crc32_le(), crc32_be(), and crc32c(). - Convert the crc32() macro to an inline function. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iIoEABYIADIWIQSacvsUNc7UX4ntmEPzXCl4vpKOKwUCaIZ8rRQcZWJpZ2dlcnNA a2VybmVsLm9yZwAKCRDzXCl4vpKOK3yOAP9OuoCirD42ZHNSgQeGTzhhZ2jCHiPN BPvHChwtE2MSRwEA0ddNX36aOiEKmpjog3TMllOIBz7wBrwZV7KgoX75+AU= =uAY8 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'crc-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiggers/linux Pull CRC updates from Eric Biggers: - Reorganize the architecture-optimized CRC code It now lives in lib/crc/$(SRCARCH)/ rather than arch/$(SRCARCH)/lib/, and it is no longer artificially split into separate generic and arch modules.

tracing: Remove redundant config HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT_RECORD
Ftrace is tightly coupled with architecture specific code because it requires the use of trampolines written in assembly. This means that when a new feature or optimization is made, it must be done for all architectures. To simplify the approach, CONFIG_HAVE_FTRACE_* configs are added to denote which architecture has the new enhancement so that other architectures can still function until they too have been updated. The CONFIG_HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT was added to help simplify the DYNAMIC_FTRACE work, but now every architecture that implements DYNAMIC_FTRACE also has HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT set too, making it redundant with the HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE. Remove the HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT config and use DYNAMIC_FTRACE directly where applicable.

stackleak: Rename STACKLEAK to KSTACK_ERASE
In preparation for adding Clang sanitizer coverage stack depth tracking that can support stack depth callbacks: - Add the new top-level CONFIG_KSTACK_ERASE option which will be implemented either with the stackleak GCC plugin, or with the Clang stack depth callback support. - Rename CONFIG_GCC_PLUGIN_STACKLEAK as needed to CONFIG_KSTACK_ERASE, but keep it for anything specific to the GCC plugin itself. - Rename all exposed "STACKLEAK" names and files to "KSTACK_ERASE" (named for what it does rather than what it protects against), but leave as many of the internals alone as possible to avoid even more churn. While here, also split "prev_lowest_stack" into CONFIG_KSTACK_ERASE_METRICS, since that's the only place it is referenced from.

x86/mm: Disable hugetlb page table sharing on 32-bit
Only select ARCH_WANT_HUGE_PMD_SHARE on 64-bit x86. Page table sharing requires at least three levels because it involves shared references to PMD tables; 32-bit x86 has either two-level paging (without PAE) or three-level paging (with PAE), but even with three-level paging, having a dedicated PGD entry for hugetlb is only barely possible (because the PGD only has four entries), and it seems unlikely anyone's actually using PMD sharing on 32-bit. Having ARCH_WANT_HUGE_PMD_SHARE enabled on non-PAE 32-bit X86 (which has 2-level paging) became particularly problematic after commit |

Only enable ROX cache in execmem when STRICT_MODULE_RWX is set to

- The 11 patch series "Add folio_mk_pte()" from Matthew Wilcox
simplifies the act of creating a pte which addresses the first page in a folio and reduces the amount of plumbing which architecture must implement to provide this. - The 8 patch series "Misc folio patches for 6.16" from Matthew Wilcox is a shower of largely unrelated folio infrastructure changes which clean things up and better prepare us for future work. - The 3 patch series "memory,x86,acpi: hotplug memory alignment advisement" from Gregory Price adds early-init code to prevent x86 from leaving physical memory unused when physical address regions are not aligned to memory block size. - The 2 patch series "mm/compaction: allow more aggressive proactive compaction" from Michal Clapinski provides some tuning of the (sadly, hard-coded (more sadly, not auto-tuned)) thresholds for our invokation of proactive compaction. In a simple test case, the reduction of a guest VM's memory consumption was dramatic. - The 8 patch series "Minor cleanups and improvements to swap freeing code" from Kemeng Shi provides some code cleaups and a small efficiency improvement to this part of our swap handling code. - The 6 patch series "ptrace: introduce PTRACE_SET_SYSCALL_INFO API" from Dmitry Levin adds the ability for a ptracer to modify syscalls arguments. At this time we can alter only "system call information that are used by strace system call tampering, namely, syscall number, syscall arguments, and syscall return value. This series should have been incorporated into mm.git's "non-MM" branch, but I goofed. - The 3 patch series "fs/proc: extend the PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl to report guard regions" from Andrei Vagin extends the info returned by the PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl against /proc/pid/pagemap. This permits CRIU to more efficiently get at the info about guard regions. - The 2 patch series "Fix parameter passed to page_mapcount_is_type()" from Gavin Shan implements that fix. No runtime effect is expected because validate_page_before_insert() happens to fix up this error. - The 3 patch series "kernel/events/uprobes: uprobe_write_opcode() rewrite" from David Hildenbrand basically brings uprobe text poking into the current decade. Remove a bunch of hand-rolled implementation in favor of using more current facilities. - The 3 patch series "mm/ptdump: Drop assumption that pxd_val() is u64" from Anshuman Khandual provides enhancements and generalizations to the pte dumping code. This might be needed when 128-bit Page Table Descriptors are enabled for ARM. - The 12 patch series "Always call constructor for kernel page tables" from Kevin Brodsky "ensures that the ctor/dtor is always called for kernel pgtables, as it already is for user pgtables". This permits the addition of more functionality such as "insert hooks to protect page tables". This change does result in various architectures performing unnecesary work, but this is fixed up where it is anticipated to occur. - The 9 patch series "Rust support for mm_struct, vm_area_struct, and mmap" from Alice Ryhl adds plumbing to permit Rust access to core MM structures. - The 3 patch series "fix incorrectly disallowed anonymous VMA merges" from Lorenzo Stoakes takes advantage of some VMA merging opportunities which we've been missing for 15 years. - The 4 patch series "mm/madvise: batch tlb flushes for MADV_DONTNEED and MADV_FREE" from SeongJae Park optimizes process_madvise()'s TLB flushing. Instead of flushing each address range in the provided iovec, we batch the flushing across all the iovec entries. The syscall's cost was approximately halved with a microbenchmark which was designed to load this particular operation. - The 6 patch series "Track node vacancy to reduce worst case allocation counts" from Sidhartha Kumar makes the maple tree smarter about its node preallocation. stress-ng mmap performance increased by single-digit percentages and the amount of unnecessarily preallocated memory was dramaticelly reduced. - The 3 patch series "mm/gup: Minor fix, cleanup and improvements" from Baoquan He removes a few unnecessary things which Baoquan noted when reading the code. - The 3 patch series ""Enhance sysfs handling for memory hotplug in weighted interleave" from Rakie Kim "enhances the weighted interleave policy in the memory management subsystem by improving sysfs handling, fixing memory leaks, and introducing dynamic sysfs updates for memory hotplug support". Fixes things on error paths which we are unlikely to hit. - The 7 patch series "mm/damon: auto-tune DAMOS for NUMA setups including tiered memory" from SeongJae Park introduces new DAMOS quota goal metrics which eliminate the manual tuning which is required when utilizing DAMON for memory tiering. - The 5 patch series "mm/vmalloc.c: code cleanup and improvements" from Baoquan He provides cleanups and small efficiency improvements which Baoquan found via code inspection. - The 2 patch series "vmscan: enforce mems_effective during demotion" from Gregory Price "changes reclaim to respect cpuset.mems_effective during demotion when possible". because "presently, reclaim explicitly ignores cpuset.mems_effective when demoting, which may cause the cpuset settings to violated." "This is useful for isolating workloads on a multi-tenant system from certain classes of memory more consistently." - The 2 patch series ""Clean up split_huge_pmd_locked() and remove unnecessary folio pointers" from Gavin Guo provides minor cleanups and efficiency gains in in the huge page splitting and migrating code. - The 3 patch series "Use kmem_cache for memcg alloc" from Huan Yang creates a slab cache for `struct mem_cgroup', yielding improved memory utilization. - The 4 patch series "add max arg to swappiness in memory.reclaim and lru_gen" from Zhongkun He adds a new "max" argument to the "swappiness=" argument for memory.reclaim MGLRU's lru_gen. This directs proactive reclaim to reclaim from only anon folios rather than file-backed folios. - The 17 patch series "kexec: introduce Kexec HandOver (KHO)" from Mike Rapoport is the first step on the path to permitting the kernel to maintain existing VMs while replacing the host kernel via file-based kexec. At this time only memblock's reserve_mem is preserved. - The 7 patch series "mm: Introduce for_each_valid_pfn()" from David Woodhouse provides and uses a smarter way of looping over a pfn range. By skipping ranges of invalid pfns. - The 2 patch series "sched/numa: Skip VMA scanning on memory pinned to one NUMA node via cpuset.mems" from Libo Chen removes a lot of pointless VMA scanning when a task is pinned a single NUMA mode. Dramatic performance benefits were seen in some real world cases. - The 2 patch series "JFS: Implement migrate_folio for jfs_metapage_aops" from Shivank Garg addresses a warning which occurs during memory compaction when using JFS. - The 4 patch series "move all VMA allocation, freeing and duplication logic to mm" from Lorenzo Stoakes moves some VMA code from kernel/fork.c into the more appropriate mm/vma.c. - The 6 patch series "mm, swap: clean up swap cache mapping helper" from Kairui Song provides code consolidation and cleanups related to the folio_index() function. - The 2 patch series "mm/gup: Cleanup memfd_pin_folios()" from Vishal Moola does that. - The 8 patch series "memcg: Fix test_memcg_min/low test failures" from Waiman Long addresses some bogus failures which are being reported by the test_memcontrol selftest. - The 3 patch series "eliminate mmap() retry merge, add .mmap_prepare hook" from Lorenzo Stoakes commences the deprecation of file_operations.mmap() in favor of the new file_operations.mmap_prepare(). The latter is more restrictive and prevents drivers from messing with things in ways which, amongst other problems, may defeat VMA merging. - The 4 patch series "memcg: decouple memcg and objcg stocks"" from Shakeel Butt decouples the per-cpu memcg charge cache from the objcg's one. This is a step along the way to making memcg and objcg charging NMI-safe, which is a BPF requirement. - The 6 patch series "mm/damon: minor fixups and improvements for code, tests, and documents" from SeongJae Park is "yet another batch of miscellaneous DAMON changes. Fix and improve minor problems in code, tests and documents." - The 7 patch series "memcg: make memcg stats irq safe" from Shakeel Butt converts memcg stats to be irq safe. Another step along the way to making memcg charging and stats updates NMI-safe, a BPF requirement. - The 4 patch series "Let unmap_hugepage_range() and several related functions take folio instead of page" from Fan Ni provides folio conversions in the hugetlb code. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iHUEABYKAB0WIQTTMBEPP41GrTpTJgfdBJ7gKXxAjgUCaDt5qgAKCRDdBJ7gKXxA ju6XAP9nTiSfRz8Cz1n5LJZpFKEGzLpSihCYyR6P3o1L9oe3mwEAlZ5+XAwk2I5x Qqb/UGMEpilyre1PayQqOnct3aSL9Ao= =tYYm -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'mm-stable-2025-05-31-14-50' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton: - "Add folio_mk_pte()" from Matthew Wilcox simplifies the act of creating a pte which addresses the first page in a folio and reduces the amount of plumbing which architecture must implement to provide this. - "Misc folio patches for 6.16" from Matthew Wilcox is a shower of largely unrelated folio infrastructure changes which clean things up and better prepare us for future work. - "memory,x86,acpi: hotplug memory alignment advisement" from Gregory Price adds early-init code to prevent x86 from leaving physical memory unused when physical address regions are not aligned to memory block size. - "mm/compaction: allow more aggressive proactive compaction" from Michal Clapinski provides some tuning of the (sadly, hard-coded (more sadly, not auto-tuned)) thresholds for our invokation of proactive compaction.

This is useful for isolating workloads on a multi-tenant system from certain classes of memory more consistently. - "Clean up split_huge_pmd_locked() and remove unnecessary folio pointers" from Gavin Guo provides minor cleanups and efficiency gains in in the huge page splitting and migrating code. - "Use kmem_cache for memcg alloc" from Huan Yang creates a slab cache for `struct mem_cgroup', yielding improved memory utilization. - "add max arg to swappiness in memory.reclaim and lru_gen" from Zhongkun He adds a new "max" argument to the "swappiness=" argument for memory.reclaim MGLRU's lru_gen. This directs proactive reclaim to reclaim from only anon folios rather than file-backed folios. - "kexec: introduce Kexec HandOver (KHO)" from Mike Rapoport is the first step on the path to permitting the kernel to maintain existing VMs while replacing the host kernel via file-based kexec. At this time only memblock's reserve_mem is preserved. - "mm: Introduce for_each_valid_pfn()" from David Woodhouse provides and uses a smarter way of looping over a pfn range. By skipping ranges of invalid pfns. - "sched/numa: Skip VMA scanning on memory pinned to one NUMA node via cpuset.mems" from Libo Chen removes a lot of pointless VMA scanning when a task is pinned a single NUMA mode. Dramatic performance benefits were seen in some real world cases. - "JFS: Implement migrate_folio for jfs_metapage_aops" from Shivank Garg addresses a warning which occurs during memory compaction when using JFS. - "move all VMA allocation, freeing and duplication logic to mm" from Lorenzo Stoakes moves some VMA code from kernel/fork.c into the more appropriate mm/vma.c. - "mm, swap: clean up swap cache mapping helper" from Kairui Song provides code consolidation and cleanups related to the folio_index() function. - "mm/gup: Cleanup memfd_pin_folios()" from Vishal Moola does that. - "memcg: Fix test_memcg_min/low test failures" from Waiman Long addresses some bogus failures which are being reported by the test_memcontrol selftest. - "eliminate mmap() retry merge, add .mmap_prepare hook" from Lorenzo Stoakes commences the deprecation of file_operations.mmap() in favor of the new file_operations.mmap_prepare(). The latter is more restrictive and prevents drivers from messing with things in ways which, amongst other problems, may defeat VMA merging. - "memcg: decouple memcg and objcg stocks"" from Shakeel Butt decouples the per-cpu memcg charge cache from the objcg's one. This is a step along the way to making memcg and objcg charging NMI-safe, which is a BPF requirement. - "mm/damon: minor fixups and improvements for code, tests, and documents" from SeongJae Park is yet another batch of miscellaneous DAMON changes. Fix and improve minor problems in code, tests and documents. - "memcg: make memcg stats irq safe" from Shakeel Butt converts memcg stats to be irq safe.

I'd describe this one as a good old CPU bug where the behavior is _obviously_ wrong, but since it just results in bad predictions it wasn't wrong enough to notice. Well, the researchers noticed and also realized that thus bug undermined a bunch of existing indirect branch mitigations. Thus the unusually wide impact on this one. Details: ITS is a bug in some Intel CPUs that affects indirect branches including RETs in the first half of a cacheline. Due to ITS such branches may get wrongly predicted to a target of (direct or indirect) branch that is located in the second half of a cacheline. Researchers at VUSec found this behavior and reported to Intel. Affected processors: - Cascade Lake, Cooper Lake, Whiskey Lake V, Coffee Lake R, Comet Lake, Ice Lake, Tiger Lake and Rocket Lake. Scope of impact: - Guest/host isolation: When eIBRS is used for guest/host isolation, the indirect branches in the VMM may still be predicted with targets corresponding to direct branches in the guest. - Intra-mode using cBPF: cBPF can be used to poison the branch history to exploit ITS. Realigning the indirect branches and RETs mitigates this attack vector. - User/kernel: With eIBRS enabled user/kernel isolation is *not* impacted by ITS. - Indirect Branch Prediction Barrier (IBPB): Due to this bug indirect branches may be predicted with targets corresponding to direct branches which were executed prior to IBPB. This will be fixed in the microcode. Mitigation: As indirect branches in the first half of cacheline are affected, the mitigation is to replace those indirect branches with a call to thunk that is aligned to the second half of the cacheline. RETs that take prediction from RSB are not affected, but they may be affected by RSB-underflow condition. So, RETs in the first half of cacheline are also patched to a return thunk that executes the RET aligned to second half of cacheline" * tag 'its-for-linus-20250509' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: selftest/x86/bugs: Add selftests for ITS x86/its: FineIBT-paranoid vs ITS x86/its: Use dynamic thunks for indirect branches x86/ibt: Keep IBT disabled during alternative patching mm/execmem: Unify early execmem_cache behaviour x86/its: Align RETs in BHB clear sequence to avoid thunking x86/its: Add support for RSB stuffing mitigation x86/its: Add "vmexit" option to skip mitigation on some CPUs x86/its: Enable Indirect Target Selection mitigation x86/its: Add support for ITS-safe return thunk x86/its: Add support for ITS-safe indirect thunk x86/its: Enumerate Indirect Target Selection (ITS) bug Documentation: x86/bugs/its: Add ITS documentation |

x86/its: Use dynamic thunks for indirect branches
ITS mitigation moves the unsafe indirect branches to a safe thunk. This could degrade the prediction accuracy as the source address of indirect branches becomes same for different execution paths. To improve the predictions, and hence the performance, assign a separate thunk for each indirect callsite. This is also a defense-in-depth measure to avoid indirect branches aliasing with each other. As an example, 5000 dynamic thunks would utilize around 16 bits of the address space, thereby gaining entropy. For a BTB that uses 32 bits for indexing, dynamic thunks could provide better prediction accuracy over fixed thunks. Have ITS thunks be variable sized and use EXECMEM_MODULE_TEXT such that they are both more flexible (got to extend them later) and live in 2M TLBs, just like kernel code, avoiding undue TLB pressure.

x86/its: Add support for ITS-safe indirect thunk
Due to ITS, indirect branches in the lower half of a cacheline may be vulnerable to branch target injection attack. Introduce ITS-safe thunks to patch indirect branches in the lower half of cacheline with the thunk. Also thunk any eBPF generated indirect branches in emit_indirect_jump(). Below category of indirect branches are not mitigated: - Indirect branches in the .init section are not mitigated because they are discarded after boot. - Indirect branches that are explicitly marked retpoline-safe. Note that retpoline also mitigates the indirect branches against ITS. This is because the retpoline sequence fills an RSB entry before RET, and it does not suffer from RSB-underflow part of the ITS.

- The 6 patch series "Enable strict percpu address space checks" from
Uros Bizjak uses x86 named address space qualifiers to provide compile-time checking of percpu area accesses. This has caused a small amount of fallout - two or three issues were reported. In all cases the calling code was founf to be incorrect. - The 4 patch series "Some cleanup for memcg" from Chen Ridong implements some relatively monir cleanups for the memcontrol code. - The 17 patch series "mm: fixes for device-exclusive entries (hmm)" from David Hildenbrand fixes a boatload of issues which David found then using device-exclusive PTE entries when THP is enabled. More work is needed, but this makes thins better - our own HMM selftests now succeed. - The 2 patch series "mm: zswap: remove z3fold and zbud" from Yosry Ahmed remove the z3fold and zbud implementations. They have been deprecated for half a year and nobody has complained. - The 5 patch series "mm: further simplify VMA merge operation" from Lorenzo Stoakes implements numerous simplifications in this area. No runtime effects are anticipated. - The 4 patch series "mm/madvise: remove redundant mmap_lock operations from process_madvise()" from SeongJae Park rationalizes the locking in the madvise() implementation. Performance gains of 20-25% were observed in one MADV_DONTNEED microbenchmark. - The 12 patch series "Tiny cleanup and improvements about SWAP code" from Baoquan He contains a number of touchups to issues which Baoquan noticed when working on the swap code. - The 2 patch series "mm: kmemleak: Usability improvements" from Catalin Marinas implements a couple of improvements to the kmemleak user-visible output. - The 2 patch series "mm/damon/paddr: fix large folios access and schemes handling" from Usama Arif provides a couple of fixes for DAMON's handling of large folios. - The 3 patch series "mm/damon/core: fix wrong and/or useless damos_walk() behaviors" from SeongJae Park fixes a few issues with the accuracy of kdamond's walking of DAMON regions. - The 3 patch series "expose mapping wrprotect, fix fb_defio use" from Lorenzo Stoakes changes the interaction between framebuffer deferred-io and core MM. No functional changes are anticipated - this is preparatory work for the future removal of page structure fields. - The 4 patch series "mm/damon: add support for hugepage_size DAMOS filter" from Usama Arif adds a DAMOS filter which permits the filtering by huge page sizes. - The 4 patch series "mm: permit guard regions for file-backed/shmem mappings" from Lorenzo Stoakes extends the guard region feature from its present "anon mappings only" state. The feature now covers shmem and file-backed mappings. - The 4 patch series "mm: batched unmap lazyfree large folios during reclamation" from Barry Song cleans up and speeds up the unmapping for pte-mapped large folios. - The 18 patch series "reimplement per-vma lock as a refcount" from Suren Baghdasaryan puts the vm_lock back into the vma. Our reasons for pulling it out were largely bogus and that change made the code more messy. This patchset provides small (0-10%) improvements on one microbenchmark. - The 5 patch series "Docs/mm/damon: misc DAMOS filters documentation fixes and improves" from SeongJae Park does some maintenance work on the DAMON docs. - The 27 patch series "hugetlb/CMA improvements for large systems" from Frank van der Linden addresses a pile of issues which have been observed when using CMA on large machines. - The 2 patch series "mm/damon: introduce DAMOS filter type for unmapped pages" from SeongJae Park enables users of DMAON/DAMOS to filter my the page's mapped/unmapped status. - The 19 patch series "zsmalloc/zram: there be preemption" from Sergey Senozhatsky teaches zram to run its compression and decompression operations preemptibly. - The 12 patch series "selftests/mm: Some cleanups from trying to run them" from Brendan Jackman fixes a pile of unrelated issues which Brendan encountered while runnimg our selftests. - The 2 patch series "fs/proc/task_mmu: add guard region bit to pagemap" from Lorenzo Stoakes permits userspace to use /proc/pid/pagemap to determine whether a particular page is a guard page. - The 7 patch series "mm, swap: remove swap slot cache" from Kairui Song removes the swap slot cache from the allocation path - it simply wasn't being effective. - The 5 patch series "mm: cleanups for device-exclusive entries (hmm)" from David Hildenbrand implements a number of unrelated cleanups in this code. - The 5 patch series "mm: Rework generic PTDUMP configs" from Anshuman Khandual implements a number of preparatoty cleanups to the GENERIC_PTDUMP Kconfig logic. - The 8 patch series "mm/damon: auto-tune aggregation interval" from SeongJae Park implements a feedback-driven automatic tuning feature for DAMON's aggregation interval tuning. - The 5 patch series "Fix lazy mmu mode" from Ryan Roberts fixes some issues in powerpc, sparc and x86 lazy MMU implementations. Ryan did this in preparation for implementing lazy mmu mode for arm64 to optimize vmalloc. - The 2 patch series "mm/page_alloc: Some clarifications for migratetype fallback" from Brendan Jackman reworks some commentary to make the code easier to follow. - The 3 patch series "page_counter cleanup and size reduction" from Shakeel Butt cleans up the page_counter code and fixes a size increase which we accidentally added late last year. - The 3 patch series "Add a command line option that enables control of how many threads should be used to allocate huge pages" from Thomas Prescher does that. It allows the careful operator to significantly reduce boot time by tuning the parallalization of huge page initialization. - The 3 patch series "Fix calculations in trace_balance_dirty_pages() for cgwb" from Tang Yizhou fixes the tracing output from the dirty page balancing code. - The 9 patch series "mm/damon: make allow filters after reject filters useful and intuitive" from SeongJae Park improves the handling of allow and reject filters. Behaviour is made more consistent and the documention is updated accordingly. - The 5 patch series "Switch zswap to object read/write APIs" from Yosry Ahmed updates zswap to the new object read/write APIs and thus permits the removal of some legacy code from zpool and zsmalloc. - The 6 patch series "Some trivial cleanups for shmem" from Baolin Wang does as it claims. - The 20 patch series "fs/dax: Fix ZONE_DEVICE page reference counts" from Alistair Popple regularizes the weird ZONE_DEVICE page refcount handling in DAX, permittig the removal of a number of special-case checks. - The 4 patch series "refactor mremap and fix bug" from Lorenzo Stoakes is a preparatoty refactoring and cleanup of the mremap() code. - The 20 patch series "mm: MM owner tracking for large folios (!hugetlb) + CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT" from David Hildenbrand reworks the manner in which we determine whether a large folio is known to be mapped exclusively into a single MM. - The 8 patch series "mm/damon: add sysfs dirs for managing DAMOS filters based on handling layers" from SeongJae Park adds a couple of new sysfs directories to ease the management of DAMON/DAMOS filters. - The 13 patch series "arch, mm: reduce code duplication in mem_init()" from Mike Rapoport consolidates many per-arch implementations of mem_init() into code generic code, where that is practical. - The 13 patch series "mm/damon/sysfs: commit parameters online via damon_call()" from SeongJae Park continues the cleaning up of sysfs access to DAMON internal data. - The 3 patch series "mm: page_ext: Introduce new iteration API" from Luiz Capitulino reworks the page_ext initialization to fix a boot-time crash which was observed with an unusual combination of compile and cmdline options. - The 8 patch series "Buddy allocator like (or non-uniform) folio split" from Zi Yan reworks the code to split a folio into smaller folios. The main benefit is lessened memory consumption: fewer post-split folios are generated. - The 2 patch series "Minimize xa_node allocation during xarry split" from Zi Yan reduces the number of xarray xa_nodes which are generated during an xarray split. - The 2 patch series "drivers/base/memory: Two cleanups" from Gavin Shan performs some maintenance work on the drivers/base/memory code. - The 3 patch series "Add tracepoints for lowmem reserves, watermarks and totalreserve_pages" from Martin Liu adds some more tracepoints to the page allocator code. - The 4 patch series "mm/madvise: cleanup requests validations and classifications" from SeongJae Park cleans up some warts which SeongJae observed during his earlier madvise work. - The 3 patch series "mm/hwpoison: Fix regressions in memory failure handling" from Shuai Xue addresses two quite serious regressions which Shuai has observed in the memory-failure implementation. - The 5 patch series "mm: reliable huge page allocator" from Johannes Weiner makes huge page allocations cheaper and more reliable by reducing fragmentation. - The 5 patch series "Minor memcg cleanups & prep for memdescs" from Matthew Wilcox is preparatory work for the future implementation of memdescs. - The 4 patch series "track memory used by balloon drivers" from Nico Pache introduces a way to track memory used by our various balloon drivers. - The 2 patch series "mm/damon: introduce DAMOS filter type for active pages" from Nhat Pham permits users to filter for active/inactive pages, separately for file and anon pages. - The 2 patch series "Adding Proactive Memory Reclaim Statistics" from Hao Jia separates the proactive reclaim statistics from the direct reclaim statistics. - The 2 patch series "mm/vmscan: don't try to reclaim hwpoison folio" from Jinjiang Tu fixes our handling of hwpoisoned pages within the reclaim code. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iHQEABYKAB0WIQTTMBEPP41GrTpTJgfdBJ7gKXxAjgUCZ+nZaAAKCRDdBJ7gKXxA jsOWAPiP4r7CJHMZRK4eyJOkvS1a1r+TsIarrFZtjwvf/GIfAQCEG+JDxVfUaUSF Ee93qSSLR1BkNdDw+931Pu0mXfbnBw== =Pn2K -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'mm-stable-2025-03-30-16-52' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton: - The series "Enable strict percpu address space checks" from Uros Bizjak uses x86 named address space qualifiers to provide compile-time checking of percpu area accesses.

x86/tdx: Fix arch_safe_halt() execution for TDX VMs
Direct HLT instruction execution causes #VEs for TDX VMs which is routed to hypervisor via TDCALL. If HLT is executed in STI-shadow, resulting #VE handler will enable interrupts before TDCALL is routed to hypervisor leading to missed wakeup events, as current TDX spec doesn't expose interruptibility state information to allow #VE handler to selectively enable interrupts.

Another set of improvements to the kernel's CRC (cyclic redundancy check) code: - Rework the CRC64 library functions to be directly optimized, like what I did last cycle for the CRC32 and CRC-T10DIF library functions. - Rewrite the x86 PCLMULQDQ-optimized CRC code, and add VPCLMULQDQ support and acceleration for crc64_be and crc64_nvme. - Rewrite the riscv Zbc-optimized CRC code, and add acceleration for crc_t10dif, crc64_be, and crc64_nvme. - Remove crc_t10dif and crc64_rocksoft from the crypto API, since they are no longer needed there. - Rename crc64_rocksoft to crc64_nvme, as the old name was incorrect. - Add kunit test cases for crc64_nvme and crc7. - Eliminate redundant functions for calculating the Castagnoli CRC32, settling on just crc32c(). - Remove unnecessary prompts from some of the CRC kconfig options. - Further optimize the x86 crc32c code. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iIoEABYIADIWIQSacvsUNc7UX4ntmEPzXCl4vpKOKwUCZ+CGGhQcZWJpZ2dlcnNA Z29vZ2xlLmNvbQAKCRDzXCl4vpKOK3wRAP4tbnzawUmlIHIF0hleoADXehUgAhMt NZn15mGvyiuwIQEA8W9qvnLdFXZkdxhxAEvDDFjyrRauL6eGtr/GvCx4AQY= =wmKG -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'crc-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiggers/linux Pull CRC updates from Eric Biggers: "Another set of improvements to the kernel's CRC (cyclic redundancy check) code: - Rework the CRC64 library functions to be directly optimized, like what I did last cycle for the CRC32 and CRC-T10DIF library functions - Rewrite the x86 PCLMULQDQ-optimized CRC code, and add VPCLMULQDQ support and acceleration for crc64_be and crc64_nvme - Rewrite the riscv Zbc-optimized CRC code, and add acceleration for crc_t10dif, crc64_be, and crc64_nvme - Remove crc_t10dif and crc64_rocksoft from the crypto API, since they are no longer needed there - Rename crc64_rocksoft to crc64_nvme, as the old name was incorrect - Add kunit test cases for crc64_nvme and crc7 - Eliminate redundant functions for calculating the Castagnoli CRC32, settling on just crc32c() - Remove unnecessary prompts from some of the CRC kconfig options - Further optimize the x86 crc32c code" * tag 'crc-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiggers/linux: (36 commits) x86/crc: drop the avx10_256 functions and rename avx10_512 to avx512 lib/crc: remove unnecessary prompt for CONFIG_CRC64 lib/crc: remove unnecessary prompt for CONFIG_LIBCRC32C lib/crc: remove unnecessary prompt for CONFIG_CRC8 lib/crc: remove unnecessary prompt for CONFIG_CRC7 lib/crc: remove unnecessary prompt for CONFIG_CRC4 lib/crc7: unexport crc7_be_syndrome_table lib/crc_kunit.c: update comment in crc_benchmark() lib/crc_kunit.c: add test and benchmark for crc7_be() x86/crc32: optimize tail handling for crc32c short inputs riscv/crc64: add Zbc optimized CRC64 functions riscv/crc-t10dif: add Zbc optimized CRC-T10DIF function riscv/crc32: reimplement the CRC32 functions using new template riscv/crc: add "template" for Zbc optimized CRC functions x86/crc: add ANNOTATE_NOENDBR to suppress objtool warnings x86/crc32: improve crc32c_arch() code generation with clang x86/crc64: implement crc64_be and crc64_nvme using new template x86/crc-t10dif: implement crc_t10dif using new template x86/crc32: implement crc32_le using new template x86/crc: add "template" for [V]PCLMULQDQ based CRC functions ... |

Updates for the VDSO infrastructure:
- Consolidate the VDSO storage The VDSO data storage and data layout has been largely architecture specific for historical reasons. That increases the maintenance effort and causes inconsistencies over and over. There is no real technical reason for architecture specific layouts and implementations. The architecture specific details can easily be integrated into a generic layout, which also reduces the amount of duplicated code for managing the mappings. Convert all architectures over to a unified layout and common mapping infrastructure. This splits the VDSO data layout into subsystem specific blocks, timekeeping, random and architecture parts, which provides a better structure and allows to improve and update the functionalities without conflict and interaction. - Rework the timekeeping data storage The current implementation is designed for exposing system timekeeping accessors, which was good enough at the time when it was designed. PTP and Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) change that as there are requirements to expose independent PTP clocks, which are not related to system timekeeping. Replace the monolithic data storage by a structured layout, which allows to add support for independent PTP clocks on top while reusing both the data structures and the time accessor implementations. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQJHBAABCgAxFiEEQp8+kY+LLUocC4bMphj1TA10mKEFAmfgSWUTHHRnbHhAbGlu dXRyb25peC5kZQAKCRCmGPVMDXSYoYGED/0f/M8YyacAyErDYW4ufW+zh2sUidSf GVlK0Jn5BMljOoye+y2XfTxuvvXxEDjJNYiJm2uKGPdV29tjNXreGK39XyNqXPu5 jwR4f/IN/QVSM2nCO6jyydMz8ympJ2k6M4RewwmxXBL2KsUzzJWSKTgRNqM5Tdjs 1RhJMjkQVTiiSYerBpHXYCeZLM7/VEfZ120uuzVAYPXo0/R6zuyF7IBgIao9hbfO IQeCMLLfpDQHQhwquTA8ZbWqQusiEoSYHT+kTDa3eXDDbE/2UklAUs9gaatI979x 73zs0Yqxyx2iIGaghACWOAbKdcBWBeCYDw5fFwYVKn4VMQi1+wcxbtOYL767jp9o vfkLXGilXcVkvDjv4fH+e1NoJXXBxq1Ug1silKdOeJzenQF8Q1i3tavkWUVCNfwH qyOIM72NiCEWbYBDcz0lwBxEAyO4o0E6NP1bDc4y50VedEYIbXwSh0QGrdev1abn rjY9vsuUR9oznmZ6BRPPxMTY87gOSHoKvqydgSZUACEgLV9346f5qZf341OReYai MXUmXOM4+LdyaM1+Mec8ppvjMbLw+736NZyZtT2InusEBE+Ddp25L3hYiWnklJu8 2uwv0AoyrwaJ8y6ADOX4thcLZq0gND0Z/Ayz/XvpeI30eftsGUCt5KOVlqwfwOkI 4EQKvk2fAixPxg== =rwei -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'timers-vdso-2025-03-23' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull VDSO infrastructure updates from Thomas Gleixner: - Consolidate the VDSO storage The VDSO data storage and data layout has been largely architecture specific for historical reasons.

x86/Kconfig: Correct X86_X2APIC help text
Currently, it is not true that the kernel will panic with CONFIG_X86_X2APIC=n
on systems that require it; it will try to disable the APIC and run without
it to at least give the user a clear warning message. See the second
variant of check_x2apic() in arch/x86/kernel/apic/apic.c .
Also massage some other parts of the help text.

x86/Kconfig: Make CONFIG_PCI_CNB20LE_QUIRK depend on X86_32
I was unable to find a good description of the ServerWorks CNB20LE chipset. However, it was probably exclusively used with the Pentium III processor (this CPU model was used in all references to it that I found where the CPU model was provided: dmesgs in [1] and [2]; [3] page 2; [4]-[7]). As is widely known, the Pentium III processor did not support the 64-bit mode, support for which was introduced by Intel a couple of years later. So it is safe to assume that no systems with the CNB20LE chipset have amd64 and the CONFIG_PCI_CNB20LE_QUIRK may now depend on X86_32. Additionally, I have determined that most computers with the CNB20LE chipset did have ACPI support and this driver was inactive on them. I have submitted a patch to remove this driver, but it was met with resistance [8].
