Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:

 - "selftests/mm: clean up build output and verbosity" (Li Wang)

   Remove some noise from the MM selftests build

 - "mm: Free contiguous order-0 pages efficiently" (Ryan Roberts)

   Speed up the freeing of a batch of 0-order pages by first scanning
   them for coalescing opportunities. This is applicable to vfree() and
   to the releasing of frozen pages

 - "mm/damon: introduce DAMOS failed region quota charge ratio"
   (SeongJae Park)

   Address a DAMOS usability issue: The DAMOS quota often exhausts
   prematurely because it charges for all memory attempted, causing slow
   and inconsistent performance when actions fail on unreclaimable
   memory.

   To fix this, a new feature lets users set a smaller, flexible quota
   charge ratio (via a numerator and denominator) for failed regions.
   Since failed actions cause less overhead, reducing their quota cost
   ensures more predictable and efficient DAMOS processing

 - "selftests/cgroup: improve zswap tests robustness and support large
   page sizes" (Li Wang)

   Fix various spurious failures and improves the overall robustness of
   the cgroup zswap selftests

 - "mm: Fix vmemmap optimization accounting and initialization" (Muchun
   Song)

   Fix several bugs in the vmemmap optimization, mainly around incorrect
   page accounting and memmap initialization in the DAX and memory
   hotplug paths. It also fixes pageblock migratetype initialization and
   struct page initialization for ZONE_DEVICE compound pages

 - "kasan: hw_tags: Disable tagging for stack and page-tables" (Muhammad
   Usama Anjum)

   Simplify and speed up kasan by removing its ineffective tagging of
   stacks and page tables

 - "mm/damon/reclaim,lru_sort: monitor all system rams by default"
   (SeongJae Park)

   Simplify deployment on diverse hardware like NUMA systems by updating
   DAMON_RECLAIM and DAMON_LRU_SORT to automatically monitor the
   physical address range covering all System RAM areas by default,
   replacing the overly restrictive behavior that only targeted the
   single largest memory block to save on negligible overhead

 - "mm/damon/sysfs: document filters/ directory as deprecated" (SeongJae
   Park)

   Update some DAMON docs

 - "mm: use spinlock guards for zone lock" (Dmitry Ilvokhin)

 - "mm/filemap: tighten mmap_miss hit accounting" (fujunjie)

   Fix a flaw where the mmap_miss counter over-credited page cache hits
   during fault-arounds and page-fault retries. This results in
   significant reduction of redundant synchronous mmap readahead I/O,
   drastically cutting down execution time and gigabytes read for sparse
   random or strided memory access workloads

   (Li Wang)

   Fix a couple of false-positives in the cgroup kmem selftests

 - "mm/damon/reclaim: support monitoring intervals auto-tuning"
   (SeongJae Park)

   Add a new parameter to DAMON permitting DAMON_RECLAIM to
   automatically tune DAMON's sampling and aggregation intervals

 - "mm/damon/stat: add kdamond_pid parameter" (SeongJae Park)

   Change DAMON_STAT to provide the pid of its kdamond

   Remove large amounts of duplicated backtraces from the verbose-mode
   kmemleak output

 - "mm: remove CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE (Part 1)" (David
   Hildenbrand)

   Reduce our use of CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE, with a view to
   removing it entirely in a later series

 - "mm/damon: validate min_region_size to be power of 2" (Liew Rui Yan)

   Prevent users from passing a non-power-of-2 value of `addr_unit', as
   this later results in undesirable behavior

 - "mm: document read_pages and simplify usage" (Frederick Mayle)

 - "tools/mm/page-types: Fix misc bugs" (Ye Liu)

   Fix three issues in tools/mm/page-types.c

 - "mm: misc cleanups from __GFP_UNMAPPED series" (Brendan Jackman)

   Implement several cleanups in the page allocator and related code

 - "mm, swap: swap table phase IV: unify allocation" (Kairui Song)

   Unify the allocation and charging of anon and shmem swap in folios,
   provides better synchronization, consolidates the metadata
   management, hence dropping the static array and map, and improves
   performance

 - "mm/damon: introduce data attributes monitoring" (SeongJae Park(

   Extend DAMON to monitor general data attributes other than accesses

 - "mm/vmalloc: free unused pages on vrealloc() shrink" (Shivam Kalra)

   shrinking across a page boundary

 - "mm/damon: documentation and comment fixes" (niecheng)

 - "remove mmap_action success, error hooks" (Lorenzo Stoakes)

   Eliminate custom hooks from mmap_action by removing the problematic
   success_hook which allowed drivers to improperly access uninitialized
   VMAs. It replaces the error_hook with a simple error-code field and
   updates the memory char driver accordingly

   writeback handling. Large performance improvements are measured

 - "use vma locks for proc/pid/{smaps|numa_maps} reads" (Suren
   Baghdasaryan)

   Use per-vma locks when reading /proc/pid/smaps and numa_maps similar
   to reduce contention on central mmap_lock

   Butt)

   Resolve a 68% performance regression caused by NUMA-node cache
   thrashing around struct obj_stock_pcp by shrinking its existing
   fields and expanding it into a multi-slot array that caches up to
   five obj_cgroup pointers per CPU, allowing per-node variants of the
   same memcg to coexist within a single 64-byte cache line.

 - "mm: switch THP shrinker to list_lru" (Johannes Weiner)

   refactoring and extending the list_lru API to completely replace the
   complex, open-coded deferred split queue for Transparent Huge Pages

 - "mm: improve large folio readahead for exec memory" (Usama Arif)

   Improve large-folio readahead on systems like 64K-page arm64 by

   force_thp_readahead gate to support mappings with any usefully large
   maximum folio order under the cache cap.

All THPs at fault and collapse time will be added to _deferred_list,

"underused". A THP is underused if the number of zero-filled pages in
the THP is above max_ptes_none (see below). It is possible to disable
this behaviour by writing 0 to shrink_underused, and enable it by writing

This is intended to prevent a user from starting a single memory hogging
process, such that they cannot recover (kill the hog).
This setting has no effect when overcommit_memory is set to 0 or 1.
user_reserve_kbytes defaults to min(3% of the current process size, 128MB).
If this is reduced to zero, then the user will be allowed to allocate
