1018424ace s390/smp: Add support for HOTPLUG_SMT
Add support for HOTPLUG_SMT. With this the s390 specific "nosmt" kernel
command line parameter handling is replaced with common code handling.

This means that just specifying "nosmt" still enables smt from an
architectural point of view, however only the primary (base) cpu can be set
online. Enabling smt during runtime via /sys/devices/system/cpu/smt/control
allows to set secondary cpus online. This way "nosmt" works like on other
architectures where enabling and disabling smt during runtime is possible.

If "nosmt=force" is specified smt is also still enabled from an
architectural point of view, but there is no way to set secondary cpus
online during runtime, also like on other architectures.

In order to disable smt from architectural point of view, which was
previously achieved with the s390 specific "nosmt" command line option,
"smt=1" can be used.

0ccff074d6 Merge tag 'for-linus-fwctl' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rdma/rdma
Pull fwctl subsystem from Jason Gunthorpe:
 "fwctl is a new subsystem intended to bring some common rules and order
  to the growing pattern of exposing a secure FW interface directly to
  userspace.

  Unlike existing places like RDMA/DRM/VFIO/uacce that are exposing a
  device for datapath operations fwctl is focused on debugging,
  configuration and provisioning of the device. It will not have the
  necessary features like interrupt delivery to support a datapath.

  This concept is similar to the long standing practice in the "HW" RAID
  space of having a device specific misc device to manage the RAID
  controller FW. fwctl generalizes this notion of a companion debug and
  management interface that goes along with a dataplane implemented in
  an appropriate subsystem.

  There have been three LWN articles written discussing various aspects
  of this:

	https://lwn.net/Articles/955001/
	https://lwn.net/Articles/969383/
	https://lwn.net/Articles/990802/

  This includes three drivers to launch the subsystem:

   - CXL provides a vendor scheme for executing commands and a way to
     learn the 'command effects' (ie the security properties) of such
     commands. The fwctl driver allows access to these mechanism within
     the fwctl security model

   - mlx5 is family of networking products, the driver supports all
     current Mellanox HW still receiving FW feature updates. This
     includes RDMA multiprotocol NICs like ConnectX and the Bluefield
     family of Smart NICs.

   - AMD/Pensando Distributed Services card is a multi protocol Smart
     NIC with a multi PCI function design. fwctl works on the management
     PCI function following a 'command effects' model similar to CXL"

5c5d0d7050 dm-verity: support block number limits for different ioprio classes
Calling verity_verify_io in bh for IO of all sizes is not suitable for
embedded devices. From our tests, it can improve the performance of 4K
synchronise random reads.
For example:
./fio --name=rand_read --ioengine=psync --rw=randread --bs=4K \
 --direct=1 --numjobs=8 --runtime=60 --time_based --group_reporting \
 --filename=/dev/block/mapper/xx-verity

But it will degrade the performance of 512K synchronise sequential reads
on our devices.
For example:
./fio --name=read --ioengine=psync --rw=read --bs=512K --direct=1 \
 --numjobs=8 --runtime=60 --time_based --group_reporting \
 --filename=/dev/block/mapper/xx-verity

A parameter array is introduced by this change. And users can modify the
default config by /sys/module/dm_verity/parameters/use_bh_bytes.

The default limits for NONE/RT/BE is set to 8192.
The default limits for IDLE is set to 0.

Call verity_verify_io directly when verity_end_io is not in hardirq.

Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek:

 - New option "printk.debug_non_panic_cpus" allows to store printk
   messages from non-panic CPUs during panic. It might be useful when
   panic() fails. It is disabled by default because it increases the
   chance to see the messages printed before panic() and on the
   panic-CPU.

 - New build option "CONFIG_NULL_TTY_DEFAULT_CONSOLE" allows to build
   kernel without the virtual terminal support which prefers ttynull
   over serial console.

 - Do not unblank suspended consoles.

744fab2d9f Merge tag 'trace-v6.15' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace
Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:

 - Add option traceoff_after_boot

   In order to debug kernel boot, it sometimes is helpful to enable
   tracing via the kernel command line. Unfortunately, by the time the
   login prompt appears, the trace is overwritten by the init process
   and other user space start up applications.

   Adding a "traceoff_after_boot" will disable tracing when the kernel
   passes control to init which will allow developers to be able to see
   the traces that occurred during boot.

 - Clean up the mmflags macros that display the GFP flags in trace
   events

   The macros to print the GFP flags for trace events had a bit of
   duplication. The code was restructured to remove duplication and in
   the process it also adds some flags that were missed before.

 - Removed some dead code and scripts/draw_functrace.py

   draw_functrace.py hasn't worked in years and as nobody complained
   about it, remove it.

 - Constify struct event_trigger_ops

   The event_trigger_ops is just a structure that has function pointers
   that are assigned when the variables are created. These variables
   should all be constants.

 - Other minor clean ups and fixes

  amd-pstate driver optimizations.

  Apart from the above, there are some cpuidle updates including a
  rework of the most recent idle intervals handling in the venerable
  menu governor that leads to significant improvements in some
  performance benchmarks, as the governor is now more likely to predict
  a shorter idle duration in some cases, and there are updates of the
  core device power management code, mostly related to system suspend
  and resume, that should help to avoid potential issues arising when
  the drivers of devices depending on one another want to use different
  optimizations.

  There is also a usual collection of assorted fixes and cleanups,
  including removal of some unused code.

  Specifics:

   - Manage sysfs attributes and boost frequencies efficiently from
     cpufreq core to reduce boilerplate code in drivers (Viresh Kumar)

   - Minor cleanups to cpufreq drivers (Aaron Kling, Benjamin Schneider,
     Dhananjay Ugwekar, Imran Shaik, zuoqian)

   - Migrate some cpufreq drivers to using for_each_present_cpu() (Jacky
     Bai)

   - cpufreq-qcom-hw DT binding fixes (Krzysztof Kozlowski)

   - Use str_enable_disable() helper in cpufreq_online() (Lifeng Zheng)

   - Optimize the amd-pstate driver to avoid cases where call paths end
     up calling the same writes multiple times and needlessly caching
     variables through code reorganization, locking overhaul and tracing
     adjustments (Mario Limonciello, Dhananjay Ugwekar)

   - Make it possible to avoid enabling capacity-aware scheduling (CAS)
     in the intel_pstate driver and relocate a check for out-of-band
     (OOB) platform handling in it to make it detect OOB before checking
     HWP availability (Rafael Wysocki)

   - Fix dbs_update() to avoid inadvertent conversions of negative
     integer values to unsigned int which causes CPU frequency selection
     to be inaccurate in some cases when the "conservative" cpufreq
     governor is in use (Jie Zhan)

   - Update the handling of the most recent idle intervals in the menu
     cpuidle governor to prevent useful information from being discarded
     by it in some cases and improve the prediction accuracy (Rafael
     Wysocki)

   - Make it possible to tell the intel_idle driver to ignore its
     built-in table of idle states for the given processor, clean up the
     handling of auto-demotion disabling on Baytrail and Cherrytrail
     chips in it, and update its MAINTAINERS entry (David Arcari, Artem
     Bityutskiy, Rafael Wysocki)

   - Make some cpuidle drivers use for_each_present_cpu() instead of
     for_each_possible_cpu() during initialization to avoid issues
     occurring when nosmp or maxcpus=0 are used (Jacky Bai)

   - Clean up the Energy Model handling code somewhat (Rafael Wysocki)

   - Use kfree_rcu() to simplify the handling of runtime Energy Model
     updates (Li RongQing)

   - Add an entry for the Energy Model framework to MAINTAINERS as
     properly maintained (Lukasz Luba)

   - Address RCU-related sparse warnings in the Energy Model code
     (Rafael Wysocki)

   - Remove ENERGY_MODEL dependency on SMP and allow it to be selected
     when DEVFREQ is set without CPUFREQ so it can be used on a wider
     range of systems (Jeson Gao)

   - Unify error handling during runtime suspend and runtime resume in
     the core to help drivers to implement more consistent runtime PM
     error handling (Rafael Wysocki)

   - Drop a redundant check from pm_runtime_force_resume() and rearrange
     documentation related to __pm_runtime_disable() (Rafael Wysocki)

   - Rework the handling of the "smart suspend" driver flag in the PM
     core to avoid issues hat may occur when drivers using it depend on
     some other drivers and clean up the related PM core code (Rafael
     Wysocki, Colin Ian King)

   - Fix the handling of devices with the power.direct_complete flag set
     if device_suspend() returns an error for at least one device to
     avoid situations in which some of them may not be resumed (Rafael
     Wysocki)

   - Use mutex_trylock() in hibernate_compressor_param_set() to avoid a
     possible deadlock that may occur if the "compressor" hibernation
     module parameter is accessed during the registration of a new
     ieee80211 device (Lizhi Xu)

   - Suppress sleeping parent warning in device_pm_add() in the case
     when new children are added under a device with the
     power.direct_complete set after it has been processed by
     device_resume() (Xu Yang)

   - Remove needless return in three void functions related to system
     wakeup (Zijun Hu)

   - Replace deprecated kmap_atomic() with kmap_local_page() in the
     hibernation core code (David Reaver)

   - Remove unused helper functions related to system sleep (David Alan
     Gilbert)

   - Clean up s2idle_enter() so it does not lock and unlock CPU offline
     in vain and update comments in it (Ulf Hansson)

   - Clean up broken white space in dpm_wait_for_children() (Geert
     Uytterhoeven)

   - Update the cpupower utility to fix lib version-ing in it and memory
     leaks in error legs, remove hard-coded values, and implement CPU
     physical core querying (Thomas Renninger, John B. Wyatt IV, Shuah
     Khan, Yiwei Lin, Zhongqiu Han)"

Pull ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "From the functional perspective, the most significant changes here are
  the ACPI fan driver update allowing it to handle fans with

 "Nothing major this time around.

  Apart from the usual perf/PMU updates, some page table cleanups, the
  notable features are average CPU frequency based on the AMUv1
  counters, CONFIG_HOTPLUG_SMT and MOPS instructions (memcpy/memset) in
  the uaccess routines.

  Perf and PMUs:

   - Support for the 'Rainier' CPU PMU from Arm

   - Preparatory driver changes and cleanups that pave the way for BRBE
     support

   - Support for partial virtualisation of the Apple-M1 PMU

   - Support for the second event filter in Arm CSPMU designs

   - Minor fixes and cleanups (CMN and DWC PMUs)

   - Enable EL2 requirements for FEAT_PMUv3p9

  Power, CPU topology:

   - Support for AMUv1-based average CPU frequency

   - Run-time SMT control wired up for arm64 (CONFIG_HOTPLUG_SMT). It
     adds a generic topology_is_primary_thread() function overridden by
     x86 and powerpc

  New(ish) features:

   - MOPS (memcpy/memset) support for the uaccess routines

  Security/confidential compute:

   - Fix the DMA address for devices used in Realms with Arm CCA. The
     CCA architecture uses the address bit to differentiate between
     shared and private addresses

   - Spectre-BHB: assume CPUs Linux doesn't know about vulnerable by
     default

  Memory management clean-ups:

   - Drop the P*D_TABLE_BIT definition in preparation for 128-bit PTEs

   - Some minor page table accessor clean-ups

   - PIE/POE (permission indirection/overlay) helpers clean-up

  Kselftests:

   - MTE: skip hugetlb tests if MTE is not supported on such mappings
     and user correct naming for sync/async tag checking modes

  Miscellaneous:

   - Add a PKEY_UNRESTRICTED definition as 0 to uapi (toolchain people

3181424aea x86/early_printk: Add support for MMIO-based UARTs
During the bring-up of an x86 board, the kernel was crashing before
reaching the platform's console driver because of a bug in the firmware,
leaving no trace of the boot progress.

The only available method to debug the kernel boot process was via the
platform's MMIO-based UART, as the board lacked an I/O port-based UART,
PCI UART, or functional video output.

Then it turned out that earlyprintk= does not have a knob to configure
the MMIO-mapped UART.

Extend the early printk facility to support platform MMIO-based UARTs
on x86 systems, enabling debugging during the system bring-up phase.

The command line syntax to enable platform MMIO-based UART is:

  earlyprintk=mmio,membase[,{nocfg|baudrate}][,keep]

Note, the change does not integrate MMIO-based UART support to:

  arch/x86/boot/early_serial_console.c

Also, update kernel parameters documentation with the new syntax and
add the missing 'nocfg' setting to the PCI serial cards description.

 "Documentation:
   - Add broken-timing possibility to stallwarn.rst
   - Improve discussion of this_cpu_ptr(), add raw_cpu_ptr()
   - Document self-propagating callbacks
   - Point call_srcu() to call_rcu() for detailed memory ordering
   - Add CONFIG_RCU_LAZY delays to call_rcu() kernel-doc header
   - Clarify RCU_LAZY and RCU_LAZY_DEFAULT_OFF help text
   - Remove references to old grace-period-wait primitives

  srcu:
   - Introduce srcu_read_{un,}lock_fast(), which is similar to
     srcu_read_{un,}lock_lite(): avoid smp_mb()s in lock and unlock
     at the cost of calling synchronize_rcu() in synchronize_srcu()

     Moreover, by returning the percpu offset of the counter at
     srcu_read_lock_fast() time, srcu_read_unlock_fast() can avoid
     extra pointer dereferencing, which makes it faster than
     srcu_read_{un,}lock_lite()

     srcu_read_{un,}lock_fast() are intended to replace
     rcu_read_{un,}lock_trace() if possible

  RCU torture:
   - Add get_torture_init_jiffies() to return the start time of the test
   - Add a test_boost_holdoff module parameter to allow delaying
     boosting tests when building rcutorture as built-in
   - Add grace period sequence number logging at the beginning and end
     of failure/close-call results
   - Switch to hexadecimal for the expedited grace period sequence
     number in the rcu_exp_grace_period trace point
   - Make cur_ops->format_gp_seqs take buffer length
   - Move RCU_TORTURE_TEST_{CHK_RDR_STATE,LOG_CPU} to bool
   - Complain when invalid SRCU reader_flavor is specified
   - Add FORCE_NEED_SRCU_NMI_SAFE Kconfig for testing, which forces SRCU
     uses atomics even when percpu ops are NMI safe, and use the Kconfig
     for SRCU lockdep testing

  Misc:
   - Split rcu_report_exp_cpu_mult() mask parameter and use for tracing
   - Remove READ_ONCE() for rdp->gpwrap access in __note_gp_changes()
   - Fix get_state_synchronize_rcu_full() GP-start detection
   - Move RCU Tasks self-tests to core_initcall()
   - Print segment lengths in show_rcu_nocb_gp_state()
   - Make RCU watch ct_kernel_exit_state() warning
   - Flush console log from kernel_power_off()
   - rcutorture: Allow a negative value for nfakewriters
   - rcu: Update TREE05.boot to test normal synchronize_rcu()
   - rcu: Use _full() API to debug synchronize_rcu()

  Make RCU handle PREEMPT_LAZY better:
   - Fix header guard for rcu_all_qs()
   - rcu: Rename PREEMPT_AUTO to PREEMPT_LAZY

e452872b40 mm: vmscan: split proactive reclaim statistics from direct reclaim statistics
Patch series "Adding Proactive Memory Reclaim Statistics".

These two patches are related to proactive memory reclaim.

Patch 1 Split proactive reclaim statistics from direct reclaim counters
and introduces new counters: pgsteal_proactive, pgdemote_proactive,
and pgscan_proactive.

Patch 2 Adds pswpin and pswpout items to the cgroup-v2 documentation.


This patch (of 2):

In proactive memory reclaim scenarios, it is necessary to accurately track
proactive reclaim statistics to dynamically adjust the frequency and
amount of memory being reclaimed proactively.  Currently, proactive
reclaim is included in direct reclaim statistics, which can make these
direct reclaim statistics misleading.

Therefore, separate proactive reclaim memory from the direct reclaim
counters by introducing new counters: pgsteal_proactive,
pgdemote_proactive, and pgscan_proactive, to avoid confusion with direct
reclaim.

c1aa3daa51 printk/panic: Add option to allow non-panic CPUs to write to the ring buffer.
Commit 779dbc2e78 ("printk: Avoid non-panic CPUs writing to ringbuffer")
aimed to isolate panic-related messages. However, when panic() itself
malfunctions, messages from non-panic CPUs become crucial for debugging.

While commit bcc954c6ca ("printk/panic: Allow cpu backtraces to
be written into ringbuffer during panic") enables non-panic CPU
backtraces, it may not provide sufficient diagnostic information.

Introduce the "debug_non_panic_cpus" command-line option, enabling
non-panic CPU messages to be stored in the ring buffer during a panic.
This also prevents discarding non-finalized messages from non-panic CPUs
during console flushing, providing a more comprehensive view of system
state during critical failures.

722fa0dba7 x86/rfds: Exclude P-only parts from the RFDS affected list
The affected CPU table (cpu_vuln_blacklist) marks Alderlake and Raptorlake
P-only parts affected by RFDS. This is not true because only E-cores are
affected by RFDS. With the current family/model matching it is not possible
to differentiate the unaffected parts, as the affected and unaffected
hybrid variants have the same model number.

Add a cpu-type match as well for such parts so as to exclude P-only parts
being marked as affected.

Note, family/model and cpu-type enumeration could be inaccurate in
virtualized environments. In a guest affected status is decided by RFDS_NO
and RFDS_CLEAR bits exposed by VMMs.

e3aa7df331 mm: page_alloc: defrag_mode
The page allocator groups requests by migratetype to stave off
fragmentation.  However, in practice this is routinely defeated by the
fact that it gives up *before* invoking reclaim and compaction - which may
well produce suitable pages.  As a result, fragmentation of physical
memory is a common ongoing process in many load scenarios.

Fragmentation deteriorates compaction's ability to produce huge pages. 
Depending on the lifetime of the fragmenting allocations, those effects
can be long-lasting or even permanent, requiring drastic measures like
forcible idle states or even reboots as the only reliable ways to recover
the address space for THP production.

In a kernel build test with supplemental THP pressure, the THP allocation
rate steadily declines over 15 runs:

    thp_fault_alloc
    61988
    56474
    57258
    50187
    52388
    55409
    52925
    47648
    43669
    40621
    36077
    41721
    36685
    34641
    33215

This is a hurdle in adopting THP in any environment where hosts are shared
between multiple overlapping workloads (cloud environments), and rarely
experience true idle periods.  To make THP a reliable and predictable
optimization, there needs to be a stronger guarantee to avoid such
fragmentation.

Introduce defrag_mode.  When enabled, reclaim/compaction is invoked to its
full extent *before* falling back.  Specifically, ALLOC_NOFRAGMENT is
enforced on the allocator fastpath and the reclaiming slowpath.

For now, fallbacks are permitted to avert OOMs.  There is a plan to add
defrag_mode=2 to prefer OOMs over fragmentation, but this requires
additional prep work in compaction and the reserve management to make it
ready for all possible allocation contexts.

The following test results are from a kernel build with periodic bursts of
THP allocations, over 15 runs:

                                        vanilla    defrag_mode=1
@claimer[unmovable]:                        189              103

@steal[unmovable from reclaimable]:           5                0

@steal[reclaimable from movable]:            90                0
@steal[movable from reclaimable]:           354                0
@steal[movable from unmovable]:             130                0

Both types of polluting fallbacks are eliminated in this workload.

Interestingly, whole block conversions are reduced as well.  This is
because once a block is claimed for a type, its empty space remains
available for future allocations, instead of being padded with fallbacks;
this allows the native type to group up instead of spreading out to new
blocks.  The assumption in the allocator has been that pollution from
movable allocations is less harmful than from other types, since they can
be reclaimed or migrated out should the space be needed.  However, since
fallbacks occur *before* reclaim/compaction is invoked, movable pollution
will still cause non-movable allocations to spread out and claim more
blocks.

Without fragmentation, THP rates hold steady with defrag_mode=1:

    thp_fault_alloc
    32478
    20725
    45045
    32130
    14018
    21711
    40791
    29134
    34458
    45381
    28305
    17265
    22584
    28454
    30850

While the downward trend is eliminated, the keen reader will of course
notice that the baseline rate is much smaller than the vanilla kernel's to
begin with.  This is due to deficiencies in how reclaim and compaction are
currently driven: ALLOC_NOFRAGMENT increases the extent to which smaller
allocations are competing with THPs for pageblocks, while making no effort
themselves to reclaim or compact beyond their own request size.  This
effect already exists with the current usage of ALLOC_NOFRAGMENT, but is
amplified by defrag_mode insisting on whole block stealing much more
strongly.

Subsequent patches will address defrag_mode reclaim strategy to raise the
THP success baseline above the vanilla kernel.

749492229e mm: stop maintaining the per-page mapcount of large folios (CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT)
Everything is in place to stop using the per-page mapcounts in large
folios: the mapcount of tail pages will always be logically 0 (-1 value),
just like it currently is for hugetlb folios already, and the page
mapcount of the head page is either 0 (-1 value) or contains a page type
(e.g., hugetlb).

Maintaining _nr_pages_mapped without per-page mapcounts is impossible, so
that one also has to go with CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT.

There are two remaining implications:

(1) Per-node, per-cgroup and per-lruvec stats of "NR_ANON_MAPPED"
    ("mapped anonymous memory") and "NR_FILE_MAPPED"
    ("mapped file memory"):

    As soon as any page of the folio is mapped -- folio_mapped() -- we
    now account the complete folio as mapped. Once the last page is
    unmapped -- !folio_mapped() -- we account the complete folio as
    unmapped.

    This implies that ...

    * "AnonPages" and "Mapped" in /proc/meminfo and
      /sys/devices/system/node/*/meminfo
    * cgroup v2: "anon" and "file_mapped" in "memory.stat" and
      "memory.numa_stat"
    * cgroup v1: "rss" and "mapped_file" in "memory.stat" and
      "memory.numa_stat

    ... can now appear higher than before. But note that these folios do
    consume that memory, simply not all pages are actually currently
    mapped.

    It's worth nothing that other accounting in the kernel (esp. cgroup
    charging on allocation) is not affected by this change.

    [why oh why is "anon" called "rss" in cgroup v1]

 (2) Detecting partial mappings

     Detecting whether anon THPs are partially mapped gets a bit more
     unreliable. As long as a single MM maps such a large folio
     ("exclusively mapped"), we can reliably detect it. Especially before
     fork() / after a short-lived child process quit, we will detect
     partial mappings reliably, which is the common case.

     In essence, if the average per-page mapcount in an anon THP is < 1,
     we know for sure that we have a partial mapping.

     However, as soon as multiple MMs are involved, we might miss detecting
     partial mappings: this might be relevant with long-lived child
     processes. If we have a fully-mapped anon folio before fork(), once
     our child processes and our parent all unmap (zap/COW) the same pages
     (but not the complete folio), we might not detect the partial mapping.
     However, once the child processes quit we would detect the partial
     mapping.

     How relevant this case is in practice remains to be seen.
     Swapout/migration will likely mitigate this.

     In the future, RMAP walkers could check for that for that case
     (e.g., when collecting access bits during reclaim) and simply flag
     them for deferred-splitting.

eb16876971 fs/proc/task_mmu: remove per-page mapcount dependency for PM_MMAP_EXCLUSIVE (CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT)
Let's implement an alternative when per-page mapcounts in large folios are
no longer maintained -- soon with CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT.

PM_MMAP_EXCLUSIVE will now be set if folio_likely_mapped_shared() is true
-- when the folio is considered "mapped shared", including when it once
was "mapped shared" but no longer is, as documented.

This might result in and under-indication of "exclusively mapped", which
is considered better than over-indicating it: under-estimating the USS
(Unique Set Size) is better than over-estimating it.

As an alternative, we could simply remove that flag with
CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT completely, but there might be value to it.  So,
let's keep it like that and document the behavior.

ae4192b769 fs/proc/page: remove per-page mapcount dependency for /proc/kpagecount (CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT)
Let's implement an alternative when per-page mapcounts in large folios are
no longer maintained -- soon with CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT.

For large folios, we'll return the per-page average mapcount within the
folio, whereby we round to the closest integer when calculating the
average: however, we'll always return at least 1 if the folio is mapped.

So assuming a folio with 512 pages, the average would be:
* 0 if not pages are mapped
* 1 if there are 1 .. 767 per-page mappings
* 2 if there are 767 .. 1279 per-page mappings
...

For hugetlb folios and for large folios that are fully mapped into all
address spaces, there is no change.

We'll make use of this helper in other context next.

As an alternative, we could simply return 0 for non-hugetlb large folios,
or disable this legacy interface with CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT.

But the information exposed by this interface can still be valuable, and
frequently we deal with fully-mapped large folios where the average
corresponds to the actual page mapcount.  So we'll leave it like this for
now and document the new behavior.

Note: this interface is likely not very relevant for performance.  If ever
required, we could try doing a rather expensive rmap walk to collect
precisely how often this folio page is mapped.

2f1f7787b6 printk: Add an option to allow ttynull to be a default console device
The new option is CONFIG_NULL_TTY_DEFAULT_CONSOLE.

if enabled, and CONFIG_VT is disabled, ttynull will become the default
primary console device.

ttynull will be the only console device usually with this option enabled.
Some architectures do call add_preferred_console() which may add another
console though.

Motivation:

Many distributions ship with CONFIG_VT enabled. On tested desktop hardware
if CONFIG_VT is disabled, the default console device falls back to
/dev/ttyS0 instead of /dev/tty.

This could cause issues in user space, and hardware problems:

1. The user space issues include the case where  /dev/ttyS0 is
disconnected, and the TCGETS ioctl, which some user space libraries use
as a probe to determine if a file is a tty, is called on /dev/console and
fails. Programs that call isatty() on /dev/console and get an incorrect
false value may skip expected logging to /dev/console.

2. The hardware issues include the case if a user has a science instrument
or other device connected to the /dev/ttyS0 port, and they were to upgrade
to a kernel that is disabling the CONFIG_VT option, kernel logs will then
be sent to the device connected to /dev/ttyS0 unless they edit their
kernel command line manually.

The new CONFIG_NULL_TTY_DEFAULT_CONSOLE option will give users and
distribution maintainers an option to avoid this. Disabling CONFIG_VT and
enabling CONFIG_NULL_TTY_DEFAULT_CONSOLE will ensure the default kernel
console behavior is not dependent on hardware configuration by default, and
avoid unexpected new behavior on devices connected to the /dev/ttyS0 serial
port.

e016173f65 reboot: add support for configuring emergency hardware protection action
We currently leave the decision of whether to shutdown or reboot to
protect hardware in an emergency situation to the individual drivers.

This works out in some cases, where the driver detecting the critical
failure has inside knowledge: It binds to the system management controller
for example or is guided by hardware description that defines what to do.

In the general case, however, the driver detecting the issue can't know
what the appropriate course of action is and shouldn't be dictating the
policy of dealing with it.

Therefore, add a global hw_protection toggle that allows the user to
specify whether shutdown or reboot should be the default action when the
driver doesn't set policy.

This introduces no functional change yet as hw_protection_trigger() has no
callers, but these will be added in subsequent commits.

8e2f2aeb8b fs/proc/task_mmu: add guard region bit to pagemap
Patch series "fs/proc/task_mmu: add guard region bit to pagemap".

Currently there is no means of determining whether a given page in a
mapping range is designated a guard region (as installed via madvise()
using the MADV_GUARD_INSTALL flag).

This is generally not an issue, but in some instances users may wish to
determine whether this is the case.

This series adds this ability via /proc/$pid/pagemap, updates the
documentation and adds a self test to assert that this functions
correctly.


This patch (of 2):

Currently there is no means by which users can determine whether a given
page in memory is in fact a guard region, that is having had the
MADV_GUARD_INSTALL madvise() flag applied to it.

This is intentional, as to provide this information in VMA metadata would
contradict the intent of the feature (providing a means to change fault
behaviour at a page table level rather than a VMA level), and would
require VMA metadata operations to scan page tables, which is
unacceptable.

In many cases, users have no need to reflect and determine what regions
have been designated guard regions, as it is the user who has established
them in the first place.

But in some instances, such as monitoring software, or software that
relies upon being able to ascertain the nature of mappings within a remote
process for instance, it becomes useful to be able to determine which
pages have the guard region marker applied.

This patch makes use of an unused pagemap bit (58) to provide this
information.

This patch updates the documentation at the same time as making the change
such that the implementation of the feature and the documentation of it
are tied together.

f866cfcec2 mm/hugetlb: add hugetlb_cma_only cmdline option
Add an option to force hugetlb gigantic pages to be allocated using CMA
only (if hugetlb_cma is enabled).  This avoids a fallback to allocation
from the rest of system memory if the CMA allocation fails.  This makes
the size of hugetlb_cma a hard upper boundary for gigantic hugetlb page
allocations.

This is useful because, with a large CMA area, the kernel's unmovable
allocations will have less room to work with and it is undesirable for new
hugetlb gigantic page allocations to be done from that remaining area.  It
will eat in to the space available for unmovable allocations, leading to
unwanted system behavior (OOMs because the kernel fails to do unmovable
allocations).

So, with this enabled, an administrator can force a hard upper bound for
runtime gigantic page allocations, and have more predictable system
behavior.

5b47c02967 mm/hugetlb: convert cmdline parameters from setup to early
Convert the cmdline parameters (hugepagesz, hugepages, default_hugepagesz
and hugetlb_free_vmemmap) to early parameters.

Since parse_early_param might run before MMU setups on some platforms
(powerpc), validation of huge page sizes as specified in command line
parameters would fail.  So instead, for the hstate-related values, just
record the them and parse them on demand, from hugetlb_bootmem_alloc.

The allocation of hugetlb bootmem pages is now done in
hugetlb_bootmem_alloc, which is called explicitly at the start of
mm_core_init().  core_initcall would be too late, as that happens with
memblock already torn down.

This change will allow earlier allocation and initialization of bootmem
hugetlb pages later on.

No functional change intended.

c009da4258 mm, cma: support multiple contiguous ranges, if requested
Currently, CMA manages one range of physically contiguous memory. 
Creation of larger CMA areas with hugetlb_cma may run in to gaps in
physical memory, so that they are not able to allocate that contiguous
physical range from memblock when creating the CMA area.

This can happen, for example, on an AMD system with > 1TB of memory, where
there will be a gap just below the 1TB (40bit DMA) line.  If you have set
aside most of memory for potential hugetlb CMA allocation,
cma_declare_contiguous_nid will fail.

hugetlb_cma doesn't need the entire area to be one physically contiguous
range.  It just cares about being able to get physically contiguous chunks
of a certain size (e.g.  1G), and it is fine to have the CMA area backed
by multiple physical ranges, as long as it gets 1G contiguous allocations.

Multi-range support is implemented by introducing an array of ranges,
instead of just one big one.  Each range has its own bitmap.  Effectively,
the allocate and release operations work as before, just per-range.  So,
instead of going through one large bitmap, they now go through a number of
smaller ones.

The maximum number of supported ranges is 8, as defined in CMA_MAX_RANGES.

Since some current users of CMA expect a CMA area to just use one
physically contiguous range, only allow for multiple ranges if a new
interface, cma_declare_contiguous_nid_multi, is used.  The other
interfaces will work like before, creating only CMA areas with 1 range.

cma_declare_contiguous_nid_multi works as follows, mimicking the
default "bottom-up, above 4G" reservation approach:

0) Try cma_declare_contiguous_nid, which will use only one
   region. If this succeeds, return. This makes sure that for
   all the cases that currently work, the behavior remains
   unchanged even if the caller switches from
   cma_declare_contiguous_nid to cma_declare_contiguous_nid_multi.
1) Select the largest free memblock ranges above 4G, with
   a maximum number of CMA_MAX_RANGES.
2) If we did not find at most CMA_MAX_RANGES that add
   up to the total size requested, return -ENOMEM.
3) Sort the selected ranges by base address.
4) Reserve them bottom-up until we get what we wanted.

0f28583b28 Docs/damon: move DAMOS filter type names and meaning to design doc
DAMON sysfs usage doc is describing DAMOS filter type names and their
meanings in short.  The design doc is providing the short meaning and
detailed descriptions, too.  This is unnecessary duplicates and confuses
where to document new DAMOS filter types and features.  Move the details
from usage to design doc.

6df8bae8e8 mm: zbud: remove zbud
The zbud compressed pages allocator is rarely used, most users use
zsmalloc.  zbud consumes much more memory (only stores 1 or 2 compressed
pages per physical page).  The only advantage of zbud is a marginal
performance improvement that by no means justify the memory overhead.

Historically, zsmalloc had significantly worse latency than zbud and
z3fold but offered better memory savings.  This is no longer the case as
shown by a simple recent analysis [1].  In a kernel build test on tmpfs in
a limited cgroup, zbud 2-3% less time than zsmalloc, but at the cost of
using ~32% more memory (1.5G vs 1.13G).  The tradeoff does not make sense
for zbud in any practical scenario.

The only alleged advantage of zbud is not having the dependency on
CONFIG_MMU, but CONFIG_SWAP already depends on CONFIG_MMU anyway, and zbud
is only used by zswap.

Remove zbud after z3fold's removal, leaving zsmalloc as the one and only
zpool allocator.  Leave the removal of the zpool API (and its associated
config options) to a followup cleanup after no more allocators show up.

Deprecating zbud for a few cycles before removing it was initially
proposed [2], like z3fold was marked as deprecated for 2 cycles [3]. 
However, Johannes rightfully pointed out that the 2 cycles is too short
for most downstream consumers, and z3fold was deprecated first only as a
courtesy anyway.
