- 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.

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.

alloc_tag: allocate percpu counters for module tags dynamically
When a module gets unloaded it checks whether any of its tags are still in
use and if so, we keep the memory containing module's allocation tags
alive until all tags are unused. However percpu counters referenced by
the tags are freed by free_module(). This will lead to UAF if the memory
allocated by a module is accessed after module was unloaded.
To fix this we allocate percpu counters for module allocation tags
dynamically and we keep it alive for tags which are still in use after
module unloading. This also removes the requirement of a larger
PERCPU_MODULE_RESERVE when memory allocation profiling is enabled because
percpu memory for counters does not need to be reserved anymore.

alloc_tag: handle incomplete bulk allocations in vm_module_tags_populate
alloc_pages_bulk_node() may partially succeed and allocate fewer than the requested nr_pages. There are several conditions under which this can occur, but we have encountered the case where CONFIG_PAGE_OWNER is enabled causing all bulk allocations to always fallback to single page allocations due to commit |

The various patchsets are summarized below. Plus of course many
indivudual patches which are described in their changelogs. - "Allocate and free frozen pages" from Matthew Wilcox reorganizes the page allocator so we end up with the ability to allocate and free zero-refcount pages. So that callers (ie, slab) can avoid a refcount inc & dec. - "Support large folios for tmpfs" from Baolin Wang teaches tmpfs to use large folios other than PMD-sized ones. - "Fix mm/rodata_test" from Petr Tesarik performs some maintenance and fixes for this small built-in kernel selftest. - "mas_anode_descend() related cleanup" from Wei Yang tidies up part of the mapletree code. - "mm: fix format issues and param types" from Keren Sun implements a few minor code cleanups. - "simplify split calculation" from Wei Yang provides a few fixes and a test for the mapletree code. - "mm/vma: make more mmap logic userland testable" from Lorenzo Stoakes continues the work of moving vma-related code into the (relatively) new mm/vma.c. - "mm/page_alloc: gfp flags cleanups for alloc_contig_*()" from David Hildenbrand cleans up and rationalizes handling of gfp flags in the page allocator. - "readahead: Reintroduce fix for improper RA window sizing" from Jan Kara is a second attempt at fixing a readahead window sizing issue.

This is part of the effort to reduce the size of struct page and to enable dynamic allocation of memory descriptors." - "mm, swap: rework of swap allocator locks" from Kairui Song redoes and simplifies the swap allocator locking. A speedup of 400% was demonstrated for one workload. As was a 35% reduction for kernel build time with swap-on-zram. - "mm: update mips to use do_mmap(), make mmap_region() internal" from Lorenzo Stoakes reworks MIPS's use of mmap_region() so that mmap_region() can be made MM-internal. - "mm/mglru: performance optimizations" from Yu Zhao fixes a few MGLRU regressions and otherwise improves MGLRU performance. - "Docs/mm/damon: add tuning guide and misc updates" from SeongJae Park updates DAMON documentation. - "Cleanup for memfd_create()" from Isaac Manjarres does that thing. - "mm: hugetlb+THP folio and migration cleanups" from David Hildenbrand provides various cleanups in the areas of hugetlb folios, THP folios and migration. - "Uncached buffered IO" from Jens Axboe implements the new RWF_DONTCACHE flag which provides synchronous dropbehind for pagecache reading and writing.

alloc_tag: avoid current->alloc_tag manipulations when profiling is disabled
When memory allocation profiling is disabled there is no need to update
current->alloc_tag and these manipulations add unnecessary overhead. Fix
the overhead by skipping these extra updates.
I ran comprehensive testing on Pixel 6 on Big, Medium and Little cores:
Overhead before fixes Overhead after fixes
slab alloc page alloc slab alloc page alloc
Big 6.21% 5.32% 3.31% 4.93%
Medium 4.51% 5.05% 3.79% 4.39%
Little 7.62% 1.82% 6.68% 1.02%
This is an allocation microbenchmark doing allocations in a tight loop.
Not a really realistic scenario and useful only to make performance
comparisons.

alloc_tag: fix module allocation tags populated area calculation
vm_module_tags_populate() calculation of the populated area assumes that
area starts at a page boundary and therefore when new pages are allocation,
the end of the area is page-aligned as well. If the start of the area is
not page-aligned then allocating a page and incrementing the end of the
area by PAGE_SIZE leads to an area at the end but within the area boundary
which is not populated. Accessing this are will lead to a kernel panic.
Fix the calculation by down-aligning the start of the area and using that
as the location allocated pages are mapped to.

mm/codetag: clear tags before swap
When CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_DEBUG is set, kernel WARN would be
triggered when calling __alloc_tag_ref_set() during swap:
alloc_tag was not cleared (got tag for mm/filemap.c:1951)
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 816 at ./include/linux/alloc_tag.h...
Clear code tags before swap can fix the warning. And this patch also fix
a potential invalid address dereference in alloc_tag_add_check() when
CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_DEBUG is set and ref->ct is CODETAG_EMPTY,
which is defined as ((void *)1).

mm/codetag: swap tags when migrate pages
Current solution to adjust codetag references during page migration is
done in 3 steps:
1. sets the codetag reference of the old page as empty (not pointing
to any codetag);
2. subtracts counters of the new page to compensate for its own
allocation;
3. sets codetag reference of the new page to point to the codetag of
the old page.
This does not work if CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_DEBUG=n because
set_codetag_empty() becomes NOOP. Instead, let's simply swap codetag
references so that the new page is referencing the old codetag and the old
page is referencing the new codetag. This way accounting stays valid and
the logic makes more sense.

alloc_tag: support for page allocation tag compression
Implement support for storing page allocation tag references directly in the page flags instead of page extensions. sysctl.vm.mem_profiling boot parameter it extended to provide a way for a user to request this mode. Enabling compression eliminates memory overhead caused by page_ext and results in better performance for page allocations. However this mode will not work if the number of available page flag bits is insufficient to address all kernel allocations. Such condition can happen during boot or when loading a module. If this condition is detected, memory allocation profiling gets disabled with an appropriate warning. By default compression mode is disabled.

alloc_tag: load module tags into separate contiguous memory
When a module gets unloaded there is a possibility that some of the allocations it made are still used and therefore the allocation tags corresponding to these allocations are still referenced. As such, the memory for these tags can't be freed. This is currently handled as an abnormal situation and module's data section is not being unloaded. To handle this situation without keeping module's data in memory, allow codetags with longer lifespan than the module to be loaded into their own separate memory. The in-use memory areas and gaps after module unloading in this separate memory are tracked using maple trees. Allocation tags arrange their separate memory so that it is virtually contiguous and that will allow simple allocation tag indexing later on in this patchset. The size of this virtually contiguous memory is set to store up to 100000 allocation tags.

sysctl changes for 6.11-rc1
Summary
* Remove "->procname == NULL" check when iterating through sysctl table arrays
Removing sentinels in ctl_table arrays reduces the build time size and
runtime memory consumed by ~64 bytes per array. With all ctl_table
sentinels gone, the additional check for ->procname == NULL that worked in
tandem with the ARRAY_SIZE to calculate the size of the ctl_table arrays is
no longer needed and has been removed. The sysctl register functions now
returns an error if a sentinel is used.
* Preparation patches for sysctl constification
Constifying ctl_table structs prevents the modification of proc_handler
function pointers as they would reside in .rodata. The ctl_table arguments
in sysctl utility functions are const qualified in preparation for a future
treewide proc_handler argument constification commit.
* Misc fixes
Increase robustness of set_ownership by providing sane default ownership
values in case the callee doesn't set them. Bound check proc_dou8vec_minmax
to avoid loading buggy modules and give sysctl testing module a name to
avoid compiler complaints.
Testing
* This got push to linux-next in v6.10-rc2, so it has had more than a month
of testing

alloc_tag: Tighten file permissions on /proc/allocinfo
The /proc/allocinfo file exposes a tremendous about of information about kernel build details, memory allocations (obviously), and potentially even image layout (due to ordering). As this is intended to be consumed by system owners (like /proc/slabinfo), use the same file permissions as there: 0400.

lib: introduce early boot parameter to avoid page_ext memory overhead
The highest memory overhead from memory allocation profiling comes from page_ext objects. This overhead exists even if the feature is disabled but compiled-in. To avoid it, introduce an early boot parameter that prevents page_ext object creation. The new boot parameter is a tri-state with possible values of 0|1|never. When it is set to "never" the memory allocation profiling support is disabled, and overhead is minimized (currently no page_ext objects are allocated, in the future more overhead might be eliminated). As a result we also lose ability to enable memory allocation profiling at runtime (because there is no space to store alloctag references). Runtime sysctrl becomes read-only if the early boot parameter was set to "never". Note that the default value of this boot parameter depends on the CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_ENABLED_BY_DEFAULT configuration. When CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_ENABLED_BY_DEFAULT=n the boot parameter is set to "never", therefore eliminating any overhead. CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_ENABLED_BY_DEFAULT=y results in boot parameter being set to 1 (enabled). This allows distributions to avoid any overhead by setting CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_ENABLED_BY_DEFAULT=n config and with no changes to the kernel command line. We reuse sysctl.vm.mem_profiling boot parameter name in order to avoid introducing yet another control. This change turns it into a tri-state early boot parameter.

lib: add allocation tagging support for memory allocation profiling
Introduce CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING which provides definitions to easily instrument memory allocators. It registers an "alloc_tags" codetag type with /proc/allocinfo interface to output allocation tag information when the feature is enabled. CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_DEBUG is provided for debugging the memory allocation profiling instrumentation. Memory allocation profiling can be enabled or disabled at runtime using /proc/sys/vm/mem_profiling sysctl when CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_DEBUG=n. CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_ENABLED_BY_DEFAULT enables memory allocation profiling by default.
