Pull liveupdate updates from Mike Rapoport:
 "Kexec Handover (KHO):

   - make memory preservation compatible with deferred initialization
     of the memory map

  Live Update Orchestrator (LUO):

   - add LIVEUPDATE_SESSION_GET_NAME ioctl and parameter verification

   - documentation updates for liveupdate=on command line option,
     systemd support and the current compatibility status

   - remove the fixed limits on the number of files that can be
     preserved within a single session, and the total number of
     sessions managed by the LUO

  Misc fixes:

   - reference count incoming File-Lifecycle-Bound (FLB) data so
     it cannot be freed while a subsystem is still using it

   - fixes for a TOCTOU race in luo_session_retrieve(), a use-
     after-free in the file finish and unpreserve paths, concurrent
     session mutations during reboot and serialization on
     preserve_context kexec

   - make sure ioctls for incoming LUO sessions are blocked for

Asier Gutierrez 58996503b6 mm/damon: support MADV_COLLAPSE via DAMOS_COLLAPSE scheme action 
This patch set introces a new action:  DAMOS_COLLAPSE.

For DAMOS_HUGEPAGE and DAMOS_NOHUGEPAGE to work, khugepaged should be
working, since it relies on hugepage_madvise to add a new slot.  This slot
should be picked up by khugepaged and eventually collapse (or not, if we
are using DAMOS_NOHUGEPAGE) the pages.  If THP is not enabled, khugepaged
will not be working, and therefore no collapse will happen.

DAMOS_COLLAPSE eventually calls madvise_collapse, which will collapse the
address range synchronously.  In cases where there is a large VMA
(databases, for example), DAMOS_COLLAPSE allows us to collapse only the
hot region, and not the entire VMA.

This new action may be required to support autotuning with hugepage
as a goal[1].

Benchmarks:

=====

Tests were performed in an ARM physical server with MariaDB 10.5 and
sysbench. Read only benchmark was perform with gaussian row hitting,
which follows a normal distribution.

Performance counter

I got the number of L1 D/I TLB accesses and the number a D/I TLB
accesses that triggered a page walk. I divided the second by the
first to get the percentage of page walkes per TLB access. The
lower the better.

=========

- We can see that DAMOS "hugepage" action works only when THP is set
  to madvise. "collapse" action works even when THP is set to never.
- Performance for "collapse" action is slightly lower than "hugepage"
  action and THP madvise. This is due to the fact that collapases
  occur synchronously. With "hugepage" they may occur during page
  faults.
- Memory consumption is slighly lower for "collapse" than "hugepage"
  with THP madvise. This is due to the khugepage collapses all VMAs,
  while "collapse" action only collapses the VMAs in the hot region.
- There is an improvement in TLB utilization when collapse through
  "hugepage" or "collapse" actions are triggered. The amount of
  TLB misses is lower.
- "collapse" action is performance synchronously, which means that
  page collapses happen earlier and more rapidly. This can be
  useful or not, depending on the scenario.
- "hugepage" action may trigger a VMA split in some scenarios, since
  it needs to change the flag of the VMA to THP enabled. This may
  lead to additional overhead.

Collapse action just adds a new option to chose the correct system
balance.

Liew Rui Yan 6f1e182387 Docs/mm/damon: document min_nr_regions constraint and rationale 
The current DAMON implementation requires 'min_nr_regions' to be at least
3.  However, this constraint is not explicitly documented in the
admin-guide documents, nor is its design rationale explained in the design
document.

Add a section in design.rst to explain the rationale: the virtual address
space monitoring design needs to handle at least three regions to
accommodate two large unmapped areas.  While this is specific to 'vaddr',
DAMON currently enforces it across all operation sets for consistency.

Also update reclaim.rst and lru_sort.rst by adding cross-references to
this constraint within their respective 'min_nr_regions' parameter
description sections, ensuring users are aware of the lower bound.

This change is motivated from a recent discussion [1].

when compiling the kernel without TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE option.  The DAMON
behaviour is to silently fail [1] in when DAMOS_HUGEPAGE or

SeongJae Park bfb1523cde Docs/mm/damon/design: document the power-of-two limitation for addr_unit 
The min_region_sz is set as max(DAMON_MIN_REGION_SZ / addr_unit, 1). 
DAMON_MIN_REGION_SZ is the same to PAGE_SIZE, and addr_unit is what the
user can arbitrarily set.  Commit c80f46ac22 ("mm/damon/core: disallow
non-power of two min_region_sz") made min_region_sz to always be a power
of two.  Hence, addr_unit should be a power of two when it is smaller than
PAGE_SIZE.  While 'addr_unit' is a user-exposed parameter, the rule is not
documented.  This can confuse users.  Specifically, if the user sets
addr_unit as a value that is smaller than PAGE_SIZE and not a power of
two, the setup will explicitly fail.

Document the rule on the design document.  Usage documents reference the
design document for detail, so updating only the design document should
suffice.

Jane Chu 7a197d346a Documentation: fix a hugetlbfs reservation statement 
Documentation/mm/hugetlbfs_reserv.rst has
	if (resv_needed <= (resv_huge_pages - free_huge_pages))
		resv_huge_pages += resv_needed;
which describes this code in gather_surplus_pages()
	needed = (h->resv_huge_pages + delta) - h->free_huge_pages;
	if (needed <= 0) {
		h->resv_huge_pages += delta;
		return 0;
	}
which means if there are enough free hugepages to account for the new
reservation, simply update the global reservation count without
further action.

But the description is backwards, it should be
	if (resv_needed <= (free_huge_pages - resv_huge_pages))
instead.

Kiryl Shutsemau d50569612c mm: rename the 'compound_head' field in the 'struct page' to 'compound_info' 
The 'compound_head' field in the 'struct page' encodes whether the page is
a tail and where to locate the head page.  Bit 0 is set if the page is a
tail, and the remaining bits in the field point to the head page.

As preparation for changing how the field encodes information about the
head page, rename the field to 'compound_info'.

Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "Lock debugging:

   - Implement compiler-driven static analysis locking context checking,
     using the upcoming Clang 22 compiler's context analysis features
     (Marco Elver)

     We removed Sparse context analysis support, because prior to
     removal even a defconfig kernel produced 1,700+ context tracking
     Sparse warnings, the overwhelming majority of which are false
     positives. On an allmodconfig kernel the number of false positive
     context tracking Sparse warnings grows to over 5,200... On the plus
     side of the balance actual locking bugs found by Sparse context
     analysis is also rather ... sparse: I found only 3 such commits in
     the last 3 years. So the rate of false positives and the
     maintenance overhead is rather high and there appears to be no
     active policy in place to achieve a zero-warnings baseline to move
     the annotations & fixers to developers who introduce new code.

     Clang context analysis is more complete and more aggressive in
     trying to find bugs, at least in principle. Plus it has a different
     model to enabling it: it's enabled subsystem by subsystem, which
     results in zero warnings on all relevant kernel builds (as far as
     our testing managed to cover it). Which allowed us to enable it by
     default, similar to other compiler warnings, with the expectation
     that there are no warnings going forward. This enforces a
     zero-warnings baseline on clang-22+ builds (Which are still limited
     in distribution, admittedly)

     Hopefully the Clang approach can lead to a more maintainable
     zero-warnings status quo and policy, with more and more subsystems
     and drivers enabling the feature. Context tracking can be enabled
     for all kernel code via WARN_CONTEXT_ANALYSIS_ALL=y (default
     disabled), but this will generate a lot of false positives.

     ( Having said that, Sparse support could still be added back,
       if anyone is interested - the removal patch is still
       relatively straightforward to revert at this stage. )

  Rust integration updates: (Alice Ryhl, Fujita Tomonori, Boqun Feng)

    - Add support for Atomic<i8/i16/bool> and replace most Rust native
      AtomicBool usages with Atomic<bool>

    - Clean up LockClassKey and improve its documentation

    - Add missing Send and Sync trait implementation for SetOnce

    - Make ARef Unpin as it is supposed to be

    - Add __rust_helper to a few Rust helpers as a preparation for
      helper LTO

    - Inline various lock related functions to avoid additional function
      calls

  WW mutexes:

    - Extend ww_mutex tests and other test-ww_mutex updates (John
      Stultz)

  Misc fixes and cleanups:

    - rcu: Mark lockdep_assert_rcu_helper() __always_inline (Arnd
      Bergmann)

    - locking/local_lock: Include more missing headers (Peter Zijlstra)

SeongJae Park 4c8f08d993 Docs/mm/damon/maintainer-profile: remove damon-tests/perf suggestion 
The DAMON performance tests [1] use PARSEC 3.0 as its major test
workloads.  But the official web site for PARSEC 3.0 has gone, so there is
no easy way to get the benchmark.  Mainly due to the fact, DAMON
performance tests are difficult to run, and effectively broken.  Do not
request running it for now.  Instead, suggest running any benchmarks or
real world workloads that make sense for performance changes.

Update DAMON documentations for wordsmithing, clarifications, and
miscellaneous outdated things with eight patches.  Patch 1 simplifies the
brief introduction of DAMON.  Patch 2 updates DAMON user-space tool
packaged distros information on design doc to include not only Fedora, but
refer to repology.  Three following patches update design and usage
documents for clarifying DAMON sample modules purposes (patch 3), and
outdated information about usages of DAMON modules (patches 4 and 5). 
Final three patches update usage and maintainer-profile for sysfs
refresh_ms feature behavior (patch 6), synchronize DAMON MAINTAINERS
section name (patch 7), and broken damon-tests performance tests (patch
8).


This patch (of 8):

The intro is a bit verbose and redundant.  Simplify it by replacing
details with more links to the design docs, and refining the design points
list.

Mike Rapoport (Microsoft) 4267739cab arch, mm: consolidate initialization of SPARSE memory model 
Every architecture calls sparse_init() during setup_arch() although the
data structures created by sparse_init() are not used until the
initialization of the core MM.

Beside the code duplication, calling sparse_init() from architecture
specific code causes ordering differences of vmemmap and HVO
initialization on different architectures.

Move the call to sparse_init() from architecture specific code to
free_area_init() to ensure that vmemmap and HVO initialization order is
always the same.

Marco Elver e4588c25c9 compiler-context-analysis: Remove __cond_lock() function-like helper 
As discussed in [1], removing __cond_lock() will improve the readability
of trylock code. Now that Sparse context tracking support has been
removed, we can also remove __cond_lock().

Change existing APIs to either drop __cond_lock() completely, or make
use of the __cond_acquires() function attribute instead.

In particular, spinlock and rwlock implementations required switching
over to inline helpers rather than statement-expressions for their
trylock_* variants.

Pull non-MM updates from Andrew Morton:

 - "panic: sys_info: Refactor and fix a potential issue" (Andy Shevchenko)

 - "liveupdate: Rework KHO for in-kernel users" (Pasha Tatashin)
   reworks the KEXEC Handover interfaces in preparation for Live Update
   Orchestrator (LUO), and possibly for other future clients

 - "kho: simplify state machine and enable dynamic updates" (Pasha Tatashin)
   increases the flexibility of KEXEC Handover. Also preparation for LUO

 - "Live Update Orchestrator" (Pasha Tatashin)
   is a major new feature targeted at cloud environments. Quoting the
   cover letter:

      This series introduces the Live Update Orchestrator, a kernel
      subsystem designed to facilitate live kernel updates using a
      kexec-based reboot. This capability is critical for cloud
      environments, allowing hypervisors to be updated with minimal
      downtime for running virtual machines. LUO achieves this by
      preserving the state of selected resources, such as memory,
      devices and their dependencies, across the kernel transition.

      As a key feature, this series includes support for preserving
      memfd file descriptors, which allows critical in-memory data, such
      as guest RAM or any other large memory region, to be maintained in
      RAM across the kexec reboot.

   Mike Rappaport merits a mention here, for his extensive review and
   testing work.

 - "kexec: reorganize kexec and kdump sysfs" (Sourabh Jain)
   moves the kexec and kdump sysfs entries from /sys/kernel/ to
   /sys/kernel/kexec/ and adds back-compatibility symlinks which can
   hopefully be removed one day

 - "kho: fixes for vmalloc restoration" (Mike Rapoport)
   fixes a BUG which was being hit during KHO restoration of vmalloc()
   regions

Balbir Singh 3a5a065545 mm/zone_device: rename page_free callback to folio_free 
Change page_free to folio_free to make the folio support for
zone device-private more consistent. The PCI P2PDMA callback
has also been updated and changed to folio_free() as a result.

For drivers that do not support folios (yet), the folio is
converted back into page via &folio->page and the page is used
as is, in the current callback implementation.
