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)

    - seqlock: fix scoped_seqlock_read kernel-doc (Randy Dunlap)

    - rust: sync: Replace `kernel::c_str!` with C-Strings (Tamir

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.

SeongJae Park 32d11b3208 Docs/mm/damon/index: simplify the intro 
Patch series "Docs/mm/damon: update intro, modules, maintainer profile,
and misc".

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.

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.

Mike Rapoport (Microsoft) a6f4e56828 kho: docs: combine concepts and FDT documentation 
Currently index.rst in KHO documentation looks empty and sad as it only
contains links to "Kexec Handover Concepts" and "KHO FDT" chapters.

Inline contents of these chapters into index.rst to provide a single
coherent chapter describing KHO.

While on it, drop parts of the KHO FDT description that will be superseded
by addition of KHO ABI documentation.

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.

   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

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.

Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) 2197bb60f8 mm: add vma_start_write_killable() 
Patch series "vma_start_write_killable"", v2.

When we added the VMA lock, we made a major oversight in not adding a
killable variant.  That can run us into trouble where a thread takes the
VMA lock for read (eg handling a page fault) and then goes out to lunch
for an hour (eg doing reclaim).  Another thread tries to modify the VMA,
taking the mmap_lock for write, then attempts to lock the VMA for write. 
That blocks on the first thread, and ensures that every other page fault
now tries to take the mmap_lock for read.  Because everything's in an
uninterruptible sleep, we can't kill the task, which makes me angry.

This patchset just adds vma_start_write_killable() and converts one caller
to use it.  Most users are somewhat tricky to convert, so expect follow-up
individual patches per call-site which need careful analysis to make sure
we've done proper cleanup.


This patch (of 2):

The vma can be held read-locked for a substantial period of time, eg if
memory allocation needs to go into reclaim.  It's useful to be able to
send fatal signals to threads which are waiting for the write lock.

Chris Li 87cc51571a docs/mm: add document for swap table 
Patch series "mm, swap: introduce swap table as swap cache (phase I)", v4.

This is the first phase of the bigger series implementing basic
infrastructures for the Swap Table idea proposed at the LSF/MM/BPF topic
"Integrate swap cache, swap maps with swap allocator" [1].  To give credit
where it is due, this is based on Chris Li's idea and a prototype of using
cluster size atomic arrays to implement swap cache.

This phase I contains 15 patches, introduces the swap table infrastructure
and uses it as the swap cache backend.  By doing so, we have up to ~5-20%
performance gain in throughput, RPS or build time for benchmark and
workload tests.  The speed up is due to less contention on the swap cache
access and shallower swap cache lookup path.  The cluster size is much
finer-grained than the 64M address space split, which is removed in this
phase I.  It also unifies and cleans up the swap code base.

Each swap cluster will dynamically allocate the swap table, which is an
atomic array to cover every swap slot in the cluster.  It replaces the
swap cache backed by XArray.  In phase I, the static allocated swap_map
still co-exists with the swap table.  The memory usage is about the same
as the original on average.  A few exception test cases show about 1%
higher in memory usage.  In the following phases of the series, swap_map
will merge into the swap table without additional memory allocation.  It
will result in net memory reduction compared to the original swap cache.

Testing has shown that phase I has a significant performance improvement
from 8c/1G ARM machine to 48c96t/128G x86_64 servers in many practical
workloads.

The full picture with a summary can be found at [2].  An older bigger
series of 28 patches is posted at [3].

vm-scability test:
==================
Test with:
usemem --init-time -O -y -x -n 31 1G (4G memcg, PMEM as swap)
                           Before:         After:
System time:               219.12s         158.16s        (-27.82%)
Sum Throughput:            4767.13 MB/s    6128.59 MB/s   (+28.55%)
Single process Throughput: 150.21 MB/s     196.52 MB/s    (+30.83%)
Free latency:              175047.58 us    131411.87 us   (-24.92%)

usemem --init-time -O -y -x -n 32 1536M (16G memory, global pressure,
PMEM as swap)
                           Before:         After:
System time:               356.16s         284.68s      (-20.06%)
Sum Throughput:            4648.35 MB/s    5453.52 MB/s (+17.32%)
Single process Throughput: 141.63 MB/s     168.35 MB/s  (+18.86%)
Free latency:              499907.71 us    484977.03 us (-2.99%)

This shows an improvement of more than 20% improvement in most readings.

Build kernel test:
==================
The following result matrix is from building kernel with defconfig on
tmpfs with ZSWAP / ZRAM, using different memory pressure and setups. 
Measuring sys and real time in seconds, less is better (user time is
almost identical as expected):

 -j<NR> / Mem  | Sys before / after  | Real before / after
Using 16G ZRAM with memcg limit:
     6  / 192M | 9686 / 9472  -2.21% | 2130  / 2096   -1.59%
     12 / 256M | 6610 / 6451  -2.41% |  827  /  812   -1.81%
     24 / 384M | 5938 / 5701  -3.37% |  414  /  405   -2.17%
     48 / 768M | 4696 / 4409  -6.11% |  188  /  182   -3.19%
With 64k folio:
     24 / 512M | 4222 / 4162  -1.42% |  326  /  321   -1.53%
     48 / 1G   | 3688 / 3622  -1.79% |  151  /  149   -1.32%
With ZSWAP with 3G memcg (using higher limit due to kmem account):
     48 / 3G   |  603 /  581  -3.65% |  81   /   80   -1.23%

Testing extremely high global memory and schedule pressure: Using ZSWAP
with 32G NVMEs in a 48c VM that has 4G memory, no memcg limit, system
components take up about 1.5G already, using make -j48 to build defconfig:

Before:  sys time: 2069.53s            real time: 135.76s
After:   sys time: 2021.13s (-2.34%)   real time: 134.23s (-1.12%)

On another 48c 4G memory VM, using 16G ZRAM as swap, testing make
-j48 with same config:

Before:  sys time: 1756.96s            real time: 111.01s
After:   sys time: 1715.90s (-2.34%)   real time: 109.51s (-1.35%)

All cases are more or less faster, and no regression even under extremely
heavy global memory pressure.

Redis / Valkey bench:
=====================
The test machine is a ARM64 VM with 1536M memory 12 cores, Redis is set to
use 2500M memory, and ZRAM swap size is set to 5G:

Testing with:
redis-benchmark -r 2000000 -n 2000000 -d 1024 -c 12 -P 32 -t get

                no BGSAVE                with BGSAVE
Before:         487576.06 RPS            280016.02 RPS
After:          487541.76 RPS (-0.01%)   300155.32 RPS (+7.19%)

Testing with:
redis-benchmark -r 2500000 -n 2500000 -d 1024 -c 12 -P 32 -t get
                no BGSAVE                with BGSAVE
Before:         466789.59 RPS            281213.92 RPS
After:          466402.89 RPS (-0.08%)   298411.84 RPS (+6.12%)

With BGSAVE enabled, most Redis memory will have a swap count > 1 so swap
cache is heavily in use.  We can see a about 6% performance gain.  No
BGSAVE is very slightly slower (<0.1%) due to the higher memory pressure
of the co-existence of swap_map and swap table.  This will be optimzed
into a net gain and up to 20% gain in BGSAVE case in the following phases.

HDD swap is also ~40% faster with usemem because we removed an old
contention workaround.


This patch (of 15):

Swap table is the new swap cache.

Linus Torvalds beace86e61 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. The below blurbiage describes 42 patchsets.
  21 of those are partially or fully cleanup work. "cleans up",
  "cleanup", "maintainability", "rationalizes", etc.

  I never knew the MM code was so dirty.

  "mm: ksm: prevent KSM from breaking merging of new VMAs" (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.

  "mm/damon: introduce DAMON_STAT for simple and practical access monitoring" (SeongJae Park)
     adds a new kernel module which simplifies the setup and usage of
     DAMON in production environments.

  "stop passing a writeback_control to swap/shmem writeout" (Christoph Hellwig)
     is a cleanup to the writeback code which removes a couple of
     pointers from struct writeback_control.

  "drivers/base/node.c: optimization and cleanups" (Donet Tom)
     contains largely uncorrelated cleanups to the NUMA node setup and
     management code.

  "mm: userfaultfd: assorted fixes and cleanups" (Tal Zussman)
     does some maintenance work on the userfaultfd code.

  "Readahead tweaks for larger folios" (Ryan Roberts)
     implements some tuneups for pagecache readahead when it is reading
     into order>0 folios.

  "selftests/mm: Tweaks to the cow test" (Mark Brown)
     provides some cleanups and consistency improvements to the
     selftests code.

  "Optimize mremap() for large folios" (Dev Jain)
     does that. A 37% reduction in execution time was measured in a
     memset+mremap+munmap microbenchmark.

  "Remove zero_user()" (Matthew Wilcox)
     expunges zero_user() in favor of the more modern memzero_page().

  "mm/huge_memory: vmf_insert_folio_*() and vmf_insert_pfn_pud() fixes" (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.

  "mm/damon: use alloc_migrate_target() for DAMOS_MIGRATE_{HOT,COLD" (SeongJae Park)
     provides some cleanup and consolidation work in DAMON.

  "use vm_flags_t consistently" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
     uses vm_flags_t in places where we were inappropriately using other
     types.

  "mm/memfd: Reserve hugetlb folios before allocation" (Vivek Kasireddy)
     increases the reliability of large page allocation in the memfd
     code.

  "mm: Remove pXX_devmap page table bit and pfn_t type" (Alistair Popple)
     removes several now-unneeded PFN_* flags.

  "mm/damon: decouple sysfs from core" (SeongJae Park)
     implememnts some cleanup and maintainability work in the DAMON
     sysfs layer.

  "madvise cleanup" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
     does quite a lot of cleanup/maintenance work in the madvise() code.

  "madvise anon_name cleanups" (Vlastimil Babka)
     provides additional cleanups on top or Lorenzo's effort.

  "Implement numa node notifier" (Oscar Salvador)
     creates a standalone notifier for NUMA node memory state changes.
     Previously these were lumped under the more general memory
     on/offline notifier.

  "Make MIGRATE_ISOLATE a standalone bit" (Zi Yan)
     cleans up the pageblock isolation code and fixes a potential issue
     which doesn't seem to cause any problems in practice.

  "selftests/damon: add python and drgn based DAMON sysfs functionality tests" (SeongJae Park)
     adds additional drgn- and python-based DAMON selftests which are
     more comprehensive than the existing selftest suite.

  "Misc rework on hugetlb faulting path" (Oscar Salvador)
     fixes a rather obscure deadlock in the hugetlb fault code and
     follows that fix with a series of cleanups.

  "cma: factor out allocation logic from __cma_declare_contiguous_nid" (Mike Rapoport)
     rationalizes and cleans up the highmem-specific code in the CMA
     allocator.

  "mm/migration: rework movable_ops page migration (part 1)" (David Hildenbrand)
     provides cleanups and future-preparedness to the migration code.

  "mm/damon: add trace events for auto-tuned monitoring intervals and DAMOS quota" (SeongJae Park)
     adds some tracepoints to some DAMON auto-tuning code.

  "mm/damon: fix misc bugs in DAMON modules" (SeongJae Park)
     does that.

  "mm/damon: misc cleanups" (SeongJae Park)
     also does what it claims.

  "mm: folio_pte_batch() improvements" (David Hildenbrand)
     cleans up the large folio PTE batching code.

  "mm/damon/vaddr: Allow interleaving in migrate_{hot,cold} actions" (SeongJae Park)
     facilitates dynamic alteration of DAMON's inter-node allocation
     policy.

  "Remove unmap_and_put_page()" (Vishal Moola)
     provides a couple of page->folio conversions.

  "mm: per-node proactive reclaim" (Davidlohr Bueso)
     implements a per-node control of proactive reclaim - beyond the
     current memcg-based implementation.

  "mm/damon: remove damon_callback" (SeongJae Park)
     replaces the damon_callback interface with a more general and
     powerful damon_call()+damos_walk() interface.

  "mm/mremap: permit mremap() move of multiple VMAs" (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.

  "drop hugetlb_free_pgd_range()" (Anthony Yznaga)
     switches some sparc hugetlb code over to the generic version and
     removes the thus-unneeded hugetlb_free_pgd_range().

  "mm/damon/sysfs: support periodic and automated stats update" (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.

  "Some randome fixes and cleanups to swapfile" (Kemeng Shi)
     does what is claims.

  "mm: introduce snapshot_page" (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.

  "use per-vma locks for /proc/pid/maps reads" (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.

  "__folio_split() clean up" (Zi Yan)
     cleans up __folio_split()!

  "Optimize mprotect() for large folios" (Dev Jain)
     provides some quite large (>3x) speedups to mprotect() when dealing
     with large folios.

  "selftests/mm: reuse FORCE_READ to replace "asm volatile("" : "+r" (XXX));" and some cleanup" (wang lian)
     does some cleanup work in the selftests code.

  "tools/testing: expand mremap testing" (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.

  "selftests/damon/sysfs.py: test all parameters" (SeongJae Park)
     extends the DAMON sysfs interface selftest so that it tests all
     possible user-requested parameters. Rather than the present minimal
     subset"

Gerald Schaefer c26ad45ba5 mm/debug_vm_pgtable: use a swp_entry_t input value for swap tests 
The various __pte/pmd_to_swp_entry and __swp_entry_to_pte/pmd helper
functions are expected to operate on swap PTE/PMD entries, not on present
and mapped entries.

Reflect this in the swap tests by using a swp_entry_t as input value, and
convert it to a swap PTE/PMD for testing, similar to how it is already
done in pte_swap_exclusive_tests().  Move the swap entry creation from
there to init_args() and store it in args, so it can also be used in other
functions.

The pte/pmd_swap_tests() are also changed to compare entries instead of
pfn values, again similar to pte_swap_exclusive_tests().  pte/pmd_pfn()
helpers are also not expected to operate on swap PTE/PMD entries at all.

Also update documentation, to reflect that the helpers operate on swap
PTE/PMD entries and not present and mapped entries, and use correct names,
i.e.  __swp_to_pte/pmd_entry -> __swp_entry_to_pte/pmd.

For consistency, also change pte/pmd_swap_soft_dirty_tests() to use
args->swp_entry instead of a present and mapped PTE/PMD.

Zi Yan 42f46ed99a mm/page_alloc: pageblock flags functions clean up 
Patch series "Make MIGRATE_ISOLATE a standalone bit", v10.

This patchset moves MIGRATE_ISOLATE to a standalone bit to avoid being
overwritten during pageblock isolation process.  Currently,
MIGRATE_ISOLATE is part of enum migratetype (in include/linux/mmzone.h),
thus, setting a pageblock to MIGRATE_ISOLATE overwrites its original
migratetype.  This causes pageblock migratetype loss during
alloc_contig_range() and memory offline, especially when the process fails
due to a failed pageblock isolation and the code tries to undo the
finished pageblock isolations.

In terms of performance for changing pageblock types, no performance
change is observed:

1. I used perf to collect stats of offlining and onlining all memory
   of a 40GB VM 10 times and see that get_pfnblock_flags_mask() and
   set_pfnblock_flags_mask() take about 0.12% and 0.02% of the whole
   process respectively with and without this patchset across 3 runs.

2. I used perf to collect stats of dd from /dev/random to a 40GB tmpfs
   file and find get_pfnblock_flags_mask() takes about 0.05% of the
   process with and without this patchset across 3 runs.


This patch (of 6):

No functional change is intended.

1. Add __NR_PAGEBLOCK_BITS for the number of pageblock flag bits and use
   roundup_pow_of_two(__NR_PAGEBLOCK_BITS) as NR_PAGEBLOCK_BITS to take
   right amount of bits for pageblock flags.
2. Rename PB_migrate_skip to PB_compact_skip.
3. Add {get,set,clear}_pfnblock_bit() to operate one a standalone bit,
   like PB_compact_skip.
3. Make {get,set}_pfnblock_flags_mask() internal functions and use
   {get,set}_pfnblock_migratetype() for pageblock migratetype operations.
4. Move pageblock flags common code to get_pfnblock_bitmap_bitidx().
3. Use MIGRATETYPE_MASK to get the migratetype of a pageblock from its
   flags.
4. Use PB_migrate_end in the definition of MIGRATETYPE_MASK instead of
   PB_migrate_bits.
5. Add a comment on is_migrate_cma_folio() to prevent one from changing it
   to use get_pageblock_migratetype() and causing issues.

Now that DAX and all other reference counts to ZONE_DEVICE pages are

However it waves it hands about non-VMA traversal.  Add a section for this
and explain the caveats around this kind of traversal.

Additionally, commit 6375e95f38 ("mm: pgtable: reclaim empty PTE page in

SeongJae Park 6a4b3551ba Docs/damon: update titles and brief introductions to explain DAMOS 
DAMON was initially developed only for data access monitoring, and then
extended for not only access monitoring but also access-aware system
operations (DAMOS).  But the documents have old titles and brief
introductions for only the monitoring part.  Update the titles and the
brief introductions to explain DAMOS part together.
