This results in a 3.5% performance improvement on the "perf bench sched messaging" test. - Kernel boot parameters cleanup after SLAB removal (Xiongwei Song) Due to two different main slab implementations we've had boot parameters prefixed either slab_ and slub_ with some later becoming an alias as both implementations gained the same functionality (i.e. slab_nomerge vs slub_nomerge). In order to eventually get rid of the implementation-specific names, the canonical and documented parameters are now all prefixed slab_ and the slub_ variants become deprecated but still working aliases. - SLAB_ kmem_cache creation flags cleanup (Vlastimil Babka) The flags had hardcoded #define values which became tedious and error-prone when adding new ones. Assign the values via an enum that takes care of providing unique bit numbers. Also deprecate SLAB_MEM_SPREAD which was only used by SLAB, so it's a no-op since SLAB removal. Assign it an explicit zero value. The removals of the flag usage are handled independently in the respective subsystems, with a final removal of any leftover usage planned for the next release. - Misc cleanups and fixes (Chengming Zhou, Xiaolei Wang, Zheng Yejian) Includes removal of unused code or function parameters and a fix of a memleak. * tag 'slab-for-6.9' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vbabka/slab: slab: remove PARTIAL_NODE slab_state mm, slab: remove memcg_from_slab_obj() mm, slab: remove the corner case of inc_slabs_node() mm/slab: Fix a kmemleak in kmem_cache_destroy() mm, slab, kasan: replace kasan_never_merge() with SLAB_NO_MERGE mm, slab: use an enum to define SLAB_ cache creation flags mm, slab: deprecate SLAB_MEM_SPREAD flag mm, slab: fix the comment of cpu partial list mm, slab: remove unused object_size parameter in kmem_cache_flags() mm/slub: remove parameter 'flags' in create_kmalloc_caches() mm/slub: remove unused parameter in next_freelist_entry() mm/slub: remove full list manipulation for non-debug slab mm/slub: directly load freelist from cpu partial slab in the likely case mm/slub: make the description of slab_min_objects helpful in doc mm/slub: replace slub_$params with slab_$params in slub.rst mm/slub: unify all sl[au]b parameters with "slab_$param" Documentation: kernel-parameters: remove noaliencache |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the ReStructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
