Linus Torvalds ecae0bd517 Many singleton patches against the MM code. The patch series which are
included in this merge do the following:
 
 - Kemeng Shi has contributed some compation maintenance work in the
   series "Fixes and cleanups to compaction".
 
 - Joel Fernandes has a patchset ("Optimize mremap during mutual
   alignment within PMD") which fixes an obscure issue with mremap()'s
   pagetable handling during a subsequent exec(), based upon an
   implementation which Linus suggested.
 
 - More DAMON/DAMOS maintenance and feature work from SeongJae Park i the
   following patch series:
 
 	mm/damon: misc fixups for documents, comments and its tracepoint
 	mm/damon: add a tracepoint for damos apply target regions
 	mm/damon: provide pseudo-moving sum based access rate
 	mm/damon: implement DAMOS apply intervals
 	mm/damon/core-test: Fix memory leaks in core-test
 	mm/damon/sysfs-schemes: Do DAMOS tried regions update for only one apply interval
 
 - In the series "Do not try to access unaccepted memory" Adrian Hunter
   provides some fixups for the recently-added "unaccepted memory' feature.
   To increase the feature's checking coverage.  "Plug a few gaps where
   RAM is exposed without checking if it is unaccepted memory".
 
 - In the series "cleanups for lockless slab shrink" Qi Zheng has done
   some maintenance work which is preparation for the lockless slab
   shrinking code.
 
 - Qi Zheng has redone the earlier (and reverted) attempt to make slab
   shrinking lockless in the series "use refcount+RCU method to implement
   lockless slab shrink".
 
 - David Hildenbrand contributes some maintenance work for the rmap code
   in the series "Anon rmap cleanups".
 
 - Kefeng Wang does more folio conversions and some maintenance work in
   the migration code.  Series "mm: migrate: more folio conversion and
   unification".
 
 - Matthew Wilcox has fixed an issue in the buffer_head code which was
   causing long stalls under some heavy memory/IO loads.  Some cleanups
   were added on the way.  Series "Add and use bdev_getblk()".
 
 - In the series "Use nth_page() in place of direct struct page
   manipulation" Zi Yan has fixed a potential issue with the direct
   manipulation of hugetlb page frames.
 
 - In the series "mm: hugetlb: Skip initialization of gigantic tail
   struct pages if freed by HVO" has improved our handling of gigantic
   pages in the hugetlb vmmemmep optimizaton code.  This provides
   significant boot time improvements when significant amounts of gigantic
   pages are in use.
 
 - Matthew Wilcox has sent the series "Small hugetlb cleanups" - code
   rationalization and folio conversions in the hugetlb code.
 
 - Yin Fengwei has improved mlock()'s handling of large folios in the
   series "support large folio for mlock"
 
 - In the series "Expose swapcache stat for memcg v1" Liu Shixin has
   added statistics for memcg v1 users which are available (and useful)
   under memcg v2.
 
 - Florent Revest has enhanced the MDWE (Memory-Deny-Write-Executable)
   prctl so that userspace may direct the kernel to not automatically
   propagate the denial to child processes.  The series is named "MDWE
   without inheritance".
 
 - Kefeng Wang has provided the series "mm: convert numa balancing
   functions to use a folio" which does what it says.
 
 - In the series "mm/ksm: add fork-exec support for prctl" Stefan Roesch
   makes is possible for a process to propagate KSM treatment across
   exec().
 
 - Huang Ying has enhanced memory tiering's calculation of memory
   distances.  This is used to permit the dax/kmem driver to use "high
   bandwidth memory" in addition to Optane Data Center Persistent Memory
   Modules (DCPMM).  The series is named "memory tiering: calculate
   abstract distance based on ACPI HMAT"
 
 - In the series "Smart scanning mode for KSM" Stefan Roesch has
   optimized KSM by teaching it to retain and use some historical
   information from previous scans.
 
 - Yosry Ahmed has fixed some inconsistencies in memcg statistics in the
   series "mm: memcg: fix tracking of pending stats updates values".
 
 - In the series "Implement IOCTL to get and optionally clear info about
   PTEs" Peter Xu has added an ioctl to /proc/<pid>/pagemap which permits
   us to atomically read-then-clear page softdirty state.  This is mainly
   used by CRIU.
 
 - Hugh Dickins contributed the series "shmem,tmpfs: general maintenance"
   - a bunch of relatively minor maintenance tweaks to this code.
 
 - Matthew Wilcox has increased the use of the VMA lock over file-backed
   page faults in the series "Handle more faults under the VMA lock".  Some
   rationalizations of the fault path became possible as a result.
 
 - In the series "mm/rmap: convert page_move_anon_rmap() to
   folio_move_anon_rmap()" David Hildenbrand has implemented some cleanups
   and folio conversions.
 
 - In the series "various improvements to the GUP interface" Lorenzo
   Stoakes has simplified and improved the GUP interface with an eye to
   providing groundwork for future improvements.
 
 - Andrey Konovalov has sent along the series "kasan: assorted fixes and
   improvements" which does those things.
 
 - Some page allocator maintenance work from Kemeng Shi in the series
   "Two minor cleanups to break_down_buddy_pages".
 
 - In thes series "New selftest for mm" Breno Leitao has developed
   another MM self test which tickles a race we had between madvise() and
   page faults.
 
 - In the series "Add folio_end_read" Matthew Wilcox provides cleanups
   and an optimization to the core pagecache code.
 
 - Nhat Pham has added memcg accounting for hugetlb memory in the series
   "hugetlb memcg accounting".
 
 - Cleanups and rationalizations to the pagemap code from Lorenzo
   Stoakes, in the series "Abstract vma_merge() and split_vma()".
 
 - Audra Mitchell has fixed issues in the procfs page_owner code's new
   timestamping feature which was causing some misbehaviours.  In the
   series "Fix page_owner's use of free timestamps".
 
 - Lorenzo Stoakes has fixed the handling of new mappings of sealed files
   in the series "permit write-sealed memfd read-only shared mappings".
 
 - Mike Kravetz has optimized the hugetlb vmemmap optimization in the
   series "Batch hugetlb vmemmap modification operations".
 
 - Some buffer_head folio conversions and cleanups from Matthew Wilcox in
   the series "Finish the create_empty_buffers() transition".
 
 - As a page allocator performance optimization Huang Ying has added
   automatic tuning to the allocator's per-cpu-pages feature, in the series
   "mm: PCP high auto-tuning".
 
 - Roman Gushchin has contributed the patchset "mm: improve performance
   of accounted kernel memory allocations" which improves their performance
   by ~30% as measured by a micro-benchmark.
 
 - folio conversions from Kefeng Wang in the series "mm: convert page
   cpupid functions to folios".
 
 - Some kmemleak fixups in Liu Shixin's series "Some bugfix about
   kmemleak".

   off the allocation fallback list.  This is done in the series "handle
   memoryless nodes more appropriately".
 
 - khugepaged conversions from Vishal Moola in the series "Some
