I could not remember the name of this system and it's pretty hard to
find without the right keywords. I had to ask an LLM!

Drop a breadcrumb to help people find it in the future.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:

 - Sumanth Korikkar has taught s390 to allocate hotplug-time page frames
   from hotplugged memory rather than only from main memory. Series
   "implement "memmap on memory" feature on s390".

 - More folio conversions from Matthew Wilcox in the series

	"Convert memcontrol charge moving to use folios"
	"mm: convert mm counter to take a folio"

 - Chengming Zhou has optimized zswap's rbtree locking, providing
   significant reductions in system time and modest but measurable
   reductions in overall runtimes. The series is "mm/zswap: optimize the
   scalability of zswap rb-tree".

 - Chengming Zhou has also provided the series "mm/zswap: optimize zswap
   lru list" which provides measurable runtime benefits in some
   swap-intensive situations.

 - And Chengming Zhou further optimizes zswap in the series "mm/zswap:
   optimize for dynamic zswap_pools". Measured improvements are modest.

 - zswap cleanups and simplifications from Yosry Ahmed in the series
   "mm: zswap: simplify zswap_swapoff()".

 - In the series "Add DAX ABI for memmap_on_memory", Vishal Verma has
   contributed several DAX cleanups as well as adding a sysfs tunable to
   control the memmap_on_memory setting when the dax device is
   hotplugged as system memory.

 - Johannes Weiner has added the large series "mm: zswap: cleanups",
   which does that.

 - More DAMON work from SeongJae Park in the series

	"mm/damon: make DAMON debugfs interface deprecation unignorable"
	"selftests/damon: add more tests for core functionalities and corner cases"
	"Docs/mm/damon: misc readability improvements"
	"mm/damon: let DAMOS feeds and tame/auto-tune itself"

 - In the series "mm/mempolicy: weighted interleave mempolicy and sysfs
   extension" Rakie Kim has developed a new mempolicy interleaving
   policy wherein we allocate memory across nodes in a weighted fashion
   rather than uniformly. This is beneficial in heterogeneous memory
   environments appearing with CXL.

 - Christophe Leroy has contributed some cleanup and consolidation work
   against the ARM pagetable dumping code in the series "mm: ptdump:
   Refactor CONFIG_DEBUG_WX and check_wx_pages debugfs attribute".

 - Luis Chamberlain has added some additional xarray selftesting in the
   series "test_xarray: advanced API multi-index tests".

 - Muhammad Usama Anjum has reworked the selftest code to make its
   human-readable output conform to the TAP ("Test Anything Protocol")
   format. Amongst other things, this opens up the use of third-party
   tools to parse and process out selftesting results.

 - Ryan Roberts has added fork()-time PTE batching of THP ptes in the
   series "mm/memory: optimize fork() with PTE-mapped THP". Mainly
   targeted at arm64, this significantly speeds up fork() when the
   process has a large number of pte-mapped folios.

 - David Hildenbrand also gets in on the THP pte batching game in his
   series "mm/memory: optimize unmap/zap with PTE-mapped THP". It
   implements batching during munmap() and other pte teardown
   situations. The microbenchmark improvements are nice.

 - And in the series "Transparent Contiguous PTEs for User Mappings"
   Ryan Roberts further utilizes arm's pte's contiguous bit ("contpte
   mappings"). Kernel build times on arm64 improved nicely. Ryan's
   series "Address some contpte nits" provides some followup work.

 - In the series "mm/hugetlb: Restore the reservation" Breno Leitao has
   fixed an obscure hugetlb race which was causing unnecessary page
   faults. He has also added a reproducer under the selftest code.

 - In the series "selftests/mm: Output cleanups for the compaction
   test", Mark Brown did what the title claims.

 - Kinsey Ho has added the series "mm/mglru: code cleanup and
   refactoring".

 - Even more zswap material from Nhat Pham. The series "fix and extend
   zswap kselftests" does as claimed.

 - In the series "Introduce cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() to fix DAX
   regression" Mathieu Desnoyers has cleaned up and fixed rather a mess
   in our handling of DAX on archiecctures which have virtually aliasing
   data caches. The arm architecture is the main beneficiary.

 - Lokesh Gidra's series "per-vma locks in userfaultfd" provides
   dramatic improvements in worst-case mmap_lock hold times during
   certain userfaultfd operations.

 - Some page_owner enhancements and maintenance work from Oscar Salvador
   in his series

	"page_owner: print stacks and their outstanding allocations"
	"page_owner: Fixup and cleanup"

 - Uladzislau Rezki has contributed some vmalloc scalability
   improvements in his series "Mitigate a vmap lock contention". It
   realizes a 12x improvement for a certain microbenchmark.

 - Some kexec/crash cleanup work from Baoquan He in the series "Split
   crash out from kexec and clean up related config items".

 - Some zsmalloc maintenance work from Chengming Zhou in the series

	"mm/zsmalloc: fix and optimize objects/page migration"
	"mm/zsmalloc: some cleanup for get/set_zspage_mapping()"

 - Zi Yan has taught the MM to perform compaction on folios larger than
   order=0. This a step along the path to implementaton of the merging
   of large anonymous folios. The series is named "Enable &gt;0 order folio
   memory compaction".

 - Christoph Hellwig has done quite a lot of cleanup work in the
   pagecache writeback code in his series "convert write_cache_pages()
   to an iterator".

 - Some modest hugetlb cleanups and speedups in Vishal Moola's series
   "Handle hugetlb faults under the VMA lock".

 - Zi Yan has changed the page splitting code so we can split huge pages
   into sizes other than order-0 to better utilize large folios. The
   series is named "Split a folio to any lower order folios".

 - David Hildenbrand has contributed the series "mm: remove
   total_mapcount()", a cleanup.

 - Matthew Wilcox has sought to improve the performance of bulk memory
   freeing in his series "Rearrange batched folio freeing".

 - Gang Li's series "hugetlb: parallelize hugetlb page init on boot"
   provides large improvements in bootup times on large machines which
   are configured to use large numbers of hugetlb pages.

 - Matthew Wilcox's series "PageFlags cleanups" does that.

 - Qi Zheng's series "minor fixes and supplement for ptdesc" does that
   also. S390 is affected.

 - Cleanups to our pagemap utility functions from Peter Xu in his series
   "mm/treewide: Replace pXd_large() with pXd_leaf()".

 - Nico Pache has fixed a few things with our hugepage selftests in his
   series "selftests/mm: Improve Hugepage Test Handling in MM
   Selftests".

 - Also, of course, many singleton patches to many things. Please see
   the individual changelogs for details.

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
 "Core &amp; protocols:

   - Large effort by Eric to lower rtnl_lock pressure and remove locks:

      - Make commonly used parts of rtnetlink (address, route dumps
        etc) lockless, protected by RCU instead of rtnl_lock.

      - Add a netns exit callback which already holds rtnl_lock,
        allowing netns exit to take rtnl_lock once in the core instead
        of once for each driver / callback.

      - Remove locks / serialization in the socket diag interface.

      - Remove 6 calls to synchronize_rcu() while holding rtnl_lock.

      - Remove the dev_base_lock, depend on RCU where necessary.

   - Support busy polling on a per-epoll context basis. Poll length and
     budget parameters can be set independently of system defaults.

   - Introduce struct net_hotdata, to make sure read-mostly global
     config variables fit in as few cache lines as possible.

   - Add optional per-nexthop statistics to ease monitoring / debug of
     ECMP imbalance problems.

   - Support TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT in MPTCP.

   - Ensure that IPv6 temporary addresses' preferred lifetimes are long
     enough, compared to other configured lifetimes, and at least 2 sec.

   - Support forwarding of ICMP Error messages in IPSec, per RFC 4301.

   - Add support for the independent control state machine for bonding
     per IEEE 802.1AX-2008 5.4.15 in addition to the existing coupled
     control state machine.

   - Add "network ID" to MCTP socket APIs to support hosts with multiple
     disjoint MCTP networks.

   - Re-use the mono_delivery_time skbuff bit for packets which user
     space wants to be sent at a specified time. Maintain the timing
     information while traversing veth links, bridge etc.

   - Take advantage of MSG_SPLICE_PAGES for RxRPC DATA and ACK packets.

   - Simplify many places iterating over netdevs by using an xarray
     instead of a hash table walk (hash table remains in place, for use
     on fastpaths).

   - Speed up scanning for expired routes by keeping a dedicated list.

   - Speed up "generic" XDP by trying harder to avoid large allocations.

   - Support attaching arbitrary metadata to netconsole messages.

  Things we sprinkled into general kernel code:

   - Enforce VM_IOREMAP flag and range in ioremap_page_range and
     introduce VM_SPARSE kind and vm_area_[un]map_pages (used by
     bpf_arena).

   - Rework selftest harness to enable the use of the full range of ksft
     exit code (pass, fail, skip, xfail, xpass).

  Netfilter:

   - Allow userspace to define a table that is exclusively owned by a
     daemon (via netlink socket aliveness) without auto-removing this
     table when the userspace program exits. Such table gets marked as
     orphaned and a restarting management daemon can re-attach/regain
     ownership.

   - Speed up element insertions to nftables' concatenated-ranges set
     type. Compact a few related data structures.

  BPF:

   - Add BPF token support for delegating a subset of BPF subsystem
     functionality from privileged system-wide daemons such as systemd
     through special mount options for userns-bound BPF fs to a trusted
     &amp; unprivileged application.

   - Introduce bpf_arena which is sparse shared memory region between
     BPF program and user space where structures inside the arena can
     have pointers to other areas of the arena, and pointers work
     seamlessly for both user-space programs and BPF programs.

   - Introduce may_goto instruction that is a contract between the
     verifier and the program. The verifier allows the program to loop
     assuming it's behaving well, but reserves the right to terminate
     it.

   - Extend the BPF verifier to enable static subprog calls in spin lock
     critical sections.

   - Support registration of struct_ops types from modules which helps
     projects like fuse-bpf that seeks to implement a new struct_ops
     type.

   - Add support for retrieval of cookies for perf/kprobe multi links.

   - Support arbitrary TCP SYN cookie generation / validation in the TC
     layer with BPF to allow creating SYN flood handling in BPF
     firewalls.

   - Add code generation to inline the bpf_kptr_xchg() helper which
     improves performance when stashing/popping the allocated BPF
     objects.

  Wireless:

   - Add SPP (signaling and payload protected) AMSDU support.

   - Support wider bandwidth OFDMA, as required for EHT operation.

  Driver API:

   - Major overhaul of the Energy Efficient Ethernet internals to
     support new link modes (2.5GE, 5GE), share more code between
     drivers (especially those using phylib), and encourage more
     uniform behavior. Convert and clean up drivers.

   - Define an API for querying per netdev queue statistics from
     drivers.

   - IPSec: account in global stats for fully offloaded sessions.

   - Create a concept of Ethernet PHY Packages at the Device Tree level,
     to allow parameterizing the existing PHY package code.

   - Enable Rx hashing (RSS) on GTP protocol fields.

  Misc:

   - Improvements and refactoring all over networking selftests.

   - Create uniform module aliases for TC classifiers, actions, and
     packet schedulers to simplify creating modprobe policies.

   - Address all missing MODULE_DESCRIPTION() warnings in networking.

   - Extend the Netlink descriptions in YAML to cover message
     encapsulation or "Netlink polymorphism", where interpretation of
     nested attributes depends on link type, classifier type or some
     other "class type".

Pull hardening updates from Kees Cook:
 "As is pretty normal for this tree, there are changes all over the
  place, especially for small fixes, selftest improvements, and improved
  macro usability.

  Some header changes ended up landing via this tree as they depended on
  the string header cleanups. Also, a notable set of changes is the work
  for the reintroduction of the UBSAN signed integer overflow sanitizer
  so that we can continue to make improvements on the compiler side to

   - Use long form types in overflow.h (Andy Shevchenko)

   - Add flags param to string_get_size() (Andy Shevchenko)

   - Add Coccinelle script for potential struct_size() use (Jacob
     Keller)

   - Fix objtool corner case under KCFI (Josh Poimboeuf)

   - Drop 13 year old backward compat CAP_SYS_ADMIN check (Jingzi Meng)

   - Add str_plural() helper (Michal Wajdeczko, Kees Cook)

   - Improve reporting during fortified string warnings

   - Allow non-type arg to type_max() and type_min()

   - Allow strscpy() to be called with only 2 arguments

   - Add binary mode to leaking_addresses scanner

   - Various small cleanups to leaking_addresses scanner

   - Adding wrapping_*() arithmetic helper

   - Annotate initial signed integer wrap-around in refcount_t

Pull kselftest update from Shuah Khan:

 - livepatch restructuring to move the module out of lib to be built as
   a out-of-tree modules during kselftest build. This makes it easier
   change, debug and rebuild the tests by running make on the
   selftests/livepatch directory, which is not currently possible since
   the modules on lib/livepatch are build and installed using the main
   makefile modules target.

 - livepatch restructuring fixes for problems found by kernel test
   robot. The change skips the test if kernel-devel isn't installed
   (default value of KDIR), or if KDIR variable passed doesn't exists.

 - resctrl test restructuring and new non-contiguous CBMs CAT test

 - new ktap_helpers to print diagnostic messages, pass/fail tests based
   on exit code, abort test, and finish the test.

 - a new test verify power supply properties.

 - a new ftrace to exercise function tracer across cpu hotplug.

 - timeout increase for mqueue test to allow the test to run on i3.metal
   AWS instances.

 - minor spelling corrections in several tests.

 - missing gitignore files and changes to existing gitignore files.

<content type='text'>
After commit f7e01ab828fd ("kasan: move tests to mm/kasan/"), the test
file is renamed to mm/kasan/kasan_test.c and the test module is renamed to
kasan_test.ko, so update the descriptions in the document.

While at it, update the line number and testcase number when the tests
kmalloc_large_oob_right and kmalloc_double_kzfree failed to sync with the
current code in mm/kasan/kasan_test.c.

<title>ubsan: Remove CONFIG_UBSAN_SANITIZE_ALL</title>

<id>urn:sha1:918327e9b7ffb45321cbb4b9b86b58ec555fe6b3</id>
<content type='text'>
For simplicity in splitting out UBSan options into separate rules,
remove CONFIG_UBSAN_SANITIZE_ALL, effectively defaulting to "y", which
is how it is generally used anyway. (There are no ":= y" cases beyond
where a specific file is enabled when a top-level ":= n" is in effect.)
