The prandom_u32() function has been a deprecated inline wrapper around
get_random_u32() for several releases now, and compiles down to the
exact same code. Replace the deprecated wrapper with a direct call to
the real function. The same also applies to get_random_int(), which is
just a wrapper around get_random_u32(). This was done as a basic find
and replace.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:

 - Yu Zhao's Multi-Gen LRU patches are here. They've been under test in
   linux-next for a couple of months without, to my knowledge, any
   negative reports (or any positive ones, come to that).

 - Also the Maple Tree from Liam Howlett. An overlapping range-based
   tree for vmas. It it apparently slightly more efficient in its own
   right, but is mainly targeted at enabling work to reduce mmap_lock
   contention.

   Liam has identified a number of other tree users in the kernel which
   could be beneficially onverted to mapletrees.

   Yu Zhao has identified a hard-to-hit but "easy to fix" lockdep splat
   at [1]. This has yet to be addressed due to Liam's unfortunately
   timed vacation. He is now back and we'll get this fixed up.

 - Dmitry Vyukov introduces KMSAN: the Kernel Memory Sanitizer. It uses
   clang-generated instrumentation to detect used-unintialized bugs down
   to the single bit level.

   KMSAN keeps finding bugs. New ones, as well as the legacy ones.

 - Yang Shi adds a userspace mechanism (madvise) to induce a collapse of
   memory into THPs.

 - Zach O'Keefe has expanded Yang Shi's madvise(MADV_COLLAPSE) to
   support file/shmem-backed pages.

 - userfaultfd updates from Axel Rasmussen

 - zsmalloc cleanups from Alexey Romanov

 - cleanups from Miaohe Lin: vmscan, hugetlb_cgroup, hugetlb and
   memory-failure

 - Huang Ying adds enhancements to NUMA balancing memory tiering mode's
   page promotion, with a new way of detecting hot pages.

 - memcg updates from Shakeel Butt: charging optimizations and reduced
   memory consumption.

 - memcg cleanups from Kairui Song.

 - memcg fixes and cleanups from Johannes Weiner.

 - Vishal Moola provides more folio conversions

 - Zhang Yi removed ll_rw_block() :(

 - migration enhancements from Peter Xu

 - migration error-path bugfixes from Huang Ying

 - Aneesh Kumar added ability for a device driver to alter the memory
   tiering promotion paths. For optimizations by PMEM drivers, DRM
   drivers, etc.

 - vma merging improvements from Jakub Matěn.

 - NUMA hinting cleanups from David Hildenbrand.

 - xu xin added aditional userspace visibility into KSM merging
   activity.

 - THP &amp; KSM code consolidation from Qi Zheng.

 - more folio work from Matthew Wilcox.

 - KASAN updates from Andrey Konovalov.

 - DAMON cleanups from Kaixu Xia.

 - DAMON work from SeongJae Park: fixes, cleanups.

 - hugetlb sysfs cleanups from Muchun Song.

 - Mike Kravetz fixes locking issues in hugetlbfs and in hugetlb core.

Function memcpy_real() is an univeral data mover that does not
require DAT mode to be able reading from a physical address.
Its advantage is an ability to read from any address, even
those for which no kernel virtual mapping exists.

Although memcpy_real() is interrupt-safe, there are no handlers
that make use of this function. The compiler instrumentation
have to be disabled and separate no-DAT stack used to allow
execution of the function once DAT mode is disabled.

Rework memcpy_real() to overcome these shortcomings. As result,
data copying (which is primarily reading out a crashed system
memory by a user process) is executed on a regular stack with
enabled interrupts. Also, use of memcpy_real_buf swap buffer
becomes unnecessary and the swapping is eliminated.

The above is achieved by using a fixed virtual address range
that spans a single page and remaps that page repeatedly when
memcpy_real() is called for a particular physical address.

<id>urn:sha1:4df29d2b9024d6ababc6342cf5f721cbaff517b5</id>
<content type='text'>
Temporary unsetting of the prefix page in memcpy_absolute() routine
poses a risk of executing code path with unexpectedly disabled prefix
page. This rework avoids the prefix page uninstalling and disabling
of normal and machine check interrupts when accessing the absolute
zero memory.

Although memcpy_absolute() routine can access the whole memory, it is
only used to update the absolute zero lowcore. This rework therefore
introduces a new mechanism for the absolute zero lowcore access and
scraps memcpy_absolute() routine for good.

Instead, an area is reserved in the virtual memory that is used for
the absolute lowcore access only. That area holds an array of 8KB
virtual mappings - one per CPU. Whenever a CPU is brought online, the
corresponding item is mapped to the real address of the previously
installed prefix page.

The absolute zero lowcore access works like this: a CPU calls the
new primitive get_abs_lowcore() to obtain its 8KB mapping as a
pointer to the struct lowcore. Virtual address references to that
pointer get translated to the real addresses of the prefix page,
which in turn gets swapped with the absolute zero memory addresses
due to prefixing. Once the pointer is not needed it must be released
with put_abs_lowcore() primitive:

	struct lowcore *abs_lc;
	unsigned long flags;

	abs_lc = get_abs_lowcore(&amp;flags);
	abs_lc-&gt;... = ...;
	put_abs_lowcore(abs_lc, flags);

To ensure the described mechanism works large segment- and region-
table entries must be avoided for the 8KB mappings. Failure to do
so results in usage of Region-Frame Absolute Address (RFAA) or
Segment-Frame Absolute Address (SFAA) large page fields. In that
case absolute addresses would be used to address the prefix page
instead of the real ones and the prefixing would get bypassed.

<title>s390/hugetlb: switch to generic version of follow_huge_pud()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:1a6baaa0db733c0dca2e170ca1df2b09834f47ce</id>
<content type='text'>
When pud-sized hugepages were introduced for s390, the generic version of
follow_huge_pud() was using pte_page() instead of pud_page().  This would
be wrong for s390, see also commit 97534127012f ("mm/hugetlb: use
pmd_page() in follow_huge_pmd()").  Therefore, and probably because not
all archs were supporting pud_page() at that time, a private version of
follow_huge_pud() was added for s390, correctly using pud_page().

Since commit 3a194f3f8ad01 ("mm/hugetlb: make pud_huge() and
follow_huge_pud() aware of non-present pud entry"), the generic version of
follow_huge_pud() is now also using pud_page(), and in general behaves
similar to follow_huge_pmd().

Therefore we can now switch to the generic version and get rid of the
s390-specific follow_huge_pud().
