Pull more random number generator updates from Jason Donenfeld:
 "This time with some large scale treewide cleanups.

  The intent of this pull is to clean up the way callers fetch random
  integers. The current rules for doing this right are:

   - If you want a secure or an insecure random u64, use get_random_u64()

   - If you want a secure or an insecure random u32, use get_random_u32()

     The old function prandom_u32() has been deprecated for a while
     now and is just a wrapper around get_random_u32(). Same for
     get_random_int().

   - If you want a secure or an insecure random u16, use get_random_u16()

   - If you want a secure or an insecure random u8, use get_random_u8()

   - If you want secure or insecure random bytes, use get_random_bytes().

     The old function prandom_bytes() has been deprecated for a while
     now and has long been a wrapper around get_random_bytes()

   - If you want a non-uniform random u32, u16, or u8 bounded by a
     certain open interval maximum, use prandom_u32_max()

     I say "non-uniform", because it doesn't do any rejection sampling
     or divisions. Hence, it stays within the prandom_*() namespace, not
     the get_random_*() namespace.

     I'm currently investigating a "uniform" function for 6.2. We'll see
     what comes of that.

  By applying these rules uniformly, we get several benefits:

   - By using prandom_u32_max() with an upper-bound that the compiler
     can prove at compile-time is ≤65536 or ≤256, internally
     get_random_u16() or get_random_u8() is used, which wastes fewer
     batched random bytes, and hence has higher throughput.

   - By using prandom_u32_max() instead of %, when the upper-bound is
     not a constant, division is still avoided, because
     prandom_u32_max() uses a faster multiplication-based trick instead.

   - By using get_random_u16() or get_random_u8() in cases where the
     return value is intended to indeed be a u16 or a u8, we waste fewer
     batched random bytes, and hence have higher throughput.

  This series was originally done by hand while I was on an airplane
  without Internet. Later, Kees and I worked on retroactively figuring
  out what could be done with Coccinelle and what had to be done
  manually, and then we split things up based on that.

  So while this touches a lot of files, the actual amount of code that's
  hand fiddled is comfortably small"

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.

<content type='text'>
Currently the panic notifiers from user mode linux don't follow
the convention for most of the other notifiers present in the
kernel (indentation, priority setting, numeric return).
More important, the priorities could be improved, since it's a
special case (userspace), hence we could run the notifiers earlier;
user mode linux shouldn't care much with other panic notifiers but
the ordering among the mconsole and arch notifier is important,
given that the arch one effectively triggers a core dump.

Fix that by running the mconsole notifier as the first panic
notifier, followed by the architecture one (that coredumps).
