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.

<title>kbuild: use obj-y instead extra-y for objects placed at the head</title>
<updated>2022-10-02T09:04:05Z</updated>

<id>urn:sha1:3216484550610470013b7ce1c9ed272da0a74589</id>
<content type='text'>
The objects placed at the head of vmlinux need special treatments:

 - arch/$(SRCARCH)/Makefile adds them to head-y in order to place
   them before other archives in the linker command line.

 - arch/$(SRCARCH)/kernel/Makefile adds them to extra-y instead of
   obj-y to avoid them going into built-in.a.

This commit gets rid of the latter.

Create vmlinux.a to collect all the objects that are unconditionally
linked to vmlinux. The objects listed in head-y are moved to the head
of vmlinux.a by using 'ar m'.

With this, arch/$(SRCARCH)/kernel/Makefile can consistently use obj-y
for builtin objects.

There is no *.o that is directly linked to vmlinux. Drop unneeded code
in scripts/clang-tools/gen_compile_commands.py.

$(AR) mPi needs 'T' to workaround the llvm-ar bug. The fix was suggested
by Nathan Chancellor [1].

Use the VMA iterator instead.  Since VMA can no longer be NULL in the
loop, then deal with out-of-memory outside the loop.  This means a
slightly longer run time in the failure case (-ENOMEM) - it will run to
the end of the VMAs before erroring instead of in the middle of the loop.

<content type='text'>
Pull RCU updates from Paul McKenney:

 - Documentation updates

 - Miscellaneous fixes

 - Callback-offload updates, perhaps most notably a new
   RCU_NOCB_CPU_DEFAULT_ALL Kconfig option that causes all CPUs to be
   offloaded at boot time, regardless of kernel boot parameters.

   This is useful to battery-powered systems such as ChromeOS and
   Android. In addition, a new RCU_NOCB_CPU_CB_BOOST kernel boot
   parameter prevents offloaded callbacks from interfering with
   real-time workloads and with energy-efficiency mechanisms

 - Polled grace-period updates, perhaps most notably making these APIs
   account for both normal and expedited grace periods

 - Tasks RCU updates, perhaps most notably reducing the CPU overhead of
   RCU tasks trace grace periods by more than a factor of two on a
   system with 15,000 tasks.

   The reduction is expected to increase with the number of tasks, so it
   seems reasonable to hypothesize that a system with 150,000 tasks
   might see a 20-fold reduction in CPU overhead

 - Torture-test updates

 - Updates that merge RCU's dyntick-idle tracking into context tracking,
   thus reducing the overhead of transitioning to kernel mode from
   either idle or nohz_full userspace execution for kernels that track
   context independently of RCU.

   This is expected to be helpful primarily for kernels built with
   CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y

<content type='text'>
Now that the irq_data_update_affinity helper exists, enforce its use
by returning a a const cpumask from irq_data_get_affinity_mask.

Since the previous commit already updated places that needed to call
irq_data_update_affinity, this commit updates the remaining code that
either did not modify the cpumask or immediately passed the modified
mask to irq_set_affinity.

Context tracking is going to be used not only to track user transitions
but also idle/IRQs/NMIs. The user tracking part will then become a
separate feature. Prepare Kconfig for that.
