Pull filesystem folio updates from Matthew Wilcox:
"Primarily this series converts some of the address_space operations to

obvious they're bytes.
- a_ops->invalidatepage() becomes ->invalidate_folio() and has a
similar type change.
- a_ops->launder_page() becomes ->launder_folio()

In DAMON's early development stage before it be merged in the mainline, it
was first designed to work exclusively with Idle page tracking to avoid
any interference between each other. Later, but still before be merged in
the mainline, because Idle page tracking is fully under the control of
sysadmins, we made the resolving of conflict as the responsibility of
sysadmins. The document is not updated for the change, though. This
commit updates the document for that.

Patch series "Docs/damon: Update documents for better consistency".
Some of DAMON document are not properly updated for latest version. This
patchset updates such parts.
This patch (of 3):
DAMON code calls the low level monitoring primitives implementations the
monitoring operations. The documentation would have no problem at still
calling those primitives implementation because there is no real
difference in the concepts, but making it more consistent with the code
would make it better. This commit therefore convert sentences in the doc
specifically pointing the implementations of the primitives to call it
monitoring operations.

Allow the use of a deferrable timer, which does not force CPU wake-ups
when the system is idle. A consequence is that the sample interval
becomes very unpredictable, to the point that it is not guaranteed that
the KFENCE KUnit test still passes.
Nevertheless, on power-constrained systems this may be preferable, so
let's give the user the option should they accept the above trade-off.

Zswap has an ability to efficiently store same-value filled pages, which
can be turned on and off using the "same_filled_pages_enabled"
parameter.
However, there is currently no way to enable just this (lightweight)
functionality, while not making use of the whole compressed page storage
machinery.
Add a "non_same_filled_pages_enabled" parameter which allows disabling
handling of pages that aren't same-value filled. This way zswap can be
run in such lightweight same-value filled pages only mode.

With the advent of various new memory types, some machines will have
multiple types of memory, e.g. DRAM and PMEM (persistent memory). The
memory subsystem of these machines can be called memory tiering system,
because the performance of the different types of memory are usually
different.
In such system, because of the memory accessing pattern changing etc,
some pages in the slow memory may become hot globally. So in this
patch, the NUMA balancing mechanism is enhanced to optimize the page
placement among the different memory types according to hot/cold
dynamically.
In a typical memory tiering system, there are CPUs, fast memory and slow
memory in each physical NUMA node. The CPUs and the fast memory will be
put in one logical node (called fast memory node), while the slow memory
will be put in another (faked) logical node (called slow memory node).
That is, the fast memory is regarded as local while the slow memory is
regarded as remote. So it's possible for the recently accessed pages in
the slow memory node to be promoted to the fast memory node via the
existing NUMA balancing mechanism.
The original NUMA balancing mechanism will stop to migrate pages if the
free memory of the target node becomes below the high watermark. This
is a reasonable policy if there's only one memory type. But this makes
the original NUMA balancing mechanism almost do not work to optimize
page placement among different memory types. Details are as follows.
It's the common cases that the working-set size of the workload is
larger than the size of the fast memory nodes. Otherwise, it's
unnecessary to use the slow memory at all. So, there are almost always
no enough free pages in the fast memory nodes, so that the globally hot
pages in the slow memory node cannot be promoted to the fast memory
node. To solve the issue, we have 2 choices as follows,
a. Ignore the free pages watermark checking when promoting hot pages
from the slow memory node to the fast memory node. This will
create some memory pressure in the fast memory node, thus trigger
the memory reclaiming. So that, the cold pages in the fast memory
node will be demoted to the slow memory node.
b. Define a new watermark called wmark_promo which is higher than
wmark_high, and have kswapd reclaiming pages until free pages reach
such watermark. The scenario is as follows: when we want to promote
hot-pages from a slow memory to a fast memory, but fast memory's free
pages would go lower than high watermark with such promotion, we wake
up kswapd with wmark_promo watermark in order to demote cold pages and
free us up some space. So, next time we want to promote hot-pages we
might have a chance of doing so.
The choice "a" may create high memory pressure in the fast memory node.
If the memory pressure of the workload is high, the memory pressure
may become so high that the memory allocation latency of the workload
is influenced, e.g. the direct reclaiming may be triggered.
The choice "b" works much better at this aspect. If the memory
pressure of the workload is high, the hot pages promotion will stop
earlier because its allocation watermark is higher than that of the
normal memory allocation. So in this patch, choice "b" is implemented.
A new zone watermark (WMARK_PROMO) is added. Which is larger than the
high watermark and can be controlled via watermark_scale_factor.
In addition to the original page placement optimization among sockets,
the NUMA balancing mechanism is extended to be used to optimize page
placement according to hot/cold among different memory types. So the
sysctl user space interface (numa_balancing) is extended in a backward
compatible way as follow, so that the users can enable/disable these
functionality individually.
The sysctl is converted from a Boolean value to a bits field. The
definition of the flags is,
- 0: NUMA_BALANCING_DISABLED
- 1: NUMA_BALANCING_NORMAL
- 2: NUMA_BALANCING_MEMORY_TIERING
We have tested the patch with the pmbench memory accessing benchmark
with the 80:20 read/write ratio and the Gauss access address
distribution on a 2 socket Intel server with Optane DC Persistent
Memory Model. The test results shows that the pmbench score can
improve up to 95.9%.
Thanks Andrew Morton to help fix the document format error.

Patch series "Free the 2nd vmemmap page associated with each HugeTLB
page", v7.
This series can minimize the overhead of struct page for 2MB HugeTLB
pages significantly. It further reduces the overhead of struct page by
12.5% for a 2MB HugeTLB compared to the previous approach, which means
2GB per 1TB HugeTLB. It is a nice gain. Comments and reviews are
welcome. Thanks.
The main implementation and details can refer to the commit log of patch
1. In this series, I have changed the following four helpers, the
following table shows the impact of the overhead of those helpers.
+------------------+-----------------------+
| APIs | head page | tail page |
+------------------+-----------+-----------+
| PageHead() | Y | N |
+------------------+-----------+-----------+
| PageTail() | Y | N |
+------------------+-----------+-----------+
| PageCompound() | N | N |
+------------------+-----------+-----------+
| compound_head() | Y | N |
+------------------+-----------+-----------+
Y: Overhead is increased.
N: Overhead is _NOT_ increased.
It shows that the overhead of those helpers on a tail page don't change
between "hugetlb_free_vmemmap=on" and "hugetlb_free_vmemmap=off". But the
overhead on a head page will be increased when "hugetlb_free_vmemmap=on"
(except PageCompound()). So I believe that Matthew Wilcox's folio series
will help with this.
The users of PageHead() and PageTail() are much less than compound_head()
and most users of PageTail() are VM_BUG_ON(), so I have done some tests
about the overhead of compound_head() on head pages.
I have tested the overhead of calling compound_head() on a head page,
which is 2.11ns (Measure the call time of 10 million times
compound_head(), and then average).
For a head page whose address is not aligned with PAGE_SIZE or a
non-compound page, the overhead of compound_head() is 2.54ns which is
increased by 20%. For a head page whose address is aligned with
PAGE_SIZE, the overhead of compound_head() is 2.97ns which is increased by
40%. Most pages are the former. I do not think the overhead is
significant since the overhead of compound_head() itself is low.
This patch (of 5):
This patch minimizes the overhead of struct page for 2MB HugeTLB pages
significantly. It further reduces the overhead of struct page by 12.5%
for a 2MB HugeTLB compared to the previous approach, which means 2GB per
1TB HugeTLB (2MB type).
After the feature of "Free sonme vmemmap pages of HugeTLB page" is
enabled, the mapping of the vmemmap addresses associated with a 2MB
HugeTLB page becomes the figure below.
HugeTLB struct pages(8 pages) page frame(8 pages)
+-----------+ ---virt_to_page---> +-----------+ mapping to +-----------+---> PG_head
| | | 0 | -------------> | 0 |
| | +-----------+ +-----------+
| | | 1 | -------------> | 1 |
| | +-----------+ +-----------+
| | | 2 | ----------------^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
| | +-----------+ | | | | |
| | | 3 | ------------------+ | | | |
| | +-----------+ | | | |
| | | 4 | --------------------+ | | |
| 2MB | +-----------+ | | |
| | | 5 | ----------------------+ | |
| | +-----------+ | |
| | | 6 | ------------------------+ |
| | +-----------+ |
| | | 7 | --------------------------+
| | +-----------+
| |
| |
| |
+-----------+
As we can see, the 2nd vmemmap page frame (indexed by 1) is reused and
remaped. However, the 2nd vmemmap page frame is also can be freed to
the buddy allocator, then we can change the mapping from the figure
above to the figure below.
HugeTLB struct pages(8 pages) page frame(8 pages)
+-----------+ ---virt_to_page---> +-----------+ mapping to +-----------+---> PG_head

After we do this, all tail vmemmap pages (1-7) are mapped to the head
vmemmap page frame (0). In other words, there are more than one page
struct with PG_head associated with each HugeTLB page. We __know__ that
there is only one head page struct, the tail page structs with PG_head are
fake head page structs. We need an approach to distinguish between those
two different types of page structs so that compound_head(), PageHead()
and PageTail() can work properly if the parameter is the tail page struct
but with PG_head.
The following code snippet describes how to distinguish between real and
fake head page struct.
if (test_bit(PG_head, &page->flags)) {
unsigned long head = READ_ONCE(page[1].compound_head);
if (head & 1) {
if (head == (unsigned long)page + 1)
==> head page struct
else
==> tail page struct
} else
==> head page struct
}
We can safely access the field of the @page[1] with PG_head because the
@page is a compound page composed with at least two contiguous pages.

The allocated inode cache is supposed to be added to its memcg list_lru
which should be allocated as well in advance. That can be done by
kmem_cache_alloc_lru() which allocates object and list_lru. The file
systems is main user of it. So introduce alloc_inode_sb() to allocate
file system specific inodes and set up the inode reclaim context
properly. The file system is supposed to use alloc_inode_sb() to
allocate inodes.
In later patches, we will convert all users to the new API.

During the integration of PREEMPT_RT support, the code flow around
memcg_check_events() resulted in `twisted code'. Moving the code around
and avoiding then would then lead to an additional local-irq-save
section within memcg_check_events(). While looking better, it adds a
local-irq-save section to code flow which is usually within an
local-irq-off block on non-PREEMPT_RT configurations.
The threshold event handler is a deprecated memcg v1 feature. Instead
of trying to get it to work under PREEMPT_RT just disable it. There
should be no users on PREEMPT_RT. From that perspective it makes even
less sense to get it to work under PREEMPT_RT while having zero users.
Make memory.soft_limit_in_bytes and cgroup.event_control return
-EOPNOTSUPP on PREEMPT_RT. Make an empty memcg_check_events() and
memcg_write_event_control() which return only -EOPNOTSUPP on PREEMPT_RT.
Document that the two knobs are disabled on PREEMPT_RT.

Currently memcg stats show several types of kernel memory: kernel stack,
page tables, sock, vmalloc, and slab. However, there are other
allocations with __GFP_ACCOUNT (or supersets such as GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT)
that are not accounted in any of those stats, a few examples are:
- various kvm allocations (e.g. allocated pages to create vcpus)
- io_uring
- tmp_page in pipes during pipe_write()
- bpf ringbuffers
- unix sockets
Keeping track of the total kernel memory is essential for the ease of
migration from cgroup v1 to v2 as there are large discrepancies between
v1's kmem.usage_in_bytes and the sum of the available kernel memory
stats in v2. Adding separate memcg stats for all __GFP_ACCOUNT kernel
allocations is an impractical maintenance burden as there a lot of those
all over the kernel code, with more use cases likely to show up in the
future.
Therefore, add a "kernel" memcg stat that is analogous to kmem page
counter, with added benefits such as using rstat infrastructure which
aggregates stats more efficiently. Additionally, this provides a
lighter alternative in case the legacy kmem is deprecated in the future

Add some "big-picture" documentation for read-ahead and polish the code
to make it fit this documentation.
The meaning of ->async_size is clarified to match its name. i.e. Any
request to ->readahead() has a sync part and an async part. The caller
will wait for the sync pages to complete, but will not wait for the
async pages. The first async page is still marked PG_readahead
Note that the current function names page_cache_sync_ra() and
page_cache_async_ra() are misleading. All ra request are partly sync
and partly async, so either part can be empty. A page_cache_sync_ra()
request will usually set ->async_size non-zero, implying it is not all
synchronous.
When a non-zero req_count is passed to page_cache_async_ra(), the
implication is that some prefix of the request is synchronous, though
the calculation made there is incorrect - I haven't tried to fix it.

This fixes the near-silence of the headphone jack on the ALC256-based
Samsung Galaxy Book Flex Alpha (NP730QCJ). The magic verbs were found
through trial and error, using known ALC298 hacks as inspiration. The
fixup is auto-enabled only when the NP730QCJ is detected. It can be
manually enabled using model=alc256-samsung-headphone.

Pull selinux updates from Paul Moore:
"We've got a number of SELinux patches queued up, the highlights are:
- Fixup the security_fs_context_parse_param() LSM hook so it executes
all of the LSM hook implementations unless a serious error occurs.
We also correct the SELinux hook implementation so that it returns
zero on success.
- In addition to a few SELinux mount option parsing fixes, we
simplified the parsing by moving it earlier in the process.
The logic was that it was unlikely an admin/user would use the new
mount API and not have the policy loaded before passing the SELinux
options.
- Properly fixed the LSM/SELinux/SCTP hooks with the addition of the
security_sctp_assoc_established() hook.
This work was done in conjunction with the netdev folks and should
complete the move of the SCTP labeling from the endpoints to the
associations.
- Fixed a variety of sparse warnings caused by changes in the "__rcu"
markings of some core kernel structures.
- Ensure we access the superblock's LSM security blob using the
stacking-safe accessors.
- Added the ability for the kernel to always allow FIOCLEX and
FIONCLEX if the "ioctl_skip_cloexec" policy capability is
specified.
- Various constifications improvements, type casting improvements,
additional return value checks, and dead code/parameter removal.
- Documentation fixes"

Pull spi updates from Mark Brown:
"The overwhelming bulk of this pull request is a change from Uwe
Kleine-König which changes the return type of the remove() function to
void as part of some wider work he's doing to do this for all bus
types, causing updates to most SPI device drivers. The branch with
that on has been cross merged with a couple of other trees which added
new SPI drivers this cycle, I'm not expecting any build issues
resulting from the change.
Otherwise it's been a relatively quiet release with some new device
support, a few minor features and the welcome completion of the
conversion of the subsystem to use GPIO descriptors rather than
numbers:
- Change return type of remove() to void.
- Completion of the conversion of SPI controller drivers to use GPIO
descriptors rather than numbers.
- Quite a few DT schema conversions.
- Support for multiple SPI devices on a bus in ACPI systems.
- Big overhaul of the PXA2xx SPI driver.

The existing pmu documentation describes the limitation of perf
infrastructure in RISC-V ISA and limited feature set of perf in RISC-V.
However, SBI PMU extension and sscofpmf extension(ISA extension) allows to
implement most of the required features of perf. Remove the old
documentation which is not accurate anymore.

Pull random number generator updates from Jason Donenfeld:
"There have been a few important changes to the RNG's crypto, but the
intent for 5.18 has been to shore up the existing design as much as
possible with modern cryptographic functions and proven constructions,
rather than actually changing up anything fundamental to the RNG's
design.
So it's still the same old RNG at its core as before: it still counts
entropy bits, and collects from the various sources with the same
heuristics as before, and so forth. However, the cryptographic
algorithms that transform that entropic data into safe random numbers
have been modernized.
Just as important, if not more, is that the code has been cleaned up
and re-documented. As one of the first drivers in Linux, going back to
1.3.30, its general style and organization was showing its age and
becoming both a maintenance burden and an auditability impediment.
Hopefully this provides a more solid foundation to build on for the
future. I encourage you to open up the file in full, and maybe you'll
remark, "oh, that's what it's doing," and enjoy reading it. That, at
least, is the eventual goal, which this pull begins working toward.
Here's a summary of the various patches in this pull:
- /dev/urandom and /dev/random now do the same thing, per the patch
we discussed on the list. I think this is worth trying out. If it
does appear problematic, I've made sure to keep it standalone and
revertible without any conflicts.
- Fixes and cleanups for numerous integer type problems, locking
issues, and general code quality concerns.
- The input pool's LFSR has been replaced with a cryptographically
secure hash function, which has security and performance benefits
alike, and consequently allows us to count entropy bits linearly.
- The pre-init injection now uses a real hash function too, instead
of an LFSR or vanilla xor.
- The interrupt handler's fast_mix() function now uses one round of
SipHash, rather than the fake crypto that was there before.
- All additions of RDRAND and RDSEED now go through the input pool's
hash function, in part to mitigate ridiculous hypothetical CPU
backdoors, but more so to have a consistent interface for ingesting
entropy that's easy to analyze, making everything happen one way,
instead of a potpourri of different ways.
- The crng now works on per-cpu data, while also being in accordance
with the actual "fast key erasure RNG" design. This allows us to
fix several boot-time race complications associated with the prior
dynamically allocated model, eliminates much locking, and makes our
backtrack protection more robust.
- Batched entropy now erases doled out values so that it's backtrack
resistant.
- Working closely with Sebastian, the interrupt handler no longer
needs to take any locks at all, as we punt the
synchronized/expensive operations to a workqueue. This is
especially nice for PREEMPT_RT, where taking spinlocks in irq
context is problematic. It also makes the handler faster for the
rest of us.
- Also working with Sebastian, we now do the right thing on CPU
hotplug, so that we don't use stale entropy or fail to accumulate
new entropy when CPUs come back online.
- We handle virtual machines that fork / clone / snapshot, using the
"vmgenid" ACPI specification for retrieving a unique new RNG seed,
which we can use to also make WireGuard (and in the future, other
things) safe across VM forks.
- Around boot time, we now try to reseed more often if enough entropy
is available, before settling on the usual 5 minute schedule.
- Last, but certainly not least, the documentation in the file has
been updated considerably"
