    Linus Torvalds authored
    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 >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.
