Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:

 - "Add folio_mk_pte()" from Matthew Wilcox simplifies the act of
   creating a pte which addresses the first page in a folio and reduces
   the amount of plumbing which architecture must implement to provide
   this.

 - "Misc folio patches for 6.16" from Matthew Wilcox is a shower of
   largely unrelated folio infrastructure changes which clean things up
   and better prepare us for future work.

 - "memory,x86,acpi: hotplug memory alignment advisement" from Gregory
   Price adds early-init code to prevent x86 from leaving physical
   memory unused when physical address regions are not aligned to memory
   block size.

 - "mm/compaction: allow more aggressive proactive compaction" from
   Michal Clapinski provides some tuning of the (sadly, hard-coded (more
   sadly, not auto-tuned)) thresholds for our invokation of proactive
   compaction. In a simple test case, the reduction of a guest VM's
   memory consumption was dramatic.

 - "Minor cleanups and improvements to swap freeing code" from Kemeng
   Shi provides some code cleaups and a small efficiency improvement to
   this part of our swap handling code.

 - "ptrace: introduce PTRACE_SET_SYSCALL_INFO API" from Dmitry Levin
   adds the ability for a ptracer to modify syscalls arguments. At this
   time we can alter only "system call information that are used by
   strace system call tampering, namely, syscall number, syscall
   arguments, and syscall return value.

   This series should have been incorporated into mm.git's "non-MM"
   branch, but I goofed.

 - "fs/proc: extend the PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl to report guard regions" from
   Andrei Vagin extends the info returned by the PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl
   against /proc/pid/pagemap. This permits CRIU to more efficiently get
   at the info about guard regions.

 - "Fix parameter passed to page_mapcount_is_type()" from Gavin Shan
   implements that fix. No runtime effect is expected because
   validate_page_before_insert() happens to fix up this error.

 - "kernel/events/uprobes: uprobe_write_opcode() rewrite" from David
   Hildenbrand basically brings uprobe text poking into the current
   decade. Remove a bunch of hand-rolled implementation in favor of
   using more current facilities.

 - "mm/ptdump: Drop assumption that pxd_val() is u64" from Anshuman
   Khandual provides enhancements and generalizations to the pte dumping
   code. This might be needed when 128-bit Page Table Descriptors are
   enabled for ARM.

 - "Always call constructor for kernel page tables" from Kevin Brodsky
   ensures that the ctor/dtor is always called for kernel pgtables, as
   it already is for user pgtables.

   This permits the addition of more functionality such as "insert hooks
   to protect page tables". This change does result in various
   architectures performing unnecesary work, but this is fixed up where
   it is anticipated to occur.

 - "Rust support for mm_struct, vm_area_struct, and mmap" from Alice
   Ryhl adds plumbing to permit Rust access to core MM structures.

 - "fix incorrectly disallowed anonymous VMA merges" from Lorenzo
   Stoakes takes advantage of some VMA merging opportunities which we've
   been missing for 15 years.

 - "mm/madvise: batch tlb flushes for MADV_DONTNEED and MADV_FREE" from
   SeongJae Park optimizes process_madvise()'s TLB flushing.

   Instead of flushing each address range in the provided iovec, we
   batch the flushing across all the iovec entries. The syscall's cost
   was approximately halved with a microbenchmark which was designed to
   load this particular operation.

 - "Track node vacancy to reduce worst case allocation counts" from
   Sidhartha Kumar makes the maple tree smarter about its node
   preallocation.

   stress-ng mmap performance increased by single-digit percentages and
   the amount of unnecessarily preallocated memory was dramaticelly
   reduced.

 - "mm/gup: Minor fix, cleanup and improvements" from Baoquan He removes
   a few unnecessary things which Baoquan noted when reading the code.

 - ""Enhance sysfs handling for memory hotplug in weighted interleave"
   from Rakie Kim "enhances the weighted interleave policy in the memory
   management subsystem by improving sysfs handling, fixing memory
   leaks, and introducing dynamic sysfs updates for memory hotplug
   support". Fixes things on error paths which we are unlikely to hit.

 - "mm/damon: auto-tune DAMOS for NUMA setups including tiered memory"
   from SeongJae Park introduces new DAMOS quota goal metrics which
   eliminate the manual tuning which is required when utilizing DAMON
   for memory tiering.

 - "mm/vmalloc.c: code cleanup and improvements" from Baoquan He
   provides cleanups and small efficiency improvements which Baoquan
   found via code inspection.

 - "vmscan: enforce mems_effective during demotion" from Gregory Price
   changes reclaim to respect cpuset.mems_effective during demotion when
   possible. because presently, reclaim explicitly ignores
   cpuset.mems_effective when demoting, which may cause the cpuset
   settings to violated.

   This is useful for isolating workloads on a multi-tenant system from
   certain classes of memory more consistently.

 - "Clean up split_huge_pmd_locked() and remove unnecessary folio
   pointers" from Gavin Guo provides minor cleanups and efficiency gains
   in in the huge page splitting and migrating code.

 - "Use kmem_cache for memcg alloc" from Huan Yang creates a slab cache
   for `struct mem_cgroup', yielding improved memory utilization.

 - "add max arg to swappiness in memory.reclaim and lru_gen" from
   Zhongkun He adds a new "max" argument to the "swappiness=" argument
   for memory.reclaim MGLRU's lru_gen.

   This directs proactive reclaim to reclaim from only anon folios
   rather than file-backed folios.

 - "kexec: introduce Kexec HandOver (KHO)" from Mike Rapoport is the
   first step on the path to permitting the kernel to maintain existing
   VMs while replacing the host kernel via file-based kexec. At this
   time only memblock's reserve_mem is preserved.

 - "mm: Introduce for_each_valid_pfn()" from David Woodhouse provides
   and uses a smarter way of looping over a pfn range. By skipping
   ranges of invalid pfns.

 - "sched/numa: Skip VMA scanning on memory pinned to one NUMA node via
   cpuset.mems" from Libo Chen removes a lot of pointless VMA scanning
   when a task is pinned a single NUMA mode.

   Dramatic performance benefits were seen in some real world cases.

 - "JFS: Implement migrate_folio for jfs_metapage_aops" from Shivank
   Garg addresses a warning which occurs during memory compaction when
   using JFS.

 - "move all VMA allocation, freeing and duplication logic to mm" from
   Lorenzo Stoakes moves some VMA code from kernel/fork.c into the more
   appropriate mm/vma.c.

 - "mm, swap: clean up swap cache mapping helper" from Kairui Song
   provides code consolidation and cleanups related to the folio_index()
   function.

 - "mm/gup: Cleanup memfd_pin_folios()" from Vishal Moola does that.

 - "memcg: Fix test_memcg_min/low test failures" from Waiman Long
   addresses some bogus failures which are being reported by the
   test_memcontrol selftest.

 - "eliminate mmap() retry merge, add .mmap_prepare hook" from Lorenzo
   Stoakes commences the deprecation of file_operations.mmap() in favor
   of the new file_operations.mmap_prepare().

   The latter is more restrictive and prevents drivers from messing with
   things in ways which, amongst other problems, may defeat VMA merging.

 - "memcg: decouple memcg and objcg stocks"" from Shakeel Butt decouples
   the per-cpu memcg charge cache from the objcg's one.

   This is a step along the way to making memcg and objcg charging
   NMI-safe, which is a BPF requirement.

 - "mm/damon: minor fixups and improvements for code, tests, and
   documents" from SeongJae Park is yet another batch of miscellaneous
   DAMON changes. Fix and improve minor problems in code, tests and
   documents.

 - "memcg: make memcg stats irq safe" from Shakeel Butt converts memcg
   stats to be irq safe. Another step along the way to making memcg
   charging and stats updates NMI-safe, a BPF requirement.

 - "Let unmap_hugepage_range() and several related functions take folio
   instead of page" from Fan Ni provides folio conversions in the
   hugetlb code.

* tag 'mm-stable-2025-05-31-14-50' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm: (285 commits)

Implement a sample DAMON module that shows how self-tuned DAMON-based
memory tiering can be written.  It is a sample since the purpose is to
give an idea about how it can be implemented and perform, rather than be
used on general production setups.  Especially, it supports only two tiers
memory setup having only one CPU-attached NUMA node.

<title>tsm-mr: Add tsm-mr sample code</title>

<id>f6953f1f9ec4ad68651d7c677f0c065cb4c1edf7</id>
<content type='text'>
This sample kernel module demonstrates how to make MRs accessible to user
mode through the tsm-mr library.

Once loaded, this module registers a `miscdevice` that host a set of
emulated measurement registers as shown in the directory tree below.

/sys/class/misc/tsm_mr_sample
└── measurements
    ├── config_mr
    ├── report_digest:sha512
    ├── rtmr0:sha256
    ├── rtmr1:sha384
    ├── rtmr_crypto_agile:sha256
    ├── rtmr_crypto_agile:sha384
    └── static_mr:sha384

Among the MRs in this example:

- `config_mr` demonstrates a hashless MR, like MRCONFIGID in Intel TDX or
  HOSTDATA in AMD SEV.
- `static_mr` demonstrates a static MR. The suffix `:sha384` indicates its
  value is a sha384 digest.
- `rtmr0` is an RTMR with `TSM_MR_F_WRITABLE` **cleared**, preventing
  direct extensions; as a result, the attribute `rtmr0:sha256` is
  read-only.
- `rtmr1` is an RTMR with `TSM_MR_F_WRITABLE` **set**, permitting direct
  extensions; thus, the attribute `rtmr1:sha384` is writable.
- `rtmr_crypto_agile` demonstrates a "single" MR that supports multiple
  hash algorithms. Each supported algorithm has a corresponding digest,
  usually referred to as a "bank" in TCG terminology. In this specific
  sample, the 2 banks are aliased to `rtmr0` and `rtmr1`, respectively.
- `report_digest` contains the digest of the internal report structure
  living in this sample module's memory. It is to demonstrate the use of
  the `TSM_MR_F_LIVE` flag. Its value changes each time an RTMR is
  extended.

- `config_mr` demonstrates a hashless MR, like MRCONFIGID in Intel TDX or
  HOSTDATA in AMD SEV.
- `static_mr` demonstrates a static MR. The suffix `:sha384` indicates its
  value is a sha384 digest.
- `rtmr0` is an RTMR with `TSM_MR_F_WRITABLE` **cleared**, preventing
  direct extensions; as a result, the attribute `rtmr0:sha256` is
  read-only.
- `rtmr1` is an RTMR with `TSM_MR_F_WRITABLE` **set**, permitting direct
  extensions; thus, the attribute `rtmr1:sha384` is writable.
- `rtmr_crypto_agile` demonstrates a "single" MR that supports multiple
  hash algorithms. Each supported algorithm has a corresponding digest,
  usually referred to as a "bank" in TCG terminology. In this specific
  sample, the 2 banks are aliased to `rtmr0` and `rtmr1`, respectively.
- `report_digest` contains the digest of the internal report structure
  living in this sample module's memory. It is to demonstrate the use of
  the `TSM_MR_F_LIVE` flag. Its value changes each time an RTMR is
  extended.

<content type='text'>
Add a hung_task detector mutex blocking test sample code.

This module will create a dummy file on the debugfs.  That file will cause
the read process to sleep for enough long time (256 seconds) while holding
a mutex.  As a result, the second process will wait on the mutex for a
prolonged duration and be detected by the hung_task detector.

Usage is;

 &gt; cd /sys/kernel/debug/hung_task
 &gt; cat mutex &amp; cat mutex

and wait for hung_task message.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
 "The various patchsets are summarized below. Plus of course many
  indivudual patches which are described in their changelogs.

   - "Allocate and free frozen pages" from Matthew Wilcox reorganizes
     the page allocator so we end up with the ability to allocate and
     free zero-refcount pages. So that callers (ie, slab) can avoid a
     refcount inc &amp; dec

   - "Support large folios for tmpfs" from Baolin Wang teaches tmpfs to
     use large folios other than PMD-sized ones

     addresses an issue where "huge" amounts of pte pagetables are
     accumulated:

       https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/cover.1718267194.git.zhengqi.arch@bytedance.com/

     Qi's series addresses this windup by synchronously freeing PTE
     memory within the context of madvise(MADV_DONTNEED)

     has several fixes and cleaups for zram in the area of
     zram_write_page(). A watchdog softlockup warning was eliminated

   - "move pagetable_*_dtor() to __tlb_remove_table()" from Kevin
     Brodsky cleans up the pagetable destructor implementations. A rare
     use-after-free race is fixed

   - "mm/debug: introduce and use VM_WARN_ON_VMG()" from Lorenzo Stoakes
     simplifies and cleans up the debugging code in the VMA merging
     logic

   - "Account page tables at all levels" from Kevin Brodsky cleans up
     and regularizes the pagetable ctor/dtor handling. This results in
     improvements in accounting accuracy

     overlaps with struct page for now. This is part of the effort to
     reduce the size of struct page and to enable dynamic allocation of
     memory descriptors

   - "mm, swap: rework of swap allocator locks" from Kairui Song redoes
     and simplifies the swap allocator locking. A speedup of 400% was

DAMON is not only for monitoring of access patterns, but also for
access-aware system operations.  For the system operations, DAMON provides
a feature called DAMOS (Data Access Monitoring-based Operation Schemes). 
There is no sample API usage of DAMOS, though.  Copy the working set size
estimation sample modules with changed names of the module and symbols, to
use it as a skeleton for a sample module showing the DAMOS API usage.  The
following commit will make it proactively reclaim cold memory of the given
process, using DAMOS.

Patch series "mm/damon: add sample modules".

Implement a proactive cold memory regions reclaiming logic of prcl sample
module using DAMOS.  The logic treats memory regions that not accessed at
all for five or more seconds as cold, and reclaim those as soon as found.


This patch (of 5):

Add a skeleton for a sample DAMON static module that can be used for
estimating working set size of a given process.  Note that it is a static
module since DAMON is not exporting symbols to loadable modules for now. 
It exposes two module parameters, namely 'pid' and 'enable'.  'pid' will
specify the process that the module will estimate the working set size of.
'enable' will receive whether to start or stop the estimation.  Because
this is just a skeleton, the parameters do nothing, though.  The
functionalities will be implemented by following commits.

Patch series "mm/damon: add sample modules".

Implement a proactive cold memory regions reclaiming logic of prcl sample
module using DAMOS.  The logic treats memory regions that not accessed at
all for five or more seconds as cold, and reclaim those as soon as found.

Add a simple tool to set SECBIT_EXEC_RESTRICT_FILE or
SECBIT_EXEC_DENY_INTERACTIVE before executing a command.  This is useful
to easily test against enlighten script interpreters.

Patch series "samples: introduce cgroup events listeners", v3.

To begin with, this patch series relocates the cgroup example code to the
samples/cgroup directory, which is the appropriate location for such code
snippets.

Furthermore, a new memcg events listener is introduced.  This listener is
a simple yet effective tool for monitoring memory events and managing
counter changes during runtime.

Additionally, as per Andrew Morton's suggestion, a helpful reminder
comment is included in the memcontrol implementation.  This comment serves
to ensure that the samples code is updated whenever new events are added.


This patch (of 3):

Move the cgroup_event_listener for cgroup v1 to the samples directory. 
This suggestion was proposed by Andrew Morton during the discussion [1].
