Currently the UAPI headers are always installed into the source directory.
When building out-of-tree this doesn't work, as the include path will be
wrong and it dirties the source tree, leading to complains by kbuild.

Make sure the 'headers' target installs the UAPI headers in the correctly.

The real target directory can come from multiple places. To handle them all
extract the target directory from KHDR_INCLUDES.

Some selftests need access to a full UAPI headers tree, for example when
building with nolibc which heavily relies on UAPI headers.
A reference to such a tree is available in the KHDR_INCLUDES variable,
but there is currently no way to populate such a tree automatically.

Provide a target that the tests can depend on to get access to usable
UAPI headers.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:

 - In the series "mm: Avoid possible overflows in dirty throttling" Jan
   Kara addresses a couple of issues in the writeback throttling code.
   These fixes are also targetted at -stable kernels.

 - Ryusuke Konishi's series "nilfs2: fix potential issues related to
   reserved inodes" does that. This should actually be in the
   mm-nonmm-stable tree, along with the many other nilfs2 patches. My
   bad.

 - More folio conversions from Kefeng Wang in the series "mm: convert to
   folio_alloc_mpol()"

 - Kemeng Shi has sent some cleanups to the writeback code in the series
   "Add helper functions to remove repeated code and improve readability
   of cgroup writeback"

 - Kairui Song has made the swap code a little smaller and a little
   faster in the series "mm/swap: clean up and optimize swap cache
   index".

 - In the series "mm/memory: cleanly support zeropage in
   vm_insert_page*(), vm_map_pages*() and vmf_insert_mixed()" David
   Hildenbrand has reworked the rather sketchy handling of the use of
   the zeropage in MAP_SHARED mappings. I don't see any runtime effects
   here - more a cleanup/understandability/maintainablity thing.

 - Dev Jain has improved selftests/mm/va_high_addr_switch.c's handling
   of higher addresses, for aarch64. The (poorly named) series is
   "Restructure va_high_addr_switch".

 - The core TLB handling code gets some cleanups and possible slight
   optimizations in Bang Li's series "Add update_mmu_tlb_range() to
   simplify code".

 - Jane Chu has improved the handling of our
   fake-an-unrecoverable-memory-error testing feature MADV_HWPOISON in
   the series "Enhance soft hwpoison handling and injection".

 - Jeff Johnson has sent a billion patches everywhere to add
   MODULE_DESCRIPTION() to everything. Some landed in this pull.

 - In the series "mm: cleanup MIGRATE_SYNC_NO_COPY mode", Kefeng Wang
   has simplified migration's use of hardware-offload memory copying.

 - Yosry Ahmed performs more folio API conversions in his series "mm:
   zswap: trivial folio conversions".

 - In the series "large folios swap-in: handle refault cases first",
   Chuanhua Han inches us forward in the handling of large pages in the
   swap code. This is a cleanup and optimization, working toward the end
   objective of full support of large folio swapin/out.

 - In the series "mm,swap: cleanup VMA based swap readahead window
   calculation", Huang Ying has contributed some cleanups and a possible
   fixlet to his VMA based swap readahead code.

 - In the series "add mTHP support for anonymous shmem" Baolin Wang has
   taught anonymous shmem mappings to use multisize THP. By default this
   is a no-op - users must opt in vis sysfs controls. Dramatic
   improvements in pagefault latency are realized.

 - David Hildenbrand has some cleanups to our remaining use of
   page_mapcount() in the series "fs/proc: move page_mapcount() to
   fs/proc/internal.h".

 - David also has some highmem accounting cleanups in the series
   "mm/highmem: don't track highmem pages manually".

 - Build-time fixes and cleanups from John Hubbard in the series
   "cleanups, fixes, and progress towards avoiding "make headers"".

 - Cleanups and consolidation of the core pagemap handling from Barry
   Song in the series "mm: introduce pmd|pte_needs_soft_dirty_wp helpers
   and utilize them".

 - Lance Yang's series "Reclaim lazyfree THP without splitting" has
   reduced the latency of the reclaim of pmd-mapped THPs under fairly
   common circumstances. A 10x speedup is seen in a microbenchmark.

   It does this by punting to aother CPU but I guess that's a win unless
   all CPUs are pegged.

 - hugetlb_cgroup cleanups from Xiu Jianfeng in the series
   "mm/hugetlb_cgroup: rework on cftypes".

 - Miaohe Lin's series "Some cleanups for memory-failure" does just that
   thing.

 - Someone other than SeongJae has developed a DAMON feature in Honggyu
   Kim's series "DAMON based tiered memory management for CXL memory".
   This adds DAMON features which may be used to help determine the
   efficiency of our placement of CXL/PCIe attached DRAM.

 - DAMON user API centralization and simplificatio work in SeongJae
   Park's series "mm/damon: introduce DAMON parameters online commit
   function".

 - In the series "mm: page_type, zsmalloc and page_mapcount_reset()"
   David Hildenbrand does some maintenance work on zsmalloc - partially
   modernizing its use of pageframe fields.

 - Kefeng Wang provides more folio conversions in the series "mm: remove
   page_maybe_dma_pinned() and page_mkclean()".

 - More cleanup from David Hildenbrand, this time in the series
   "mm/memory_hotplug: use PageOffline() instead of PageReserved() for
   !ZONE_DEVICE". It "enlightens memory hotplug more about PageOffline()
   pages" and permits the removal of some virtio-mem hacks.

 - Barry Song's series "mm: clarify folio_add_new_anon_rmap() and
   __folio_add_anon_rmap()" is a cleanup to the anon folio handling in
   preparation for mTHP (multisize THP) swapin.

 - Kefeng Wang's series "mm: improve clear and copy user folio"
   implements more folio conversions, this time in the area of large
   folio userspace copying.

 - The series "Docs/mm/damon/maintaier-profile: document a mailing tool
   and community meetup series" tells people how to get better involved
   with other DAMON developers. From SeongJae Park.

 - A large series ("kmsan: Enable on s390") from Ilya Leoshkevich does
   that.

 - David Hildenbrand sends along more cleanups, this time against the
   migration code. The series is "mm/migrate: move NUMA hinting fault
   folio isolation + checks under PTL".

 - Jan Kara has found quite a lot of strangenesses and minor errors in
   the readahead code. He addresses this in the series "mm: Fix various
   readahead quirks".

 - SeongJae Park's series "selftests/damon: test DAMOS tried regions and
   {min,max}_nr_regions" adds features and addresses errors in DAMON's
   self testing code.

 - Gavin Shan has found a userspace-triggerable WARN in the pagecache
   code. The series "mm/filemap: Limit page cache size to that supported
   by xarray" addresses this. The series is marked cc:stable.

 - Chengming Zhou's series "mm/ksm: cmp_and_merge_page() optimizations
   and cleanup" cleans up and slightly optimizes KSM.

 - Roman Gushchin has separated the memcg-v1 and memcg-v2 code - lots of
   code motion. The series (which also makes the memcg-v1 code
   Kconfigurable) are "mm: memcg: separate legacy cgroup v1 code and put
   under config option" and "mm: memcg: put cgroup v1-specific memcg
   data under CONFIG_MEMCG_V1"

 - Dan Schatzberg's series "Add swappiness argument to memory.reclaim"
   adds an additional feature to this cgroup-v2 control file.

 - The series "Userspace controls soft-offline pages" from Jiaqi Yan
   permits userspace to stop the kernel's automatic treatment of
   excessive correctable memory errors. In order to permit userspace to
   monitor and handle this situation.

 - Kefeng Wang's series "mm: migrate: support poison recover from
   migrate folio" teaches the kernel to appropriately handle migration
   from poisoned source folios rather than simply panicing.

 - SeongJae Park's series "Docs/damon: minor fixups and improvements"
   does those things.

 - In the series "mm/zsmalloc: change back to per-size_class lock"
   Chengming Zhou improves zsmalloc's scalability and memory
   utilization.

 - Vivek Kasireddy's series "mm/gup: Introduce memfd_pin_folios() for
   pinning memfd folios" makes the GUP code use FOLL_PIN rather than
   bare refcount increments. So these paes can first be moved aside if
   they reside in the movable zone or a CMA block.

 - Andrii Nakryiko has added a binary ioctl()-based API to
   /proc/pid/maps for much faster reading of vma information. The series
   is "query VMAs from /proc/&lt;pid&gt;/maps".

 - In the series "mm: introduce per-order mTHP split counters" Lance
   Yang improves the kernel's presentation of developer information
   related to multisize THP splitting.

 - Michael Ellerman has developed the series "Reimplement huge pages
   without hugepd on powerpc (8xx, e500, book3s/64)". This permits
   userspace to use all available huge page sizes.

 - In the series "revert unconditional slab and page allocator fault
   injection calls" Vlastimil Babka removes a performance-affecting and
   not very useful feature from slab fault injection.

gcc defaults to silence (off) for the following warnings, but clang
defaults to the opposite. The warnings are not useful for the kernel
itself, which is why they have remained disabled in gcc for the main
kernel build. And it is only due to including kernel data structures in
the selftests, that we get the warnings from clang.

    -Waddress-of-packed-member
    -Wgnu-variable-sized-type-not-at-end

In other words, the warnings are not unique to the selftests: there is
nothing that the selftests' code does that triggers these warnings,
other than the act of including the kernel's data structures. Therefore,
silence them for the clang builds as well.

This eliminates warnings for the net/ and user_events/ kselftest
subsystems, in these files:

    ./net/af_unix/scm_rights.c
    ./net/timestamping.c
    ./net/ipsec.c
    ./user_events/perf_test.c

<title>selftests: centralize -D_GNU_SOURCE= to CFLAGS in lib.mk</title>

Centralize the _GNU_SOURCE definition to CFLAGS in lib.mk.  Remove
redundant defines from Makefiles that import lib.mk.  Convert any usage of
"#define _GNU_SOURCE 1" to "#define _GNU_SOURCE".

This uses the form "-D_GNU_SOURCE=", which is equivalent to
"#define _GNU_SOURCE".

Otherwise using "-D_GNU_SOURCE" is equivalent to "-D_GNU_SOURCE=1" and
"#define _GNU_SOURCE 1", which is less commonly seen in source code and
would require many changes in selftests to avoid redefinition warnings.

Pull mm updates from Andrew Morton:
 "The usual shower of singleton fixes and minor series all over MM,
  documented (hopefully adequately) in the respective changelogs.
  Notable series include:

   - Lucas Stach has provided some page-mapping cleanup/consolidation/
     maintainability work in the series "mm/treewide: Remove pXd_huge()
     API".

   - In the series "Allow migrate on protnone reference with
     MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY policy", Donet Tom has optimized mempolicy's
     MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY mode, yielding almost doubled performance in
     one test.

   - In their series "Memory allocation profiling" Kent Overstreet and
     Suren Baghdasaryan have contributed a means of determining (via
     /proc/allocinfo) whereabouts in the kernel memory is being
     allocated: number of calls and amount of memory.

   - Matthew Wilcox has provided the series "Various significant MM
     patches" which does a number of rather unrelated things, but in
     largely similar code sites.

   - In his series "mm: page_alloc: freelist migratetype hygiene"
     Johannes Weiner has fixed the page allocator's handling of
     migratetype requests, with resulting improvements in compaction
     efficiency.

   - In the series "make the hugetlb migration strategy consistent"
     Baolin Wang has fixed a hugetlb migration issue, which should
     improve hugetlb allocation reliability.

   - Liu Shixin has hit an I/O meltdown caused by readahead in a
     memory-tight memcg. Addressed in the series "Fix I/O high when
     memory almost met memcg limit".

   - In the series "mm/filemap: optimize folio adding and splitting"
     Kairui Song has optimized pagecache insertion, yielding ~10%
     performance improvement in one test.

   - Baoquan He has cleaned up and consolidated the early zone
     initialization code in the series "mm/mm_init.c: refactor
     free_area_init_core()".

   - Baoquan has also redone some MM initializatio code in the series
     "mm/init: minor clean up and improvement".

   - MM helper cleanups from Christoph Hellwig in his series "remove
     follow_pfn".

   - More cleanups from Matthew Wilcox in the series "Various
     page-&gt;flags cleanups".

   - Vlastimil Babka has contributed maintainability improvements in the
     series "memcg_kmem hooks refactoring".

   - More folio conversions and cleanups in Matthew Wilcox's series:
	"Convert huge_zero_page to huge_zero_folio"
	"khugepaged folio conversions"
	"Remove page_idle and page_young wrappers"
	"Use folio APIs in procfs"
	"Clean up __folio_put()"
	"Some cleanups for memory-failure"
	"Remove page_mapping()"
	"More folio compat code removal"

   - David Hildenbrand chipped in with "fs/proc/task_mmu: convert
     hugetlb functions to work on folis".

   - Code consolidation and cleanup work related to GUP's handling of
     hugetlbs in Peter Xu's series "mm/gup: Unify hugetlb, part 2".

   - Rick Edgecombe has developed some fixes to stack guard gaps in the
     series "Cover a guard gap corner case".

   - Jinjiang Tu has fixed KSM's behaviour after a fork+exec in the
     series "mm/ksm: fix ksm exec support for prctl".

   - Baolin Wang has implemented NUMA balancing for multi-size THPs.
     This is a simple first-cut implementation for now. The series is
     "support multi-size THP numa balancing".

   - Cleanups to vma handling helper functions from Matthew Wilcox in
     the series "Unify vma_address and vma_pgoff_address".

   - Some selftests maintenance work from Dev Jain in the series
     "selftests/mm: mremap_test: Optimizations and style fixes".

   - Improvements to the swapping of multi-size THPs from Ryan Roberts
     in the series "Swap-out mTHP without splitting".

   - Kefeng Wang has significantly optimized the handling of arm64's
     permission page faults in the series
	"arch/mm/fault: accelerate pagefault when badaccess"
	"mm: remove arch's private VM_FAULT_BADMAP/BADACCESS"

   - GUP cleanups from David Hildenbrand in "mm/gup: consistently call
     it GUP-fast".

   - hugetlb fault code cleanups from Vishal Moola in "Hugetlb fault
     path to use struct vm_fault".

   - selftests build fixes from John Hubbard in the series "Fix
     selftests/mm build without requiring "make headers"".

   - Memory tiering fixes/improvements from Ho-Ren (Jack) Chuang in the
     series "Improved Memory Tier Creation for CPUless NUMA Nodes".
     Fixes the initialization code so that migration between different
     memory types works as intended.

   - David Hildenbrand has improved follow_pte() and fixed an errant
     driver in the series "mm: follow_pte() improvements and acrn
     follow_pte() fixes".

   - David also did some cleanup work on large folio mapcounts in his
     series "mm: mapcount for large folios + page_mapcount() cleanups".

   - Folio conversions in KSM in Alex Shi's series "transfer page to
     folio in KSM".

   - Barry Song has added some sysfs stats for monitoring multi-size
     THP's in the series "mm: add per-order mTHP alloc and swpout
     counters".

   - Some zswap cleanups from Yosry Ahmed in the series "zswap
     same-filled and limit checking cleanups".

   - Matthew Wilcox has been looking at buffer_head code and found the
     documentation to be lacking. The series is "Improve buffer head
     documentation".

   - Multi-size THPs get more work, this time from Lance Yang. His
     series "mm/madvise: enhance lazyfreeing with mTHP in madvise_free"
     optimizes the freeing of these things.

   - Kemeng Shi has added more userspace-visible writeback
     instrumentation in the series "Improve visibility of writeback".

   - Kemeng Shi then sent some maintenance work on top in the series
     "Fix and cleanups to page-writeback".

   - Matthew Wilcox reduces mmap_lock traffic in the anon vma code in
     the series "Improve anon_vma scalability for anon VMAs". Intel's
     test bot reported an improbable 3x improvement in one test.

   - SeongJae Park adds some DAMON feature work in the series
	"mm/damon: add a DAMOS filter type for page granularity access recheck"
	"selftests/damon: add DAMOS quota goal test"

   - Also some maintenance work in the series
	"mm/damon/paddr: simplify page level access re-check for pageout"
	"mm/damon: misc fixes and improvements"

   - David Hildenbrand has disabled some known-to-fail selftests ni the
     series "selftests: mm: cow: flag vmsplice() hugetlb tests as
     XFAIL".

   - memcg metadata storage optimizations from Shakeel Butt in "memcg:
     reduce memory consumption by memcg stats".

   - DAX fixes and maintenance work from Vishal Verma in the series
     "dax/bus.c: Fixups for dax-bus locking""

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
 "Core &amp; protocols:

   - Complete rework of garbage collection of AF_UNIX sockets.

     AF_UNIX is prone to forming reference count cycles due to fd
     passing functionality. New method based on Tarjan's Strongly
     Connected Components algorithm should be both faster and remove a
     lot of workarounds we accumulated over the years.

   - Add TCP fraglist GRO support, allowing chaining multiple TCP
     packets and forwarding them together. Useful for small switches /
     routers which lack basic checksum offload in some scenarios (e.g.
     PPPoE).

   - Support using SMP threads for handling packet backlog i.e. packet
     processing from software interfaces and old drivers which don't use
     NAPI. This helps move the processing out of the softirq jumble.

   - Continue work of converting from rtnl lock to RCU protection.

     Don't require rtnl lock when reading: IPv6 routing FIB, IPv6
     address labels, netdev threaded NAPI sysfs files, bonding driver's
     sysfs files, MPLS devconf, IPv4 FIB rules, netns IDs, tcp metrics,
     TC Qdiscs, neighbor entries, ARP entries via ioctl(SIOCGARP), a lot
     of the link information available via rtnetlink.

   - Small optimizations from Eric to UDP wake up handling, memory
     accounting, RPS/RFS implementation, TCP packet sizing etc.

   - Allow direct page recycling in the bulk API used by XDP, for +2%
     PPS.

   - Support peek with an offset on TCP sockets.

   - Add MPTCP APIs for querying last time packets were received/sent/acked
     and whether MPTCP "upgrade" succeeded on a TCP socket.

   - Add intra-node communication shortcut to improve SMC performance.

   - Add IPv6 (and IPv{4,6}-over-IPv{4,6}) support to the GTP protocol
     driver.

   - Add HSR-SAN (RedBOX) mode of operation to the HSR protocol driver.

   - Add reset reasons for tracing what caused a TCP reset to be sent.

   - Introduce direction attribute for xfrm (IPSec) states. State can be
     used either for input or output packet processing.

  Things we sprinkled into general kernel code:

   - Add bitmap_{read,write}(), bitmap_size(), expose BYTES_TO_BITS().

     This required touch-ups and renaming of a few existing users.

   - Add Endian-dependent __counted_by_{le,be} annotations.

   - Make building selftests "quieter" by printing summaries like
     "CC object.o" rather than full commands with all the arguments.

  Netfilter:

   - Use GFP_KERNEL to clone elements, to deal better with OOM
     situations and avoid failures in the .commit step.

  BPF:

   - Add eBPF JIT for ARCv2 CPUs.

   - Support attaching kprobe BPF programs through kprobe_multi link in
     a session mode, meaning, a BPF program is attached to both function
     entry and return, the entry program can decide if the return
     program gets executed and the entry program can share u64 cookie
     value with return program. "Session mode" is a common use-case for
     tetragon and bpftrace.

   - Add the ability to specify and retrieve BPF cookie for raw
     tracepoint programs in order to ease migration from classic to raw
     tracepoints.

   - Add an internal-only BPF per-CPU instruction for resolving per-CPU
     memory addresses and implement support in x86, ARM64 and RISC-V
     JITs. This allows inlining functions which need to access per-CPU
     state.

   - Optimize x86 BPF JIT's emit_mov_imm64, and add support for various
     atomics in bpf_arena which can be JITed as a single x86
     instruction. Support BPF arena on ARM64.

   - Add a new bpf_wq API for deferring events and refactor
     process-context bpf_timer code to keep common code where possible.

   - Harden the BPF verifier's and/or/xor value tracking.

   - Introduce crypto kfuncs to let BPF programs call kernel crypto
     APIs.

   - Support bpf_tail_call_static() helper for BPF programs with GCC 13.

   - Add bpf_preempt_{disable,enable}() kfuncs in order to allow a BPF
     program to have code sections where preemption is disabled.

  Driver API:

   - Skip software TC processing completely if all installed rules are
     marked as HW-only, instead of checking the HW-only flag rule by
     rule.

   - Add support for configuring PoE (Power over Ethernet), similar to
     the already existing support for PoDL (Power over Data Line)
     config.

   - Initial bits of a queue control API, for now allowing a single
     queue to be reset without disturbing packet flow to other queues.

   - Common (ethtool) statistics for hardware timestamping.

  Tests and tooling:

   - Remove the need to create a config file to run the net forwarding
     tests so that a naive "make run_tests" can exercise them.

   - Define a method of writing tests which require an external endpoint
     to communicate with (to send/receive data towards the test
     machine). Add a few such tests.

   - Create a shared code library for writing Python tests. Expose the
     YAML Netlink library from tools/ to the tests for easy Netlink
     access.

   - Move netfilter tests under net/, extend them, separate performance
     tests from correctness tests, and iron out issues found by running
     them "on every commit".

   - Refactor BPF selftests to use common network helpers.

   - Further work filling in YAML definitions of Netlink messages for:
     nftables, team driver, bonding interfaces, vlan interfaces, VF
     info, TC u32 mark, TC police action.

   - Teach Python YAML Netlink to decode attribute policies.

   - Extend the definition of the "indexed array" construct in the specs
     to cover arrays of scalars rather than just nests.

   - Add hyperlinks between definitions in generated Netlink docs.

  Drivers:

   - Make sure unsupported flower control flags are rejected by drivers,
     and make more drivers report errors directly to the application
     rather than dmesg (large number of driver changes from Asbjørn
     Sloth Tønnesen).

   - Ethernet high-speed NICs:
      - Broadcom (bnxt):
