Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:

 - "mm, swap: improve cluster scan strategy" from Kairui Song improves
   performance and reduces the failure rate of swap cluster allocation

 - "support large align and nid in Rust allocators" from Vitaly Wool
   permits Rust allocators to set NUMA node and large alignment when
   perforning slub and vmalloc reallocs

   DAMOS_STAT's handling of the DAMON operations sets for virtual
   address spaces for ops-level DAMOS filters

 - "execute PROCMAP_QUERY ioctl under per-vma lock" from Suren
   Baghdasaryan reduces mmap_lock contention during reads of
   /proc/pid/maps

   performs some cleanup in the swap code

 - "mm: vm_normal_page*() improvements" from David Hildenbrand provides
   code cleanup in the pagemap code

 - "add persistent huge zero folio support" from Pankaj Raghav provides
   a block layer speedup by optionalls making the
   huge_zero_pagepersistent, instead of releasing it when its refcount
   falls to zero

 - "kho: fixes and cleanups" from Mike Rapoport adds a few touchups to
   the recently added Kexec Handover feature

 - "mm: make mm-&gt;flags a bitmap and 64-bit on all arches" from Lorenzo
   Stoakes turns mm_struct.flags into a bitmap. To end the constant
   struggle with space shortage on 32-bit conflicting with 64-bit's
   needs

 - "mm/swapfile.c and swap.h cleanup" from Chris Li cleans up some swap
   code

 - "selftests/mm: Fix false positives and skip unsupported tests" from
   Donet Tom fixes a few things in our selftests code

 - "prctl: extend PR_SET_THP_DISABLE to only provide THPs when advised"
   from David Hildenbrand "allows individual processes to opt-out of
   THP=always into THP=madvise, without affecting other workloads on the
   system".

   It's a long story - the [1/N] changelog spells out the considerations

 - "Add and use memdesc_flags_t" from Matthew Wilcox gets us started on
   the memdesc project. Please see

      https://kernelnewbies.org/MatthewWilcox/Memdescs and
      https://blogs.oracle.com/linux/post/introducing-memdesc

 - "Tiny optimization for large read operations" from Chi Zhiling
   improves the efficiency of the pagecache read path

 - "Better split_huge_page_test result check" from Zi Yan improves our
   folio splitting selftest code

 - "test that rmap behaves as expected" from Wei Yang adds some rmap
   selftests

 - "remove write_cache_pages()" from Christoph Hellwig removes that
   function and converts its two remaining callers

 - "selftests/mm: uffd-stress fixes" from Dev Jain fixes some UFFD
   selftests issues

 - "introduce kernel file mapped folios" from Boris Burkov introduces
   the concept of "kernel file pages". Using these permits btrfs to
   account its metadata pages to the root cgroup, rather than to the
   cgroups of random inappropriate tasks

 - "mm/pageblock: improve readability of some pageblock handling" from
   Wei Yang provides some readability improvements to the page allocator
   code

 - "mm/damon: support ARM32 with LPAE" from SeongJae Park teaches DAMON
   to understand arm32 highmem

 - "tools: testing: Use existing atomic.h for vma/maple tests" from
   Brendan Jackman performs some code cleanups and deduplication under
   tools/testing/

 - "maple_tree: Fix testing for 32bit compiles" from Liam Howlett fixes
   a couple of 32-bit issues in tools/testing/radix-tree.c

 - "kasan: unify kasan_enabled() and remove arch-specific
   implementations" from Sabyrzhan Tasbolatov moves KASAN arch-specific
   initialization code into a common arch-neutral implementation

 - "mm: remove zpool" from Johannes Weiner removes zspool - an
   indirection layer which now only redirects to a single thing
   (zsmalloc)

 - "mm: task_stack: Stack handling cleanups" from Pasha Tatashin makes a
   couple of cleanups in the fork code

 - "mm: remove nth_page()" from David Hildenbrand makes rather a lot of
   adjustments at various nth_page() callsites, eventually permitting
   the removal of that undesirable helper function

 - "introduce kasan.write_only option in hw-tags" from Yeoreum Yun
   creates a KASAN read-only mode for ARM, using that architecture's
   memory tagging feature. It is felt that a read-only mode KASAN is
   suitable for use in production systems rather than debug-only

 - "mm: hugetlb: cleanup hugetlb folio allocation" from Kefeng Wang does
   some tidying in the hugetlb folio allocation code

 - "mm: establish const-correctness for pointer parameters" from Max
   Kellermann makes quite a number of the MM API functions more accurate
   about the constness of their arguments. This was getting in the way
   of subsystems (in this case CEPH) when they attempt to improving
   their own const/non-const accuracy

 - "Cleanup free_pages() misuse" from Vishal Moola fixes a number of
   code sites which were confused over when to use free_pages() vs
   __free_pages()

 - "Add Rust abstraction for Maple Trees" from Alice Ryhl makes the
   mapletree code accessible to Rust. Required by nouveau and by its
   forthcoming successor: the new Rust Nova driver

 - "selftests/mm: split_huge_page_test: split_pte_mapped_thp
   improvements" from David Hildenbrand adds a fix and some cleanups to
   the thp selftesting code

 - "mm, swap: introduce swap table as swap cache (phase I)" from Chris
   Li and Kairui Song is the first step along the path to implementing
   "swap tables" - a new approach to swap allocation and state tracking
   which is expected to yield speed and space improvements. This
   patchset itself yields a 5-20% performance benefit in some situations

 - "Some ptdesc cleanups" from Matthew Wilcox utilizes the new memdesc
   layer to clean up the ptdesc code a little

 - "Fix va_high_addr_switch.sh test failure" from Chunyu Hu fixes some
   issues in our 5-level pagetable selftesting code

 - "Minor fixes for memory allocation profiling" from Suren Baghdasaryan
   addresses a couple of minor issues in relatively new memory
   allocation profiling feature

 - "Small cleanups" from Matthew Wilcox has a few cleanups in
   preparation for more memdesc work

 - "mm/damon: add addr_unit for DAMON_LRU_SORT and DAMON_RECLAIM" from
   Quanmin Yan makes some changes to DAMON in furtherance of supporting
   arm highmem

 - "selftests/mm: Add -Wunreachable-code and fix warnings" from Muhammad
   Anjum adds that compiler check to selftests code and fixes the
   fallout, by removing dead code

 - "Improvements to Victim Process Thawing and OOM Reaper Traversal
   Order" from zhongjinji makes a number of improvements in the OOM
   killer: mainly thawing a more appropriate group of victim threads so
   they can release resources

 - "mm/damon: misc fixups and improvements for 6.18" from SeongJae Park
   is a bunch of small and unrelated fixups for DAMON

 - "mm/damon: define and use DAMON initialization check function" from
   SeongJae Park implement reliability and maintainability improvements
   to a recently-added bug fix

 - "mm/damon/stat: expose auto-tuned intervals and non-idle ages" from
   SeongJae Park provides additional transparency to userspace clients
   of the DAMON_STAT information

 - "Expand scope of khugepaged anonymous collapse" from Dev Jain removes
   some constraints on khubepaged's collapsing of anon VMAs. It also
   increases the success rate of MADV_COLLAPSE against an anon vma

 - "mm: do not assume file == vma-&gt;vm_file in compat_vma_mmap_prepare()"
   from Lorenzo Stoakes moves us further towards removal of
   file_operations.mmap(). This patchset concentrates upon clearing up
   the treatment of stacked filesystems

 - "mm: Improve mlock tracking for large folios" from Kiryl Shutsemau
   provides some fixes and improvements to mlock's tracking of large
   folios. /proc/meminfo's "Mlocked" field became more accurate

 - "mm/ksm: Fix incorrect accounting of KSM counters during fork" from
   Donet Tom fixes several user-visible KSM stats inaccuracies across
   forks and adds selftest code to verify these counters

 - "mm_slot: fix the usage of mm_slot_entry" from Wei Yang addresses
   some potential but presently benign issues in KSM's mm_slot handling

* tag 'mm-stable-2025-10-01-19-00' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm: (372 commits)

Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This contains the usual selections of misc updates for this cycle.

  Features:

   - Add "initramfs_options" parameter to set initramfs mount options.
     This allows to add specific mount options to the rootfs to e.g.,
     limit the memory size

   - Add RWF_NOSIGNAL flag for pwritev2()

     Add RWF_NOSIGNAL flag for pwritev2. This flag prevents the SIGPIPE
     signal from being raised when writing on disconnected pipes or
     sockets. The flag is handled directly by the pipe filesystem and
     converted to the existing MSG_NOSIGNAL flag for sockets

   - Allow to pass pid namespace as procfs mount option

     Ever since the introduction of pid namespaces, procfs has had very
     implicit behaviour surrounding them (the pidns used by a procfs
     mount is auto-selected based on the mounting process's active
     pidns, and the pidns itself is basically hidden once the mount has
     been constructed)

     This implicit behaviour has historically meant that userspace was
     required to do some special dances in order to configure the pidns
     of a procfs mount as desired. Examples include:

     * In order to bypass the mnt_too_revealing() check, Kubernetes
       creates a procfs mount from an empty pidns so that user
       namespaced containers can be nested (without this, the nested
       containers would fail to mount procfs)

       But this requires forking off a helper process because you cannot
       just one-shot this using mount(2)

     * Container runtimes in general need to fork into a container
       before configuring its mounts, which can lead to security issues
       in the case of shared-pidns containers (a privileged process in
       the pidns can interact with your container runtime process)

       While SUID_DUMP_DISABLE and user namespaces make this less of an
       issue, the strict need for this due to a minor uAPI wart is kind
       of unfortunate

       Things would be much easier if there was a way for userspace to
       just specify the pidns they want. So this pull request contains
       changes to implement a new "pidns" argument which can be set
       using fsconfig(2):

           fsconfig(procfd, FSCONFIG_SET_FD, "pidns", NULL, nsfd);
           fsconfig(procfd, FSCONFIG_SET_STRING, "pidns", "/proc/self/ns/pid", 0);

       or classic mount(2) / mount(8):

           // mount -t proc -o pidns=/proc/self/ns/pid proc /tmp/proc
           mount("proc", "/tmp/proc", "proc", MS_..., "pidns=/proc/self/ns/pid");

  Cleanups:

   - Remove the last references to EXPORT_OP_ASYNC_LOCK

   - Make file_remove_privs_flags() static

   - Remove redundant __GFP_NOWARN when GFP_NOWAIT is used

   - Use try_cmpxchg() in start_dir_add()

   - Use try_cmpxchg() in sb_init_done_wq()

   - Replace offsetof() with struct_size() in ioctl_file_dedupe_range()

   - Remove vfs_ioctl() export

   - Replace rwlock() with spinlock in epoll code as rwlock causes
     priority inversion on preempt rt kernels

   - Rename generic_delete_inode() to inode_just_drop() and
     generic_drop_inode() to inode_generic_drop()

   - Remove unused arguments from fcntl_{g,s}et_rw_hint()

  Fixes:

   - Document @name parameter for name_contains_dotdot() helper

     number

   - Limit the size for copy_file_range() in compat mode to prevent a

Patch series " execute PROCMAP_QUERY ioctl under per-vma lock", v4.

With /proc/pid/maps now being read under per-vma lock protection we can
reuse parts of that code to execute PROCMAP_QUERY ioctl also without
taking mmap_lock.  The change is designed to reduce mmap_lock contention
and prevent PROCMAP_QUERY ioctl calls from blocking address space updates.

This patchset was split out of the original patchset [1] that introduced
per-vma lock usage for /proc/pid/maps reading.  It contains PROCMAP_QUERY
tests, code refactoring patch to simplify the main change and the actual
transition to per-vma lock.


This patch (of 3):

Extend /proc/pid/maps tearing tests to verify PROCMAP_QUERY ioctl operation
correctness while the vma is being concurrently modified.

     |         ^~~~~~

Add string format specifier %s for the printf calls in both
print_first_lines() and print_last_lines() thus resolving the warnings.

The test executes fine after this change thus causing no effect to the
functional behavior of the test.

<title>selftests/proc: extend /proc/pid/maps tearing test to include vma remapping</title>

Test that /proc/pid/maps does not report unexpected holes in the address
space when we concurrently remap a part of a vma into the middle of
another vma.  This remapping results in the destination vma being split
into three parts and the part in the middle being patched back from, all
done concurrently from under the reader.  We should always see either
original vma or the split one with no holes.
