"As usual, many cleanups. The below blurbiage describes 42 patchsets.
21 of those are partially or fully cleanup work. "cleans up",
"cleanup", "maintainability", "rationalizes", etc.
I never knew the MM code was so dirty.

adds a new kernel module which simplifies the setup and usage of
DAMON in production environments.
"stop passing a writeback_control to swap/shmem writeout" (Christoph Hellwig)
is a cleanup to the writeback code which removes a couple of
pointers from struct writeback_control.

does that. A 37% reduction in execution time was measured in a
memset+mremap+munmap microbenchmark.
"Remove zero_user()" (Matthew Wilcox)
expunges zero_user() in favor of the more modern memzero_page().

adds additional drgn- and python-based DAMON selftests which are
more comprehensive than the existing selftest suite.
"Misc rework on hugetlb faulting path" (Oscar Salvador)
fixes a rather obscure deadlock in the hugetlb fault code and
follows that fix with a series of cleanups.
"cma: factor out allocation logic from __cma_declare_contiguous_nid" (Mike Rapoport)
rationalizes and cleans up the highmem-specific code in the CMA
allocator.
"mm/migration: rework movable_ops page migration (part 1)" (David Hildenbrand)
provides cleanups and future-preparedness to the migration code.

provides a couple of page->folio conversions.
"mm: per-node proactive reclaim" (Davidlohr Bueso)
implements a per-node control of proactive reclaim - beyond the
current memcg-based implementation.
"mm/damon: remove damon_callback" (SeongJae Park)
replaces the damon_callback interface with a more general and
powerful damon_call()+damos_walk() interface.
"mm/mremap: permit mremap() move of multiple VMAs" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
implements a number of mremap cleanups (of course) in preparation
for adding new mremap() functionality: newly permit the remapping
of multiple VMAs when the user is specifying MREMAP_FIXED. It still
excludes some specialized situations where this cannot be performed
reliably.
"drop hugetlb_free_pgd_range()" (Anthony Yznaga)
switches some sparc hugetlb code over to the generic version and
removes the thus-unneeded hugetlb_free_pgd_range().
"mm/damon/sysfs: support periodic and automated stats update" (SeongJae Park)
augments the present userspace-requested update of DAMON sysfs
monitoring files. Automatic update is now provided, along with a
tunable to control the update interval.

a copy of a pageframe and inspect it locklessly without tripping
over the races inherent in operating on the live pageframe
directly.
"use per-vma locks for /proc/pid/maps reads" (Suren Baghdasaryan)
addresses the large contention issues which can be triggered by
reads from that procfs file. Latencies are reduced by more than
half in some situations. The series also introduces several new
selftests for the /proc/pid/maps interface.
"__folio_split() clean up" (Zi Yan)
cleans up __folio_split()!
"Optimize mprotect() for large folios" (Dev Jain)
provides some quite large (>3x) speedups to mprotect() when dealing
with large folios.
"selftests/mm: reuse FORCE_READ to replace "asm volatile("" : "+r" (XXX));" and some cleanup" (wang lian)
does some cleanup work in the selftests code.
"tools/testing: expand mremap testing" (Lorenzo Stoakes)

more checking of Lorenzo's recently added "permit mremap() move of
multiple VMAs" feature.
"selftests/damon/sysfs.py: test all parameters" (SeongJae Park)
extends the DAMON sysfs interface selftest so that it tests all
possible user-requested parameters. Rather than the present minimal
subset"

"It has been a relatively busy cycle for docs, especially the build

- The Perl kernel-doc script was added to 2.3.52pre1 just after the
turn of the millennium. Over the following 25 years, it accumulated
a vast amount of cruft, all in a language few people want to deal

reproduced all of the cruft in the hope of avoiding regressions.
Now that we have a more reasonable code base, though, we can work
on cleaning it up; many of the changes this time around are toward
that end.
- A reorganization of the ext4 docs into the usual TOC format.

Add an introductory paragraph to Part Id - Streaming DMA mappings and move
the explanation of address constraints there, because it applies to all map
functions.
Clarify that streaming DMA can be used with memory which does not meet the
addressing constraints of a device, but it may fail in that case.
Make a note about SWIOTLB and link to the detailed description of it.
Do not mention platform-dependent allocation flags. The note may mislead
device driver authors into thinking that they should poke into and try to
second-guess the DMA API implementation. They definitely shouldn't.
Remove the claim that platforms with an IOMMU may not require physically
contiguous buffers. The current implementation explicitly rejects vmalloc
addresses, regardless of IOMMU.

The wording sometimes suggests there are multiple functions for an
operation. This was in fact the case before PCI DMA API was removed, but
since there is only one API now, the documentation has become confusing.
To improve readability:
* Remove implicit references to the PCI DMA API (plurals, use of "both",
etc.)
* Where possible, refer to an actual function rather than a more generic
description of the operation.

Rework how lib/crc/ supports arch-optimized code. First, instead of the
arch-optimized CRC code being in arch/$(SRCARCH)/lib/, it will now be in
lib/crc/$(SRCARCH)/. Second, the API functions (e.g. crc32c()),
arch-optimized functions (e.g. crc32c_arch()), and generic functions
(e.g. crc32c_base()) will now be part of a single module for each CRC
type, allowing better inlining and dead code elimination. The second
change is made possible by the first.
As an example, consider CONFIG_CRC32=m on x86. We'll now have just
crc32.ko instead of both crc32-x86.ko and crc32.ko. The two modules
were already coupled together and always both got loaded together via
direct symbol dependency, so the separation provided no benefit.
Note: later I'd like to apply the same design to lib/crypto/ too, where
often the API functions are out-of-line so this will work even better.
In those cases, for each algorithm we currently have 3 modules all
coupled together, e.g. libsha256.ko, libsha256-generic.ko, and
sha256-x86.ko. We should have just one, inline things properly, and
rely on the compiler's dead code elimination to decide the inclusion of
the generic code instead of manually setting it via kconfig.
Having arch-specific code outside arch/ was somewhat controversial when
Zinc proposed it back in 2018. But I don't think the concerns are
warranted. It's better from a technical perspective, as it enables the
improvements mentioned above. This model is already successfully used
in other places in the kernel such as lib/raid6/. The community of each
architecture still remains free to work on the code, even if it's not in
arch/. At the time there was also a desire to put the library code in
the same files as the old-school crypto API, but that was a mistake; now
that the library is separate, that's no longer a constraint either.

Currently if a user enqueue a work item using schedule_delayed_work() the
used wq is "system_wq" (per-cpu wq) while queue_delayed_work() use
WORK_CPU_UNBOUND (used when a cpu is not specified). The same applies to
schedule_work() that is using system_wq and queue_work(), that makes use
again of WORK_CPU_UNBOUND.
This lack of consistentcy cannot be addressed without refactoring the API.
This patch adds a new WQ_PERCPU flag to explicitly request the use of
the per-CPU behavior. Both flags coexist for one release cycle to allow
callers to transition their calls.
Once migration is complete, WQ_UNBOUND can be removed and unbound will
become the implicit default.

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

Pull drm updates from Dave Airlie:
"As part of building up nova-core/nova-drm pieces we've brought in some
rust abstractions through this tree, aux bus being the main one, with
devres changes also in the driver-core tree. Along with the drm core
abstractions and enough nova-core/nova-drm to use them. This is still
all stub work under construction, to build the nova driver upstream.
The other big NVIDIA related one is nouveau adds support for
Hopper/Blackwell GPUs, this required a new GSP firmware update to
570.144, and a bunch of rework in order to support multiple fw
interfaces.

precursor to getting the real driver in later, but to unblock

Pull dma-mapping updates from Marek Szyprowski:
"New two step DMA mapping API, which is is a first step to a long path
to provide alternatives to scatterlist and to remove hacks, abuses and
design mistakes related to scatterlists.
This new approach optimizes some calls to DMA-IOMMU layer and cache
maintenance by batching them, reduces memory usage as it is no need to
store mapped DMA addresses to unmap them, and reduces some function
call overhead. It is a combination effort of many people, lead and

irqdomain.c's kernel-doc exists, but is not plugged into Documentation/
yet.
Before plugging it in, fix it first: irq_domain_get_irq_data() and
irq_domain_set_info() were documented twice. Identically, by both
definitions for CONFIG_IRQ_DOMAIN_HIERARCHY and !CONFIG_IRQ_DOMAIN_HIERARCHY.
Therefore, switch the second kernel-doc into an ordinary comment -- change
"/**" to simple "/*". This avoids sphinx's: WARNING: Duplicate C
declaration
Next, in commit b7b377332b ("irqdomain: Fix the kernel-doc and plug it
into Documentation"), irqdomain.h's (header) kernel-doc was added into
core-api/genericirq.rst. But given the amount of irqdomain functions and
structures, move all these to core-api/irq/irq-domain.rst now.
Finally, add these newly fixed irqdomain.c's (source) docs there as
well.

The irqdomain documentaion became obsolete over time. Update and extend
it a bit with respect to the current code and HW.
Most notably the doubled documentation of irq_domain (from .rst and .h)
was unified and let only in .rst. A reference link was added to .h.
Furthermore:
* Add some 'struct' keywords, so that the respective structs are
hyperlinked
* :c:member: use where appropriate to mark a member of a struct
* Rephrase some wording to improve readability/understanding

All irq_domain_add_*() functions are going away. PowerPC is the only
user of irq_domain_add_nomap() and there is no irq_domain_create_nomap()
complement.
Therefore, to align with the rest of the kernel, rename
irq_domain_add_nomap() to irq_domain_create_nomap() and accept a
fwnode_handle instead of a device_node.

%pC and %pCn print the same string, and commit 900cca2944 ("lib/vsprintf:
add %pC{,n,r} format specifiers for clocks") introducing them does not
clarify any intended difference. It can be assumed %pC is a default for
%pCn as some other specifiers do, but not all are consistent with this
policy. Moreover there is now no other suffix other than 'n', which makes a
default not really useful.
All users in the kernel were using %pC except for one which has been
converted. So now remove %pCn and all the unnecessary extra code and
documentation.
