Pull slab updates from Vlastimil Babka:
- Freelist loading optimization (Chengming Zhou)
When the per-cpu slab is depleted and a new one loaded from the cpu
partial list, optimize the loading to avoid an irq enable/disable
cycle. This results in a 3.5% performance improvement on the "perf
bench sched messaging" test.
- Kernel boot parameters cleanup after SLAB removal (Xiongwei Song)
Due to two different main slab implementations we've had boot
parameters prefixed either slab_ and slub_ with some later becoming
an alias as both implementations gained the same functionality (i.e.
slab_nomerge vs slub_nomerge). In order to eventually get rid of the
implementation-specific names, the canonical and documented
parameters are now all prefixed slab_ and the slub_ variants become
deprecated but still working aliases.
- SLAB_ kmem_cache creation flags cleanup (Vlastimil Babka)
The flags had hardcoded #define values which became tedious and
error-prone when adding new ones. Assign the values via an enum that
takes care of providing unique bit numbers. Also deprecate
SLAB_MEM_SPREAD which was only used by SLAB, so it's a no-op since
SLAB removal. Assign it an explicit zero value. The removals of the
flag usage are handled independently in the respective subsystems,
with a final removal of any leftover usage planned for the next
release.
- Misc cleanups and fixes (Chengming Zhou, Xiaolei Wang, Zheng Yejian)
Includes removal of unused code or function parameters and a fix of a
memleak.

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
"Core & protocols:
- Large effort by Eric to lower rtnl_lock pressure and remove locks:
- Make commonly used parts of rtnetlink (address, route dumps
etc) lockless, protected by RCU instead of rtnl_lock.
- Add a netns exit callback which already holds rtnl_lock,
allowing netns exit to take rtnl_lock once in the core instead
of once for each driver / callback.
- Remove locks / serialization in the socket diag interface.
- Remove 6 calls to synchronize_rcu() while holding rtnl_lock.
- Remove the dev_base_lock, depend on RCU where necessary.
- Support busy polling on a per-epoll context basis. Poll length and
budget parameters can be set independently of system defaults.
- Introduce struct net_hotdata, to make sure read-mostly global
config variables fit in as few cache lines as possible.
- Add optional per-nexthop statistics to ease monitoring / debug of
ECMP imbalance problems.
- Support TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT in MPTCP.
- Ensure that IPv6 temporary addresses' preferred lifetimes are long
enough, compared to other configured lifetimes, and at least 2 sec.
- Support forwarding of ICMP Error messages in IPSec, per RFC 4301.
- Add support for the independent control state machine for bonding
per IEEE 802.1AX-2008 5.4.15 in addition to the existing coupled
control state machine.
- Add "network ID" to MCTP socket APIs to support hosts with multiple
disjoint MCTP networks.
- Re-use the mono_delivery_time skbuff bit for packets which user
space wants to be sent at a specified time. Maintain the timing
information while traversing veth links, bridge etc.
- Take advantage of MSG_SPLICE_PAGES for RxRPC DATA and ACK packets.
- Simplify many places iterating over netdevs by using an xarray
instead of a hash table walk (hash table remains in place, for use
on fastpaths).
- Speed up scanning for expired routes by keeping a dedicated list.
- Speed up "generic" XDP by trying harder to avoid large allocations.
- Support attaching arbitrary metadata to netconsole messages.
Things we sprinkled into general kernel code:
- Enforce VM_IOREMAP flag and range in ioremap_page_range and
introduce VM_SPARSE kind and vm_area_[un]map_pages (used by
bpf_arena).
- Rework selftest harness to enable the use of the full range of ksft
exit code (pass, fail, skip, xfail, xpass).
Netfilter:
- Allow userspace to define a table that is exclusively owned by a
daemon (via netlink socket aliveness) without auto-removing this
table when the userspace program exits. Such table gets marked as
orphaned and a restarting management daemon can re-attach/regain
ownership.
- Speed up element insertions to nftables' concatenated-ranges set
type. Compact a few related data structures.
BPF:
- Add BPF token support for delegating a subset of BPF subsystem
functionality from privileged system-wide daemons such as systemd
through special mount options for userns-bound BPF fs to a trusted
& unprivileged application.
- Introduce bpf_arena which is sparse shared memory region between
BPF program and user space where structures inside the arena can
have pointers to other areas of the arena, and pointers work
seamlessly for both user-space programs and BPF programs.
- Introduce may_goto instruction that is a contract between the
verifier and the program. The verifier allows the program to loop
assuming it's behaving well, but reserves the right to terminate
it.
- Extend the BPF verifier to enable static subprog calls in spin lock
critical sections.
- Support registration of struct_ops types from modules which helps
projects like fuse-bpf that seeks to implement a new struct_ops
type.
- Add support for retrieval of cookies for perf/kprobe multi links.
- Support arbitrary TCP SYN cookie generation / validation in the TC
layer with BPF to allow creating SYN flood handling in BPF
firewalls.
- Add code generation to inline the bpf_kptr_xchg() helper which
improves performance when stashing/popping the allocated BPF
objects.
Wireless:
- Add SPP (signaling and payload protected) AMSDU support.
- Support wider bandwidth OFDMA, as required for EHT operation.
Driver API:
- Major overhaul of the Energy Efficient Ethernet internals to
support new link modes (2.5GE, 5GE), share more code between
drivers (especially those using phylib), and encourage more
uniform behavior. Convert and clean up drivers.
- Define an API for querying per netdev queue statistics from
drivers.
- IPSec: account in global stats for fully offloaded sessions.
- Create a concept of Ethernet PHY Packages at the Device Tree level,
to allow parameterizing the existing PHY package code.
- Enable Rx hashing (RSS) on GTP protocol fields.
Misc:
- Improvements and refactoring all over networking selftests.
- Create uniform module aliases for TC classifiers, actions, and
packet schedulers to simplify creating modprobe policies.
- Address all missing MODULE_DESCRIPTION() warnings in networking.
- Extend the Netlink descriptions in YAML to cover message
encapsulation or "Netlink polymorphism", where interpretation of
nested attributes depends on link type, classifier type or some
other "class type".

Pull x86 RFDS mitigation from Dave Hansen:
"RFDS is a CPU vulnerability that may allow a malicious userspace to
infer stale register values from kernel space. Kernel registers can
have all kinds of secrets in them so the mitigation is basically to
wait until the kernel is about to return to userspace and has user
values in the registers. At that point there is little chance of
kernel secrets ending up in the registers and the microarchitectural
state can be cleared.
This leverages some recent robustness fixes for the existing MDS
vulnerability. Both MDS and RFDS use the VERW instruction for
mitigation"

Pull EDAC updates from Borislav Petkov:
- Add a FRU (Field Replaceable Unit) memory poison manager which
collects and manages previously encountered hw errors in order to
save them to persistent storage across reboots. Previously recorded
errors are "replayed" upon reboot in order to poison memory which has
caused said errors in the past.
The main use case is stacked, on-chip memory which cannot simply be
replaced so poisoning faulty areas of it and thus making them
inaccessible is the only strategy to prolong its lifetime.
- Add an AMD address translation library glue which converts the
reported addresses of hw errors into system physical addresses in
order to be used by other subsystems like memory failure, for
example. Add support for MI300 accelerators to that library.

Pull x86 FRED support from Thomas Gleixner:
"Support for x86 Fast Return and Event Delivery (FRED).
FRED is a replacement for IDT event delivery on x86 and addresses most
of the technical nightmares which IDT exposes:
1) Exception cause registers like CR2 need to be manually preserved
in nested exception scenarios.
2) Hardware interrupt stack switching is suboptimal for nested
exceptions as the interrupt stack mechanism rewinds the stack on
each entry which requires a massive effort in the low level entry
of #NMI code to handle this.
3) No hardware distinction between entry from kernel or from user
which makes establishing kernel context more complex than it needs
to be especially for unconditionally nestable exceptions like NMI.
4) NMI nesting caused by IRET unconditionally reenabling NMIs, which
is a problem when the perf NMI takes a fault when collecting a
stack trace.
5) Partial restore of ESP when returning to a 16-bit segment
6) Limitation of the vector space which can cause vector exhaustion
on large systems.
7) Inability to differentiate NMI sources
FRED addresses these shortcomings by:
1) An extended exception stack frame which the CPU uses to save
exception cause registers. This ensures that the meta information
for each exception is preserved on stack and avoids the extra
complexity of preserving it in software.
2) Hardware interrupt stack switching is non-rewinding if a nested
exception uses the currently interrupt stack.
3) The entry points for kernel and user context are separate and GS
BASE handling which is required to establish kernel context for
per CPU variable access is done in hardware.
4) NMIs are now nesting protected. They are only reenabled on the
return from NMI.
5) FRED guarantees full restore of ESP
6) FRED does not put a limitation on the vector space by design
because it uses a central entry points for kernel and user space
and the CPUstores the entry type (exception, trap, interrupt,
syscall) on the entry stack along with the vector number. The
entry code has to demultiplex this information, but this removes
the vector space restriction.
The first hardware implementations will still have the current
restricted vector space because lifting this limitation requires
further changes to the local APIC.
7) FRED stores the vector number and meta information on stack which
allows having more than one NMI vector in future hardware when the
required local APIC changes are in place.
The series implements the initial FRED support by:
- Reworking the existing entry and IDT handling infrastructure to
accomodate for the alternative entry mechanism.
- Expanding the stack frame to accomodate for the extra 16 bytes FRED
requires to store context and meta information
- Providing FRED specific C entry points for events which have
information pushed to the extended stack frame, e.g. #PF and #DB.
- Providing FRED specific C entry points for #NMI and #MCE
- Implementing the FRED specific ASM entry points and the C code to
demultiplex the events
- Providing detection and initialization mechanisms and the necessary
tweaks in context switching, GS BASE handling etc.
The FRED integration aims for maximum code reuse vs the existing IDT
implementation to the extent possible and the deviation in hot paths
like context switching are handled with alternatives to minimalize the
impact. The low level entry and exit paths are seperate due to the
extended stack frame and the hardware based GS BASE swichting and
therefore have no impact on IDT based systems.
It has been extensively tested on existing systems and on the FRED
simulation and as of now there are no outstanding problems"

Pull x86 APIC updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"Rework of APIC enumeration and topology evaluation.
The current implementation has a couple of shortcomings:
- It fails to handle hybrid systems correctly.
- The APIC registration code which handles CPU number assignents is
in the middle of the APIC code and detached from the topology
evaluation.
- The various mechanisms which enumerate APICs, ACPI, MPPARSE and
guest specific ones, tweak global variables as they see fit or in
case of XENPV just hack around the generic mechanisms completely.
- The CPUID topology evaluation code is sprinkled all over the vendor
code and reevaluates global variables on every hotplug operation.
- There is no way to analyze topology on the boot CPU before bringing
up the APs. This causes problems for infrastructure like PERF which
needs to size certain aspects upfront or could be simplified if
that would be possible.
- The APIC admission and CPU number association logic is
incomprehensible and overly complex and needs to be kept around
after boot instead of completing this right after the APIC
enumeration.
This update addresses these shortcomings with the following changes:
- Rework the CPUID evaluation code so it is common for all vendors
and provides information about the APIC ID segments in a uniform
way independent of the number of segments (Thread, Core, Module,
..., Die, Package) so that this information can be computed instead
of rewriting global variables of dubious value over and over.
- A few cleanups and simplifcations of the APIC, IO/APIC and related
interfaces to prepare for the topology evaluation changes.
- Seperation of the parser stages so the early evaluation which tries
to find the APIC address can be seperately overridden from the late
evaluation which enumerates and registers the local APIC as further
preparation for sanitizing the topology evaluation.
- A new registration and admission logic which
- encapsulates the inner workings so that parsers and guest logic
cannot longer fiddle in it
- uses the APIC ID segments to build topology bitmaps at
registration time
- provides a sane admission logic
- allows to detect the crash kernel case, where CPU0 does not run
on the real BSP, automatically. This is required to prevent
sending INIT/SIPI sequences to the real BSP which would reset
the whole machine. This was so far handled by a tedious command
line parameter, which does not even work in nested crash
scenarios.
- Associates CPU number after the enumeration completed and
prevents the late registration of APICs, which was somehow
tolerated before.
- Converting all parsers and guest enumeration mechanisms over to the
new interfaces.
This allows to get rid of all global variable tweaking from the
parsers and enumeration mechanisms and sanitizes the XEN[PV]
handling so it can use CPUID evaluation for the first time.
- Mopping up existing sins by taking the information from the APIC ID
segment bitmaps.
This evaluates hybrid systems correctly on the boot CPU and allows

Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"A large set of updates and features for timers and timekeeping:
- The hierarchical timer pull model
When timer wheel timers are armed they are placed into the timer
wheel of a CPU which is likely to be busy at the time of expiry.
This is done to avoid wakeups on potentially idle CPUs.
This is wrong in several aspects:
1) The heuristics to select the target CPU are wrong by
definition as the chance to get the prediction right is
close to zero.
2) Due to #1 it is possible that timers are accumulated on
a single target CPU
3) The required computation in the enqueue path is just overhead
for dubious value especially under the consideration that the
vast majority of timer wheel timers are either canceled or
rearmed before they expire.
The timer pull model avoids the above by removing the target
computation on enqueue and queueing timers always on the CPU on
which they get armed.
This is achieved by having separate wheels for CPU pinned timers
and global timers which do not care about where they expire.
As long as a CPU is busy it handles both the pinned and the global
timers which are queued on the CPU local timer wheels.
When a CPU goes idle it evaluates its own timer wheels:
- If the first expiring timer is a pinned timer, then the global
timers can be ignored as the CPU will wake up before they
expire.
- If the first expiring timer is a global timer, then the expiry
time is propagated into the timer pull hierarchy and the CPU
makes sure to wake up for the first pinned timer.
The timer pull hierarchy organizes CPUs in groups of eight at the
lowest level and at the next levels groups of eight groups up to
the point where no further aggregation of groups is required, i.e.
the number of levels is log8(NR_CPUS). The magic number of eight
has been established by experimention, but can be adjusted if
needed.
In each group one busy CPU acts as the migrator. It's only one CPU
to avoid lock contention on remote timer wheels.
The migrator CPU checks in its own timer wheel handling whether
there are other CPUs in the group which have gone idle and have
global timers to expire. If there are global timers to expire, the
migrator locks the remote CPU timer wheel and handles the expiry.
Depending on the group level in the hierarchy this handling can
require to walk the hierarchy downwards to the CPU level.
Special care is taken when the last CPU goes idle. At this point
the CPU is the systemwide migrator at the top of the hierarchy and
it therefore cannot delegate to the hierarchy. It needs to arm its
own timer device to expire either at the first expiring timer in
the hierarchy or at the first CPU local timer, which ever expires
first.
This completely removes the overhead from the enqueue path, which
is e.g. for networking a true hotpath and trades it for a slightly
more complex idle path.
This has been in development for a couple of years and the final
series has been extensively tested by various teams from silicon
vendors and ran through extensive CI.
There have been slight performance improvements observed on network
centric workloads and an Intel team confirmed that this allows them
to power down a die completely on a mult-die socket for the first
time in a mostly idle scenario.
There is only one outstanding ~1.5% regression on a specific
overloaded netperf test which is currently investigated, but the
rest is either positive or neutral performance wise and positive on
the power management side.
- Fixes for the timekeeping interpolation code for cross-timestamps:
cross-timestamps are used for PTP to get snapshots from hardware
timers and interpolated them back to clock MONOTONIC. The changes
address a few corner cases in the interpolation code which got the
math and logic wrong.
- Simplifcation of the clocksource watchdog retry logic to
automatically adjust to handle larger systems correctly instead of
having more incomprehensible command line parameters.
- Treewide consolidation of the VDSO data structures.
- The usual small improvements and cleanups all over the place"

RFDS is a CPU vulnerability that may allow userspace to infer kernel
stale data previously used in floating point registers, vector registers
and integer registers. RFDS only affects certain Intel Atom processors.
Intel released a microcode update that uses VERW instruction to clear
the affected CPU buffers. Unlike MDS, none of the affected cores support
SMT.
Add RFDS bug infrastructure and enable the VERW based mitigation by
default, that clears the affected buffers just before exiting to
userspace. Also add sysfs reporting and cmdline parameter
"reg_file_data_sampling" to control the mitigation.

Pull workqueue updates from Tejun Heo:
"This cycle, a lot of workqueue changes including some that are
significant and invasive.
- During v6.6 cycle, unbound workqueues were updated so that they are
more topology aware and flexible, which among other things improved
workqueue behavior on modern multi-L3 CPUs. In the process, commit
636b927eba ("workqueue: Make unbound workqueues to use per-cpu
pool_workqueues") switched unbound workqueues to use per-CPU
frontend pool_workqueues as a part of increasing front-back mapping
flexibility.
An unwelcome side effect of this change was that this made max
concurrency enforcement per-CPU blowing up the maximum number of
allowed concurrent executions. I incorrectly assumed that this
wouldn't cause practical problems as most unbound workqueue users
are self-regulate max concurrency; however, there definitely are
which don't (e.g. on IO paths) and the drastic increase in the
allowed max concurrency led to noticeable perf regressions in some
use cases.
This is now addressed by separating out max concurrency enforcement
to a separate struct - wq_node_nr_active - which makes @max_active
consistently mean system-wide max concurrency regardless of the
number of CPUs or (finally) NUMA nodes. This is a rather invasive
and, in places, a bit clunky; however, the clunkiness rises from
the the inherent requirement to handle the disagreement between the
execution locality domain and max concurrency enforcement domain on
some modern machines.
See commit 5797b1c189 ("workqueue: Implement system-wide
nr_active enforcement for unbound workqueues") for more details.
- BH workqueue support is added.
They are similar to per-CPU workqueues but execute work items in
the softirq context. This is expected to replace tasklet. However,
currently, it's missing the ability to disable and enable work
items which is needed to convert many tasklet users. To avoid
crowding this merge window too much, this will be included in the
next merge window. A separate pull request will be sent for the
couple conversion patches that are currently pending.
- Waiman plugged a long-standing hole in workqueue CPU isolation
where ordered workqueues didn't follow wq_unbound_cpumask updates.
Ordered workqueues now follow the same rules as other unbound
workqueues.
- More CPU isolation improvements: Juri fixed another deficit in
workqueue isolation where unbound rescuers don't respect
wq_unbound_cpumask. Leonardo fixed delayed_work timers firing on
isolated CPUs.

Add a second document on bisecting regressions explaining the whole
process from beginning to end -- while also describing how to validate
if a problem is still present in mainline. This "two in one" approach
is possible, as checking whenever a bug is in mainline is one of the
first steps before performing a bisection anyway and thus needs to be
described. Due to this approach the text also works quite nicely in
conjunction with Documentation/admin-guide/reporting-issues.rst, as it
covers all typical cases where users will need to build a kernel in
exactly the same order.
The text targets users that normally run kernels from their Linux
distributor who might never have compiled their own kernel.
This aim is why the first kernel built while following this guide is
generated from the latest mainline codebase. This will rule out that the
regression (a) was fixed already and (b) is caused by config change a
vendor distributor performed; checking mainline will furthermore (c)
determine if the issue is something that needs to be reported to the
regular developers or the stable team (this is needed even when readers
bisect within a stable series).
Only then are readers instructed to build their own variant of the
'good' kernel to validate the trimmed .config file created during early
in the guide, as performing a bisection with a broken one would be a
waste of time. There is a small downside of this order: readers might
have to go back to testing mainline, if it turns out there is a problem
with their .config. But that should be rare -- and if the regression was
already fixed readers might not get to this point anyway. Hence in the
end this order should mean that readers built less kernels overall.
This sequence allows the text to easily cover the "check if a bug is
present in the upstream kernel" case while only making things a tiny bit
more complicated.
The text tries to prevent readers from running into many mistakes users
are known to frequently make. The steps required for this might look
superfluous for people that are already familiar with bisections -- but
anyone with that knowledge should be able to adapt the instructions to
their use-case or will not need this text at all.
Style and structure of the text match the one
Documentation/admin-guide/quickly-build-trimmed-linux.rst uses. Quite a
few paragraphs are even copied from there and not changed at all or only
slightly. This will complicate maintenance, as some future changes to
one of these documents will have to be replicated in the other. But this
is the lesser evil: solutions like "sending readers from one document
over to the other" or "extracting the common parts into a separate
document" might work in other cases, but would be too confusing here
given the topic and the target audience.

Commit 3cd3399dd7 ("net: implement per-cpu reserves for

"Implement a per-cpu cache of +1/-1 MB, to reduce number
of changes to sk->sk_prot->memory_allocated, which
would otherwise be cause of false sharing."
sk_prot->memory_allocated points to global atomic variable:
atomic_long_t tcp_memory_allocated ____cacheline_aligned_in_smp;
If increasing the per-cpu cache size from 1MB to e.g. 16MB,
changes to sk->sk_prot->memory_allocated can be further reduced.
Performance may be improved on system with many cores.

The EDID firmware loading mechanism introduced a few built-in EDIDs that

So, an analog monitor EDID. However, if the connector was an HDMI
monitor for example, it breaks the HDMI specification that requires,
among other things, a digital display, the VIC 1 mode and an HDMI Forum
Vendor Specific Data Block in an CTA-861 extension.
We thus end up with a completely invalid EDID, which thus might confuse
HDMI-related code that could parse it.
After some discussions on IRC, we identified mainly two ways to fix
this:
- We can either create more EDIDs for each connector type to provide
a built-in EDID that matches the resolution passed in the name, and
still be a sensible EDID for that connector type;
- Or we can just prevent the EDID to be exposed to userspace if it's
built-in.
Or possibly both.
However, the conclusion was that maybe we just don't need the built-in
EDIDs at all and we should just get rid of them. So here we are.

For debugging kernel panics and other bugs, there is already an option of
panic_print to dump all tasks' call stacks. On today's large servers
running many containers, there could be thousands of tasks or more, and
this will print out huge amount of call stacks, taking a lot of time (for
serial console which is main target user case of panic_print).
And in many cases, only those several tasks being blocked are key for the
panic, so add an option to only dump blocked tasks' call stacks.

Currently the default compression algorithm is selected based on
compile time options. Introduce a module parameter "hibernate.compressor"
to override this behaviour.
Different compression algorithms have different characteristics and
hibernation may benefit when it uses any of these algorithms, especially
when a secondary algorithm(LZ4) offers better decompression speeds over
a default algorithm(LZO), which in turn reduces hibernation image
restore time.
Users can override the default algorithm in two ways:
1) Passing "hibernate.compressor" as kernel command line parameter.
Usage:
LZO: hibernate.compressor=lzo
LZ4: hibernate.compressor=lz4
2) Specifying the algorithm at runtime.
Usage:
LZO: echo lzo > /sys/module/hibernate/parameters/compressor
LZ4: echo lz4 > /sys/module/hibernate/parameters/compressor
Currently LZO and LZ4 are the supported algorithms. LZO is the default

When a system has multiple NUMA nodes and it becomes bandwidth hungry,
using the current MPOL_INTERLEAVE could be an wise option.
However, if those NUMA nodes consist of different types of memory such as
socket-attached DRAM and CXL/PCIe attached DRAM, the round-robin based
interleave policy does not optimally distribute data to make use of their
different bandwidth characteristics.
Instead, interleave is more effective when the allocation policy follows
each NUMA nodes' bandwidth weight rather than a simple 1:1 distribution.
This patch introduces a new memory policy, MPOL_WEIGHTED_INTERLEAVE,
enabling weighted interleave between NUMA nodes. Weighted interleave
allows for proportional distribution of memory across multiple numa nodes,
preferably apportioned to match the bandwidth of each node.
For example, if a system has 1 CPU node (0), and 2 memory nodes (0,1),
with bandwidth of (100GB/s, 50GB/s) respectively, the appropriate weight
distribution is (2:1).
Weights for each node can be assigned via the new sysfs extension:
/sys/kernel/mm/mempolicy/weighted_interleave/
For now, the default value of all nodes will be `1`, which matches the
behavior of standard 1:1 round-robin interleave. An extension will be
added in the future to allow default values to be registered at kernel and
device bringup time.
The policy allocates a number of pages equal to the set weights. For
example, if the weights are (2,1), then 2 pages will be allocated on node0
for every 1 page allocated on node1.
The new flag MPOL_WEIGHTED_INTERLEAVE can be used in set_mempolicy(2)
and mbind(2).
Some high level notes about the pieces of weighted interleave:
current->il_prev:
Tracks the node previously allocated from.
current->il_weight:
The active weight of the current node (current->il_prev)
When this reaches 0, current->il_prev is set to the next node
and current->il_weight is set to the next weight.
weighted_interleave_nodes:
Counts the number of allocations as they occur, and applies the
weight for the current node. When the weight reaches 0, switch
to the next node. Operates only on task->mempolicy.
weighted_interleave_nid:
Gets the total weight of the nodemask as well as each individual
node weight, then calculates the node based on the given index.
Operates on VMA policies.
bulk_array_weighted_interleave:
Gets the total weight of the nodemask as well as each individual
node weight, then calculates the number of "interleave rounds" as
well as any delta ("partial round"). Calculates the number of
pages for each node and allocates them.
If a node was scheduled for interleave via interleave_nodes, the
current weight will be allocated first.
Operates only on the task->mempolicy.
One piece of complexity is the interaction between a recent refactor which
split the logic to acquire the "ilx" (interleave index) of an allocation
and the actually application of the interleave. If a call to
alloc_pages_mpol() were made with a weighted-interleave policy and ilx set
to NO_INTERLEAVE_INDEX, weighted_interleave_nodes() would operate on a VMA
policy - violating the description above.
An inspection of all callers of alloc_pages_mpol() shows that all external
callers set ilx to `0`, an index value, or will call get_vma_policy() to
acquire the ilx.
For example, mm/shmem.c may call into alloc_pages_mpol. The call stacks
all set (pgoff_t ilx) or end up in `get_vma_policy()`. This enforces the
`weighted_interleave_nodes()` and `weighted_interleave_nid()` policy
requirements (task/vma respectively).

Patch series "mm/damon: make DAMON debugfs interface deprecation
unignorable".
DAMON debugfs interface is deprecated in February 2023, by commit
5445fcbc4c ("Docs/admin-guide/mm/damon/usage: add DAMON debugfs
interface deprecation notice"). Make the fact unable to be easily ignored
by removing an example usage from the document (patch 1), renaming the
config (patch 2), adding a deprecation notice file to the debugfs
directory (patches 3-5), and renaming the debugfs file that essnetial to
be used for real use of DAMON (patches 6-9).
This patch (of 9):
DAMON tracepoints example on the DAMON usage document is using DAMON
debugfs interface, which is deprecated. Use its alternative, DAMON sysfs
interface.

When CONFIG_WQ_CPU_INTENSIVE_REPORT is set, the kernel will report
the work functions which violate the intensive_threshold_us repeatedly.
And now, only when the violate times exceed 4 and is a power of 2,
the kernel warning could be triggered.
However, sometimes, even if a long work execution time occurs only once,
it may cause other work to be delayed for a long time. This may also
cause some problems sometimes.
In order to freely control the threshold of warninging, a boot argument
is added so that the user can control the warning threshold to be printed.
At the same time, keep the exponential backoff to prevent reporting too much.
By default, the warning threshold is 4.

On a 8-socket server the TSC is wrongly marked as 'unstable' and disabled
during boot time on about one out of 120 boot attempts:
clocksource: timekeeping watchdog on CPU227: wd-tsc-wd excessive read-back delay of 153560ns vs. limit of 125000ns,
wd-wd read-back delay only 11440ns, attempt 3, marking tsc unstable
tsc: Marking TSC unstable due to clocksource watchdog
TSC found unstable after boot, most likely due to broken BIOS. Use 'tsc=unstable'.
sched_clock: Marking unstable (119294969739, 159204297)<-(125446229205, -5992055152)
clocksource: Checking clocksource tsc synchronization from CPU 319 to CPUs 0,99,136,180,210,542,601,896.
clocksource: Switched to clocksource hpet
The reason is that for platform with a large number of CPUs, there are
sporadic big or huge read latencies while reading the watchog/clocksource
during boot or when system is under stress work load, and the frequency and
maximum value of the latency goes up with the number of online CPUs.
The cCurrent code already has logic to detect and filter such high latency
case by reading the watchdog twice and checking the two deltas. Due to the
randomness of the latency, there is a low probabilty that the first delta
(latency) is big, but the second delta is small and looks valid. The
watchdog code retries the readouts by default twice, which is not
necessarily sufficient for systems with a large number of CPUs.
There is a command line parameter 'max_cswd_read_retries' which allows to
increase the number of retries, but that's not user friendly as it needs to
be tweaked per system. As the number of required retries is proportional to
the number of online CPUs, this parameter can be calculated at runtime.
Scale and enlarge the number of retries according to the number of online
CPUs and remove the command line parameter completely.
