[ Upstream commit 6b219431037bf98c9efd49716aea9b68440477a3 ]
In order to debug the kernel successfully with gdb you need to run
'make scripts_gdb' nowadays.
This was changed with the following commit:
Commit 67274c0834 ("scripts/gdb: delay generation of gdb
constants.py")
In order to have a complete guide for beginners this remark
should be added to the offial documentation.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
- Yu Zhao's Multi-Gen LRU patches are here. They've been under test in
linux-next for a couple of months without, to my knowledge, any
negative reports (or any positive ones, come to that).
- Also the Maple Tree from Liam Howlett. An overlapping range-based
tree for vmas. It it apparently slightly more efficient in its own
right, but is mainly targeted at enabling work to reduce mmap_lock
contention.
Liam has identified a number of other tree users in the kernel which
could be beneficially onverted to mapletrees.
Yu Zhao has identified a hard-to-hit but "easy to fix" lockdep splat
at [1]. This has yet to be addressed due to Liam's unfortunately
timed vacation. He is now back and we'll get this fixed up.
- Dmitry Vyukov introduces KMSAN: the Kernel Memory Sanitizer. It uses
clang-generated instrumentation to detect used-unintialized bugs down
to the single bit level.
KMSAN keeps finding bugs. New ones, as well as the legacy ones.
- Yang Shi adds a userspace mechanism (madvise) to induce a collapse of
memory into THPs.
- Zach O'Keefe has expanded Yang Shi's madvise(MADV_COLLAPSE) to
support file/shmem-backed pages.
- userfaultfd updates from Axel Rasmussen
- zsmalloc cleanups from Alexey Romanov
- cleanups from Miaohe Lin: vmscan, hugetlb_cgroup, hugetlb and
memory-failure
- Huang Ying adds enhancements to NUMA balancing memory tiering mode's
page promotion, with a new way of detecting hot pages.
- memcg updates from Shakeel Butt: charging optimizations and reduced
memory consumption.

- Vishal Moola provides more folio conversions
- Zhang Yi removed ll_rw_block() :(

kunit_tool's --alltests option was changed in commit
980ac3ad05 ("kunit: tool: rename all_test_uml.config, use it for --alltests")
to use a manually curated list of architecture-indpendent Kconfig
options, rather than attempting to use make allyesconfig on UML, which
was broken.
Update the kunit_tool documentation to reflect the new behaviour of
--alltests.

"Several documentation fixes, UML related cleanups, and a feature to
enable/disable KUnit tests
This includes the change to rename all_test_uml.config, and use it for
'--alltests'. Note: if anyone was using all_tests_uml.config, this
change breaks them.
This change simplifies the usage and eliminates the need to type:
--kunitconfig=tools/testing/kunit/configs/all_tests_uml.config
A simple workaround to create a symlink to the new name can solve the
problem for anyone using all_tests_uml.config.

The numbered list contains full path to every files that need to be
modified or created in order to implement misc-example kunit test.
Except for .kunitconfig. Which might make a newcommer confused about
where the file exists. Since there are multiple .kunitconfig files.
Fix this by using the full path to .kunitconfig.

"Most of the MM queue. A few things are still pending.
Liam's maple tree rework didn't make it. This has resulted in a few
other minor patch series being held over for next time.
Multi-gen LRU still isn't merged as we were waiting for mapletree to
stabilize. The current plan is to merge MGLRU into -mm soon and to
later reintroduce mapletree, with a view to hopefully getting both
into 6.1-rc1.
