Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
 "Almost all of MM here. A few things are still getting finished off,
  reviewed, etc.

   - Yang Shi has improved the behaviour of khugepaged collapsing of
     readonly file-backed transparent hugepages.

   - Johannes Weiner has arranged for zswap memory use to be tracked and
     managed on a per-cgroup basis.

   - Munchun Song adds a /proc knob ("hugetlb_optimize_vmemmap") for
     runtime enablement of the recent huge page vmemmap optimization
     feature.

   - Baolin Wang contributes a series to fix some issues around hugetlb
     pagetable invalidation.

   - Zhenwei Pi has fixed some interactions between hwpoisoned pages and
     virtualization.

   - Tong Tiangen has enabled the use of the presently x86-only
     page_table_check debugging feature on arm64 and riscv.

   - David Vernet has done some fixup work on the memcg selftests.

   - Peter Xu has taught userfaultfd to handle write protection faults
     against shmem- and hugetlbfs-backed files.

   - More DAMON development from SeongJae Park - adding online tuning of
     the feature and support for monitoring of fixed virtual address
     ranges. Also easier discovery of which monitoring operations are
     available.

   - Nadav Amit has done some optimization of TLB flushing during
     mprotect().

   - Neil Brown continues to labor away at improving our swap-over-NFS
     support.

   - David Hildenbrand has some fixes to anon page COWing versus
     get_user_pages().

   - Peng Liu fixed some errors in the core hugetlb code.

   - Joao Martins has reduced the amount of memory consumed by
     device-dax's compound devmaps.

   - Some cleanups of the arch-specific pagemap code from Anshuman
     Khandual.

   - Muchun Song has found and fixed some errors in the TLB flushing of
     transparent hugepages.

   - Roman Gushchin has done more work on the memcg selftests.

  ... and, of course, many smaller fixes and cleanups. Notably, the
  customary million cleanup serieses from Miaohe Lin"

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
 "Core
  ----

   - Support TCPv6 segmentation offload with super-segments larger than
     64k bytes using the IPv6 Jumbogram extension header (AKA BIG TCP).

   - Generalize skb freeing deferral to per-cpu lists, instead of
     per-socket lists.

   - Add a netdev statistic for packets dropped due to L2 address
     mismatch (rx_otherhost_dropped).

   - Continue work annotating skb drop reasons.

   - Accept alternative netdev names (ALT_IFNAME) in more netlink
     requests.

   - Add VLAN support for AF_PACKET SOCK_RAW GSO.

   - Allow receiving skb mark from the socket as a cmsg.

   - Enable memcg accounting for veth queues, sysctl tables and IPv6.

  BPF
  ---

   - Add libbpf support for User Statically-Defined Tracing (USDTs).

   - Speed up symbol resolution for kprobes multi-link attachments.

   - Support storing typed pointers to referenced and unreferenced
     objects in BPF maps.

   - Add support for BPF link iterator.

   - Introduce access to remote CPU map elements in BPF per-cpu map.

   - Allow middle-of-the-road settings for the
     kernel.unprivileged_bpf_disabled sysctl.

   - Implement basic types of dynamic pointers e.g. to allow for
     dynamically sized ringbuf reservations without extra memory copies.

  Protocols
  ---------

   - Retire port only listening_hash table, add a second bind table
     hashed by port and address. Avoid linear list walk when binding to
     very popular ports (e.g. 443).

   - Add bridge FDB bulk flush filtering support allowing user space to
     remove all FDB entries matching a condition.

   - Introduce accept_unsolicited_na sysctl for IPv6 to implement
     router-side changes for RFC9131.

   - Support for MPTCP path manager in user space.

   - Add MPTCP support for fallback to regular TCP for connections that
     have never connected additional subflows or transmitted
     out-of-sequence data (partial support for RFC8684 fallback).

   - Avoid races in MPTCP-level window tracking, stabilize and improve
     throughput.

   - Support lockless operation of GRE tunnels with seq numbers enabled.

   - WiFi support for host based BSS color collision detection.

   - Add support for SO_TXTIME/SCM_TXTIME on CAN sockets.

   - Support transmission w/o flow control in CAN ISOTP (ISO 15765-2).

   - Support zero-copy Tx with TLS 1.2 crypto offload (sendfile).

   - Allow matching on the number of VLAN tags via tc-flower.

   - Add tracepoint for tcp_set_ca_state().

  Driver API
  ----------

   - Improve error reporting from classifier and action offload.

   - Add support for listing line cards in switches (devlink).

   - Add helpers for reporting page pool statistics with ethtool -S.

   - Add support for reading clock cycles when using PTP virtual clocks,
     instead of having the driver convert to time before reporting. This
     makes it possible to report time from different vclocks.

   - Support configuring low-latency Tx descriptor push via ethtool.

   - Separate Clause 22 and Clause 45 MDIO accesses more explicitly.

39564c3fdc net: add skb_defer_max sysctl
commit 68822bdf76 ("net: generalize skb freeing
deferral to per-cpu lists") added another per-cpu
cache of skbs. It was expected to be small,
and an IPI was forced whenever the list reached 128
skbs.

We might need to be able to control more precisely
queue capacity and added latency.

An IPI is generated whenever queue reaches half capacity.

Default value of the new limit is 64.

78f39084b4 mm: hugetlb_vmemmap: add hugetlb_optimize_vmemmap sysctl
We must add hugetlb_free_vmemmap=on (or "off") to the boot cmdline and
reboot the server to enable or disable the feature of optimizing vmemmap
pages associated with HugeTLB pages.  However, rebooting usually takes a
long time.  So add a sysctl to enable or disable the feature at runtime
without rebooting.  Why we need this?  There are 3 use cases.

1) The feature of minimizing overhead of struct page associated with
   each HugeTLB is disabled by default without passing
   "hugetlb_free_vmemmap=on" to the boot cmdline.  When we (ByteDance)
   deliver the servers to the users who want to enable this feature, they
   have to configure the grub (change boot cmdline) and reboot the
   servers, whereas rebooting usually takes a long time (we have thousands
   of servers).  It's a very bad experience for the users.  So we need a
   approach to enable this feature after rebooting.  This is a use case in
   our practical environment.

2) Some use cases are that HugeTLB pages are allocated 'on the fly'
   instead of being pulled from the HugeTLB pool, those workloads would be
   affected with this feature enabled.  Those workloads could be
   identified by the characteristics of they never explicitly allocating
   huge pages with 'nr_hugepages' but only set 'nr_overcommit_hugepages'
   and then let the pages be allocated from the buddy allocator at fault
   time.  We can confirm it is a real use case from the commit
   099730d674.  For those workloads, the page fault time could be ~2x
   slower than before.  We suspect those users want to disable this
   feature if the system has enabled this before and they don't think the
   memory savings benefit is enough to make up for the performance drop.

3) If the workload which wants vmemmap pages to be optimized and the
   workload which wants to set 'nr_overcommit_hugepages' and does not want
   the extera overhead at fault time when the overcommitted pages be
   allocated from the buddy allocator are deployed in the same server. 
   The user could enable this feature and set 'nr_hugepages' and
   'nr_overcommit_hugepages', then disable the feature.  In this case, the
   overcommited HugeTLB pages will not encounter the extra overhead at
   fault time.

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
 "The sprinkling of SPI drivers is because we added a new one and Mark
  sent us a SPI driver interface conversion pull request.

  Core
  ----

   - Introduce XDP multi-buffer support, allowing the use of XDP with
     jumbo frame MTUs and combination with Rx coalescing offloads (LRO).

   - Speed up netns dismantling (5x) and lower the memory cost a little.
     Remove unnecessary per-netns sockets. Scope some lists to a netns.
     Cut down RCU syncing. Use batch methods. Allow netdev registration
     to complete out of order.

   - Support distinguishing timestamp types (ingress vs egress) and
     maintaining them across packet scrubbing points (e.g. redirect).

   - Continue the work of annotating packet drop reasons throughout the
     stack.

   - Switch netdev error counters from an atomic to dynamically
     allocated per-CPU counters.

   - Rework a few preempt_disable(), local_irq_save() and busy waiting
     sections problematic on PREEMPT_RT.

   - Extend the ref_tracker to allow catching use-after-free bugs.

  BPF
  ---

   - Introduce "packing allocator" for BPF JIT images. JITed code is
     marked read only, and used to be allocated at page granularity.
     Custom allocator allows for more efficient memory use, lower iTLB
     pressure and prevents identity mapping huge pages from getting
     split.

   - Make use of BTF type annotations (e.g. __user, __percpu) to enforce
     the correct probe read access method, add appropriate helpers.

   - Convert the BPF preload to use light skeleton and drop the
     user-mode-driver dependency.

   - Allow XDP BPF_PROG_RUN test infra to send real packets, enabling
     its use as a packet generator.

   - Allow local storage memory to be allocated with GFP_KERNEL if
     called from a hook allowed to sleep.

   - Introduce fprobe (multi kprobe) to speed up mass attachment (arch
     bits to come later).

   - Add unstable conntrack lookup helpers for BPF by using the BPF
     kfunc infra.

   - Allow cgroup BPF progs to return custom errors to user space.

   - Add support for AF_UNIX iterator batching.

   - Allow iterator programs to use sleepable helpers.

   - Support JIT of add, and, or, xor and xchg atomic ops on arm64.

   - Add BTFGen support to bpftool which allows to use CO-RE in kernels
     without BTF info.

   - Large number of libbpf API improvements, cleanups and deprecations.

  Protocols
  ---------

   - Micro-optimize UDPv6 Tx, gaining up to 5% in test on dummy netdev.

   - Adjust TSO packet sizes based on min_rtt, allowing very low latency
     links (data centers) to always send full-sized TSO super-frames.

   - Make IPv6 flow label changes (AKA hash rethink) more configurable,
     via sysctl and setsockopt. Distinguish between server and client
     behavior.

   - VxLAN support to "collect metadata" devices to terminate only
     configured VNIs. This is similar to VLAN filtering in the bridge.

   - Support inserting IPv6 IOAM information to a fraction of frames.

   - Add protocol attribute to IP addresses to allow identifying where
     given address comes from (kernel-generated, DHCP etc.)

   - Support setting socket and IPv6 options via cmsg on ping6 sockets.

   - Reject mis-use of ECN bits in IP headers as part of DSCP/TOS.
     Define dscp_t and stop taking ECN bits into account in fib-rules.

   - Add support for locked bridge ports (for 802.1X).

   - tun: support NAPI for packets received from batched XDP buffs,

8d470a45d1 panic: add option to dump all CPUs backtraces in panic_print
Currently the "panic_print" parameter/sysctl allows some interesting debug
information to be printed during a panic event.  This is useful for
example in cases the user cannot kdump due to resource limits, or if the
user collects panic logs in a serial output (or pstore) and prefers a fast
reboot instead of a kdump.

Happens that currently there's no way to see all CPUs backtraces in a
panic using "panic_print" on architectures that support that.  We do have
"oops_all_cpu_backtrace" sysctl, but although partially overlapping in the
functionality, they are orthogonal in nature: "panic_print" is a panic
tuning (and we have panics without oopses, like direct calls to panic() or
maybe other paths that don't go through oops_enter() function), and the
original purpose of "oops_all_cpu_backtrace" is to provide more
information on oopses for cases in which the users desire to continue
running the kernel even after an oops, i.e., used in non-panic scenarios.

So, we hereby introduce an additional bit for "panic_print" to allow
dumping the CPUs backtraces during a panic event.

a1ff1de00d docs: sysctl/kernel: add missing bit to panic_print
Patch series "Some improvements on panic_print".

This is a mix of a documentation fix with some additions to the
"panic_print" syscall / parameter.  The goal here is being able to collect
all CPUs backtraces during a panic event and also to enable "panic_print"
in a kdump event - details of the reasoning and design choices in the
patches.

This patch (of 3):

Commit de6da1e8bc ("panic: add an option to replay all the printk
message in buffer") added a new bit to the sysctl/kernel parameter
"panic_print", but the documentation was added only in
kernel-parameters.txt, not in the sysctl guide.

Fix it here by adding bit 5 to sysctl admin-guide documentation.

c574bbe917 NUMA balancing: optimize page placement for memory tiering system
With the advent of various new memory types, some machines will have
multiple types of memory, e.g.  DRAM and PMEM (persistent memory).  The
memory subsystem of these machines can be called memory tiering system,
because the performance of the different types of memory are usually
different.

In such system, because of the memory accessing pattern changing etc,
some pages in the slow memory may become hot globally.  So in this
patch, the NUMA balancing mechanism is enhanced to optimize the page
placement among the different memory types according to hot/cold
dynamically.

In a typical memory tiering system, there are CPUs, fast memory and slow
memory in each physical NUMA node.  The CPUs and the fast memory will be
put in one logical node (called fast memory node), while the slow memory
will be put in another (faked) logical node (called slow memory node).
That is, the fast memory is regarded as local while the slow memory is
regarded as remote.  So it's possible for the recently accessed pages in
the slow memory node to be promoted to the fast memory node via the
existing NUMA balancing mechanism.

The original NUMA balancing mechanism will stop to migrate pages if the
free memory of the target node becomes below the high watermark.  This
is a reasonable policy if there's only one memory type.  But this makes
the original NUMA balancing mechanism almost do not work to optimize
page placement among different memory types.  Details are as follows.

It's the common cases that the working-set size of the workload is
larger than the size of the fast memory nodes.  Otherwise, it's
unnecessary to use the slow memory at all.  So, there are almost always
no enough free pages in the fast memory nodes, so that the globally hot
pages in the slow memory node cannot be promoted to the fast memory
node.  To solve the issue, we have 2 choices as follows,

a. Ignore the free pages watermark checking when promoting hot pages
   from the slow memory node to the fast memory node.  This will
   create some memory pressure in the fast memory node, thus trigger
   the memory reclaiming.  So that, the cold pages in the fast memory
   node will be demoted to the slow memory node.

b. Define a new watermark called wmark_promo which is higher than
   wmark_high, and have kswapd reclaiming pages until free pages reach
   such watermark.  The scenario is as follows: when we want to promote
   hot-pages from a slow memory to a fast memory, but fast memory's free
   pages would go lower than high watermark with such promotion, we wake
   up kswapd with wmark_promo watermark in order to demote cold pages and
   free us up some space.  So, next time we want to promote hot-pages we
   might have a chance of doing so.

The choice "a" may create high memory pressure in the fast memory node.
If the memory pressure of the workload is high, the memory pressure
may become so high that the memory allocation latency of the workload
is influenced, e.g.  the direct reclaiming may be triggered.

The choice "b" works much better at this aspect.  If the memory
pressure of the workload is high, the hot pages promotion will stop
earlier because its allocation watermark is higher than that of the
normal memory allocation.  So in this patch, choice "b" is implemented.
A new zone watermark (WMARK_PROMO) is added.  Which is larger than the
high watermark and can be controlled via watermark_scale_factor.

In addition to the original page placement optimization among sockets,
the NUMA balancing mechanism is extended to be used to optimize page
placement according to hot/cold among different memory types.  So the
sysctl user space interface (numa_balancing) is extended in a backward
compatible way as follow, so that the users can enable/disable these
functionality individually.

The sysctl is converted from a Boolean value to a bits field.  The
definition of the flags is,

- 0: NUMA_BALANCING_DISABLED
- 1: NUMA_BALANCING_NORMAL
- 2: NUMA_BALANCING_MEMORY_TIERING

We have tested the patch with the pmbench memory accessing benchmark
with the 80:20 read/write ratio and the Gauss access address
distribution on a 2 socket Intel server with Optane DC Persistent
Memory Model.  The test results shows that the pmbench score can
improve up to 95.9%.

Thanks Andrew Morton to help fix the document format error.

where we were waking up after <= min rather than < min.

39c65a94cd mm/pagealloc: sysctl: change watermark_scale_factor max limit to 30%
For embedded systems with low total memory, having to run applications
with relatively large memory requirements, 10% max limitation for
watermark_scale_factor poses an issue of triggering direct reclaim every
time such application is started.  This results in slow application
startup times and bad end-user experience.

By increasing watermark_scale_factor max limit we allow vendors more
flexibility to choose the right level of kswapd aggressiveness for their
device and workload requirements.

e201260081 arm64: perf: Add userspace counter access disable switch
Like x86, some users may want to disable userspace PMU counter
altogether. Add a sysctl 'perf_user_access' file to control userspace
counter access. The default is '0' which is disabled. Writing '1'
enables access.

Note that x86 supports globally enabling user access by writing '2' to
/sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/rdpmc. As there's not existing
userspace support to worry about, this shouldn't be necessary for Arm.
It could be added later if the need arises.

0f60a29c52 docs: accounting: update delay-accounting.rst reference
The file name: accounting/delay-accounting.rst
should be, instead: Documentation/accounting/delay-accounting.rst.

Also, there's no need to use doc:`foo`, as automarkup.py will
automatically handle plain text mentions to Documentation/
files.

So, update its cross-reference accordingly.

Fixes: fcb5017045 ("delayacct: Document task_delayacct sysctl")
Fixes: c3123552aa ("docs: accounting: convert to ReST")
