Pull liveupdate updates from Mike Rapoport:
"Kexec Handover (KHO):
- make memory preservation compatible with deferred initialization
of the memory map
Live Update Orchestrator (LUO):
- add LIVEUPDATE_SESSION_GET_NAME ioctl and parameter verification
for LIVEUPDATE_IOCTL_CREATE_SESSION ioctl
- documentation updates for liveupdate=on command line option,
systemd support and the current compatibility status
- remove the fixed limits on the number of files that can be
preserved within a single session, and the total number of
sessions managed by the LUO
Misc fixes:
- reference count incoming File-Lifecycle-Bound (FLB) data so
it cannot be freed while a subsystem is still using it
- fixes for a TOCTOU race in luo_session_retrieve(), a use-
after-free in the file finish and unpreserve paths, concurrent
session mutations during reboot and serialization on
preserve_context kexec
- make sure ioctls for incoming LUO sessions are blocked for
outgoing sessions and vice versa

CMA_MIN_ALIGNMENT_BYTES

The "memfd Live Update ABI" section in include/linux/kho/abi/memfd.h
currently does not render in the exported documentation. This is because
it should not include the "DOC:" in its reference. Drop it to ensure
correct rendering. Tested by running make htmldocs.

This patch set introces a new action: DAMOS_COLLAPSE.
For DAMOS_HUGEPAGE and DAMOS_NOHUGEPAGE to work, khugepaged should be
working, since it relies on hugepage_madvise to add a new slot. This slot
should be picked up by khugepaged and eventually collapse (or not, if we
are using DAMOS_NOHUGEPAGE) the pages. If THP is not enabled, khugepaged
will not be working, and therefore no collapse will happen.
DAMOS_COLLAPSE eventually calls madvise_collapse, which will collapse the
address range synchronously. In cases where there is a large VMA
(databases, for example), DAMOS_COLLAPSE allows us to collapse only the
hot region, and not the entire VMA.
This new action may be required to support autotuning with hugepage
as a goal[1].
=========
Benchmarks:

Tests were performed in an ARM physical server with MariaDB 10.5 and
sysbench. Read only benchmark was perform with gaussian row hitting,
which follows a normal distribution.

=========
- We can see that DAMOS "hugepage" action works only when THP is set
to madvise. "collapse" action works even when THP is set to never.
- Performance for "collapse" action is slightly lower than "hugepage"
action and THP madvise. This is due to the fact that collapases
occur synchronously. With "hugepage" they may occur during page
faults.
- Memory consumption is slighly lower for "collapse" than "hugepage"
with THP madvise. This is due to the khugepage collapses all VMAs,
while "collapse" action only collapses the VMAs in the hot region.
- There is an improvement in TLB utilization when collapse through
"hugepage" or "collapse" actions are triggered. The amount of
TLB misses is lower.
- "collapse" action is performance synchronously, which means that
page collapses happen earlier and more rapidly. This can be
useful or not, depending on the scenario.
- "hugepage" action may trigger a VMA split in some scenarios, since
it needs to change the flag of the VMA to THP enabled. This may
lead to additional overhead.
Collapse action just adds a new option to chose the correct system
balance.

The current DAMON implementation requires 'min_nr_regions' to be at least
3. However, this constraint is not explicitly documented in the
admin-guide documents, nor is its design rationale explained in the design
document.
Add a section in design.rst to explain the rationale: the virtual address
space monitoring design needs to handle at least three regions to
accommodate two large unmapped areas. While this is specific to 'vaddr',
DAMON currently enforces it across all operation sets for consistency.
Also update reclaim.rst and lru_sort.rst by adding cross-references to
this constraint within their respective 'min_nr_regions' parameter
description sections, ensuring users are aware of the lower bound.
This change is motivated from a recent discussion [1].

MADV_HUGEPAGE and MADV_NOHUGEPAGE are guarded and they are not available
when compiling the kernel without TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE option. The DAMON
behaviour is to silently fail [1] in when DAMOS_HUGEPAGE or
DAMOS_NOHUGEPAGE are used, but TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE is disabled. Update
the DAMON documentation to reflect this behaviour.

The min_region_sz is set as max(DAMON_MIN_REGION_SZ / addr_unit, 1).
DAMON_MIN_REGION_SZ is the same to PAGE_SIZE, and addr_unit is what the
user can arbitrarily set. Commit c80f46ac228b ("mm/damon/core: disallow
non-power of two min_region_sz") made min_region_sz to always be a power
of two. Hence, addr_unit should be a power of two when it is smaller than
PAGE_SIZE. While 'addr_unit' is a user-exposed parameter, the rule is not
documented. This can confuse users. Specifically, if the user sets
addr_unit as a value that is smaller than PAGE_SIZE and not a power of
two, the setup will explicitly fail.
Document the rule on the design document. Usage documents reference the
design document for detail, so updating only the design document should
suffice.

Documentation/mm/hugetlbfs_reserv.rst has
if (resv_needed <= (resv_huge_pages - free_huge_pages))
resv_huge_pages += resv_needed;
which describes this code in gather_surplus_pages()
needed = (h->resv_huge_pages + delta) - h->free_huge_pages;
if (needed <= 0) {
h->resv_huge_pages += delta;
return 0;
}
which means if there are enough free hugepages to account for the new
reservation, simply update the global reservation count without
further action.
But the description is backwards, it should be
if (resv_needed <= (free_huge_pages - resv_huge_pages))
instead.

The 'compound_head' field in the 'struct page' encodes whether the page is
a tail and where to locate the head page. Bit 0 is set if the page is a
tail, and the remaining bits in the field point to the head page.
As preparation for changing how the field encodes information about the
head page, rename the field to 'compound_info'.
