While the GCC and Clang compilers already define __ASSEMBLER__
automatically when compiling assembly code, __ASSEMBLY__ is a
macro that only gets defined by the Makefiles in the kernel.
This can be very confusing when switching between userspace
and kernelspace coding, or when dealing with uapi headers that
rather should use __ASSEMBLER__ instead. So let's standardize now
on the __ASSEMBLER__ macro that is provided by the compilers.
This is a completely mechanical patch (done with a simple "sed -i"
statement).

- Add support for a lockless bitmap.
A key feature for the new bitmap are that the IO fastpath is
lockless. If a user issues lots of write IO to the same bitmap
bit in a short time, only the first write has additional overhead
to update bitmap bit, no additional overhead for the following
writes.
By supporting only resync or recover written data, means in the
case creating new array or replacing with a new disk, there is no
need to do a full disk resync/recovery.
- Switch ->getgeo() and ->bios_param() to using struct gendisk rather
than struct block_device.
- Rust block changes via Andreas. This series adds configuration via
configfs and remote completion to the rnull driver. The series also
includes a set of changes to the rust block device driver API: a few
cleanup patches, and a few features supporting the rnull changes.
The series removes the raw buffer formatting logic from
`kernel::block` and improves the logic available in `kernel::string`
to support the same use as the removed logic.
- floppy arch cleanups
- Reduce the number of dereferencing needed for ublk commands
- Restrict supported sockets for nbd. Mostly done to eliminate a class
of issues perpetually reported by syzbot, by using nonsensical socket
setups.
- A few s390 dasd block fixes
- Fix a few issues around atomic writes
- Improve DMA interation for integrity requests
- Improve how iovecs are treated with regards to O_DIRECT aligment
constraints.
We used to require each segment to adhere to the constraints, now
only the request as a whole needs to.
- Clean up and improve p2p support, enabling use of p2p for metadata
payloads
- Improve locking of request lookup, using SRCU where appropriate
- Use page references properly for brd, avoiding very long RCU sections

Way, way back it used to be
_PAGE_NORMAL((x) | ((x & _PAGE_FOW) ? 0 : _PAGE_FOW | _PAGE_COW))
Then (in 1.3.54) _PAGE_COW had died. Result:
_PAGE_NORMAL((x) | ((x & _PAGE_FOW) ? 0 : _PAGE_FOW))
which is somewhat... obscure. What it does is simply
_PAGE_NORMAL((x) | _PAGE_FOW)
and IMO that's easier to follow.

While tracking down a problem where constant expressions used by
BUILD_BUG_ON() suddenly stopped working[1], we found that an added static
initializer was convincing the compiler that it couldn't track the state
of the prior statically initialized value. Tracing this down found that
ffs() was used in the initializer macro, but since it wasn't marked with
__attribute__const__, the compiler had to assume the function might
change variable states as a side-effect (which is not true for ffs(),
which provides deterministic math results).
Add missing __attribute_const__ annotations to Alpha's implementations
of __ffs(), ffs(), fls64(), __fls(), fls(), and ffz() functions. These
are pure mathematical functions that always return the same result for
the same input with no side effects, making them eligible for compiler
optimization.
Build tested ARCH=alpha defconfig with GCC alpha-linux-gnu 14.2.0.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
"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.
"mm: ksm: prevent KSM from breaking merging of new VMAs" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
addresses an issue with KSM's PR_SET_MEMORY_MERGE mode: newly
mapped VMAs were not eligible for merging with existing adjacent
VMAs.
"mm/damon: introduce DAMON_STAT for simple and practical access monitoring" (SeongJae Park)
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.
"drivers/base/node.c: optimization and cleanups" (Donet Tom)
contains largely uncorrelated cleanups to the NUMA node setup and
management code.
"mm: userfaultfd: assorted fixes and cleanups" (Tal Zussman)
does some maintenance work on the userfaultfd code.
"Readahead tweaks for larger folios" (Ryan Roberts)
implements some tuneups for pagecache readahead when it is reading
into order>0 folios.
"selftests/mm: Tweaks to the cow test" (Mark Brown)
provides some cleanups and consistency improvements to the
selftests code.
"Optimize mremap() for large folios" (Dev Jain)
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().
"mm/huge_memory: vmf_insert_folio_*() and vmf_insert_pfn_pud() fixes" (David Hildenbrand)
addresses some warts which David noticed in the huge page code.
These were not known to be causing any issues at this time.
"mm/damon: use alloc_migrate_target() for DAMOS_MIGRATE_{HOT,COLD" (SeongJae Park)
provides some cleanup and consolidation work in DAMON.
"use vm_flags_t consistently" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
uses vm_flags_t in places where we were inappropriately using other
types.
"mm/memfd: Reserve hugetlb folios before allocation" (Vivek Kasireddy)
increases the reliability of large page allocation in the memfd
code.
"mm: Remove pXX_devmap page table bit and pfn_t type" (Alistair Popple)
removes several now-unneeded PFN_* flags.
"mm/damon: decouple sysfs from core" (SeongJae Park)
implememnts some cleanup and maintainability work in the DAMON
sysfs layer.
"madvise cleanup" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
does quite a lot of cleanup/maintenance work in the madvise() code.
"madvise anon_name cleanups" (Vlastimil Babka)
provides additional cleanups on top or Lorenzo's effort.
"Implement numa node notifier" (Oscar Salvador)
creates a standalone notifier for NUMA node memory state changes.
Previously these were lumped under the more general memory
on/offline notifier.
"Make MIGRATE_ISOLATE a standalone bit" (Zi Yan)
cleans up the pageblock isolation code and fixes a potential issue
which doesn't seem to cause any problems in practice.
"selftests/damon: add python and drgn based DAMON sysfs functionality tests" (SeongJae Park)
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.
"mm/damon: add trace events for auto-tuned monitoring intervals and DAMOS quota" (SeongJae Park)
adds some tracepoints to some DAMON auto-tuning code.
"mm/damon: fix misc bugs in DAMON modules" (SeongJae Park)
does that.
"mm/damon: misc cleanups" (SeongJae Park)
also does what it claims.
"mm: folio_pte_batch() improvements" (David Hildenbrand)
cleans up the large folio PTE batching code.
"mm/damon/vaddr: Allow interleaving in migrate_{hot,cold} actions" (SeongJae Park)
facilitates dynamic alteration of DAMON's inter-node allocation
policy.
"Remove unmap_and_put_page()" (Vishal Moola)
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.
"Some randome fixes and cleanups to swapfile" (Kemeng Shi)
does what is claims.
"mm: introduce snapshot_page" (Luiz Capitulino and David Hildenbrand)
provides (and uses) a means by which debug-style functions can grab
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)
extends the mremap() selftest in several ways, including adding
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"

CONFIG_ARCH_MODULE_NEEDS_WEAK_PER_CPU
Recently discovered this entry while checking kallsyms on ARM64:
ffff800083e509c0 D _shared_alloc_tag
If ARCH_NEEDS_WEAK_PER_CPU is not defined(it is only defined for s390 and
alpha architectures), there's no need to statically define the percpu
variable _shared_alloc_tag.
Therefore, we need to implement isolation for this purpose.
When building the core kernel code for s390 or alpha architectures,
ARCH_NEEDS_WEAK_PER_CPU remains undefined (as it is gated by #if
defined(MODULE)). However, when building modules for these architectures,
the macro is explicitly defined.
Therefore, we remove all instances of ARCH_NEEDS_WEAK_PER_CPU from the
code and introduced CONFIG_ARCH_MODULE_NEEDS_WEAK_PER_CPU to replace the
relevant logic. We can now conditionally define the perpcu variable
_shared_alloc_tag based on CONFIG_ARCH_MODULE_NEEDS_WEAK_PER_CPU. This
allows architectures (such as s390/alpha) that require weak definitions
for percpu variables in modules to include the definition, while others
can omit it via compile-time exclusion.

The only reason why alpha can't do what sparc et.al. are doing
is that include/asm-generic/param.h relies upon the value of HZ
set for userland header in uapi/asm/param.h being 100.
We need that value to define USER_HZ and we need that definition
to outlive the redefinition of HZ kernel-side. And alpha needs
it to be 1024, not 100 like everybody else.
So let's add __USER_HZ to uapi/asm-generic/param.h, defaulting to
100 and used to define HZ. That way include/asm-generic/param.h
can use that thing instead of open-coding it - it won't be affected
by undefining and redefining HZ.
That done, alpha asm/param.h can be removed and uapi/asm/param.h
switched to defining __USER_HZ and EXEC_PAGESIZE and then including
<asm-generic/param.h> - asm/param.h will resolve to uapi/asm/param.h,
which pulls <asm-generic/param.h>, which will do the right thing
both in the kernel and userland contexts.

Make pte_swp_exclusive return bool instead of int. This will better
reflect how pte_swp_exclusive is actually used in the code.
This fixes swap/swapoff problems on Alpha due pte_swp_exclusive not
returning correct values when _PAGE_SWP_EXCLUSIVE bit resides in upper
32-bits of PTE (like on alpha).

Alpha has custom definitions for ioread64()/iowrite64(), which now
don't exist in the lib/iomap.c variant. This is an endless source
of build failures, since alpha tries to share a couple of function

In [2] it was pointed out that parts of setarch weren't working
properly on alpha because it has it's own SET_PERSONALITY
implementation. In the discussion that followed Richard Henderson
pointed out that the 32bit pointer support for alpha was never
completed.
Fix this by removing alpha's 32bit pointer support.
As a bit of paranoia refuse to execute any alpha binaries that have
the EF_ALPHA_32BIT flag set. Just in case someone somewhere has
binaries that try to use alpha's 32bit pointer support.

The hugepage parameter was deprecated since commit ddc1a5cbc05d
("mempolicy: alloc_pages_mpol() for NUMA policy without vma"), for
PMD-sized THP, it still tries only preferred node if possible in
vma_alloc_folio() by checking the order of the folio allocation.

page_to_phys is duplicated by all architectures, and from some strange
reason placed in <asm/io.h> where it doesn't fit at all.
phys_to_page is only provided by a few architectures despite having a lot
of open coded users.
Provide generic versions in <asm-generic/memory_model.h> to make these
helpers more easily usable.
Note with this patch powerpc loses the CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL pfn_valid
check. It will be added back in a generic version later.

We used to generate different helpers for local and full
{cmp,}xchg(); these days the barriers are in arch_{cmp,}xchg()
instead and generated helpers are identical for local and
full cases. No need for those parametrized includes of
asm/xchg.h - we might as well insert its contents directly
in asm/cmpxchg.h and do it only once.

Compile-testing the crypto/caam driver on alpha showed a pre-existing
problem on alpha with iowrite64be() missing:
ERROR: modpost: "iowrite64be" [drivers/crypto/caam/caam_jr.ko] undefined!
The prototypes were added a while ago when we started using asm-generic/io.h,
but the implementation was still missing. At some point the ioread64/iowrite64
helpers were added, but the big-endian versions are still missing, and
the generic version (using readq/writeq) is would not work here.
Change it to wrap ioread64()/iowrite64() instead.
Fixes: beba3771d9e0 ("crypto: caam: Make CRYPTO_DEV_FSL_CAAM dependent of COMPILE_TEST")
Fixes: e19d4ebc536d ("alpha: add full ioread64/iowrite64 implementation")

All EV4 machines are already gone, and the remaining EV5 based machines
all support the slightly more modern EV56 generation as well.
Debian only supports EV56 and later.
Drop both of these and build kernels optimized for EV56 and higher
when the "generic" options is selected, tuning for an out-of-order
EV6 pipeline, same as Debian userspace.
Since this was the only supported architecture without 8-bit and
16-bit stores, common kernel code no longer has to worry about
aligning struct members, and existing workarounds from the block
and tty layers can be removed.
The alpha memory management code no longer needs an abstraction
for the differences between EV4 and EV5+.

APECS is the DECchip 21071x chipset for the EV4 and EV45 generation, while
LCA is the integrated I/O support on the corresponding low-cost alpha

All of these CPUs lack the BWX extension for byte and word access, so
