Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton: - The series "Enable strict percpu address space checks" from Uros Bizjak uses x86 named address space qualifiers to provide compile-time checking of percpu area accesses. This has caused a small amount of fallout - two or three issues were reported. In all cases the calling code was found to be incorrect. - The series "Some cleanup for memcg" from Chen Ridong implements some relatively monir cleanups for the memcontrol code. - The series "mm: fixes for device-exclusive entries (hmm)" from David Hildenbrand fixes a boatload of issues which David found then using device-exclusive PTE entries when THP is enabled. More work is needed, but this makes thins better - our own HMM selftests now succeed. - The series "mm: zswap: remove z3fold and zbud" from Yosry Ahmed remove the z3fold and zbud implementations. They have been deprecated for half a year and nobody has complained. - The series "mm: further simplify VMA merge operation" from Lorenzo Stoakes implements numerous simplifications in this area. No runtime effects are anticipated. - The series "mm/madvise: remove redundant mmap_lock operations from process_madvise()" from SeongJae Park rationalizes the locking in the madvise() implementation. Performance gains of 20-25% were observed in one MADV_DONTNEED microbenchmark. - The series "Tiny cleanup and improvements about SWAP code" from Baoquan He contains a number of touchups to issues which Baoquan noticed when working on the swap code. - The series "mm: kmemleak: Usability improvements" from Catalin Marinas implements a couple of improvements to the kmemleak user-visible output. - The series "mm/damon/paddr: fix large folios access and schemes handling" from Usama Arif provides a couple of fixes for DAMON's handling of large folios. - The series "mm/damon/core: fix wrong and/or useless damos_walk() behaviors" from SeongJae Park fixes a few issues with the accuracy of kdamond's walking of DAMON regions. - The series "expose mapping wrprotect, fix fb_defio use" from Lorenzo Stoakes changes the interaction between framebuffer deferred-io and core MM. No functional changes are anticipated - this is preparatory work for the future removal of page structure fields. - The series "mm/damon: add support for hugepage_size DAMOS filter" from Usama Arif adds a DAMOS filter which permits the filtering by huge page sizes. - The series "mm: permit guard regions for file-backed/shmem mappings" from Lorenzo Stoakes extends the guard region feature from its present "anon mappings only" state. The feature now covers shmem and file-backed mappings. - The series "mm: batched unmap lazyfree large folios during reclamation" from Barry Song cleans up and speeds up the unmapping for pte-mapped large folios. - The series "reimplement per-vma lock as a refcount" from Suren Baghdasaryan puts the vm_lock back into the vma. Our reasons for pulling it out were largely bogus and that change made the code more messy. This patchset provides small (0-10%) improvements on one microbenchmark. - The series "Docs/mm/damon: misc DAMOS filters documentation fixes and improves" from SeongJae Park does some maintenance work on the DAMON docs. - The series "hugetlb/CMA improvements for large systems" from Frank van der Linden addresses a pile of issues which have been observed when using CMA on large machines. - The series "mm/damon: introduce DAMOS filter type for unmapped pages" from SeongJae Park enables users of DMAON/DAMOS to filter my the page's mapped/unmapped status. - The series "zsmalloc/zram: there be preemption" from Sergey Senozhatsky teaches zram to run its compression and decompression operations preemptibly. - The series "selftests/mm: Some cleanups from trying to run them" from Brendan Jackman fixes a pile of unrelated issues which Brendan encountered while runnimg our selftests. - The series "fs/proc/task_mmu: add guard region bit to pagemap" from Lorenzo Stoakes permits userspace to use /proc/pid/pagemap to determine whether a particular page is a guard page. - The series "mm, swap: remove swap slot cache" from Kairui Song removes the swap slot cache from the allocation path - it simply wasn't being effective. - The series "mm: cleanups for device-exclusive entries (hmm)" from David Hildenbrand implements a number of unrelated cleanups in this code. - The series "mm: Rework generic PTDUMP configs" from Anshuman Khandual implements a number of preparatoty cleanups to the GENERIC_PTDUMP Kconfig logic. - The series "mm/damon: auto-tune aggregation interval" from SeongJae Park implements a feedback-driven automatic tuning feature for DAMON's aggregation interval tuning. - The series "Fix lazy mmu mode" from Ryan Roberts fixes some issues in powerpc, sparc and x86 lazy MMU implementations. Ryan did this in preparation for implementing lazy mmu mode for arm64 to optimize vmalloc. - The series "mm/page_alloc: Some clarifications for migratetype fallback" from Brendan Jackman reworks some commentary to make the code easier to follow. - The series "page_counter cleanup and size reduction" from Shakeel Butt cleans up the page_counter code and fixes a size increase which we accidentally added late last year. - The series "Add a command line option that enables control of how many threads should be used to allocate huge pages" from Thomas Prescher does that. It allows the careful operator to significantly reduce boot time by tuning the parallalization of huge page initialization. - The series "Fix calculations in trace_balance_dirty_pages() for cgwb" from Tang Yizhou fixes the tracing output from the dirty page balancing code. - The series "mm/damon: make allow filters after reject filters useful and intuitive" from SeongJae Park improves the handling of allow and reject filters. Behaviour is made more consistent and the documention is updated accordingly. - The series "Switch zswap to object read/write APIs" from Yosry Ahmed updates zswap to the new object read/write APIs and thus permits the removal of some legacy code from zpool and zsmalloc. - The series "Some trivial cleanups for shmem" from Baolin Wang does as it claims. - The series "fs/dax: Fix ZONE_DEVICE page reference counts" from Alistair Popple regularizes the weird ZONE_DEVICE page refcount handling in DAX, permittig the removal of a number of special-case checks. - The series "refactor mremap and fix bug" from Lorenzo Stoakes is a preparatoty refactoring and cleanup of the mremap() code. - The series "mm: MM owner tracking for large folios (!hugetlb) + CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT" from David Hildenbrand reworks the manner in which we determine whether a large folio is known to be mapped exclusively into a single MM. - The series "mm/damon: add sysfs dirs for managing DAMOS filters based on handling layers" from SeongJae Park adds a couple of new sysfs directories to ease the management of DAMON/DAMOS filters. - The series "arch, mm: reduce code duplication in mem_init()" from Mike Rapoport consolidates many per-arch implementations of mem_init() into code generic code, where that is practical. - The series "mm/damon/sysfs: commit parameters online via damon_call()" from SeongJae Park continues the cleaning up of sysfs access to DAMON internal data. - The series "mm: page_ext: Introduce new iteration API" from Luiz Capitulino reworks the page_ext initialization to fix a boot-time crash which was observed with an unusual combination of compile and cmdline options. - The series "Buddy allocator like (or non-uniform) folio split" from Zi Yan reworks the code to split a folio into smaller folios. The main benefit is lessened memory consumption: fewer post-split folios are generated. - The series "Minimize xa_node allocation during xarry split" from Zi Yan reduces the number of xarray xa_nodes which are generated during an xarray split. - The series "drivers/base/memory: Two cleanups" from Gavin Shan performs some maintenance work on the drivers/base/memory code. - The series "Add tracepoints for lowmem reserves, watermarks and totalreserve_pages" from Martin Liu adds some more tracepoints to the page allocator code. - The series "mm/madvise: cleanup requests validations and classifications" from SeongJae Park cleans up some warts which SeongJae observed during his earlier madvise work. - The series "mm/hwpoison: Fix regressions in memory failure handling" from Shuai Xue addresses two quite serious regressions which Shuai has observed in the memory-failure implementation. - The series "mm: reliable huge page allocator" from Johannes Weiner makes huge page allocations cheaper and more reliable by reducing fragmentation. - The series "Minor memcg cleanups & prep for memdescs" from Matthew Wilcox is preparatory work for the future implementation of memdescs. - The series "track memory used by balloon drivers" from Nico Pache introduces a way to track memory used by our various balloon drivers. - The series "mm/damon: introduce DAMOS filter type for active pages" from Nhat Pham permits users to filter for active/inactive pages, separately for file and anon pages. - The series "Adding Proactive Memory Reclaim Statistics" from Hao Jia separates the proactive reclaim statistics from the direct reclaim statistics. - The series "mm/vmscan: don't try to reclaim hwpoison folio" from Jinjiang Tu fixes our handling of hwpoisoned pages within the reclaim code. * tag 'mm-stable-2025-03-30-16-52' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm: (431 commits) mm/page_alloc: remove unnecessary __maybe_unused in order_to_pindex() x86/mm: restore early initialization of high_memory for 32-bits mm/vmscan: don't try to reclaim hwpoison folio mm/hwpoison: introduce folio_contain_hwpoisoned_page() helper cgroup: docs: add pswpin and pswpout items in cgroup v2 doc mm: vmscan: split proactive reclaim statistics from direct reclaim statistics selftests/mm: speed up split_huge_page_test selftests/mm: uffd-unit-tests support for hugepages > 2M docs/mm/damon/design: document active DAMOS filter type mm/damon: implement a new DAMOS filter type for active pages fs/dax: don't disassociate zero page entries MM documentation: add "Unaccepted" meminfo entry selftests/mm: add commentary about 9pfs bugs fork: use __vmalloc_node() for stack allocation docs/mm: Physical Memory: Populate the "Zones" section xen: balloon: update the NR_BALLOON_PAGES state hv_balloon: update the NR_BALLOON_PAGES state balloon_compaction: update the NR_BALLOON_PAGES state meminfo: add a per node counter for balloon drivers mm: remove references to folio in __memcg_kmem_uncharge_page() ...

Pull irq driver updates from Thomas Gleixner: - Support for hard indices on RISC-V. The hart index identifies a hart (core) within a specific interrupt domain in RISC-V's Priviledged Architecture. - Rework of the RISC-V MSI driver This moves the driver over to the generic MSI library and solves the affinity problem of unmaskable PCI/MSI controllers. Unmaskable PCI/MSI controllers are prone to lose interrupts when the MSI message is updated to change the affinity because the message write consists of three 32-bit subsequent writes, which update address and data. As these writes are non-atomic versus the device raising an interrupt, the device can observe a half written update and issue an interrupt on the wrong vector. This is mitiated by a carefully orchestrated step by step update and the observation of an eventually pending interrupt on the CPU which issues the update. The algorithm follows the well established method of the X86 MSI driver. - A new driver for the RISC-V Sophgo SG2042 MSI controller - Overhaul of the Renesas RZQ2L driver Simplification of the probe function by using devm_*() mechanisms, which avoid the endless list of error prone gotos in the failure paths. - Expand the Renesas RZV2H driver to support RZ/G3E SoCs - A workaround for Rockchip 3568002 erratum in the GIC-V3 driver to ensure that the addressing is limited to the lower 32-bit of the physical address space. - Add support for the Allwinner AS23 NMI controller - Expand the IMX irqsteer driver to handle up to 960 input interrupts - The usual small updates, cleanups and device tree changes * tag 'irq-drivers-2025-03-23' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (40 commits) irqchip/imx-irqsteer: Support up to 960 input interrupts irqchip/sunxi-nmi: Support Allwinner A523 NMI controller dt-bindings: irq: sun7i-nmi: Document the Allwinner A523 NMI controller irqchip/davinci-cp-intc: Remove public header irqchip/renesas-rzv2h: Add RZ/G3E support irqchip/renesas-rzv2h: Update macros ICU_TSSR_TSSEL_{MASK,PREP} irqchip/renesas-rzv2h: Update TSSR_TIEN macro irqchip/renesas-rzv2h: Add field_width to struct rzv2h_hw_info irqchip/renesas-rzv2h: Add max_tssel to struct rzv2h_hw_info irqchip/renesas-rzv2h: Add struct rzv2h_hw_info with t_offs variable irqchip/renesas-rzv2h: Use devm_pm_runtime_enable() irqchip/renesas-rzv2h: Use devm_reset_control_get_exclusive_deasserted() irqchip/renesas-rzv2h: Simplify rzv2h_icu_init() irqchip/renesas-rzv2h: Drop irqchip from struct rzv2h_icu_priv irqchip/renesas-rzv2h: Fix wrong variable usage in rzv2h_tint_set_type() dt-bindings: interrupt-controller: renesas,rzv2h-icu: Document RZ/G3E SoC riscv: sophgo: dts: Add msi controller for SG2042 irqchip: Add the Sophgo SG2042 MSI interrupt controller dt-bindings: interrupt-controller: Add Sophgo SG2042 MSI arm64: dts: rockchip: rk356x: Move PCIe MSI to use GIC ITS instead of MBI ...

arm64/boot: Enable EL2 requirements for FEAT_PMUv3p9

2025-03-11T16:57:28Z

FEAT_PMUv3p9 registers such as PMICNTR_EL0, PMICFILTR_EL0, and PMUACR_EL1 access from EL1 requires appropriate EL2 fine grained trap configuration via FEAT_FGT2 based trap control registers HDFGRTR2_EL2 and HDFGWTR2_EL2. Otherwise such register accesses will result in traps into EL2. Add a new helper __init_el2_fgt2() which initializes FEAT_FGT2 based fine grained trap control registers HDFGRTR2_EL2 and HDFGWTR2_EL2 (setting the bits nPMICNTR_EL0, nPMICFILTR_EL0 and nPMUACR_EL1) to enable access into PMICNTR_EL0, PMICFILTR_EL0, and PMUACR_EL1 registers. Also update booting.rst with SCR_EL3.FGTEn2 requirement for all FEAT_FGT2 based registers to be accessible in EL2.

irqchip/gic-v3: Add Rockchip 3568002 erratum workaround

2025-02-21T08:58:07Z

Rockchip RK3566/RK3568 GIC600 integration has DDR addressing limited to the first 32bit of physical address space. Rockchip assigned Erratum ID #3568002 for this issue. Add driver quirk for this Rockchip GIC Erratum. Note, that the 0x0201743b GIC600 ID is not Rockchip-specific and is common for many ARM GICv3 implementations.
