Pull drm updates from Dave Airlie: "This contains two major new drivers: - imagination is a first driver for Imagination Technologies devices, it only covers very specific devices, but there is hope to grow it - xe is a reboot of the i915 GPU (shares display) side using a more upstream focused development model, and trying to maximise code sharing. It's not enabled for any hw by default, and will hopefully get switched on for Intel's Lunarlake. This also drops a bunch of the old UMS ioctls. It's been dead long enough. amdgpu has a bunch of new color management code that is being used in the Steam Deck. amdgpu also has a new ACPI WBRF interaction to help avoid radio interference. Otherwise it's the usual lots of changes in lots of places. Detailed summary: new drivers: - imagination - new driver for Imagination Technologies GPU - xe - new driver for Intel GPUs using core drm concepts core: - add CLOSE_FB ioctl - remove old UMS ioctls - increase max objects to accomodate AMD color mgmt encoder: - create per-encoder debugfs directory edid: - split out drm_eld - SAD helpers - drop edid_firmware module parameter format-helper: - cache format conversion buffers sched: -

Pull documentation update from Jonathan Corbet: "Another moderately busy cycle for documentation, including: - The minimum Sphinx requirement has been raised to 2.4.4, following a warning that was added in 6.2 - Some reworking of the Documentation/process front page to, hopefully, make it more useful - Various kernel-doc tweaks to, for example, make it deal properly with __counted_by annotations - We have also restored a warning for documentation of nonexistent structure members that disappeared a while back. That had the delightful consequence of adding some 600 warnings to the docs build. A sustained effort by Randy, Vegard, and myself has addressed almost all of those, bringing the documentation back into sync with the code. The fixes are going through the appropriate maintainer trees - Various improvements to the HTML rendered docs, including automatic links to Git revisions and a nice new pulldown to make translations easy to access - Speaking of translations, more of those for Spanish and Chinese ... plus the usual stream of documentation updates and typo fixes" * tag 'docs-6.8' of git://git.lwn.net/linux: (57 commits) MAINTAINERS: use tabs for indent of CONFIDENTIAL COMPUTING THREAT MODEL A reworked process/index.rst ring-buffer/Documentation: Add documentation on buffer_percent file Translated the RISC-V architecture boot documentation.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton: "Many singleton patches against the MM code. The patch series which are included in this merge do the following: - Peng Zhang has done some mapletree maintainance work in the series 'maple_tree: add mt_free_one() and mt_attr() helpers' 'Some cleanups of maple tree' - In the series 'mm: use memmap_on_memory semantics for dax/kmem' Vishal Verma has altered the interworking between memory-hotplug and dax/kmem so that newly added 'device memory' can more easily have its memmap placed within that newly added memory. - Matthew Wilcox continues folio-related work (including a few fixes) in the patch series 'Add folio_zero_tail() and folio_fill_tail()' 'Make folio_start_writeback return void' 'Fix fault handler's handling of poisoned tail pages' 'Convert aops->error_remove_page to ->error_remove_folio' 'Finish two folio conversions' 'More swap folio conversions' - Kefeng Wang has also contributed folio-related work in the series 'mm: cleanup and use more folio in page fault' - Jim Cromie has improved the kmemleak reporting output in the series 'tweak kmemleak report format'. - In the series 'stackdepot: allow evicting stack traces' Andrey Konovalov to permits clients (in this case KASAN) to cause eviction of no longer needed stack traces. - Charan Teja Kalla has fixed some accounting issues in the page allocator's atomic reserve calculations in the series 'mm: page_alloc: fixes for high atomic reserve caluculations'. - Dmitry Rokosov has added to the samples/ dorectory some sample code for a userspace memcg event listener application. See the series 'samples: introduce cgroup events listeners'. - Some mapletree maintanance work from Liam Howlett in the series 'maple_tree: iterator state changes'. - Nhat Pham has improved zswap's approach to writeback in the series 'workload-specific and memory pressure-driven zswap writeback'. - DAMON/DAMOS feature and maintenance work from SeongJae Park in the series 'mm/damon: let users feed and tame/auto-tune DAMOS' 'selftests/damon: add Python-written DAMON functionality tests' 'mm/damon: misc updates for 6.8' - Yosry Ahmed has improved memcg's stats flushing in the series 'mm: memcg: subtree stats flushing and thresholds'. - In the series 'Multi-size THP for anonymous memory' Ryan Roberts has added a runtime opt-in feature to transparent hugepages which improves performance by allocating larger chunks of memory during anonymous page faults. - Matthew Wilcox has also contributed some cleanup and maintenance work against eh buffer_head code int he series 'More buffer_head cleanups'. - Suren Baghdasaryan has done work on Andrea Arcangeli's series 'userfaultfd move option'. UFFDIO_MOVE permits userspace heap compaction algorithms to move userspace's pages around rather than UFFDIO_COPY'a alloc/copy/free. - Stefan Roesch has developed a 'KSM Advisor', in the series 'mm/ksm: Add ksm advisor'. This is a governor which tunes KSM's scanning aggressiveness in response to userspace's current needs. - Chengming Zhou has optimized zswap's temporary working memory use in the series 'mm/zswap: dstmem reuse optimizations and cleanups'. - Matthew Wilcox has performed some maintenance work on the writeback code, both code and within filesystems.

mm/slab, docs: switch mm-api docs generation from slab.c to slub.c

2023-12-05T10:11:34Z

The SLAB implementation is going to be removed, and mm-api.rst currently uses mm/slab.c to obtain kerneldocs for some API functions. Switch it to mm/slub.c and move the relevant kerneldocs of exported functions from one to the other. The rest of kerneldocs in slab.c is for static SLAB implementation-specific functions that don't have counterparts in slub.c and thus can be simply removed with the implementation.
