Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
 "Most of the MM queue. A few things are still pending.

  Liam's maple tree rework didn't make it. This has resulted in a few
  other minor patch series being held over for next time.

  Multi-gen LRU still isn't merged as we were waiting for mapletree to
  stabilize. The current plan is to merge MGLRU into -mm soon and to
  later reintroduce mapletree, with a view to hopefully getting both
  into 6.1-rc1.

  Summary:

   - The usual batches of cleanups from Baoquan He, Muchun Song, Miaohe
     Lin, Yang Shi, Anshuman Khandual and Mike Rapoport

   - Some kmemleak fixes from Patrick Wang and Waiman Long

   - DAMON updates from SeongJae Park

   - memcg debug/visibility work from Roman Gushchin

   - vmalloc speedup from Uladzislau Rezki

   - more folio conversion work from Matthew Wilcox

   - enhancements for coherent device memory mapping from Alex Sierra

   - addition of shared pages tracking and CoW support for fsdax, from
     Shiyang Ruan

   - hugetlb optimizations from Mike Kravetz

   - Mel Gorman has contributed some pagealloc changes to improve
     latency and realtime behaviour.

   - mprotect soft-dirty checking has been improved by Peter Xu

   - Many other singleton patches all over the place"

Pull RCU updates from Paul McKenney:

 - Documentation updates

 - Miscellaneous fixes

 - Callback-offload updates, perhaps most notably a new
   RCU_NOCB_CPU_DEFAULT_ALL Kconfig option that causes all CPUs to be
   offloaded at boot time, regardless of kernel boot parameters.

   This is useful to battery-powered systems such as ChromeOS and
   Android. In addition, a new RCU_NOCB_CPU_CB_BOOST kernel boot
   parameter prevents offloaded callbacks from interfering with
   real-time workloads and with energy-efficiency mechanisms

 - Polled grace-period updates, perhaps most notably making these APIs
   account for both normal and expedited grace periods

 - Tasks RCU updates, perhaps most notably reducing the CPU overhead of
   RCU tasks trace grace periods by more than a factor of two on a
   system with 15,000 tasks.

   The reduction is expected to increase with the number of tasks, so it
   seems reasonable to hypothesize that a system with 150,000 tasks
   might see a 20-fold reduction in CPU overhead

 - Torture-test updates

 - Updates that merge RCU's dyntick-idle tracking into context tracking,
   thus reducing the overhead of transitioning to kernel mode from
   either idle or nohz_full userspace execution for kernels that track
   context independently of RCU.

   This is expected to be helpful primarily for kernels built with
   CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y

Pull RCU fix from Paul McKenney:
 "This contains a pair of commits that fix 282d8998e997 ("srcu: Prevent
  expedited GPs and blocking readers from consuming CPU"), which was
  itself a fix to an SRCU expedited grace-period problem that could
  prevent kernel live patching (KLP) from completing.

  That SRCU fix for KLP introduced large (as in minutes) boot-time
  delays to embedded Linux kernels running on qemu/KVM. These delays
  were due to the emulation of certain MMIO operations controlling
  memory layout, which were emulated with one expedited grace period per
  access. Common configurations required thousands of boot-time MMIO
  accesses, and thus thousands of boot-time expedited SRCU grace
  periods.

  In these configurations, the occasional sleeps that allowed KLP to
  proceed caused excessive boot delays. These commits preserve enough
  sleeps to permit KLP to proceed, but few enough that the virtual
  embedded kernels still boot reasonably quickly.

  This represents a regression introduced in the v5.19 merge window, and
  the bug is causing significant inconvenience"

<title>rcu: Add irqs-disabled indicator to expedited RCU CPU stall warnings</title>

<id>urn:sha1:28787e04fb67963673cbe6f77fb27137eba42718</id>
<content type='text'>
If a CPU has interrupts disabled continuously starting before the
beginning of a given expedited RCU grace period, that CPU will not
execute that grace period's IPI handler.  This will in turn mean
that the -&gt;cpu_no_qs.b.exp field in that CPU's rcu_data structure
will continue to contain the boolean value false.

Knowing whether or not a CPU has had interrupts disabled can be helpful
when debugging an expedited RCU CPU stall warning, so this commit
adds a "D" indicator expedited RCU CPU stall warnings that signifies
that the corresponding CPU has had interrupts disabled throughout.

This capability was tested as follows:

runqemu kvm slirp nographic qemuparams="-m 4096 -smp 4"  bootparams=
"isolcpus=2,3 nohz_full=2,3 rcu_nocbs=2,3 rcutree.dump_tree=1
rcutorture.stall_cpu_holdoff=30 rcutorture.stall_cpu=40
rcutorture.stall_cpu_irqsoff=1 rcutorture.stall_cpu_block=0
rcutorture.stall_no_softlockup=1" -d

The rcu_torture_stall() function ran on CPU 1, which displays the "D"
as expected given the rcutorture.stall_cpu_irqsoff=1 module parameter:

............
rcu: INFO: rcu_preempt detected expedited stalls on CPUs/tasks:
{ 1-...D } 26467 jiffies s: 13317 root: 0x1/.
rcu: blocking rcu_node structures (internal RCU debug): l=1:0-1:0x2/.

<content type='text'>
When a normal RCU CPU stall warning is encountered with the
panic_on_rcu_stall sysfs variable is set, the system panics only after
the stall warning is printed.  But when an expedited RCU CPU stall
warning is encountered with the panic_on_rcu_stall sysfs variable is
set, the system panics first, thus never printing the stall warning.
This commit therefore brings the expedited stall warning into line with
the normal stall warning by printing first and panicking afterwards.
