ASoC: Fixes for v6.12
A bunch of fixes here that came in during the merge window and the first week of release, plus some new quirks and device IDs. There's nothing major here, it's a bit bigger than it might've been due to there being no fixes sent during the merge window due to your vacation.

Merge tag 'mm-stable-2024-09-20-02-31' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm
Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton: "Along with the usual shower of singleton patches, notable patch series in this pull request are:
- "Align kvrealloc() with krealloc()" from Danilo Krummrich. Adds consistency to the APIs and behaviour of these two core allocation functions. This also simplifies/enables Rustification.
- "Some cleanups for shmem" from Baolin Wang. No functional changes - mode code reuse, better function naming, logic simplifications.
- "mm: some small page fault cleanups" from Josef Bacik. No functional changes - code cleanups only.
- "Various memory tiering fixes" from Zi Yan. A small fix and a little cleanup.
- "mm/swap: remove boilerplate" from Yu Zhao. Code cleanups and simplifications and .text shrinkage.

$ grep kstack /proc/vmstat kstack_1k 3 kstack_2k 188 kstack_4k 11391 kstack_8k 243 kstack_16k 0
which tells us that 11391 processes used 4k of stack while none at all used 16k. Useful for some system tuning things, but partivularly useful for "the dynamic kernel stack project".
- "kmemleak: support for percpu memory leak detect" from Pavel Tikhomirov. Teaches kmemleak to detect leaksage of percpu memory.
- "mm: memcg: page counters optimizations" from Roman Gushchin. "3 independent small optimizations of page counters".
- "mm: split PTE/PMD PT table Kconfig cleanups+clarifications" from David Hildenbrand. Improves PTE/PMD splitlock detection, makes powerpc/8xx work correctly by design rather than by accident.
- "mm: remove arch_make_page_accessible()" from David Hildenbrand. Some folio conversions which make arch_make_page_accessible() unneeded.
- "mm, memcg: cg2 memory{.swap,}.peak write handlers" fro David Finkel. Cleans up and fixes our handling of the resetting of the cgroup/process peak-memory-use detector.
- "Make core VMA operations internal and testable" from Lorenzo Stoakes. Rationalizaion and encapsulation of the VMA manipulation APIs. With a view to better enable testing of the VMA functions, even from a userspace-only harness.
- "mm: zswap: fixes for global shrinker" from Takero Funaki. Fix issues in the zswap global shrinker, resulting in improved performance.
- "mm: print the promo watermark in zoneinfo" from Kaiyang Zhao. Fill in some missing info in /proc/zoneinfo.

- "improving dynamic zswap shrinker protection scheme" from Nhat Pham. Some tuning to improve zswap's dynamic shrinker. Significant reductions in swapin and improvements in performance are shown.
- "mm: Fix several issues with unaccepted memory" from Kirill Shutemov. Improvements to the new unaccepted memory feature,
- "mm/mprotect: Fix dax puds" from Peter Xu. Implements mprotect on DAX PUDs. This was missing, although nobody seems to have notied yet.
- "Introduce a store type enum for the Maple tree" from Sidhartha Kumar. Cleanups and modest performance improvements for the maple tree library code.
- "memcg: further decouple v1 code from v2" from Shakeel Butt. Move more cgroup v1 remnants away from the v2 memcg code.
- "memcg: initiate deprecation of v1 features" from Shakeel Butt. Adds various warnings telling users that memcg v1 features are deprecated.
- "mm: swap: mTHP swap allocator base on swap cluster order" from Chris Li. Greatly improves the success rate of the mTHP swap allocation.

- "mm/hugetlb: alloc/free gigantic folios" from Yu Zhao. Nice performance improvements and code reductions for gigantic folios.
- "support shmem mTHP collapse" from Baolin Wang. Adds support for khugepaged's collapsing of shmem mTHP folios.

- "Increase the number of bits available in page_type" from Matthew Wilcox. Increases the number of bits available in page_type!
- "Simplify the page flags a little" from Matthew Wilcox. Many legacy page flags are now folio flags, so the page-based flags and their accessors/mutators can be removed.
- "mm: store zero pages to be swapped out in a bitmap" from Usama Arif. An optimization which permits us to avoid writing/reading zero-filled zswap pages to backing store.
- "Avoid MAP_FIXED gap exposure" from Liam Howlett. Fixes a race window which occurs when a MAP_FIXED operqtion is occurring during an unrelated vma tree walk.

mm: make arch_get_unmapped_area() take vm_flags by default

mm: make arch_get_unmapped_area() take vm_flags by default
Patch series "mm: Care about shadow stack guard gap when getting an unmapped area", v2.
As covered in the commit log for c44357c2e76b ("x86/mm: care about shadow stack guard gap during placement") our current mmap() implementation does not take care to ensure that a new mapping isn't placed with existing mappings inside it's own guard gaps. This is particularly important for shadow stacks since if two shadow stacks end up getting placed adjacent to each other then they can overflow into each other which weakens the protection offered by the feature.
On x86 there is a custom arch_get_unmapped_area() which was updated by the above commit to cover this case by specifying a start_gap for allocations with VM_SHADOW_STACK. Both arm64 and RISC-V have equivalent features and use the generic implementation of arch_get_unmapped_area() so let's make the equivalent change there so they also don't get shadow stack pages placed without guard pages. The arm64 and RISC-V shadow stack implementations are currently on the list:
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240829-arm64-gcs-v12-0-42fec94743 https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20240403234054.2020347-1-debug@rivosinc.com/
Given the addition of the use of vm_flags in the generic implementation we also simplify the set of possibilities that have to be dealt with in the core code by making arch_get_unmapped_area() take vm_flags as standard. This is a bit invasive since the prototype change touches quite a few architectures but since the parameter is ignored the change is straightforward, the simplification for the generic code seems worth it.
This patch (of 3):
When we introduced arch_get_unmapped_area_vmflags() in 961148704acd ("mm: introduce arch_get_unmapped_area_vmflags()") we did so as part of properly supporting guard pages for shadow stacks on x86_64, which uses a custom arch_get_unmapped_area(). Equivalent features are also present on both arm64 and RISC-V, both of which use the generic implementation of arch_get_unmapped_area() and will require equivalent modification there. Rather than continue to deal with having two versions of the functions let's bite the bullet and have all implementations of arch_get_unmapped_area() take vm_flags as a parameter.
The new parameter is currently ignored by all implementations other than x86. The only caller that doesn't have a vm_flags available is mm_get_unmapped_area(), as for the x86 implementation and the wrapper used on other architectures this is modified to supply no flags.
No functional changes.

treewide: use initializer for struct vm_unmapped_area_info
Future changes will need to add a new member to struct vm_unmapped_area_info. This would cause trouble for any call site that doesn't initialize the struct. Currently every caller sets each member manually, so if new ones are added they will be uninitialized and the core code parsing the struct will see garbage in the new member.
It could be possible to initialize the new member manually to 0 at each call site. This and a couple other options were discussed. Having some struct vm_unmapped_area_info instances not zero initialized will put those sites at risk of feeding garbage into vm_unmapped_area(), if the convention is to zero initialize the struct and any new field addition missed a call site that initializes each field manually. So it is useful to do things similar across the kernel.
The consensus (see links) was that in general the best way to accomplish taking into account both code cleanliness and minimizing the chance of introducing bugs, was to do C99 static initialization. As in: struct vm_unmapped_area_info info = {};
With this method of initialization, the whole struct will be zero initialized, and any statements setting fields to zero will be unneeded. The change should not leave cleanup at the call sides.
While iterating though the possible solutions a few archs kindly acked other variations that still zero initialized the struct. These sites have been modified in previous changes using the pattern acked by the respective arch.
So to be reduce the chance of bugs via uninitialized fields, perform a tree wide change using the consensus for the best general way to do this change. Use C99 static initializing to zero the struct and remove and statements that simply set members to zero.

mm: switch mm->get_unmapped_area() to a flag
The mm_struct contains a function pointer *get_unmapped_area(), which is set to either arch_get_unmapped_area() or arch_get_unmapped_area_topdown() during the initialization of the mm.
Since the function pointer only ever points to two functions that are named the same across all arch's, a function pointer is not really required. In addition future changes will want to add versions of the functions that take additional arguments. So to save a pointers worth of bytes in mm_struct, and prevent adding additional function pointers to mm_struct in future changes, remove it and keep the information about which get_unmapped_area() to use in a flag.
Add the new flag to MMF_INIT_MASK so it doesn't get clobbered on fork by mmf_init_flags(). Most MM flags get clobbered on fork. In the pre-existing behavior mm->get_unmapped_area() would get copied to the new mm in dup_mm(), so not clobbering the flag preserves the existing behavior around inheriting the topdown-ness.
Introduce a helper, mm_get_unmapped_area(), to easily convert code that refers to the old function pointer to instead select and call either arch_get_unmapped_area() or arch_get_unmapped_area_topdown() based on the flag. Then drop the mm->get_unmapped_area() function pointer. Leave the get_unmapped_area() pointer in struct file_operations alone. The main purpose of this change is to reorganize in preparation for future changes, but it also converts the calls of mm->get_unmapped_area() from indirect branches into a direct ones.
The stress-ng bigheap benchmark calls realloc a lot, which calls through get_unmapped_area() in the kernel. On x86, the change yielded a ~1% improvement there on a retpoline config.
In testing a few x86 configs, removing the pointer unfortunately didn't result in any actual size reductions in the compiled layout of mm_struct. But depending on compiler or arch alignment requirements, the change could shrink the size of mm_struct.
