Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
"The various patchsets are summarized below. Plus of course many
indivudual patches which are described in their changelogs.

- "Allocate and free frozen pages" from Matthew Wilcox reorganizes
the page allocator so we end up with the ability to allocate and
free zero-refcount pages. So that callers (ie, slab) can avoid a
refcount inc & dec

- "Support large folios for tmpfs" from Baolin Wang teaches tmpfs to
use large folios other than PMD-sized ones

- "Fix mm/rodata_test" from Petr Tesarik performs some maintenance
and fixes for this small built-in kernel selftest

addresses an issue where "huge" amounts of pte pagetables are
accumulated:

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/cover.1718267194.git.zhengqi.arch@bytedance.com/

Qi's series addresses this windup by synchronously freeing PTE
memory within the context of madvise(MADV_DONTNEED)

core functions" from SeongJae Park cleans up and generalizes
DAMON's sysfs file interface logic

- "mm/damon: enable page level properties based monitoring" from
SeongJae Park increases the amount of information which is
presented in response to DAMOS actions

- "mm/damon: remove DAMON debugfs interface" from SeongJae Park

samples: add a skeleton of a sample DAMON module for working set size estimation

Patch series "mm/damon: add sample modules".

Implement a proactive cold memory regions reclaiming logic of prcl sample
module using DAMOS. The logic treats memory regions that not accessed at
all for five or more seconds as cold, and reclaim those as soon as found.


This patch (of 5):

Add a skeleton for a sample DAMON static module that can be used for
estimating working set size of a given process. Note that it is a static
module since DAMON is not exporting symbols to loadable modules for now.
It exposes two module parameters, namely 'pid' and 'enable'. 'pid' will
specify the process that the module will estimate the working set size of.
'enable' will receive whether to start or stop the estimation. Because
this is just a skeleton, the parameters do nothing, though. The
functionalities will be implemented by following commits.

samples/check-exec: Add an enlighten "inc" interpreter and 28 tests

Add a very simple script interpreter called "inc" that can evaluate two
different commands (one per line):
- "?" to initialize a counter from user's input;
- "+" to increment the counter (which is set to 0 by default).

It is enlighten to only interpret executable files according to
AT_EXECVE_CHECK and the related securebits:

# Executing a script with RESTRICT_FILE is only allowed if the script
# is executable:
./set-exec -f -- ./inc script-exec.inc # Allowed
./set-exec -f -- ./inc script-noexec.inc # Denied

# Executing stdin with DENY_INTERACTIVE is only allowed if stdin is an
# executable regular file:
./set-exec -i -- ./inc -i < script-exec.inc # Allowed
./set-exec -i -- ./inc -i < script-noexec.inc # Denied

# However, a pipe is not executable and it is then denied:
cat script-noexec.inc | ./set-exec -i -- ./inc -i # Denied

# Executing raw data (e.g. command argument) with DENY_INTERACTIVE is
# always denied.
./set-exec -i -- ./inc -c "+" # Denied
./inc -c "$(<script-ask.inc)" # Allowed

# To directly execute a script, we can update $PATH (used by `env`):
PATH="${PATH}:." ./script-exec.inc

# To execute several commands passed as argument:

Add a complete test suite to check the script interpreter against all
possible execution cases:

make TARGETS=exec kselftest-install

Merge tag 'mm-stable-2024-01-08-15-31' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

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'

- 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.

save mempool stack traces'.

- Andrey also performed some KASAN maintenance work in the series
'kasan: assorted clean-ups'.

- David Hildenbrand has gone to town on the rmap code. Cleanups, more
pte batching, folio conversions and more. See the series 'mm/rmap:
interface overhaul'.

- Kinsey Ho has contributed some maintenance work on the MGLRU code

samples: introduce new samples subdir for cgroup

Patch series "samples: introduce cgroup events listeners", v3.

To begin with, this patch series relocates the cgroup example code to the
samples/cgroup directory, which is the appropriate location for such code
snippets.

Furthermore, a new memcg events listener is introduced. This listener is
a simple yet effective tool for monitoring memory events and managing
counter changes during runtime.

Additionally, as per Andrew Morton's suggestion, a helpful reminder
comment is included in the memcontrol implementation. This comment serves
to ensure that the samples code is updated whenever new events are added.


This patch (of 3):

Move the cgroup_event_listener for cgroup v1 to the samples directory.
This suggestion was proposed by Andrew Morton during the discussion [1].
