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

use large folios other than PMD-sized ones

- "synchronously scan and reclaim empty user PTE pages" from Qi Zheng
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)

Muhammad Usama Anjum fixes some build warnings in the selftests
code when optional compiler warnings are enabled

simplifies and cleans up the debugging code in the VMA merging
logic

- "Account page tables at all levels" from Kevin Brodsky cleans up
and regularizes the pagetable ctor/dtor handling. This results in
improvements in accounting accuracy

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

overlaps with struct page for now. This is part of the effort to
reduce the size of struct page and to enable dynamic allocation of
memory descriptors

- "mm, swap: rework of swap allocator locks" from Kairui Song redoes
and simplifies the swap allocator locking. A speedup of 400% was
demonstrated for one workload. As was a 35% reduction for kernel
build time with swap-on-zram

selftests/mm: virtual_address_range: unmap chunks after validation

selftests/mm: virtual_address_range: unmap chunks after validation

For each accessed chunk a PTE is created. More than 1GiB of PTEs is used
in this way. Remove each PTE after validating a chunk to reduce peak
memory usage.

It is important to only unmap memory that previously mmap()ed, as
unmapping other mappings like the stack, heap or executable mappings will
crash the process.

The mappings read from /proc/self/maps and the return values from mmap()
don't allow a simple correlation due to merging and no guaranteed order.
To correlate the pointers and mappings use prctl(PR_SET_VMA_ANON_NAME).
While it introduces a test dependency, other alternatives would introduce
runtime or development overhead.

/proc/kcore better represent the real state of things in his series
"mm/vmalloc.c: allow vread() to read out vm_map_ram areas".

- Jason Gunthorpe rationalized the GUP system's interface to the rest
of the kernel in the series "Simplify the external interface for
GUP".

- SeongJae Park wishes to migrate people from DAMON's debugfs interface
over to its sysfs interface. To support this, we'll temporarily be
printing warnings when people use the debugfs interface. See the
series "mm/damon: deprecate DAMON debugfs interface".

- Andrey Konovalov provided the accurately named "lib/stackdepot: fixes
and clean-ups" series.

- Huang Ying has provided a dramatic reduction in migration's TLB flush
IPI rates with the series "migrate_pages(): batch TLB flushing".

- Arnd Bergmann has some objtool fixups in "objtool warning fixes".
