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.

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.
- "Kernel stack usage histogram" from Pasha Tatashin and Shakeel
Butt. This is a feature, it adds new feilds to /proc/vmstat such as
$ 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.

in some missing info in /proc/zoneinfo.
- "mm: replace follow_page() by folio_walk" from David Hildenbrand.
Code cleanups and rationalizations (conversion to folio_walk())
resulting in the removal of follow_page().
- "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.

I
tools: improve vma test Makefile
Patch series "mm: remove vma_merge()", v3.
The infamous vma_merge() function has been the cause of a great deal of
pain, bugs and confusion for a very long time.
It is subtle, contains many corner cases, tries to do far too much and is
as a result very fragile.
The fact that the function requires there to be a numbering system to
cover each possible eventuality with references to each in the many
branches of its implementation as to which case you are looking at speaks
to all this.
Some of this complexity is inherent - unfortunately there is no getting
away from the need to figure out precisely how to execute the merge,
whether we need to remove VMAs, whether it is safe to do so, what
constitutes a mergeable VMA and so on.
However, a lot of the complexity is not inherent but instead a product of
the function's 'organic' development.
Liam has gone to great lengths to improve the situation as a part of his
maple tree implementation, greatly improving the readability of the code,
and Vlastimil and myself have additionally gone to lengths to try to
improve things further.
However, with the availability of userland VMA testing, it now becomes
possible to perform a rather more significant refactoring while
maintaining confidence in its correct operation.
An attempt was previously made by Vlastimil [0] to eliminate vma_merge(),
however it was rather - brutal - and an astute reader might refer to the
date of that patch for insight as to its intent.
This series instead divides merge operations into two natural kinds -
merges which occur when a NEW vma is being added to the address space, and
merges which occur when a vma is being MODIFIED.
Happily, the vma_expand() function introduced by Liam, which has the
capacity for also deleting a subsequent VMA, covers each of the NEW vma
cases.
By abstracting the actual final commit of changes to a VMA to its own
function, commit_merge() and writing a wrapper around vma_expand() for new
VMA cases vma_merge_new_range(), we can avoid having to use vma_merge()
for these instances altogether.
By doing so we are also able to then de-duplicate all existing merge logic
in mmap_region() and do_brk_flags() and have everything invoke this new
function, so we universally take the same approach to merging new VMAs.
Having done so, we can then completely rework vma_merge() into
vma_merge_existing_range() and use this for the instances where a merge is
proposed for a region of an existing VMA.
This eliminates vma_merge() and its numbered cases and instead divides
things into logical cases - merge both, merge left, merge right (the
latter 2 being either partial or full merges).
The code is heavily annotated with ASCII diagrams and greatly simplified
in comparison to the existing vma_merge() function.
Having made this change, we take the opportunity to address an issue with
merging VMAs possessing a vm_ops->close() hook - commit 714965ca8252
("mm/mmap: start distinguishing if vma can be removed in mergeability
test") and commit fc0c8f9089c2 ("mm, mmap: fix vma_merge() case 7 with
vma_ops->close") make efforts to relax how we handle these, making
assumptions about which VMAs might end up deleted (and thus, if possessing
a vm_ops->close() hook, cannot be).
This refactor means we do not need to guess, so instead explicitly only
disallow merge in instances where a VMA with a vm_ops->close() hook would
be deleted (and try a smaller merge in cases where this is possible).
In addition to these changes, we introduce a new vma_merge_struct
abstraction to allow VMA merge state to be threaded through the operation
neatly.
There is heavy unit testing provided for all merge functionality, added
prior to the refactoring, allowing for before/after testing.
The vm_ops->close() change also introduces exhaustive testing to
demonstrate that this functions as expected, and in addition to this the
reproduction code from commit fc0c8f9089c2 ("mm, mmap: fix vma_merge()
case 7 with vma_ops->close") was tested and confirmed passing.
[0]:https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20240401192623.18575-2-vbabka@suse.cz/
This patch (of 10):
Have vma.o depend on its source dependencies explicitly, as previously
these were simply being ignored as existing object files were up to date.
This now correctly re-triggers the build if mm/ source is changed as well
as local source code.
Also set clean as a phony rule.

tools: add skeleton code for userland testing of VMA logic
Establish a new userland VMA unit testing implementation under
tools/testing which utilises existing logic providing maple tree support
in userland utilising the now-shared code previously exclusive to radix
tree testing.
This provides fundamental VMA operations whose API is defined in mm/vma.h,
while stubbing out superfluous functionality.
This exists as a proof-of-concept, with the test implementation functional
and sufficient to allow userland compilation of vma.c, but containing only
cursory tests to demonstrate basic functionality.
