Pull x86 kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
 "x86:

   - KVM currently invalidates the entirety of the page tables, not just
     those for the memslot being touched, when a memslot is moved or
     deleted.

     This does not traditionally have particularly noticeable overhead,
     but Intel's TDX will require the guest to re-accept private pages
     if they are dropped from the secure EPT, which is a non starter.

     Actually, the only reason why this is not already being done is a
     bug which was never fully investigated and caused VM instability
     with assigned GeForce GPUs, so allow userspace to opt into the new
     behavior.

   - Advertise AVX10.1 to userspace (effectively prep work for the
     "real" AVX10 functionality that is on the horizon)

   - Rework common MSR handling code to suppress errors on userspace
     accesses to unsupported-but-advertised MSRs

     This will allow removing (almost?) all of KVM's exemptions for
     userspace access to MSRs that shouldn't exist based on the vCPU
     model (the actual cleanup is non-trivial future work)

   - Rework KVM's handling of x2APIC ICR, again, because AMD (x2AVIC)
     splits the 64-bit value into the legacy ICR and ICR2 storage,
     whereas Intel (APICv) stores the entire 64-bit value at the ICR
     offset

   - Fix a bug where KVM would fail to exit to userspace if one was
     triggered by a fastpath exit handler

   - Add fastpath handling of HLT VM-Exit to expedite re-entering the
     guest when there's already a pending wake event at the time of the
     exit

   - Fix a WARN caused by RSM entering a nested guest from SMM with
     invalid guest state, by forcing the vCPU out of guest mode prior to
     signalling SHUTDOWN (the SHUTDOWN hits the VM altogether, not the
     nested guest)

   - Overhaul the "unprotect and retry" logic to more precisely identify
     cases where retrying is actually helpful, and to harden all retry
     paths against putting the guest into an infinite retry loop

   - Add support for yielding, e.g. to honor NEED_RESCHED, when zapping
     rmaps in the shadow MMU

   - Refactor pieces of the shadow MMU related to aging SPTEs in
     prepartion for adding multi generation LRU support in KVM

   - Don't stuff the RSB after VM-Exit when RETPOLINE=y and AutoIBRS is
     enabled, i.e. when the CPU has already flushed the RSB

   - Trace the per-CPU host save area as a VMCB pointer to improve
     readability and cleanup the retrieval of the SEV-ES host save area

   - Remove unnecessary accounting of temporary nested VMCB related
     allocations

   - Set FINAL/PAGE in the page fault error code for EPT violations if
     and only if the GVA is valid. If the GVA is NOT valid, there is no
     guest-side page table walk and so stuffing paging related metadata
     is nonsensical

   - Fix a bug where KVM would incorrectly synthesize a nested VM-Exit
     instead of emulating posted interrupt delivery to L2

   - Add a lockdep assertion to detect unsafe accesses of vmcs12
     structures

   - Harden eVMCS loading against an impossible NULL pointer deref
     (really truly should be impossible)

   - Minor SGX fix and a cleanup

   - Misc cleanups

  Generic:

   - Register KVM's cpuhp and syscore callbacks when enabling
     virtualization in hardware, as the sole purpose of said callbacks
     is to disable and re-enable virtualization as needed

   - Enable virtualization when KVM is loaded, not right before the
     first VM is created

     Together with the previous change, this simplifies a lot the logic
     of the callbacks, because their very existence implies
     virtualization is enabled

   - Fix a bug that results in KVM prematurely exiting to userspace for
     coalesced MMIO/PIO in many cases, clean up the related code, and
     add a testcase

   - Fix a bug in kvm_clear_guest() where it would trigger a buffer
     overflow _if_ the gpa+len crosses a page boundary, which thankfully
     is guaranteed to not happen in the current code base. Add WARNs in
     more helpers that read/write guest memory to detect similar bugs

  Selftests:

   - Fix a goof that caused some Hyper-V tests to be skipped when run on
     bare metal, i.e. NOT in a VM

   - Add a regression test for KVM's handling of SHUTDOWN for an SEV-ES
     guest

   - Explicitly include one-off assets in .gitignore. Past Sean was
     completely wrong about not being able to detect missing .gitignore
     entries

   - Verify userspace single-stepping works when KVM happens to handle a
     VM-Exit in its fastpath

   - Misc cleanups"

Pull ring-buffer updates from Steven Rostedt:

 - tracing/ring-buffer: persistent buffer across reboots

   This allows for the tracing instance ring buffer to stay persistent
   across reboots. The way this is done is by adding to the kernel
   command line:

     trace_instance=boot_map@0x285400000:12M

   This will reserve 12 megabytes at the address 0x285400000, and then
   map the tracing instance "boot_map" ring buffer to that memory. This
   will appear as a normal instance in the tracefs system:

     /sys/kernel/tracing/instances/boot_map

   A user could enable tracing in that instance, and on reboot or kernel
   crash, if the memory is not wiped by the firmware, it will recreate
   the trace in that instance. For example, if one was debugging a
   shutdown of a kernel reboot:

     # cd /sys/kernel/tracing
     # echo function &gt; instances/boot_map/current_tracer
     # reboot
     [..]
     # cd /sys/kernel/tracing
     # tail instances/boot_map/trace

           swapper/0-1       [000] d..1.   164.549822: acpi_os_write_port &lt;-acpi_reboot

   On reboot, the buffer is examined to make sure it is valid. The
   validation check even steps through every event to make sure the meta
   data of the event is correct. If any test fails, it will simply reset
   the buffer, and the buffer will be empty on boot.

 - Allow the tracing persistent boot buffer to use the "reserve_mem"
   option

   Instead of having the admin find a physical address to store the
   persistent buffer, which can be very tedious if they have to
   administrate several different machines, allow them to use the
   "reserve_mem" option that will find a location for them. It is not as
   reliable because of KASLR, as the loading of the kernel in different
   locations can cause the memory allocated to be inconsistent. Booting
   with "nokaslr" can make reserve_mem more reliable.

 - Have function graph tracer handle offsets from a previous boot.

   The ring buffer output from a previous boot may have different
   addresses due to kaslr. Have the function graph tracer handle these
   by using the delta from the previous boot to the new boot address
   space.

 - Only reset the saved meta offset when the buffer is started or reset

   In the persistent memory meta data, it holds the previous address
   space information, so that it can calculate the delta to have
   function tracing work. But this gets updated after being read to hold
   the new address space. But if the buffer isn't used for that boot, on
   reboot, the delta is now calculated from the previous boot and not
   the boot that holds the data in the ring buffer. This causes the
   functions not to be shown. Do not save the address space information
   of the current kernel until it is being recorded.

 - Add a magic variable to test the valid meta data

   Add a magic variable in the meta data that can also be used for
   validation. The validator of the previous buffer doesn't need this
   magic data, but it can be used if the meta data is changed by a new
   kernel, which may have the same format that passes the validator but
   is used differently. This magic number can also be used as a
   "versioning" of the meta data.

 - Align user space mapped ring buffer sub buffers to improve TLB
   entries

   Linus mentioned that the mapped ring buffer sub buffers were
   misaligned between the meta page and the sub-buffers, so that if the
   sub-buffers were bigger than PAGE_SIZE, it wouldn't allow the TLB to
   use bigger entries.

 - Add new kernel command line "traceoff" to disable tracing on boot for
   instances

   If tracing is enabled for a boot instance, there needs a way to be
   able to disable it on boot so that new events do not get entered into
   the ring buffer and be mixed with events from a previous boot, as
   that can be confusing.

 - Allow trace_printk() to go to other instances

   Currently, trace_printk() can only go to the top level instance. When
   debugging with a persistent buffer, it is really useful to be able to
   add trace_printk() to go to that buffer, so that you have access to
   them after a crash.

 - Do not use "bin_printk()" for traces to a boot instance

   The bin_printk() saves only a pointer to the printk format in the
   ring buffer, as the reader of the buffer can still have access to it.
   But this is not the case if the buffer is from a previous boot. If
   the trace_printk() is going to a "persistent" buffer, it will use the
   slower version that writes the printk format into the buffer.

 - Add command line option to allow trace_printk() to go to an instance

   Allow the kernel command line to define which instance the
   trace_printk() goes to, instead of forcing the admin to set it for
   every boot via the tracefs options.

 - Start a document that explains how to use tracefs to debug the kernel

 - Add some more kernel selftests to test user mapped ring buffer

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.

   - "mm: print the promo watermark in zoneinfo" from Kaiyang Zhao. Fill
     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.

   - "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: introduce numa_memblks" from Mike Rapoport. Moves various
     disparate per-arch implementations of numa_memblk code into generic
     code.

   - "mm: batch free swaps for zap_pte_range()" from Barry Song. Greatly
     improves the performance of munmap() of swap-filled ptes.

   - "support large folio swap-out and swap-in for shmem" from Baolin
     Wang. With this series we no longer split shmem large folios into
     simgle-page folios when swapping out shmem.

   - "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.

   - "mm: Optimize mseal checks" from Pedro Falcato. Fixes an mprotect()
     performance regression due to the addition of mseal().

   - "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: remove vma_merge()" from Lorenzo Stoakes. Major rotorooting of
     the vma_merge() functionality, making ot cleaner, more testable and
     better tested.

   - "misc fixups for DAMON {self,kunit} tests" from SeongJae Park.
     Minor fixups of DAMON selftests and kunit tests.

   - "mm: memory_hotplug: improve do_migrate_range()" from Kefeng Wang.
     Code cleanups and folio conversions.

   - "Shmem mTHP controls and stats improvements" from Ryan Roberts.
     Cleanups for shmem controls and stats.

   - "mm: count the number of anonymous THPs per size" from Barry Song.
     Expose additional anon THP stats to userspace for improved tuning.

   - "mm: finish isolate/putback_lru_page()" from Kefeng Wang: more
     folio conversions and removal of now-unused page-based APIs.

   - "replace per-quota region priorities histogram buffer with
     per-context one" from SeongJae Park. DAMON histogram
     rationalization.

   - "Docs/damon: update GitHub repo URLs and maintainer-profile" from
     SeongJae Park. DAMON documentation updates.

   - "mm/vdpa: correct misuse of non-direct-reclaim __GFP_NOFAIL and
     improve related doc and warn" from Jason Wang: fixes usage of page
     allocator __GFP_NOFAIL and GFP_ATOMIC flags.

   - "mm: split underused THPs" from Yu Zhao. Improve THP=always policy.
     This was overprovisioning THPs in sparsely accessed memory areas.

   - "zram: introduce custom comp backends API" frm Sergey Senozhatsky.
     Add support for zram run-time compression algorithm tuning.

   - "mm: Care about shadow stack guard gap when getting an unmapped
     area" from Mark Brown. Fix up the various arch_get_unmapped_area()
     implementations to better respect guard areas.

     a couple more code paths to correctly recover from the encountering
     of poisoned memry.

   - "mm: enable large folios swap-in support" from Barry Song. Support
     the swapin of mTHP memory into appropriately-sized folios, rather
     than into single-page folios"
