Merge tag 'mm-nonmm-stable-2024-09-21-07-52' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm
Pull non-MM updates from Andrew Morton: "Many singleton patches - please see the various changelogs for details. Quite a lot of nilfs2 work this time around. Notable patch series in this pull request are: - "mul_u64_u64_div_u64: new implementation" by Nicolas Pitre, with assistance from Uwe Kleine-König. Reimplement mul_u64_u64_div_u64() to provide (much) more accurate results. The current implementation was causing Uwe some issues in the PWM drivers. - "xz: Updates to license, filters, and compression options" from Lasse Collin. Miscellaneous maintenance and kinor feature work to the xz decompressor. - "Fix some GDB command error and add some GDB commands" from Kuan-Ying Lee. Fixes and enhancements to the gdb scripts. - "treewide: add missing MODULE_DESCRIPTION() macros" from Jeff Johnson. Adds lots of MODULE_DESCRIPTIONs, thus fixing lots of warnings about this. - "nilfs2: add support for some common ioctls" from Ryusuke Konishi. Adds various commonly-available ioctls to nilfs2. - "This series fixes a number of formatting issues in kernel doc comments" from Ryusuke Konishi does that. - "nilfs2: prevent unexpected ENOENT propagation" from Ryusuke Konishi. Fix issues where -ENOENT was being unintentionally and inappropriately returned to userspace. - "nilfs2: assorted cleanups" from Huang Xiaojia. - "nilfs2: fix potential issues with empty b-tree nodes" from Ryusuke Konishi fixes some issues which can occur on corrupted nilfs2 filesystems. - "scripts/decode_stacktrace.sh: improve error reporting and usability" from Luca Ceresoli does those things" * tag 'mm-nonmm-stable-2024-09-21-07-52' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm: (103 commits) list: test: increase coverage of list_test_list_replace*() list: test: fix tests for list_cut_position() proc: use __auto_type more treewide: correct the typo 'retun' ocfs2: cleanup return value and mlog in ocfs2_global_read_info() nilfs2: remove duplicate 'unlikely()' usage nilfs2: fix potential oob read in nilfs_btree_check_delete() nilfs2: determine empty node blocks as corrupted nilfs2: fix potential null-ptr-deref in nilfs_btree_insert() user_namespace: use kmemdup_array() instead of kmemdup() for multiple allocation tools/mm: rm thp_swap_allocator_test when make clean squashfs: fix percpu address space issues in decompressor_multi_percpu.c lib: glob.c: added null check for character class nilfs2: refactor nilfs_segctor_thread() nilfs2: use kthread_create and kthread_stop for the log writer thread nilfs2: remove sc_timer_task nilfs2: do not repair reserved inode bitmap in nilfs_new_inode() nilfs2: eliminate the shared counter and spinlock for i_generation nilfs2: separate inode type information from i_state field nilfs2: use the BITS_PER_LONG macro ...
