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

aggr_interval is zero
The aggregation interval of test purpose damon_attrs for
damon_test_nr_accesses_to_accesses_bp() becomes zero on 32 bit
architecture, since size of int and long types are same. As a result,
damon_nr_accesses_to_accesses_bp() call with the test data triggers
divide-by-zero exception. damon_nr_accesses_to_accesses_bp() shouldn't
be called with such data, and the non-test code avoids that by checking
the case on damon_update_monitoring_results(). Skip the test code in
the case, and add an explicit caution of the case on the comment for the
test target function.

damon_test_three_regions_in_vmas() initializes a maple tree with
MM_MT_FLAGS. The flags contains MT_FLAGS_LOCK_EXTERN, which means mt_lock
of the maple tree will not be used. And therefore the maple tree
initialization code skips initialization of the mt_lock. However,
__link_vmas(), which adds vmas for test to the maple tree, uses the
mt_lock. In other words, the uninitialized spinlock is used. The problem
becomes clear when spinlock debugging is turned on, since it reports
spinlock bad magic bug.
Fix the issue by excluding MT_FLAGS_LOCK_EXTERN from the maple tree
initialization flags. Note that we don't use empty flags to make it
further similar to the usage of mm maple tree, and to be prepared for
possible future changes, as suggested by Liam.

This reverts commit 0742cadf5e4c ("mm/damon/lru_sort: adjust local
variable to dynamic allocation").
The commit was introduced to avoid unnecessary usage of stack memory for
per-scheme region priorities histogram buffer. The fix is nice, but the
point of the fix looks not very clear if the commit message is not read
together. That's mainly because the buffer is a private field, which
means it is hidden from the DAMON API users. That's not the fault of the
fix but the underlying data structure.
Now the per-scheme histogram buffer is gone, so the problem that the
commit was fixing is also removed. The use of kmemdup() has no more point
but just making the code bit difficult to understand. Revert the fix.

per-context one. After this change, the per-quota histogram is not used

Patch series "replace per-quota region priorities histogram buffer with
per-context one".
Each DAMOS quota (struct damos_quota) maintains a histogram for total
regions size per its prioritization score. DAMOS calcultes minimum
prioritization score of regions that are ok to apply the DAMOS action to
while respecting the quota. The histogram is constructed only for the
calculation of the minimum score in damos_adjust_quota() for each quota
which called by kdamond_fn().
Hence, there is no real reason to have per-quota histogram. Only
per-kdamond histogram is needed, since parallel kdamonds could have races
otherwise. The current implementation is only wasting the memory, and can
easily cause unintended stack usage[1].
So, introducing a per-kdamond histogram and replacing the per-quota one
with it would be the right solution for the issue. However, supporting
multiple DAMON contexts per kdamond is still an ongoing work[2] without a
clear estimated time of arrival. Meanwhile, per-context histogram could
be an effective and straightforward solution having no blocker. Let's fix
the problem first in the way.
This patch (of 4):
Introduce per-context buffer for region priority scores-total size
histogram. Same to the per-quota one (->histogram of struct damos_quota),
the new buffer is hidden from DAMON API users by being defined as a
private field of DAMON context structure. It is dynamically allocated and
de-allocated at the beginning and ending of the execution of the kdamond
by kdamond_fn() itself.

This is because damon_lru_sort_quota contains a large array, and

So adjust local variable to dynamic allocation.

On powerpc 8xx huge_ptep_get() will need to know whether the given ptep is
a PTE entry or a PMD entry. This cannot be known with the PMD entry
itself because there is no easy way to know it from the content of the
entry.
So huge_ptep_get() will need to know either the size of the page or get

DAMON keeps the number of regions under max_nr_regions by skipping regions
split operations when doing so can make the number higher than the limit.
It works well for preventing violation of the limit. But, if somehow the
violation happens, it cannot recovery well depending on the situation. In
detail, if the real number of regions having different access pattern is
higher than the limit, the mechanism cannot reduce the number below the
limit. In such a case, the system could suffer from high monitoring
overhead of DAMON.
The violation can actually happen. For an example, the user could reduce
max_nr_regions while DAMON is running, to be lower than the current number
of regions. Fix the problem by repeating the merge operations with
increasing aggressiveness in kdamond_merge_regions() for the case, until
the limit is met.

Patch series "mm/damon: introduce DAMON parameters online commit function".
DAMON context struct (damon_ctx) contains user requests (parameters),
internal status, and operation results. For flexible usages, DAMON API
users are encouraged to manually manipulate the struct. That works well
for simple use cases. However, it has turned out that it is not that
simple at least for online parameters udpate. It is easy to forget
properly maintaining internal status and operation results. Also, such
manual manipulation for online tuning is implemented multiple times on
DAMON API users including DAMON sysfs interface, DAMON_RECLAIM and
DAMON_LRU_SORT. As a result, we have multiple sources of bugs for same
problem. Actually we found and fixed a few bugs from online parameter
updating of DAMON API users.
Implement a function for online DAMON parameters update in core layer, and
replace DAMON API users' manual manipulation code for the use case. The
core layer function could still have bugs, but this change reduces the
source of bugs for the problem to one place.

selftests, and documents.
This patch (of 10):
damos_quota_init_priv() function should initialize all private fields of
struct damos_quota. However, it is not initializing ->esz_bp field. This
could result in use of uninitialized variable from
damon_feed_loop_next_input() function. There is no such issue at the
moment because every caller of the function is passing damos_quota object
that already having the field zero value. But we cannot guarantee the
future, and the function is not doing what it is promising. A bug is a
bug. This fix is for preventing possible future issues.

Patch series "mm/damon/paddr: simplify page level access re-check for
pageout.
The 'pageout' DAMOS action implementation of 'paddr' asks reclaim_pages()
to do page level access check again. But the user can ask 'paddr' to do
the page level access check on its own, using DAMOS filter of 'young page'
type. Meanwhile, 'paddr' is the only user of reclaim_pages() that asks
the page level access check.
Make 'paddr' does the page level access check on its own always, and
simplify reclaim_pages() by removing the page level access check request
handling logic. As a result of the change for reclaim_pages(),
reclaim_folio_list(), which is called by reclaim_pages(), also no more
need to do the page level access check. Simplify the function, too.
This patch (of 4):

do the page level access check. User could ask DAMOS to do the page level
access check on its own using 'young page' type DAMOS filter. In the
case, pageout DAMOS action unnecessarily asks reclaim_pages() to do the
check again. Ask the page level access check only if the scheme is not
having the filter.

Patch series "mm/damon: add a DAMOS filter type for page granularity
access recheck".
DAMON provides its best-effort accuracy-overhead tradeoff under the
user-defined ranges of acceptable level of the monitoring accuracy and
overhead. A recent discussion for tiered memory management support from
DAMON[1] concluded that finding memory regions of specific access pattern
with low overhead despite of low accuracy via DAMON first, and then double
checking the access of the region again in a finer (e.g., page)
granularity could be a useful strategy for some DAMOS schemes.
Add a new type of DAMOS filter, namely 'young' for such a case. It checks
each page of DAMOS target region is accessed since the last check, and
filters it out or in if 'matching' parameter is 'true' or 'false',
respectively.
Because this is a filter type that applied in page granularity, the
support depends on DAMON operations set, similar to 'anon' and 'memcg'
DAMOS filter types. Implement the support on the DAMON operations set for
the physical address space, 'paddr', since one of the expected usages[1]
is based on the physical address space.

While doing MADV_PAGEOUT, the current code will clear PTE young so that
vmscan won't read young flags to allow the reclamation of madvised folios
to go ahead. It seems we can do it by directly ignoring references, thus
we can remove tlb flush in madvise and rmap overhead in vmscan.
Regarding the side effect, in the original code, if a parallel thread runs
side by side to access the madvised memory with the thread doing madvise,
folios will get a chance to be re-activated by vmscan (though the time gap
is actually quite small since checking PTEs is done immediately after
clearing PTEs young). But with this patch, they will still be reclaimed.
But this behaviour doing PAGEOUT and doing access at the same time is
quite silly like DoS. So probably, we don't need to care. Or ignoring
the new access during the quite small time gap is even better.
For DAMON's DAMOS_PAGEOUT based on physical address region, we still keep
its behaviour as is since a physical address might be mapped by multiple
processes. MADV_PAGEOUT based on virtual address is actually much more
aggressive on reclamation. To untouch paddr's DAMOS_PAGEOUT, we simply
pass ignore_references as false in reclaim_pages().
A microbench as below has shown 6% decrement on the latency of
MADV_PAGEOUT,
#define PGSIZE 4096
main()
{
int i;
#define SIZE 512*1024*1024
volatile long *p = mmap(NULL, SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0);
for (i = 0; i < SIZE/sizeof(long); i += PGSIZE / sizeof(long))
p[i] = 0x11;
madvise(p, SIZE, MADV_PAGEOUT);
}

DAMOS quota auto-tuning asks users to assess the current tuned quota and
provide the feedback in a manual and repeated way. It allows users
generate the feedback from a source that the kernel cannot access, and
writing a script or a function for doing the manual and repeated feeding
is not a big deal. However, additional works are additional works, and it
could be more efficient if DAMOS could do the fetch itself, especially in
case of DAMON sysfs interface use case, since it can avoid the context
switches between the user-space and the kernel-space, though the overhead
would be only trivial in most cases. Also in many cases, feedbacks could
