    Pull mm updates from Andrew Morton:
     "The usual shower of singleton fixes and minor series all over MM,
      documented (hopefully adequately) in the respective changelogs.
      Notable series include:
    
       - Lucas Stach has provided some page-mapping cleanup/consolidation/
         maintainability work in the series "mm/treewide: Remove pXd_huge()
         API".
    
       - In the series "Allow migrate on protnone reference with
         MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY policy", Donet Tom has optimized mempolicy's
         MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY mode, yielding almost doubled performance in
         one test.
    
       - In their series "Memory allocation profiling" Kent Overstreet and
         Suren Baghdasaryan have contributed a means of determining (via
         /proc/allocinfo) whereabouts in the kernel memory is being
         allocated: number of calls and amount of memory.
    
       - Matthew Wilcox has provided the series "Various significant MM
         patches" which does a number of rather unrelated things, but in
         largely similar code sites.
    
       - In his series "mm: page_alloc: freelist migratetype hygiene"
         Johannes Weiner has fixed the page allocator's handling of
         migratetype requests, with resulting improvements in compaction
         efficiency.
    
       - In the series "make the hugetlb migration strategy consistent"
         Baolin Wang has fixed a hugetlb migration issue, which should
         improve hugetlb allocation reliability.
    
       - Liu Shixin has hit an I/O meltdown caused by readahead in a
         memory-tight memcg. Addressed in the series "Fix I/O high when
         memory almost met memcg limit".
    
       - In the series "mm/filemap: optimize folio adding and splitting"
         Kairui Song has optimized pagecache insertion, yielding ~10%
         performance improvement in one test.
    
       - Baoquan He has cleaned up and consolidated the early zone
         initialization code in the series "mm/mm_init.c: refactor
         free_area_init_core()".
    
       - Baoquan has also redone some MM initializatio code in the series
         "mm/init: minor clean up and improvement".
    
       - MM helper cleanups from Christoph Hellwig in his series "remove
         follow_pfn".
    
       - More cleanups from Matthew Wilcox in the series "Various
         page->flags cleanups".
    
       - Vlastimil Babka has contributed maintainability improvements in the
         series "memcg_kmem hooks refactoring".
    
       - More folio conversions and cleanups in Matthew Wilcox's series:
    	"Convert huge_zero_page to huge_zero_folio"
    	"khugepaged folio conversions"
    	"Remove page_idle and page_young wrappers"
    	"Use folio APIs in procfs"
    	"Clean up __folio_put()"
    	"Some cleanups for memory-failure"
    	"Remove page_mapping()"
    	"More folio compat code removal"
    
       - David Hildenbrand chipped in with "fs/proc/task_mmu: convert
         hugetlb functions to work on folis".
    
       - Code consolidation and cleanup work related to GUP's handling of
         hugetlbs in Peter Xu's series "mm/gup: Unify hugetlb, part 2".
    
       - Rick Edgecombe has developed some fixes to stack guard gaps in the
         series "Cover a guard gap corner case".
    
       - Jinjiang Tu has fixed KSM's behaviour after a fork+exec in the
         series "mm/ksm: fix ksm exec support for prctl".
    
       - Baolin Wang has implemented NUMA balancing for multi-size THPs.
         This is a simple first-cut implementation for now. The series is
         "support multi-size THP numa balancing".
    
       - Cleanups to vma handling helper functions from Matthew Wilcox in
         the series "Unify vma_address and vma_pgoff_address".
    
       - Some selftests maintenance work from Dev Jain in the series
         "selftests/mm: mremap_test: Optimizations and style fixes".
    
       - Improvements to the swapping of multi-size THPs from Ryan Roberts
         in the series "Swap-out mTHP without splitting".
    
       - Kefeng Wang has significantly optimized the handling of arm64's
         permission page faults in the series
    	"arch/mm/fault: accelerate pagefault when badaccess"
    	"mm: remove arch's private VM_FAULT_BADMAP/BADACCESS"
    
       - GUP cleanups from David Hildenbrand in "mm/gup: consistently call
         it GUP-fast".
    
       - hugetlb fault code cleanups from Vishal Moola in "Hugetlb fault
         path to use struct vm_fault".
    
       - selftests build fixes from John Hubbard in the series "Fix
         selftests/mm build without requiring "make headers"".
    
       - Memory tiering fixes/improvements from Ho-Ren (Jack) Chuang in the
         series "Improved Memory Tier Creation for CPUless NUMA Nodes".
         Fixes the initialization code so that migration between different
         memory types works as intended.
    
       - David Hildenbrand has improved follow_pte() and fixed an errant
         driver in the series "mm: follow_pte() improvements and acrn
         follow_pte() fixes".
    
       - David also did some cleanup work on large folio mapcounts in his

         same-filled and limit checking cleanups".
    
       - Matthew Wilcox has been looking at buffer_head code and found the
         documentation to be lacking. The series is "Improve buffer head
         documentation".
    
       - Multi-size THPs get more work, this time from Lance Yang. His
         series "mm/madvise: enhance lazyfreeing with mTHP in madvise_free"
         optimizes the freeing of these things.
    
       - Kemeng Shi has added more userspace-visible writeback
         instrumentation in the series "Improve visibility of writeback".
    
       - Kemeng Shi then sent some maintenance work on top in the series
         "Fix and cleanups to page-writeback".
    
       - Matthew Wilcox reduces mmap_lock traffic in the anon vma code in
