Linus Torvalds 5c00ff742b - The series "zram: optimal post-processing target selection" from
Sergey Senozhatsky improves zram's post-processing selection algorithm.
   This leads to improved memory savings.
 
 - Wei Yang has gone to town on the mapletree code, contributing several
   series which clean up the implementation:
 
 	- "refine mas_mab_cp()"
 	- "Reduce the space to be cleared for maple_big_node"
 	- "maple_tree: simplify mas_push_node()"
 	- "Following cleanup after introduce mas_wr_store_type()"
 	- "refine storing null"
 
 - The series "selftests/mm: hugetlb_fault_after_madv improvements" from
   David Hildenbrand fixes this selftest for s390.
 
 - The series "introduce pte_offset_map_{ro|rw}_nolock()" from Qi Zheng
   implements some rationaizations and cleanups in the page mapping code.
 
 - The series "mm: optimize shadow entries removal" from Shakeel Butt
   optimizes the file truncation code by speeding up the handling of shadow
   entries.
 
 - The series "Remove PageKsm()" from Matthew Wilcox completes the
   migration of this flag over to being a folio-based flag.
 
 - The series "Unify hugetlb into arch_get_unmapped_area functions" from
   Oscar Salvador implements a bunch of consolidations and cleanups in the
   hugetlb code.
 
 - The series "Do not shatter hugezeropage on wp-fault" from Dev Jain
   takes away the wp-fault time practice of turning a huge zero page into
   small pages.  Instead we replace the whole thing with a THP.  More
   consistent cleaner and potentiall saves a large number of pagefaults.
 
 - The series "percpu: Add a test case and fix for clang" from Andy
   Shevchenko enhances and fixes the kernel's built in percpu test code.
 
 - The series "mm/mremap: Remove extra vma tree walk" from Liam Howlett
   optimizes mremap() by avoiding doing things which we didn't need to do.
 
 - The series "Improve the tmpfs large folio read performance" from
   Baolin Wang teaches tmpfs to copy data into userspace at the folio size
   rather than as individual pages.  A 20% speedup was observed.
 
 - The series "mm/damon/vaddr: Fix issue in
   damon_va_evenly_split_region()" fro Zheng Yejian fixes DAMON splitting.
 
 - The series "memcg-v1: fully deprecate charge moving" from Shakeel Butt
   removes the long-deprecated memcgv2 charge moving feature.
 
 - The series "fix error handling in mmap_region() and refactor" from
   Lorenzo Stoakes cleanup up some of the mmap() error handling and
   addresses some potential performance issues.
 
 - The series "x86/module: use large ROX pages for text allocations" from
   Mike Rapoport teaches x86 to use large pages for read-only-execute
   module text.
 
 - The series "page allocation tag compression" from Suren Baghdasaryan
   is followon maintenance work for the new page allocation profiling
   feature.
 
 - The series "page->index removals in mm" from Matthew Wilcox remove
   most references to page->index in mm/.  A slow march towards shrinking
   struct page.
 
 - The series "damon/{self,kunit}tests: minor fixups for DAMON debugfs
   interface tests" from Andrew Paniakin performs maintenance work for
   DAMON's self testing code.
 
 - The series "mm: zswap swap-out of large folios" from Kanchana Sridhar
   improves zswap's batching of compression and decompression.  It is a
   step along the way towards using Intel IAA hardware acceleration for
   this zswap operation.
 
 - The series "kasan: migrate the last module test to kunit" from
   Sabyrzhan Tasbolatov completes the migration of the KASAN built-in tests
   over to the KUnit framework.
 
 - The series "implement lightweight guard pages" from Lorenzo Stoakes
   permits userapace to place fault-generating guard pages within a single
   VMA, rather than requiring that multiple VMAs be created for this.
   Improved efficiencies for userspace memory allocators are expected.
 
 - The series "memcg: tracepoint for flushing stats" from JP Kobryn uses
   tracepoints to provide increased visibility into memcg stats flushing
   activity.
 
 - The series "zram: IDLE flag handling fixes" from Sergey Senozhatsky
   fixes a zram buglet which potentially affected performance.
 
 - The series "mm: add more kernel parameters to control mTHP" from
   Maíra Canal enhances our ability to control/configuremultisize THP from
   the kernel boot command line.
 
 - The series "kasan: few improvements on kunit tests" from Sabyrzhan
   Tasbolatov has a couple of fixups for the KASAN KUnit tests.
 
 - The series "mm/list_lru: Split list_lru lock into per-cgroup scope"
   from Kairui Song optimizes list_lru memory utilization when lockdep is
   enabled.
