    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

       - "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.

         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

         Kumar. Cleanups and modest performance improvements for the maple
         tree library code.

         deprecated.
    
       - "mm: swap: mTHP swap allocator base on swap cluster order" from
         Chris Li. Greatly improves the success rate of the mTHP swap
         allocation.

         Wang. With this series we no longer split shmem large folios into
         simgle-page folios when swapping out shmem.

         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
