- More userfaultfs work from Peter Xu. - Several convert-to-folios series from Sidhartha Kumar and Huang Ying. - Some filemap cleanups from Vishal Moola. - David Hildenbrand added the ability to selftest anon memory COW handling. - Some cpuset simplifications from Liu Shixin. - Addition of vmalloc tracing support by Uladzislau Rezki. - Some pagecache folioifications and simplifications from Matthew Wilcox. - A pagemap cleanup from Kefeng Wang: we have VM_ACCESS_FLAGS, so use it. - Miguel Ojeda contributed some cleanups for our use of the __no_sanitize_thread__ gcc keyword. This series shold have been in the non-MM tree, my bad. - Naoya Horiguchi improved the interaction between memory poisoning and memory section removal for huge pages. - DAMON cleanups and tuneups from SeongJae Park - Tony Luck fixed the handling of COW faults against poisoned pages. - Peter Xu utilized the PTE marker code for handling swapin errors. - Hugh Dickins reworked compound page mapcount handling, simplifying it and making it more efficient. - Removal of the autonuma savedwrite infrastructure from Nadav Amit and David Hildenbrand. - zram support for multiple compression streams from Sergey Senozhatsky. - David Hildenbrand reworked the GUP code's R/O long-term pinning so that drivers no longer need to use the FOLL_FORCE workaround which didn't work very well anyway. - Mel Gorman altered the page allocator so that local IRQs can remnain enabled during per-cpu page allocations. - Vishal Moola removed the try_to_release_page() wrapper. - Stefan Roesch added some per-BDI sysfs tunables which are used to prevent network block devices from dirtying excessive amounts of pagecache. - David Hildenbrand did some cleanup and repair work on KSM COW breaking. - Nhat Pham and Johannes Weiner have implemented writeback in zswap's zsmalloc backend. - Brian Foster has fixed a longstanding corner-case oddity in file[map]_write_and_wait_range(). - sparse-vmemmap changes for MIPS, LoongArch and NIOS2 from Feiyang Chen. - Shiyang Ruan has done some work on fsdax, to make its reflink mode work better under xfstests. Better, but still not perfect. - Christoph Hellwig has removed the .writepage() method from several filesystems. They only need .writepages(). - Yosry Ahmed wrote a series which fixes the memcg reclaim target beancounting. - David Hildenbrand has fixed some of our MM selftests for 32-bit machines. - Many singleton patches, as usual. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iHUEABYKAB0WIQTTMBEPP41GrTpTJgfdBJ7gKXxAjgUCY5j6ZwAKCRDdBJ7gKXxA jkDYAP9qNeVqp9iuHjZNTqzMXkfmJPsw2kmy2P+VdzYVuQRcJgEAgoV9d7oMq4ml CodAgiA51qwzId3GRytIo/tfWZSezgA= =d19R -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'mm-stable-2022-12-13' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton: - More userfaultfs work from Peter Xu - Several convert-to-folios series from Sidhartha Kumar and Huang Ying - Some filemap cleanups from Vishal Moola - David Hildenbrand added the ability to selftest anon memory COW handling - Some cpuset simplifications from Liu Shixin - Addition of vmalloc tracing support by Uladzislau Rezki - Some pagecache folioifications and simplifications from Matthew Wilcox - A pagemap cleanup from Kefeng Wang: we have VM_ACCESS_FLAGS, so use it - Miguel Ojeda contributed some cleanups for our use of the __no_sanitize_thread__ gcc keyword.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
