Merge tag 'slab-for-6.5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vbabka/slab
Pull slab updates from Vlastimil Babka:
- SLAB deprecation:
Following the discussion at LSF/MM 2023 [1] and no objections, the
SLAB allocator is deprecated by renaming the config option (to make
its users notice) to CONFIG_SLAB_DEPRECATED with updated help text.
SLUB should be used instead. Existing defconfigs with CONFIG_SLAB are
also updated.
- SLAB_NO_MERGE kmem_cache flag (Jesper Dangaard Brouer):
There are (very limited) cases where kmem_cache merging is
undesirable, and existing ways to prevent it are hacky. Introduce a
new flag to do that cleanly and convert the existing hacky users.
Btrfs plans to use this for debug kernel builds (that use case is
always fine), networking for performance reasons (that should be very
rare).
- Replace the usage of weak PRNGs (David Keisar Schmidt):
In addition to using stronger RNGs for the security related features,
the code is a bit cleaner.
- Misc code cleanups (SeongJae Parki, Xiongwei Song, Zhen Lei, and
zhaoxinchao)

As discussed at LSF/MM [1] [2] and with no objections raised there,
deprecate the SLAB allocator. Rename the user-visible option so that
users with CONFIG_SLAB=y get a new prompt with explanation during make
oldconfig, while make olddefconfig will just switch to SLUB.
In all defconfigs with CONFIG_SLAB=y remove the line so those also
switch to SLUB. Regressions due to the switch should be reported to
linux-mm and slab maintainers.

Patch series "remove Xen tmem leftovers".
Since the removal of the Xen tmem driver in 2019, the cleancache hooks
are entirely unused, as are large parts of frontswap. This series
against linux-next (with the folio changes included) removes
cleancaches, and cuts down frontswap to the bits actually used by zswap.
This patch (of 13):
The cleancache subsystem is unused since the removal of Xen tmem driver
in commit 814bbf49dc ("xen: remove tmem driver").

This allows m68k q40 systems to switch from the deprecated IDE subsystem

Enhance the byte-swapping falconide and pata_falcon platform drivers to
accept an irq resource, for use on q40. Atari ST-DMA IRQ arrangements seem
to co-exist with q40 IRQ arrangements without too much mess.
The new IO resources were added solely for the purpose of making
request_region() reservations identical to those made by q40ide: these
regions aren't used for actual IO.

This allows m68k mac systems to switch from the deprecated IDE subsystem
to libata.
This was tested on my Quadra 630. I haven't tested it on my PowerBook 150
because I don't have a RAM adapter board for it. It appears that the
hardware I tested doesn't need macide_clear_irq() or macide_test_irq().
If it did, the generic driver would not have worked. It's possible that
those routines are needed for the PowerBook 150 but we can cross that
bridge if and when we come to it.
BTW, macide_clear_irq() appears to suffer from a race condition. The write
to the interrupt flags register could have unintended side effects as it
may alter other flag bits. Fortunately, all of the other bits are unused
by Linux. When tested on my Quadra 630, the assignment *ide_ifr &= ~0x20
was observed to have no effect on bit 5, so it may be redundant anyway.

Patch series "drivers/char: remove /dev/kmem for good".
Exploring /dev/kmem and /dev/mem in the context of memory hot(un)plug and
memory ballooning, I started questioning the existence of /dev/kmem.
Comparing it with the /proc/kcore implementation, it does not seem to be
able to deal with things like
a) Pages unmapped from the direct mapping (e.g., to be used by secretmem)
-> kern_addr_valid(). virt_addr_valid() is not sufficient.
b) Special cases like gart aperture memory that is not to be touched
-> mem_pfn_is_ram()
Unless I am missing something, it's at least broken in some cases and might
fault/crash the machine.
Looks like its existence has been questioned before in 2005 and 2010 [1],
after ~11 additional years, it might make sense to revive the discussion.
CONFIG_DEVKMEM is only enabled in a single defconfig (on purpose or by
mistake?). All distributions disable it: in Ubuntu it has been disabled
for more than 10 years, in Debian since 2.6.31, in Fedora at least
starting with FC3, in RHEL starting with RHEL4, in SUSE starting from
15sp2, and OpenSUSE has it disabled as well.
1) /dev/kmem was popular for rootkits [2] before it got disabled
basically everywhere. Ubuntu documents [3] "There is no modern user of
/dev/kmem any more beyond attackers using it to load kernel rootkits.".
RHEL documents in a BZ [5] "it served no practical purpose other than to
serve as a potential security problem or to enable binary module drivers
to access structures/functions they shouldn't be touching"
2) /proc/kcore is a decent interface to have a controlled way to read
kernel memory for debugging puposes. (will need some extensions to
deal with memory offlining/unplug, memory ballooning, and poisoned
pages, though)
3) It might be useful for corner case debugging [1]. KDB/KGDB might be a
better fit, especially, to write random memory; harder to shoot
yourself into the foot.
4) "Kernel Memory Editor" [4] hasn't seen any updates since 2000 and seems
to be incompatible with 64bit [1]. For educational purposes,
/proc/kcore might be used to monitor value updates -- or older
kernels can be used.
5) It's broken on arm64, and therefore, completely disabled there.
Looks like it's essentially unused and has been replaced by better
suited interfaces for individual tasks (/proc/kcore, KDB/KGDB). Let's
just remove it.

Add platform devices for the Mac IDE controller variants. Convert the
macide module into a platform driver to support two of those variants.
For the third, use a generic "pata_platform" driver instead.
This enables automatic loading of the appropriate module and begins
the process of replacing the driver with libata alternatives.

This kernel configuration is basically enabling/disabling sr driver quirks
detection. While these quirks are for fairly rare devices (very old CD
burners, and a glucometer), the additional detection of these models is a
very minimal amount of code.
The logic behind the quirks is always built into the sr driver.
This also removes the config from all the defconfig files that are enabling
this already.
