6e17c6de3d - Yosry Ahmed brought back some cgroup v1 stats in OOM logs.
- Yosry has also eliminated cgroup's atomic rstat flushing.
 
 - Nhat Pham adds the new cachestat() syscall.  It provides userspace
   with the ability to query pagecache status - a similar concept to
   mincore() but more powerful and with improved usability.
 
 - Mel Gorman provides more optimizations for compaction, reducing the
   prevalence of page rescanning.

   interface.

   tree code.  Peng Zhang also does some work on maple tree.

01d6c48a82 Documentation: kselftest: "make headers" is a prerequisite
As per a discussion with Muhammad Usama Anjum [1], the following is how
one is supposed to build selftests:

    make headers && make -C tools/testing/selftests/mm

However, that's not yet documented anywhere. So add it to
Documentation/dev-tools/kselftest.rst .

f6a01213e3 selftests: allow runners to override the timeout
The default timeout for selftests tests is 45 seconds. Although
we already have 13 settings for tests of about 96 sefltests which
use a timeout greater than this, we want to try to avoid encouraging
more tests to forcing a higher test timeout as selftests strives to
run all tests quickly. Selftests also uses the timeout as a non-fatal
error. Only tests runners which have control over a system would know
if to treat a timeout as fatal or not.

To help with all this:

  o Enhance documentation to avoid future increases of insane timeouts
  o Add the option to allow overriding the default timeout with test
    runners with a command line option

This KUnit update for Linux 5.20-rc1 consists of several fixes and an
 important feature to discourage running KUnit tests on production
 systems. Running tests on a production system could leave the system
 in a bad state. This new feature adds:
 
 - adds a new taint type, TAINT_TEST to signal that a test has been run.
   This should discourage people from running these tests on production
   systems, and to make it easier to tell if tests have been run
   accidentally (by loading the wrong configuration, etc.)
 
 - several documentation and tool enhancements and fixes.

8370b400f5 selftest: Taint kernel when test module loaded
Make any kselftest test module (using the kselftest_module framework)
taint the kernel with TAINT_TEST on module load.

Also mark the module as a test module using MODULE_INFO(test, "Y") so
that other tools can tell this is a test module. We can't rely solely
on this, though, as these test modules are also often built-in.

Finally, update the kselftest documentation to mention that the kernel
should be tainted, and how to do so manually (as below).

Note that several selftests use kernel modules which are not based on
the kselftest_module framework, and so will not automatically taint the
kernel.

This can be done in two ways:
- Moving the module to the tools/testing directory. All modules under
  this directory will taint the kernel.
- Adding the 'test' module property with:
  MODULE_INFO(test, "Y")

Similarly, selftests which do not load modules into the kernel generally
should not taint the kernel (or possibly should only do so on failure),
as it's assumed that testing from user-space should be safe. Regardless,
they can write to /proc/sys/kernel/tainted if required.

a5f304670b selftests: introduce gen_tar Makefile target
The gen_kselftest_tar.sh always packages *all* selftests and doesn't
pass along any variables to `make install` to influence what should be
built. This can result in an early error on the command line ("Unknown
tarball format TARGETS=XXX"), or unexpected test failures as the
tarball contains tests people wanted to skip on purpose.

Since the makefile already contains all the logic, we can add a target
for packaging. Keep the default .gz target the script uses, and actually
extend the supported formats by using tar's autodetection.

To not break current workflows, keep the gen_kselftest_tar.sh script as
it is, with an added suggestion to use the makefile target instead.

eebf4dd452 kselftest: Add test module framework header
kselftest runs as a userspace process.  Sometimes we need to test things
from kernel space.  One way of doing this is by creating a test module.
Currently doing so requires developers to write a bunch of boiler plate
in the module if kselftest is to be used to run the tests.  This means
we currently have a load of duplicate code to achieve these ends.  If we
have a uniform method for implementing test modules then we can reduce
code duplication, ensure uniformity in the test framework, ease code
maintenance, and reduce the work required to create tests.  This all
helps to encourage developers to write and run tests.

Add a C header file that can be included in test modules.  This provides
a single point for common test functions/macros.  Implement a few macros
that make up the start of the test framework.

Add documentation for new kselftest header to kselftest documentation.

fde662d9c3 kselftest.rst: do some adjustments after ReST conversion
Do some minor adjustments after ReST conversion:

- On most documents, we use prepend a "$ " before
  command line arguments;

- Prefer to use :: on the preceding line;

- Split a multi-paragraph description as such.
