Merge branch 'akpm' (patches from Andrew)
Merge more updates from Andrew Morton: "More mm/ work, plenty more to come Subsystems affected by this patch series: slub, memcg, gup, kasan, pagealloc, hugetlb, vmscan, tools, mempolicy, memblock, hugetlbfs, thp, mmap, kconfig" * akpm: (131 commits) arm64: mm: use ARCH_HAS_DEBUG_WX instead of arch defined x86: mm: use ARCH_HAS_DEBUG_WX instead of arch defined riscv: support DEBUG_WX mm: add DEBUG_WX support drivers/base/memory.c: cache memory blocks in xarray to accelerate lookup mm/thp: rename pmd_mknotpresent() as pmd_mkinvalid() powerpc/mm: drop platform defined pmd_mknotpresent() mm: thp: don't need to drain lru cache when splitting and mlocking THP hugetlbfs: get unmapped area below TASK_UNMAPPED_BASE for hugetlbfs sparc32: register memory occupied by kernel as memblock.memory include/linux/memblock.h: fix minor typo and unclear comment mm, mempolicy: fix up gup usage in lookup_node tools/vm/page_owner_sort.c: filter out unneeded line mm: swap: memcg: fix memcg stats for huge pages mm: swap: fix vmstats for huge pages mm: vmscan: limit the range of LRU type balancing mm: vmscan: reclaim writepage is IO cost mm: vmscan: determine anon/file pressure balance at the reclaim root mm: balance LRU lists based on relative thrashing mm: only count actual rotations as LRU reclaim cost ...
