ASoC: Fixes for v6.19

We've been quite busy with fixes since the merge window, though not in
any particularly exciting ways - the standout thing is the fix for _SX
controls which were broken by a change to how we do clamping, otherwise
it's all fairly run of the mill fixes and quirks.

Merge branch 'for-6.15/amd_sfh' into for-linus

From: Mario Limonciello <mario.limonciello@amd.com>

Some platforms include a human presence detection (HPD) sensor. When
enabled and a user is detected a wake event will be emitted from the
sensor fusion hub that software can react to.

Example use cases are "wake from suspend on approach" or to "lock
when leaving".

This is currently enabled by default on supported systems, but users
can't control it. This essentially means that wake on approach is
enabled which is a really surprising behavior to users that don't
expect it.

Instead of defaulting to enabled add a sysfs knob that users can
use to enable the feature if desirable and set it to disabled by
default.

Merge tag 'mm-stable-2025-01-26-14-59' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
"The various patchsets are summarized below. Plus of course many
indivudual patches which are described in their changelogs.

- "Allocate and free frozen pages" from Matthew Wilcox reorganizes
the page allocator so we end up with the ability to allocate and
free zero-refcount pages. So that callers (ie, slab) can avoid a
refcount inc & dec

- "Support large folios for tmpfs" from Baolin Wang teaches tmpfs to
use large folios other than PMD-sized ones

- "Fix mm/rodata_test" from Petr Tesarik performs some maintenance
and fixes for this small built-in kernel selftest

- "mas_anode_descend() related cleanup" from Wei Yang tidies up part
of the mapletree code

- "mm: fix format issues and param types" from Keren Sun implements a
few minor code cleanups

- "simplify split calculation" from Wei Yang provides a few fixes and
a test for the mapletree code

- "mm/vma: make more mmap logic userland testable" from Lorenzo
Stoakes continues the work of moving vma-related code into the
(relatively) new mm/vma.c

- "mm/page_alloc: gfp flags cleanups for alloc_contig_*()" from David
Hildenbrand cleans up and rationalizes handling of gfp flags in the
page allocator

- "readahead: Reintroduce fix for improper RA window sizing" from Jan
Kara is a second attempt at fixing a readahead window sizing issue.
It should reduce the amount of unnecessary reading

- "synchronously scan and reclaim empty user PTE pages" from Qi Zheng
addresses an issue where "huge" amounts of pte pagetables are
accumulated:

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/cover.1718267194.git.zhengqi.arch@bytedance.com/

Qi's series addresses this windup by synchronously freeing PTE
memory within the context of madvise(MADV_DONTNEED)

- "selftest/mm: Remove warnings found by adding compiler flags" from
Muhammad Usama Anjum fixes some build warnings in the selftests
code when optional compiler warnings are enabled

- "mm: don't use __GFP_HARDWALL when migrating remote pages" from
David Hildenbrand tightens the allocator's observance of
__GFP_HARDWALL

- "pkeys kselftests improvements" from Kevin Brodsky implements
various fixes and cleanups in the MM selftests code, mainly
pertaining to the pkeys tests

- "mm/damon: add sample modules" from SeongJae Park enhances DAMON to
estimate application working set size

- "memcg/hugetlb: Rework memcg hugetlb charging" from Joshua Hahn
provides some cleanups to memcg's hugetlb charging logic

- "mm/swap_cgroup: remove global swap cgroup lock" from Kairui Song
removes the global swap cgroup lock. A speedup of 10% for a
tmpfs-based kernel build was demonstrated

- "zram: split page type read/write handling" from Sergey Senozhatsky
has several fixes and cleaups for zram in the area of
zram_write_page(). A watchdog softlockup warning was eliminated

- "move pagetable_*_dtor() to __tlb_remove_table()" from Kevin
Brodsky cleans up the pagetable destructor implementations. A rare
use-after-free race is fixed

- "mm/debug: introduce and use VM_WARN_ON_VMG()" from Lorenzo Stoakes
simplifies and cleans up the debugging code in the VMA merging
logic

- "Account page tables at all levels" from Kevin Brodsky cleans up
and regularizes the pagetable ctor/dtor handling. This results in
improvements in accounting accuracy

- "mm/damon: replace most damon_callback usages in sysfs with new
core functions" from SeongJae Park cleans up and generalizes
DAMON's sysfs file interface logic

- "mm/damon: enable page level properties based monitoring" from
SeongJae Park increases the amount of information which is
presented in response to DAMOS actions

- "mm/damon: remove DAMON debugfs interface" from SeongJae Park
removes DAMON's long-deprecated debugfs interfaces. Thus the
migration to sysfs is completed

- "mm/hugetlb: Refactor hugetlb allocation resv accounting" from
Peter Xu cleans up and generalizes the hugetlb reservation
accounting

- "mm: alloc_pages_bulk: small API refactor" from Luiz Capitulino
removes a never-used feature of the alloc_pages_bulk() interface

- "mm/damon: extend DAMOS filters for inclusion" from SeongJae Park
extends DAMOS filters to support not only exclusion (rejecting),
but also inclusion (allowing) behavior

- "Add zpdesc memory descriptor for zswap.zpool" from Alex Shi
introduces a new memory descriptor for zswap.zpool that currently
overlaps with struct page for now. This is part of the effort to
reduce the size of struct page and to enable dynamic allocation of
memory descriptors

- "mm, swap: rework of swap allocator locks" from Kairui Song redoes
and simplifies the swap allocator locking. A speedup of 400% was
demonstrated for one workload. As was a 35% reduction for kernel
build time with swap-on-zram

- "mm: update mips to use do_mmap(), make mmap_region() internal"
from Lorenzo Stoakes reworks MIPS's use of mmap_region() so that
mmap_region() can be made MM-internal

- "mm/mglru: performance optimizations" from Yu Zhao fixes a few
MGLRU regressions and otherwise improves MGLRU performance

- "Docs/mm/damon: add tuning guide and misc updates" from SeongJae
Park updates DAMON documentation

- "Cleanup for memfd_create()" from Isaac Manjarres does that thing

- "mm: hugetlb+THP folio and migration cleanups" from David
Hildenbrand provides various cleanups in the areas of hugetlb
folios, THP folios and migration

- "Uncached buffered IO" from Jens Axboe implements the new
RWF_DONTCACHE flag which provides synchronous dropbehind for
pagecache reading and writing. To permite userspace to address
issues with massive buildup of useless pagecache when
reading/writing fast devices

- "selftests/mm: virtual_address_range: Reduce memory" from Thomas
Weißschuh fixes and optimizes some of the MM selftests"

kasan: make kasan_record_aux_stack_noalloc() the default behaviour

kasan_record_aux_stack_noalloc() was introduced to record a stack trace
without allocating memory in the process. It has been added to callers
which were invoked while a raw_spinlock_t was held. More and more callers
were identified and changed over time. Is it a good thing to have this
while functions try their best to do a locklessly setup? The only
downside of having kasan_record_aux_stack() not allocate any memory is
that we end up without a stacktrace if stackdepot runs out of memory and
at the same stacktrace was not recorded before To quote Marco Elver from
https://lore.kernel.org/all/CANpmjNPmQYJ7pv1N3cuU8cP18u7PP_uoZD8YxwZd4jtbof9nVQ@mail.gmail.com/

| I'd be in favor, it simplifies things. And stack depot should be
| able to replenish its pool sufficiently in the "non-aux" cases
| i.e. regular allocations. Worst case we fail to record some
| aux stacks, but I think that's only really bad if there's a bug
| around one of these allocations. In general the probabilities
| of this being a regression are extremely small [...]

Make the kasan_record_aux_stack_noalloc() behaviour default as
kasan_record_aux_stack().
