Merge tag 'mm-nonmm-stable-2025-05-31-15-28' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm
Pull non-MM updates from Andrew Morton: - "hung_task: extend blocking task stacktrace dump to semaphore" from Lance Yang enhances the hung task detector. The detector presently dumps the blocking tasks's stack when it is blocked on a mutex. Lance's series extends this to semaphores - "nilfs2: improve sanity checks in dirty state propagation" from Wentao Liang addresses a couple of minor flaws in nilfs2 - "scripts/gdb: Fixes related to lx_per_cpu()" from Illia Ostapyshyn fixes a couple of issues in the gdb scripts - "Support kdump with LUKS encryption by reusing LUKS volume keys" from Coiby Xu addresses a usability problem with kdump. When the dump device is LUKS-encrypted, the kdump kernel may not have the keys to the encrypted filesystem. A full writeup of this is in the series [0/N] cover letter - "sysfs: add counters for lockups and stalls" from Max Kellermann adds /sys/kernel/hardlockup_count and /sys/kernel/hardlockup_count and /sys/kernel/rcu_stall_count - "fork: Page operation cleanups in the fork code" from Pasha Tatashin implements a number of code cleanups in fork.c - "scripts/gdb/symbols: determine KASLR offset on s390 during early boot" from Ilya Leoshkevich fixes some s390 issues in the gdb scripts * tag 'mm-nonmm-stable-2025-05-31-15-28' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm: (67 commits) llist: make llist_add_batch() a static inline delayacct: remove redundant code and adjust indentation squashfs: add optional full compressed block caching crash_dump, nvme: select CONFIGFS_FS as built-in scripts/gdb/symbols: determine KASLR offset on s390 during early boot scripts/gdb/symbols: factor out pagination_off() scripts/gdb/symbols: factor out get_vmlinux() kernel/panic.c: format kernel-doc comments mailmap: update and consolidate Casey Connolly's name and email nilfs2: remove wbc->for_reclaim handling fork: define a local GFP_VMAP_STACK fork: check charging success before zeroing stack fork: clean-up naming of vm_stack/vm_struct variables in vmap stacks code fork: clean-up ifdef logic around stack allocation kernel/rcu/tree_stall: add /sys/kernel/rcu_stall_count kernel/watchdog: add /sys/kernel/{hard,soft}lockup_count x86/crash: make the page that stores the dm crypt keys inaccessible x86/crash: pass dm crypt keys to kdump kernel Revert "x86/mm: Remove unused __set_memory_prot()" crash_dump: retrieve dm crypt keys in kdump kernel ...
