Linux 6.5 changelog.

• Take a look at the list of pull requests below:

1. Prominent features

1.1. Allow to move mounts beneath top mount

Some modern Linux distributions distribute packages in a way that there is a base distro layer with the usual Linux directories such as /etc or /usr, then users can install packages that provide a "layer" that incorporates content to these directories.

Updating one of those packages require incorporating a new mount to user processes, and removing the old. This can be done but it's currently too complex and has some limitations. This release exposes the ability to mount beneath a top mount through the new MOVE_MOUNT_BENEATH flag for the move_mount(2) system call, then the old mount can be unmounted, and users get either the old or the new mount, but never the ones below. This allows userspace to seamlessly upgrade mounts.

For more details, see this LWN article, or this one

1.2. New cachestat(2) system call to get the cache state of files

The only way to query the page cache state of large file sets and directory trees is currently mincore(2), but it scales poorly. Yet, this information could come in handy: A database could decide whether to perform an index scan or direct table queries based on the in-memory cache state of the index. Performance issues of the writeback algorithms and tuning could be diagnosed. IO fulfilled by page cache (and IO to be done) within a range of a file could be estimated, allowing for more frequent syncing when and where there is IO capacity, and batching when there is not

This release includes a cachestat system call that queries cache state of a file and summarizes the number of cached pages, number of dirty pages, number of pages marked for writeback, number of (recently) evicted pages, etc. in a given range.

Recommended LWN article: Checking page-cache status with cachestat()

1.3. Support for unaccepted memory

UEFI Specification version 2.9 introduces the concept of memory acceptance: some Virtual Machine platforms, such as Intel TDX or AMD SEV-SNP, requiring memory to be accepted before it can be used by the guest. Accepting happens via a protocol specific for the Virtual Machine platform. This release adds support for it.

Recommended LWN article: Seeking an acceptable unaccepted memory policy
