[PATCH v5 00/15] Fast kernel headers: split linux/mm.h

[Max Kellermann]

This patch set aims to clean up the linux/mm.h header and reduce
dependencies on it by moving parts out.

The goal was to eliminate dependencies on linux/mm.h from other
popular headers such as highmem.h and dma-mapping.h, and I started by
checking which symbols were really used and moved those declarations
to separate slim headers.

This patch set borrows the name "fast kernel headers" from Ingo
Molnar's effort a few years ago.  While this kind of refactoring does
indeed improve build times because the amount of code that has to be
processed in each compilation unit is reduced, build speed is the
least important advantage.

Much more important is that this gives us greater confidence that the
code is correct: if we forget to include a header, it might (or might
not) already be included indirectly by some other header somewhere
down the large impenetrable include tree.  Chances are almost 100%
that linux/kernel.h or linux/mm.h gets included somewhere, which then
in turn includes everything else.  Now if this indirect include just
happens to be changed eventually, the build may suddenly fail at
remote places.  Worse, an #ifdef may silently produce different code.
Therefore, at each source file, all the includes that are needed
should be included directly (but not more).  This is only possible if
headers are small, and linux/mm.h and linux/kernel.h are large
offenders resisting the cleanup.

Therefore, splitting those is the first step towards leaner header
dependencies.  This patch set starts with linux/mm.h, and I am already
preparing another patch set addressing linux/kernel.h.

Some of these changes were part of a previous, bigger patch set
(https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20240131145008.1345531-1-max.kellermann@xxxxxxxxx/)
but this patch set grew so large, it could not be reviewed.  This is
an attempt to break the patch set into smaller pieces.

  new headers from page_*.h to folio_*.h as suggested by Matthew
  Wilcox; rebase on linux-next; fix build failures on architectures
  um,nios2,hexagon by adding more missing includes
v2 -> v3: rebase on linux-next
v3 -> v4: rebase on linux-next; fix build failure on loongarch64
  (reported by kernel test robot); add missing includes to
  drivers/dma/bcm2835-dma.c and include/scsi/scsicam.h
v4 -> v5: rebase on linux-next; more text in cover letter as suggested
  by David Hildrenbrand
