Merge tag 'sched_ext-for-7.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/sched_ext

Pull sched_ext updates from Tejun Heo:
"Most of this cycle completes the enqueue-path support for hierarchical
sub-scheduling, which makes sub-scheduler support feature complete: a
root BPF scheduler can now hand a cgroup subtree over to a nested
sub-scheduler together with revocable CPU grants, and the
sub-scheduler owns all scheduling decisions for its tasks on those
CPUs.

Development volume was high and a number of changes plugging holes in
the new support landed late in the cycle. Also included are core
scheduling fixes that were completed too late for the v7.2 release and
are routed through this pull request.

Sub-scheduler CPU delegation:

- Parent schedulers now grant and revoke per-CPU capabilities
(enqueueing, preemption, CPU frequency control) on their children,
enforced on every path a scheduler can reach a CPU through.
Previously only dispatching could be delegated; this lets
sub-schedulers fully schedule their CPUs.

- Rescue execution: a task whose scheduler doesn't have access to the
CPUs the task needs to run on starved until the watchdog ejected
the whole scheduler. The kernel now runs such tasks directly on a
small bandwidth budget, turning a scheduler-killing failure into
bounded degradation.

- Cgroup integration: tasks migrating across a sub-scheduler boundary
weren't re-homed to the new owner, causing wrong-scheduler
scheduling and a use-after-free. Sub-schedulers now take over their
cgroup subtree and receive its cgroup callbacks.

- Arena objects now cross the kernel/BPF boundary as typed pointer
arguments, translated transparently by the BPF tree's new arena
argument support, replacing untyped arguments with manual
translation.

- scx_qmap now demonstrates full hierarchical sub-scheduling.

Other fixes and updates:

- Robustness improvements: the abort path is now NMI-safe, fixing
deadlocks when errors are raised from NMI context and making
hardlockup recovery direct. Reenqueue loops that could monopolize a
CPU ahead of the watchdog now eject the offending scheduler, and
stalls are blamed on the scheduler actually responsible.

- Hardening: BPF-writable arena memory is validated before kernel
use, and task slice and vtime writes got explicit synchronization
rules, closing corruption vectors open to buggy or malicious
schedulers.

- Core scheduling: sched_ext dispatching can drop the rq lock inside
the core-wide pick, which let interleaving selections corrupt each
other's state and hard-hang the machine. The selection now restarts
when the lock was released. The task ordering callback was also
invoked with its arguments swapped, and the default ordering is
updated to work across sub-scheduler boundaries. The fixes are
marked for stable.

- Other fixes headed for stable: a task init leak on fork failure
during enable, tooling compat macros that silently failed to detect
newer kernels, and a crash on reenqueueing against a destroyed
dispatch queue.

- Tooling: scx_pair moves off deprecated callbacks, and the
deprecated scx_bpf_cpu_rq() kfunc is removed"

preempt: Introduce HAS_SEPARATE_PREEMPT_RESCHED_BITS

With the changes that enable preempt count to track IRQ disabling
nesting, we don't have enough bits in 32-bit preempt count
implementation, as a result we move NMI nesting bits out of the 32-bit
preempt count. However on the architectures that can support 64-bit
preempt count implementation, we can keep the NMI nesting bits in the
32-bit preempt count and avoid maintaining NMI nesting bits outside of
the same cache line.

Therefore HAS_SEPARATE_PREEMPT_RESCHED_BITS is introduced to allow
architectures to select this. Note that under this Kconfig, preempt
count is maintained in a 64-bit word however preempt_count() still
remains as an int because all the effective bits still fit in
(previously we mask out NEED_RESCHED bit in preempt_count()). This
should make no functional changes for existing preempt_count() users.

Enable this for x86_64 along with the introduction of the Kconfig.

[boqun: Undo the __preempt_count_{add,sub}() optimization in 32-bit
preempt count since it may introduce {over,under}flow]

Merge tag 'sched-core-2026-02-09' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
"Scheduler Kconfig space updates:

- Further consolidate configurable preemption modes (Peter Zijlstra)

Reduce the number of architectures that are allowed to offer
PREEMPT_NONE and PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY, reducing the number of
preemption models from four to just two: 'full' and 'lazy' on
up-to-date architectures (arm64, loongarch, powerpc, riscv, s390,
x86).

None and voluntary are only available as legacy features on
platforms that don't implement lazy preemption yet, or which don't
even support preemption.

The goal is to eventually remove cond_resched() and voluntary
preemption altogether.

RSEQ based 'scheduler time slice extension' support (Thomas Gleixner
and Peter Zijlstra):

This allows a thread to request a time slice extension when it enters
a critical section to avoid contention on a resource when the thread
is scheduled out inside of the critical section.

- Add fields and constants for time slice extension
- Provide static branch for time slice extensions
- Add statistics for time slice extensions
- Add prctl() to enable time slice extensions
- Implement sys_rseq_slice_yield()
- Implement syscall entry work for time slice extensions
- Implement time slice extension enforcement timer
- Reset slice extension when scheduled
- Implement rseq_grant_slice_extension()
- entry: Hook up rseq time slice extension
- selftests: Implement time slice extension test
- Allow registering RSEQ with slice extension
- Move slice_ext_nsec to debugfs
- Lower default slice extension
- selftests/rseq: Add rseq slice histogram script

Scheduler performance/scalability improvements:

- Update rq->avg_idle when a task is moved to an idle CPU, which
improves the scalability of various workloads (Shubhang Kaushik)

- Reorder fields in 'struct rq' for better caching (Blake Jones)

- Fair scheduler SMP NOHZ balancing code speedups (Shrikanth Hegde):
- Move checking for nohz cpus after time check
- Change likelyhood of nohz.nr_cpus
- Remove nohz.nr_cpus and use weight of cpumask instead

- Avoid false sharing for sched_clock_irqtime (Wangyang Guo)

- Cleanups (Yury Norov):
- Drop useless cpumask_empty() in find_energy_efficient_cpu()
- Simplify task_numa_find_cpu()
- Use cpumask_weight_and() in sched_balance_find_dst_group()

DL scheduler updates:

- Add a deadline server for sched_ext tasks (by Andrea Righi and Joel
Fernandes, with fixes by Peter Zijlstra)

RT scheduler updates:

- Skip currently executing CPU in rto_next_cpu() (Chen Jinghuang)

Entry code updates and performance improvements (Jinjie Ruan)

This is part of the scheduler tree in this cycle due to inter-
dependencies with the RSEQ based time slice extension work:

- Remove unused syscall argument from syscall_trace_enter()
- Rework syscall_exit_to_user_mode_work() for architecture reuse
- Add arch_ptrace_report_syscall_entry/exit()
- Inline syscall_exit_work() and syscall_trace_enter()

Scheduler core updates (Peter Zijlstra):

- Rework sched_class::wakeup_preempt() and rq_modified_*()
- Avoid rq->lock bouncing in sched_balance_newidle()
- Rename rcu_dereference_check_sched_domain() =>
rcu_dereference_sched_domain()
- <linux/compiler_types.h>: Add the __signed_scalar_typeof() helper

Fair scheduler updates/refactoring (Peter Zijlstra and Ingo Molnar):

- Fold the sched_avg update
- Change rcu_dereference_check_sched_domain() to rcu-sched
- Switch to rcu_dereference_all()
- Remove superfluous rcu_read_lock()
- Limit hrtick work
- Join two #ifdef CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED blocks
- Clean up comments in 'struct cfs_rq'
- Separate se->vlag from se->vprot
- Rename cfs_rq::avg_load to cfs_rq::sum_weight
- Rename cfs_rq::avg_vruntime to ::sum_w_vruntime & helper functions
- Introduce and use the vruntime_cmp() and vruntime_op() wrappers for
wrapped-signed aritmetics
- Sort out 'blocked_load*' namespace noise

Scheduler debugging code updates:

- Export hidden tracepoints to modules (Gabriele Monaco)

- Convert copy_from_user() + kstrtouint() to kstrtouint_from_user()
(Fushuai Wang)

- Add assertions to QUEUE_CLASS (Peter Zijlstra)

- hrtimer: Fix tracing oddity (Thomas Gleixner)

Misc fixes and cleanups:

- Re-evaluate scheduling when migrating queued tasks out of throttled
cgroups (Zicheng Qu)

- Remove task_struct->faults_disabled_mapping (Christoph Hellwig)

- Fix math notation errors in avg_vruntime comment (Zhan Xusheng)

sched: Further restrict the preemption modes

The introduction of PREEMPT_LAZY was for multiple reasons:

- PREEMPT_RT suffered from over-scheduling, hurting performance compared to
!PREEMPT_RT.

- the introduction of (more) features that rely on preemption; like
folio_zero_user() which can do large memset() without preemption checks.

(Xen already had a horrible hack to deal with long running hypercalls)

- the endless and uncontrolled sprinkling of cond_resched() -- mostly cargo
cult or in response to poor to replicate workloads.

By moving to a model that is fundamentally preemptable these things become
managable and avoid needing to introduce more horrible hacks.

Since this is a requirement; limit PREEMPT_NONE to architectures that do not
support preemption at all. Further limit PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY to those
architectures that do not yet have PREEMPT_LAZY support (with the eventual goal
to make this the empty set and completely remove voluntary preemption and
cond_resched() -- notably VOLUNTARY is already limited to !ARCH_NO_PREEMPT.)

This leaves up-to-date architectures (arm64, loongarch, powerpc, riscv, s390,
x86) with only two preemption models: full and lazy.

While Lazy has been the recommended setting for a while, not all distributions
have managed to make the switch yet. Force things along. Keep the patch minimal
in case of hard to address regressions that might pop up.
