Pull sched_ext updates from Tejun Heo:

 - More in-kernel idle CPU selection improvements. Expand topology
   awareness coverage add scx_bpf_select_cpu_and() to allow more
   flexibility. The idle CPU selection kfuncs can now be called from
   unlocked contexts too.

 - A bunch of reorganization changes to lay the foundation for multiple
   hierarchical scheduler support. This isn't ready yet and the included
   changes don't make meaningful behavior differences. One notable
   change is replacing some static_key tests with dynamic tests as the
   test results may differ depending on the scheduler instance. This
   isn't expected to cause meaningful performance difference.

 - Other minor and doc updates.

 - There were multiple patches in for-6.15-fixes which conflicted with
   changes in for-6.16. for-6.15-fixes were pulled three times into
   for-6.16 to resolve the conflicts.

Mentions of CFS are stale since the fair-class scheduler is implemented using
EEVDF. So, convert such mentions to "fair-class scheduler" to stay
algorithm-name agnostic.

Everywhere else in this doc, the dispatch queue acronym (DSQ) is
uppercase. There were a couple places where the acronym was written in
lowercase. I changed them to uppercase to make it homogeneous.

Pull sched_ext updates from Tejun Heo:

 - Add mechanism to count and report internal events. This significantly
   improves visibility on subtle corner conditions.

 - The default idle CPU selection logic is revamped and improved in
   multiple ways including being made topology aware.

 - sched_ext was disabling ttwu_queue for simplicity, which can be
   costly when hardware topology is more complex. Implement
   SCX_OPS_ALLOWED_QUEUED_WAKEUP so that BPF schedulers can selectively
   enable ttwu_queue.

 - tools/sched_ext updates to improve compatibility among others.

 - Other misc updates and fixes.

 - sched_ext/for-6.14-fixes were pulled a few times to receive
   prerequisite fixes and resolve conflicts.

Pull sched_ext updates from Tejun Heo:

 - Add mechanism to count and report internal events. This significantly
   improves visibility on subtle corner conditions.

 - The default idle CPU selection logic is revamped and improved in
   multiple ways including being made topology aware.

 - sched_ext was disabling ttwu_queue for simplicity, which can be
   costly when hardware topology is more complex. Implement
   SCX_OPS_ALLOWED_QUEUED_WAKEUP so that BPF schedulers can selectively
   enable ttwu_queue.

 - tools/sched_ext updates to improve compatibility among others.

 - Other misc updates and fixes.

 - sched_ext/for-6.14-fixes were pulled a few times to receive
   prerequisite fixes and resolve conflicts.

Since it's enabled unconditionally now, remove all references to it.

<title>sched/rt: Update limit of sched_rt sysctl in documentation</title>

By default fair_server dl_server allocates 5% of the bandwidth to the root
domain. Due to this writing any value less than 5% fails due to -EBUSY:

  $ cat /proc/sys/kernel/sched_rt_period_us
  1000000

  $ echo 49999 &gt; /proc/sys/kernel/sched_rt_runtime_us
  -bash: echo: write error: Device or resource busy

  $ echo 50000 &gt; /proc/sys/kernel/sched_rt_runtime_us
  $

Since the sched_rt_runtime_us allows -1 as the minimum, put this
restriction in the documentation.

One should check average of runtime/period in
/sys/kernel/debug/sched/fair_server/cpuX/* for exact value.
