Pull objtool fixes from Ingo Molnar:
 "These are objtool fixes and updates by Josh Poimboeuf, centered around
  the fallout from the new CONFIG_OBJTOOL_WERROR=y feature, which,
  despite its default-off nature, increased the profile/impact of
  objtool warnings:

   - Improve error handling and the presentation of warnings/errors

   - Revert the new summary warning line that some test-bot tools
     interpreted as new regressions

   - Fix a number of objtool warnings in various drivers, core kernel
     code and architecture code. About half of them are potential
     problems related to out-of-bounds accesses or potential undefined
     behavior, the other half are additional objtool annotations

   - Update objtool to latest (known) compiler quirks and objtool bugs
     triggered by compiler code generation

   - Misc fixes"

sched_smt_active() can be called from noinstr code, so it should always
be inlined.  The CONFIG_SCHED_SMT version already has __always_inline.
Do the same for its !CONFIG_SCHED_SMT counterpart.

Fixes the following warning:

  vmlinux.o: error: objtool: intel_idle_ibrs+0x13: call to sched_smt_active() leaves .noinstr.text section

Pull timer core updates from Thomas Gleixner:

 - Fix a memory ordering issue in posix-timers

   Posix-timer lookup is lockless and reevaluates the timer validity
   under the timer lock, but the update which validates the timer is not
   protected by the timer lock. That allows the store to be reordered
   against the initialization stores, so that the lookup side can
   observe a partially initialized timer. That's mostly a theoretical
   problem, but incorrect nevertheless.

 - Fix a long standing inconsistency of the coarse time getters

   The coarse time getters read the base time of the current update
   cycle without reading the actual hardware clock. NTP frequency
   adjustment can set the base time backwards. The fine grained
   interfaces compensate this by reading the clock and applying the new
   conversion factor, but the coarse grained time getters use the base
   time directly. That allows the user to observe time going backwards.

   Cure it by always forwarding base time, when NTP changes the
   frequency with an immediate step.

 - Rework of posix-timer hashing

   The posix-timer hash is not scalable and due to the CRIU timer
   restore mechanism prone to massive contention on the global hash
   bucket lock.

   Replace the global hash lock with a fine grained per bucket locking
   scheme to address that.

 - Rework the proc/$PID/timers interface.

   /proc/$PID/timers is provided for CRIU to be able to restore a timer.
   The printout happens with sighand lock held and interrupts disabled.
   That's not required as this can be done with RCU protection as well.

 - Provide a sane mechanism for CRIU to restore a timer ID

   CRIU restores timers by creating and deleting them until the kernel
   internal per process ID counter reached the requested ID. That's
   horribly slow for sparse timer IDs.

   Provide a prctl() which allows CRIU to restore a timer with a given
   ID. When enabled the ID pointer is used as input pointer to read the
   requested ID from user space. When disabled, the normal allocation
   scheme (next ID) is active as before. This is backwards compatible
   for both kernel and user space.

 - Make hrtimer_update_function() less expensive.

   The sanity checks are valuable, but expensive for high frequency
   usage in io/uring. Make the debug checks conditional and enable them
   only when lockdep is enabled.

 - Small updates, cleanups and improvements

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.

<title>cpuidle, sched: Use smp_mb__after_atomic() in current_clr_polling()</title>

<content type='text'>
In architectures that use the polling bit, current_clr_polling() employs
smp_mb() to ensure that the clearing of the polling bit is visible to
other cores before checking TIF_NEED_RESCHED.

However, smp_mb() can be costly. Given that clear_bit() is an atomic
operation, replacing smp_mb() with smp_mb__after_atomic() is appropriate.

Many architectures implement smp_mb__after_atomic() as a lighter-weight
barrier compared to smp_mb(), leading to performance improvements.
For instance, on x86, smp_mb__after_atomic() is a no-op. This change
eliminates a smp_mb() instruction in the cpuidle wake-up path, saving
several CPU cycles and thereby reducing wake-up latency.

Architectures that do not use the polling bit will retain the original
smp_mb() behavior to ensure that existing dependencies remain unaffected.

All the big Linux distros enable CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG, because
the various features it provides help not just with kernel
development, but with system administration and user-space
software development as well.

Reflect this reality and enable this functionality

dl_rebuild_rd_accounting() is defined in cpuset.c, so it makes more
sense to move related declarations to cpuset.h.

Implement the move.

<title>sched/deadline: Rebuild root domain accounting after every update</title>

Rebuilding of root domains accounting information (total_bw) is
currently broken on some cases, e.g. suspend/resume on aarch64. Problem
is that the way we keep track of domain changes and try to add bandwidth
back is convoluted and fragile.

Fix it by simplify things by making sure bandwidth accounting is cleared
and completely restored after root domains changes (after root domains
are again stable).

To be sure we always call dl_rebuild_rd_accounting while holding
cpuset_mutex we also add cpuset_reset_sched_domains() wrapper.
