Pull header cleanups from Kent Overstreet:
 "The goal is to get sched.h down to a type only header, so the main
  thing happening in this patchset is splitting out various _types.h
  headers and dependency fixups, as well as moving some things out of
  sched.h to better locations.

  This is prep work for the memory allocation profiling patchset which
  adds new sched.h interdepencencies"

 "Quite a lot of kexec work this time around. Many singleton patches in
  many places. The notable patch series are:

   - nilfs2 folio conversion from Matthew Wilcox in 'nilfs2: Folio

   - Additional nilfs2 folio conversion from Ryusuke Konishi in 'nilfs2:
     Folio conversions for directory paths'.

   - IA64 remnant removal in Heiko Carstens's 'Remove unused code after
     IA-64 removal'.

   - Arnd Bergmann has enabled the -Wmissing-prototypes warning
     everywhere in 'Treewide: enable -Wmissing-prototypes'. This had
     some followup fixes:

      - Nathan Chancellor has cleaned up the hexagon build in the series
        'hexagon: Fix up instances of -Wmissing-prototypes'.

      - Nathan also addressed some s390 warnings in 's390: A couple of

      - Arnd Bergmann addresses the same warnings for MIPS in his series
        'mips: address -Wmissing-prototypes warnings'.

   - Baoquan He has made kexec_file operate in a top-down-fitting manner
     similar to kexec_load in the series 'kexec_file: Load kernel at top
     of system RAM if required'

   - Baoquan He has also added the self-explanatory 'kexec_file: print

   - Some checkstack maintenance work from Tiezhu Yang in the series
     'Modify some code about checkstack'.

   - Douglas Anderson has disentangled the watchdog code's logging when
     multiple reports are occurring simultaneously. The series is

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:

 - Yafang Shao added task_get_cgroup1() helper to enable a similar BPF
   helper so that BPF progs can be more useful on cgroup1 hierarchies.
   While cgroup1 is mostly in maintenance mode, this addition is very
   small while having an outsized usefulness for users who are still on
   cgroup1. Yafang also optimized root cgroup list access by making it
   RCU protected in the process.

 - Waiman Long optimized rstat operation leading to substantially lower
   and more consistent lock hold time while flushing the hierarchical
   statistics. As the lock can be acquired briefly in various hot paths,
   this reduction has cascading benefits.

 - Waiman also improved the quality of isolation for cpuset's isolated
   partitions. CPUs which are allocated to isolated partitions are now
   excluded from running unbound work items and cpu_is_isolated() test
   which is used by vmstat and memcg to reduce interference now includes
   cpuset isolated CPUs. While it isn't there yet, the hope is
   eventually reaching parity with the isolation level provided by the
   `isolcpus` boot param but in a dynamic manner.

Create a new method to get a unique and fixed max frequency. Currently
cpuinfo.max_freq or the highest (or last) state of performance domain are
used as the max frequency when computing the frequency for a level of
utilization, but:

  - cpuinfo_max_freq can change at runtime. boost is one example of
    such change.

  - cpuinfo.max_freq and last item of the PD can be different leading to
    different results between cpufreq and energy model.

We need to save the reference frequency that has been used when computing
the CPUs capacity and use this fixed and coherent value to convert between
frequency and CPU's capacity.

In fact, we already save the frequency that has been used when computing
the capacity of each CPU. We extend the precision to save kHz instead of
MHz currently and we modify the type to be aligned with other variables
used when converting frequency to capacity and the other way.

utilization, but:

  - cpuinfo_max_freq can change at runtime. boost is one example of
    such change.

  - cpuinfo.max_freq and last item of the PD can be different leading to
    different results between cpufreq and energy model.

We need to save the reference frequency that has been used when computing
the CPUs capacity and use this fixed and coherent value to convert between
frequency and CPU's capacity.

In fact, we already save the frequency that has been used when computing
the capacity of each CPU. We extend the precision to save kHz instead of
MHz currently and we modify the type to be aligned with other variables
used when converting frequency to capacity and the other way.

This is needed for killing the sched.h dependency on rcupdate.h, and
pid.h is a better place for this code anyways.

<title>kernel/signal.c: simplify force_sig_info_to_task(), kill recalc_sigpending_and_wake()</title>

The purpose of recalc_sigpending_and_wake() is not clear, it looks
"obviously unneeded" because we are going to send the signal which can't
be blocked or ignored.

Add the comment to explain why we can't rely on send_signal_locked() and
make this logic more simple/explicit.  recalc_sigpending_and_wake() has no
other users, it can die.

In fact I think we don't even need signal_wake_up(), the target task must
be either current or a TASK_TRACED child, otherwise the usage of siglock
is not safe.  But this needs another change.
