     attach/detach, and a UAF in the init-failure error path

   - Task state-machine reorg closing concurrent enable-vs-dead races: a

     derefs or skip exit_task() cleanup

   - A scx_link_sched() self-deadlock on scx_sched_lock

cpuset_can_attach() currently adds the bandwidth of all migrating
SCHED_DEADLINE tasks to sum_migrate_dl_bw. If the source and destination
cpuset effective CPU masks do not overlap, the whole sum is then
reserved in the destination root domain.

set_cpus_allowed_dl(), however, subtracts bandwidth from the source
root domain only when the affinity change really moves the task between
root domains. A DL task can move between cpusets that are still in the
same root domain, so including that task in sum_migrate_dl_bw can reserve
destination bandwidth without a matching source-side subtraction.

Share the root-domain move test with set_cpus_allowed_dl(). Keep
nr_migrate_dl_tasks counting all migrating deadline tasks for cpuset DL
task accounting, but add to sum_migrate_dl_bw only for tasks that need a
root-domain bandwidth move. Keep using the destination cpuset effective
CPU mask and leave the broader can_attach()/attach() transaction model
unchanged.

<title>sched_ext: Close root-enable vs sched_ext_dead() race with SCX_TASK_INIT_BEGIN</title>

scx_root_enable_workfn() drops the iter rq lock for ops.init_task() and a
TASK_DEAD @p can fall through sched_ext_dead() in that window. The race hits
when sched_ext_dead() observes SCX_TASK_INIT (the intermediate state before
@p-&gt;scx.sched is published) and dereferences NULL via SCX_HAS_OP(NULL,
exit_task), or observes SCX_TASK_NONE during the unlocked init window and
skips cleanup so exit_task() never runs.

Add SCX_TASK_INIT_BEGIN. The enable path writes NONE -&gt; INIT_BEGIN under the
iter rq lock, then takes the rq lock again after init to walk INIT_BEGIN -&gt;
INIT -&gt; READY. sched_ext_dead() that wins the rq-lock race observes
INIT_BEGIN and sets DEAD without calling into ops; the post-init recheck
unwinds via scx_sub_init_cancel_task().

scx_fork() runs single-threaded against sched_ext_dead() (the task is not on
scx_tasks until scx_post_fork() adds it) so its INIT_BEGIN -&gt; INIT walk
needs no rq-lock pairing; it rolls back to NONE on ops.init_task() failure.

The validation matrix grows the INIT_BEGIN row and the INIT_BEGIN -&gt; DEAD
edge; INIT now requires INIT_BEGIN as the predecessor. scx_sub_disable()'s
migration writes INIT_BEGIN as a synthetic predecessor to satisfy the
tightened verification.

The sub-sched paths still race with sched_ext_dead() during the unlocked
init window. This will be fixed by the next patch.

<title>sched_ext: Replace SCX_TASK_OFF_TASKS flag with SCX_TASK_DEAD state</title>

SCX_TASK_OFF_TASKS marked tasks already through sched_ext_dead() so cgroup
task iteration would skip them. This can be expressed better with a task
state. Replace the flag with SCX_TASK_DEAD.

scx_disable_and_exit_task() resets state to NONE on its way out, so
sched_ext_dead() now sets DEAD after the wrapper returns. The validation
matrix grows NONE -&gt; DEAD, warns on DEAD -&gt; NONE, and tightens READY's
predecessor to INIT or ENABLED so the new DEAD value cannot silently
transition to READY.

Prepares for the following enable vs dead race fix.

<title>sched/isolation: Make HK_TYPE_KTHREAD an alias of HK_TYPE_DOMAIN</title>

<content type='text'>
Since commit 041ee6f3727a ("kthread: Rely on HK_TYPE_DOMAIN for preferred
affinity management"), kthreads default to use the HK_TYPE_DOMAIN
cpumask. IOW, it is no longer affected by the setting of the nohz_full
boot kernel parameter.

That means HK_TYPE_KTHREAD should now be an alias of HK_TYPE_DOMAIN
instead of HK_TYPE_KERNEL_NOISE to correctly reflect the current kthread
behavior. Make the change as HK_TYPE_KTHREAD is still being used in
some networking code.

<title>sched_ext: Skip past-sched_ext_dead() tasks in scx_task_iter_next_locked()</title>

scx_task_iter's cgroup-scoped mode can return tasks whose
sched_ext_dead() has already completed: cgroup_task_dead() removes
from cset-&gt;tasks after sched_ext_dead() in finish_task_switch() and is
irq-work deferred on PREEMPT_RT. The global mode is fine -
sched_ext_dead() removes from scx_tasks via list_del_init() first.

Callers (sub-sched enable prep/abort/apply, scx_sub_disable(),
scx_fail_parent()) assume returned tasks are still on @sch and trip
WARN_ON_ONCE() or operate on torn-down state otherwise.

Set %SCX_TASK_OFF_TASKS in sched_ext_dead() under @p's rq lock and
have scx_task_iter_next_locked() skip flagged tasks under the same
lock. Setter and reader serialize on the per-task rq lock - no race.

Pull runtime verification updates from Steven Rostedt:

 - Refactor da_monitor header to share handlers across monitor types

   No functional changes, only less code duplication.

 - Add Hybrid Automata model class

   Add a new model class that extends deterministic automata by adding
   constraints on transitions and states. Those constraints can take
   into account wall-clock time and as such allow RV monitor to make
   assertions on real time. Add documentation and code generation
   scripts.

 - Add stall monitor as hybrid automaton example

   Add a monitor that triggers a violation when a task is stalling as an
   example of automaton working with real time variables.

 - Convert the opid monitor to a hybrid automaton

   The opid monitor can be heavily simplified if written as a hybrid
   automaton: instead of tracking preempt and interrupt enable/disable
   events, it can just run constraints on the preemption/interrupt
   states when events like wakeup and need_resched verify.

 - Add support for per-object monitors in DA/HA

   Allow writing deterministic and hybrid automata monitors for generic
   objects (e.g. any struct), by exploiting a hash table where objects
   are saved. This allows to track more than just tasks in RV. For
   instance it will be used to track deadline entities in deadline
   monitors.

 - Add deadline tracepoints and move some deadline utilities

   Prepare the ground for deadline monitors by defining events and
   exporting helpers.

 - Add nomiss deadline monitor

   Add first example of deadline monitor asserting all entities complete
   before their deadline.

 - Improve rvgen error handling

   Introduce AutomataError exception class and better handle expected
   exceptions while showing a backtrace for unexpected ones.

 - Improve python code quality in rvgen

   Refactor the rvgen generation scripts to align with python best
   practices: use f-strings instead of %, use len() instead of
   __len__(), remove semicolons, use context managers for file
   operations, fix whitespace violations, extract magic strings into
   constants, remove unused imports and methods.

 - Fix small bugs in rvgen

   The generator scripts presented some corner case bugs: logical error
   in validating what a correct dot file looks like, fix an isinstance()
   check, enforce a dot file has an initial state, fix type annotations
   and typos in comments.

 - rvgen refactoring

   Refactor automata.py to use iterator-based parsing and handle
   required arguments directly in argparse.

 - Allow epoll in rtapp-sleep monitor

   The epoll_wait call is now rt-friendly so it should be allowed in the
   sleep monitor as a valid sleep method.

  rv: Allow epoll in rtapp-sleep monitor

Pull sched_ext updates from Tejun Heo:

 - cgroup sub-scheduler groundwork

   Multiple BPF schedulers can be attached to cgroups and the dispatch
   path is made hierarchical. This involves substantial restructuring of
   the core dispatch, bypass, watchdog, and dump paths to be
   per-scheduler, along with new infrastructure for scheduler ownership
   enforcement, lifecycle management, and cgroup subtree iteration

   The enqueue path is not yet updated and will follow in a later cycle

 - scx_bpf_dsq_reenq() generalized to support any DSQ including remote
   local DSQs and user DSQs

   Built on top of this, SCX_ENQ_IMMED guarantees that tasks dispatched
   to local DSQs either run immediately or get reenqueued back through
   ops.enqueue(), giving schedulers tighter control over queueing
   latency

   Also useful for opportunistic CPU sharing across sub-schedulers

 - ops.dequeue() was only invoked when the core knew a task was in BPF
   data structures, missing scheduling property change events and
   skipping callbacks for non-local DSQ dispatches from ops.select_cpu()

   Fixed to guarantee exactly one ops.dequeue() call when a task leaves
   BPF scheduler custody

 - Kfunc access validation moved from runtime to BPF verifier time,
   removing runtime mask enforcement

 - Idle SMT sibling prioritization in the idle CPU selection path

 - Documentation, selftest, and tooling updates. Misc bug fixes and
   cleanups
