 - Fix spurious failures in rseq self-tests (Mark Brown)

 - Fix rseq rseq::cpu_id_start ABI regression due to TCMalloc's creative

   rseq area registration size, to keep the TCMalloc use of rseq
   backwards compatible on new kernels (Thomas Gleixner)

 - Fix wakeup_preempt_fair() for not waking up task (Vincent Guittot)

The optimized RSEQ V2 mode requires that user space adheres to the ABI
specification and does not modify the read-only fields cpu_id_start,
cpu_id, node_id and mm_cid behind the kernel's back.

While the kernel does not rely on these fields, the adherence to this is a
fundamental prerequisite to allow multiple entities, e.g. libraries, in an
application to utilize the full potential of RSEQ without stepping on each
other toes.

Validate this adherence on every update of these fields. If the kernel
detects that user space modified the fields, the application is force
terminated.

Pull cgroup fixes from Tejun Heo:

 - During v6.19, cgroup task unlink was moved from do_exit() to after the
   final task switch to satisfy a controller invariant. That left the kernel
   seeing tasks past exit_signals() longer than userspace expected, and
   several v7.0 follow-ups tried to bridge the gap by making rmdir wait for
   the kernel side. None held up.

   The latest is an A-A deadlock when rmdir is invoked by the reaper of
   zombies whose pidns teardown the rmdir itself is waiting on, which
   points at the synchronizing approach being fundamentally wrong.

   Take a different approach: drop the wait, leave rmdir's user-visible
   side returning as soon as cgroup.procs is empty, and defer the css
   percpu_ref kill that drives -&gt;css_offline() until the cgroup is fully
   depopulated.

   Tagged for stable. Somewhat invasive but contained. The hope is that
   fixing forward sticks. If not, the fallback is to revert the entire
   chain and rework on the development branch.

Pull cgroup fixes from Tejun Heo:

 - During v6.19, cgroup task unlink was moved from do_exit() to after the
   final task switch to satisfy a controller invariant. That left the kernel
   seeing tasks past exit_signals() longer than userspace expected, and
   several v7.0 follow-ups tried to bridge the gap by making rmdir wait for
   the kernel side. None held up.

   The latest is an A-A deadlock when rmdir is invoked by the reaper of
   zombies whose pidns teardown the rmdir itself is waiting on, which
   points at the synchronizing approach being fundamentally wrong.

   Take a different approach: drop the wait, leave rmdir's user-visible
   side returning as soon as cgroup.procs is empty, and defer the css
   percpu_ref kill that drives -&gt;css_offline() until the cgroup is fully
   depopulated.

   Tagged for stable. Somewhat invasive but contained. The hope is that
   fixing forward sticks. If not, the fallback is to revert the entire
   chain and rework on the development branch.

Pull sched_ext fixes from Tejun Heo:

 - Fix idle CPU selection returning prev_cpu outside the task's cpus_ptr
   when the BPF caller's allowed mask was wider. Stable backport.

 - Two opposite-direction gaps in scx_task_iter's cgroup-scoped mode
   versus the global mode:

    - Tasks past exit_signals() are filtered by the cgroup walk but kept
      by global. Sub-scheduler enable abort leaked __scx_init_task()
      state. Add a CSS_TASK_ITER_WITH_DEAD flag to cgroup's task
      iterator (scx_task_iter is its only user) and use it.

    - Tasks past sched_ext_dead() are still returned, tripping
      WARN_ON_ONCE() in callers or making them touch torn-down state.
      Mark and skip under the per-task rq lock.

<title>rseq: Revert to historical performance killing behaviour</title>

<content type='text'>
The recent RSEQ optimization work broke the TCMalloc abuse of the RSEQ ABI
as it not longer unconditionally updates the CPU, node, mm_cid fields,
which are documented as read only for user space. Due to the observed
behavior of the kernel it was possible for TCMalloc to overwrite the
cpu_id_start field for their own purposes and rely on the kernel to update
it unconditionally after each context switch and before signal delivery.

The RSEQ ABI only guarantees that these fields are updated when the data
changes, i.e. the task is migrated or the MMCID of the task changes due to
switching from or to per CPU ownership mode.

The optimization work eliminated the unconditional updates and reduced them
to the documented ABI guarantees, which results in a massive performance
win for syscall, scheduling heavy work loads, which in turn breaks the
TCMalloc expectations.

There have been several options discussed to restore the TCMalloc
functionality while preserving the optimization benefits. They all end up
in a series of hard to maintain workarounds, which in the worst case
introduce overhead for everyone, e.g. in the scheduler.

The requirements of TCMalloc and the optimization work are diametral and
the required work arounds are a maintainence burden. They end up as fragile
constructs, which are blocking further optimization work and are pretty
much guaranteed to cause more subtle issues down the road.

The optimization work heavily depends on the generic entry code, which is
not used by all architectures yet. So the rework preserved the original
mechanism moslty unmodified to keep the support for architectures, which
handle rseq in their own exit to user space loop. That code is currently
optimized out by the compiler on architectures which use the generic entry
code.

This allows to revert back to the original behaviour by replacing the
compile time constant conditions with a runtime condition where required,
which disables the optimization and the dependend time slice extension
feature until the run-time condition can be enabled in the RSEQ
registration code on a per task basis again.

The following changes are required to restore the original behavior, which
makes TCMalloc work again:

  1) Replace the compile time constant conditionals with runtime
     conditionals where appropriate to prevent the compiler from optimizing
     the legacy mode out

  2) Enforce unconditional update of IDs on context switch for the
     non-optimized v1 mode

  3) Enforce update of IDs in the pre signal delivery path for the
     non-optimized v1 mode

  4) Enforce update of IDs in the membarrier(RSEQ) IPI for the
     non-optimized v1 mode

  5) Make time slice and future extensions depend on optimized v2 mode

This brings back the full performance problems, but preserves the v2
optimization code and for generic entry code using architectures also the
TIF_RSEQ optimization which avoids a full evaluation of the exit to user
mode loop in many cases.

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

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.
