Pull sched_ext updates from Tejun Heo:

 - scx_bpf_now() added so that BPF scheduler can access the cached
   timestamp in struct rq to avoid reading TSC multiple times within a
   locked scheduling operation.

 - Minor updates to the built-in idle CPU selection logic.

 - tool/sched_ext updates and other misc changes.

Pull kthread updates from Frederic Weisbecker:
 "Kthreads affinity follow either of 4 existing different patterns:

   1) Per-CPU kthreads must stay affine to a single CPU and never
      execute relevant code on any other CPU. This is currently handled
      by smpboot code which takes care of CPU-hotplug operations.
      Affinity here is a correctness constraint.

   2) Some kthreads _have_ to be affine to a specific set of CPUs and
      can't run anywhere else. The affinity is set through
      kthread_bind_mask() and the subsystem takes care by itself to
      handle CPU-hotplug operations. Affinity here is assumed to be a
      correctness constraint.

   3) Per-node kthreads _prefer_ to be affine to a specific NUMA node.
      This is not a correctness constraint but merely a preference in
      terms of memory locality. kswapd and kcompactd both fall into this
      category. The affinity is set manually like for any other task and
      CPU-hotplug is supposed to be handled by the relevant subsystem so
      that the task is properly reaffined whenever a given CPU from the
      node comes up. Also care should be taken so that the node affinity
      doesn't cross isolated (nohz_full) cpumask boundaries.

   4) Similar to the previous point except kthreads have a _preferred_
      affinity different than a node. Both RCU boost kthreads and RCU
      exp kworkers fall into this category as they refer to "RCU nodes"
      from a distinctly distributed tree.

  Currently the preferred affinity patterns (3 and 4) have at least 4
  identified users, with more or less success when it comes to handle
  CPU-hotplug operations and CPU isolation. Each of which do it in its
  own ad-hoc way.

  This is an infrastructure proposal to handle this with the following
  API changes:

   - kthread_create_on_node() automatically affines the created kthread
     to its target node unless it has been set as per-cpu or bound with
     kthread_bind[_mask]() before the first wake-up.

   - kthread_affine_preferred() is a new function that can be called
     right after kthread_create_on_node() to specify a preferred
     affinity different than the specified node.

  When the preferred affinity can't be applied because the possible
  targets are offline or isolated (nohz_full), the kthread is affine to
  the housekeeping CPUs (which means to all online CPUs most of the time
  or only the non-nohz_full CPUs when nohz_full= is set).

  kswapd, kcompactd, RCU boost kthreads and RCU exp kworkers have been
  converted, along with a few old drivers.

  Summary of the changes:

   - Consolidate a bunch of ad-hoc implementations of
     kthread_run_on_cpu()

   - Introduce task_cpu_fallback_mask() that defines the default last
     resort affinity of a task to become nohz_full aware

   - Add some correctness check to ensure kthread_bind() is always
     called before the first kthread wake up.

   - Default affine kthread to its preferred node.

   - Convert kswapd / kcompactd and remove their halfway working ad-hoc
     affinity implementation

   - Implement kthreads preferred affinity

   - Unify kthread worker and kthread API's style

   - Convert RCU kthreads to the new API and remove the ad-hoc affinity
     implementation"

<title>sched_ext: idle: Refresh idle masks during idle-to-idle transitions</title>

<id>a2a3374c47c428c0edb0bbc693638d4783f81e31</id>
<content type='text'>
With the consolidation of put_prev_task/set_next_task(), see
commit 436f3eed5c69 ("sched: Combine the last put_prev_task() and the
first set_next_task()"), we are now skipping the transition between
these two functions when the previous and the next tasks are the same.

As a result, the scx idle state of a CPU is updated only when
transitioning to or from the idle thread. While this is generally
correct, it can lead to uneven and inefficient core utilization in
certain scenarios [1].

A typical scenario involves proactive wake-ups: scx_bpf_pick_idle_cpu()
selects and marks an idle CPU as busy, followed by a wake-up via
scx_bpf_kick_cpu(), without dispatching any tasks. In this case, the CPU
continues running the idle thread, returns to idle, but remains marked
as busy, preventing it from being selected again as an idle CPU (until a
task eventually runs on it and releases the CPU).

For example, running a workload that uses 20% of each CPU, combined with
an scx scheduler using proactive wake-ups, results in the following core
utilization:

 CPU 0: 25.7%
 CPU 1: 29.3%
 CPU 2: 26.5%
 CPU 3: 25.5%
 CPU 4:  0.0%
 CPU 5: 25.5%
 CPU 6:  0.0%
 CPU 7: 10.5%

To address this, refresh the idle state also in pick_task_idle(), during
idle-to-idle transitions, but only trigger ops.update_idle() on actual
state changes to prevent unnecessary updates to the scx scheduler and
maintain balanced state transitions.

With this change in place, the core utilization in the previous example
becomes the following:

 CPU 0: 18.8%
 CPU 1: 19.4%
 CPU 2: 18.0%
 CPU 3: 18.7%
 CPU 4: 19.3%
 CPU 5: 18.9%
 CPU 6: 18.7%
 CPU 7: 19.3%

Returns a high-performance monotonically non-decreasing clock for the current
CPU. The clock returned is in nanoseconds.

It provides the following properties:

1) High performance: Many BPF schedulers call bpf_ktime_get_ns() frequently
 to account for execution time and track tasks' runtime properties.
 Unfortunately, in some hardware platforms, bpf_ktime_get_ns() -- which
 eventually reads a hardware timestamp counter -- is neither performant nor
 scalable. scx_bpf_now() aims to provide a high-performance clock by
 using the rq clock in the scheduler core whenever possible.

2) High enough resolution for the BPF scheduler use cases: In most BPF
 scheduler use cases, the required clock resolution is lower than the most
 accurate hardware clock (e.g., rdtsc in x86). scx_bpf_now() basically
 uses the rq clock in the scheduler core whenever it is valid. It considers
 that the rq clock is valid from the time the rq clock is updated
 (update_rq_clock) until the rq is unlocked (rq_unpin_lock).

3) Monotonically non-decreasing clock for the same CPU: scx_bpf_now()
 guarantees the clock never goes backward when comparing them in the same
 CPU. On the other hand, when comparing clocks in different CPUs, there
 is no such guarantee -- the clock can go backward. It provides a
 monotonically *non-decreasing* clock so that it would provide the same
 clock values in two different scx_bpf_now() calls in the same CPU
 during the same period of when the rq clock is valid.

An rq clock becomes valid when it is updated using update_rq_clock()
and invalidated when the rq is unlocked using rq_unpin_lock().

Let's suppose the following timeline in the scheduler core:

   T1. rq_lock(rq)
   T2. update_rq_clock(rq)
   T3. a sched_ext BPF operation
   T4. rq_unlock(rq)
   T5. a sched_ext BPF operation
   T6. rq_lock(rq)
   T7. update_rq_clock(rq)

For [T2, T4), we consider that rq clock is valid (SCX_RQ_CLK_VALID is
set), so scx_bpf_now() calls during [T2, T4) (including T3) will
return the rq clock updated at T2. For duration [T4, T7), when a BPF
scheduler can still call scx_bpf_now() (T5), we consider the rq clock
is invalid (SCX_RQ_CLK_VALID is unset at T4). So when calling
scx_bpf_now() at T5, we will return a fresh clock value by calling
sched_clock_cpu() internally. Also, to prevent getting outdated rq clocks
from a previous scx scheduler, invalidate all the rq clocks when unloading
a BPF scheduler.

One example of calling scx_bpf_now(), when the rq clock is invalid
(like T5), is in scx_central [1]. The scx_central scheduler uses a BPF
timer for preemptive scheduling. In every msec, the timer callback checks
if the currently running tasks exceed their timeslice. At the beginning of
the BPF timer callback (central_timerfn in scx_central.bpf.c), scx_central
gets the current time. When the BPF timer callback runs, the rq clock could
be invalid, the same as T5. In this case, scx_bpf_now() returns a fresh
clock value rather than returning the old one (T2).

kthread_create() creates a kthread without running it yet. kthread_run()
creates a kthread and runs it.

On the other hand, kthread_create_worker() creates a kthread worker and
runs it.

This difference in behaviours is confusing. Also there is no way to
create a kthread worker and affine it using kthread_bind_mask() or
kthread_affine_preferred() before starting it.

Consolidate the behaviours and introduce kthread_run_worker[_on_cpu]()
that behaves just like kthread_run(). kthread_create_worker[_on_cpu]()
will now only create a kthread worker without starting it.

ops.cpu_release() function, if defined, must be invoked when preempted by
a higher priority scheduler class task. This scenario was skipped in
commit f422316d7466 ("sched_ext: Remove switch_class_scx()"). Let's fix
it.

scx_ops_bypass() iterates all CPUs to re-enqueue all the scx tasks.
For each CPU, it acquires a lock using rq_lock() regardless of whether
a CPU is offline or the CPU is currently running a task in a higher
scheduler class (e.g., deadline). The rq_lock() is supposed to be used
for online CPUs, and the use of rq_lock() may trigger an unnecessary
warning in rq_pin_lock(). Therefore, replace rq_lock() to
raw_spin_rq_lock() in scx_ops_bypass().

Without this change, we observe the following warning:

===== START =====
[    6.615205] rq-&gt;balance_callback &amp;&amp; rq-&gt;balance_callback != &amp;balance_push_callback
[    6.615208] WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 0 at kernel/sched/sched.h:1730 __schedule+0x1130/0x1c90
=====  END  =====

<title>sched_ext: keep running prev when prev-&gt;scx.slice != 0</title>

When %SCX_OPS_ENQ_LAST is set and prev-&gt;scx.slice != 0,
@prev will be dispacthed into the local DSQ in put_prev_task_scx().
However, pick_task_scx() is executed before put_prev_task_scx(),
so it will not pick @prev.
Set %SCX_RQ_BAL_KEEP in balance_one() to ensure that pick_task_scx()
can pick @prev.

Report the remaining time slice when dumping task information during an
error exit.

This information can be useful for tracking incorrect or excessively
long time slices in schedulers that implement dynamic time slice logic.
