scx_bpf_reenqueue_local() currently re-enqueues all tasks on the local DSQ
regardless of which sub-scheduler owns them. With multiple sub-schedulers,
each should only re-enqueue tasks it owns or are owned by its descendants.
Replace the per-rq boolean flag with a lock-free linked list to track
per-scheduler reenqueue requests. Filter tasks in reenq_local() using
hierarchical ownership checks and block deferrals during bypass to prevent
use on dead schedulers.

The preceding changes implemented the framework to support cgroup
sub-scheds and updated scheduling paths and kfuncs so that they have
minimal but working support for sub-scheds. However, actual sub-sched
enabling/disabling hasn't been implemented yet and all tasks stayed on
scx_root.
Implement cgroup sub-sched enabling and disabling to actually activate
sub-scheds:
- Both enable and disable operations bypass only the tasks in the subtree
of the child being enabled or disabled to limit disruptions.
- When enabling, all candidate tasks are first initialized for the child
sched. Once that succeeds, the tasks are exited for the parent and then
switched over to the child. This adds a bit of complication but
guarantees that child scheduler failures are always contained.
- Disabling works the same way in the other direction. However, when the
parent may fail to initialize a task, disabling is propagated up to the
parent. While this means that a parent sched fail due to a child sched
event, the failure can only originate from the parent itself (its
ops.init_task()). The only effect a malfunctioning child can have on the
parent is attempting to move the tasks back to the parent.
After this change, although not all the necessary mechanisms are in place
yet, sub-scheds can take control of their tasks and schedule them.

Extend scx_dump_state() to support multiple schedulers and improve task
identification in dumps. The function now takes a specific scheduler to
dump and can optionally filter tasks by scheduler.
scx_dump_task() now displays which scheduler each task belongs to, using
"*" to mark tasks owned by the scheduler being dumped. Sub-schedulers
are identified with their level and cgroup ID.
The SysRq-D handler now iterates through all active schedulers under
scx_sched_lock and dumps each one separately. For SysRq-D dumps, only
tasks owned by each scheduler are dumped to avoid redundancy since all
schedulers are being dumped. Error-triggered dumps continue to dump all
tasks since only that specific scheduler is being dumped.

The cgroup sub-sched support involves invasive changes to many areas of
sched_ext. The overall scaffolding is now in place and the next step is
implementing sub-sched enable/disable.
To enable partial testing and verification, update balance_one() to
dispatch from all scx_sched instances until it finds a task to run. This
should keep scheduling working when sub-scheds are enabled with tasks on
them. This will be replaced by BPF-driven hierarchical operation.

When a sub-scheduler enters bypass mode, its tasks must be scheduled by an
ancestor to guarantee forward progress. Tasks from bypassing descendants are
queued in the bypass DSQs of the nearest non-bypassing ancestor, or the root
scheduler if all ancestors are bypassing. This requires coordination between
bypassing schedulers and their hosts.
Add bypass_enq_target_dsq() to find the correct bypass DSQ by walking up the
hierarchy until reaching a non-bypassing ancestor. When a sub-scheduler starts
bypassing, all its runnable tasks are re-enqueued after scx_bypassing() is set,
ensuring proper migration to ancestor bypass DSQs.
Update scx_dispatch_sched() to handle hosting bypassed descendants. When a
scheduler is not bypassing but has bypassing descendants, it must schedule both
its own tasks and bypassed descendant tasks. A simple policy is implemented
where every Nth dispatch attempt (SCX_BYPASS_HOST_NTH=2) consumes from the
bypass DSQ. A fallback consumption is also added at the end of dispatch to
ensure bypassed tasks make progress even when normal scheduling is idle.
Update enable_bypass_dsp() and disable_bypass_dsp() to increment
bypass_dsp_enable_depth on both the bypassing scheduler and its parent host,
ensuring both can detect that bypass dispatch is active through
bypass_dsp_enabled().
Add SCX_EV_SUB_BYPASS_DISPATCH event counter to track scheduling of bypassed
descendant tasks.

The bypass_depth field tracks nesting of bypass operations but is also used
to determine whether the bypass dispatch path should be active. With
hierarchical scheduling, child schedulers may need to activate their parent's
bypass dispatch path without affecting the parent's bypass_depth, requiring
separation of these concerns.
Add bypass_dsp_enable_depth and bypass_dsp_claim to independently control
bypass dispatch path activation. The new enable_bypass_dsp() and
disable_bypass_dsp() functions manage this state with proper claim semantics
to prevent races. The bypass dispatch path now only activates when
bypass_dsp_enabled() returns true, which checks the new enable_depth counter.
The disable operation is carefully ordered after all tasks are moved out of
bypass DSQs to ensure they are drained before the dispatch path is disabled.
During scheduler teardown, disable_bypass_dsp() is called explicitly to ensure
cleanup even if bypass mode was never entered normally.

Bypass mode is used to simplify enable and disable paths and guarantee
forward progress when something goes wrong. When enabled, all tasks skip BPF
scheduling and fall back to simple in-kernel FIFO scheduling. While this
global behavior can be used as-is when dealing with sub-scheds, that would
allow any sub-sched instance to affect the whole system in a significantly
disruptive manner.
Make bypass state hierarchical by propagating it to descendants and updating
per-cpu flags accordingly. This allows an scx_sched to bypass if itself or
any of its ancestors are in bypass mode. However, this doesn't make the
actual bypass enqueue and dispatch paths hierarchical yet. That will be done
in later patches.

Add checks to enforce scheduling authority boundaries when multiple
schedulers are present:
1. In scx_dsq_insert_preamble() and the dispatch retry path, ignore attempts
to insert tasks that the scheduler doesn't own, counting them via
SCX_EV_INSERT_NOT_OWNED. As BPF schedulers are allowed to ignore
dequeues, such attempts can occur legitimately during sub-scheduler
enabling when tasks move between schedulers. The counter helps distinguish
normal cases from scheduler bugs.
2. For scx_bpf_dsq_insert_vtime() and scx_bpf_select_cpu_and(), error out
when sub-schedulers are attached. These functions lack the aux__prog
parameter needed to identify the calling scheduler, so they cannot be used
safely with multiple schedulers. BPF programs should use the arg-wrapped
versions (__scx_bpf_dsq_insert_vtime() and __scx_bpf_select_cpu_and())
instead.
These checks ensure that with multiple concurrent schedulers, scheduler
identity can be properly determined and unauthorized task operations are
prevented or tracked.

The association is determined via the special KF_IMPLICIT_ARGS kfunc

For compatibility, when ops.sub_attach is not implemented (older schedulers

A system often runs multiple workloads especially in multi-tenant server
environments where a system is split into partitions servicing separate
more-or-less independent workloads each requiring an application-specific
scheduler. To support such and other use cases, sched_ext is in the process
of growing multiple scheduler support.
When partitioning a system in terms of CPUs for such use cases, an
oft-taken approach is hard partitioning the system using cpuset. While it
would be possible to tie sched_ext multiple scheduler support to cpuset
partitions, such an approach would have fundamental limitations stemming
from the lack of dynamism and flexibility.
Users often don't care which specific CPUs are assigned to which workload
and want to take advantage of optimizations which are enabled by running
workloads on a larger machine - e.g. opportunistic over-commit, improving
latency critical workload characteristics while maintaining bandwidth
fairness, employing control mechanisms based on different criteria than
on-CPU time for e.g. flexible memory bandwidth isolation, packing similar
parts from different workloads on same L3s to improve cache efficiency,
and so on.
As this sort of dynamic behaviors are impossible or difficult to implement
with hard partitioning, sched_ext is implementing cgroup sub-sched support
where schedulers can be attached to the cgroup hierarchy and a parent
scheduler is responsible for controlling the CPUs that each child can use
at any given moment. This makes CPU distribution dynamically controlled by
BPF allowing high flexibility.
This patch adds the skeletal sched_ext cgroup sub-sched support:
- sched_ext_ops.sub_cgroup_id and .sub_attach/detach() are added. Non-zero
sub_cgroup_id indicates that the scheduler is to be attached to the
identified cgroup. A sub-sched is attached to the cgroup iff the nearest
ancestor scheduler implements .sub_attach() and grants the attachment. Max
nesting depth is limited by SCX_SUB_MAX_DEPTH.
- When a scheduler exits, all its descendant schedulers are exited
together. Also, cgroup.scx_sched added which points to the effective
scheduler instance for the cgroup. This is updated on scheduler
init/exit and inherited on cgroup online. When a cgroup is offlined, the
attached scheduler is automatically exited.
- Sub-sched support is gated on CONFIG_EXT_SUB_SCHED which is
automatically enabled if both SCX and cgroups are enabled. Sub-sched
support is not tied to the CPU controller but rather the cgroup
hierarchy itself. This is intentional as the support for cpu.weight and
cpu.max based resource control is orthogonal to sub-sched support. Note
that CONFIG_CGROUPS around cgroup subtree iteration support for
scx_task_iter is replaced with CONFIG_EXT_SUB_SCHED for consistency.
- This allows loading sub-scheds and most framework operations such as
propagating disable down the hierarchy work. However, sub-scheds are not
operational yet and all tasks stay with the root sched. This will serve
as the basis for building up full sub-sched support.
- DSQs point to the scx_sched they belong to.
- scx_qmap is updated to allow attachment of sub-scheds and also serving
as sub-scheds.
- scx_is_descendant() is added but not yet used in this patch. It is used by
later changes in the series and placed here as this is where the function
belongs.

For the planned cgroup sub-scheduler support, enable/disable operations are
going to be subtree specific and iterating all tasks in the system for those
operations can be unnecessarily expensive and disruptive.
cgroup already has mechanisms to perform subtree task iterations. Implement
cgroup subtree iteration for scx_task_iter:
- Add optional @cgrp to scx_task_iter_start() which enables cgroup subtree
iteration.
- Make scx_task_iter use css_next_descendant_pre() and css_task_iter to
iterate all tasks in the cgroup subtree.
- Update all existing callers to pass NULL to maintain current behavior.
The two iteration mechanisms are independent and duplicate. It's likely that
scx_tasks can be removed in favor of always using cgroup iteration if
CONFIG_SCHED_CLASS_EXT depends on CONFIG_CGROUPS.

Besides deferring the call to housekeeping_update(), commit 6df415aa46ec
("cgroup/cpuset: Defer housekeeping_update() calls from CPU hotplug
to workqueue") also defers the rebuild_sched_domains() call to
the workqueue. So a new offline CPU may still be in a sched domain
or new online CPU not showing up in the sched domains for a short
transition period. That could be a problem in some corner cases and
can be the cause of a reported test failure[1]. Fix it by calling
rebuild_sched_domains_cpuslocked() directly in hotplug as before. If
isolated partition invalidation or recreation is being done, the
housekeeping_update() call to update the housekeeping cpumasks will
still be deferred to a workqueue.
In commit 3bfe47967191 ("cgroup/cpuset: Move
housekeeping_update()/rebuild_sched_domains() together"),
housekeeping_update() is called before rebuild_sched_domains() because
it needs to access the HK_TYPE_DOMAIN housekeeping cpumask. That is now
changed to use the static HK_TYPE_DOMAIN_BOOT cpumask as HK_TYPE_DOMAIN
cpumask is now changeable at run time. As a result, we can move the
rebuild_sched_domains() call before housekeeping_update() with
the slight advantage that it will be done in the same cpus_read_lock
critical section without the possibility of interference by a concurrent
cpu hot add/remove operation.
As it doesn't make sense to acquire cpuset_mutex/cpuset_top_mutex after
calling housekeeping_update() and immediately release them again, move
the cpuset_full_unlock() operation inside update_hk_sched_domains()
and rename it to cpuset_update_sd_hk_unlock() to signify that it will
release the full set of locks.

Commit 0927780c90ce ("sched_ext: Use READ_ONCE() for lock-free reads
of module param variables") annotated the plain reads of
scx_slice_bypass_us and scx_bypass_lb_intv_us in bypass_lb_cpu(), but
missed a third site in scx_bypass():
WRITE_ONCE(scx_slice_dfl, scx_slice_bypass_us * NSEC_PER_USEC);
scx_slice_bypass_us is a module parameter writable via sysfs in
process context through set_slice_us() -> param_set_uint_minmax(),
which performs a plain store without holding bypass_lock. scx_bypass()
reads the variable under bypass_lock, but since the writer does not
take that lock, the two accesses are concurrent.
WRITE_ONCE() only applies volatile semantics to the store of
scx_slice_dfl -- the val expression containing scx_slice_bypass_us is
evaluated as a plain read, providing no protection against concurrent
writes.
Wrap the read with READ_ONCE() to complete the annotation started by
commit 0927780c90ce and make the access KCSAN-clean, consistent with
the existing READ_ONCE(scx_slice_bypass_us) in bypass_lb_cpu().

kthread_exit became a macro to do_exit in commit 28aaa9c39945
("kthread: consolidate kthread exit paths to prevent use-after-free"),
so there is no kthread_exit function BTF ID to resolve. Remove it from
noreturn_deny to avoid resolve_btfids unresolved symbol warnings.

On 32-bit architectures, unsigned long is only 32 bits wide, which
causes 64-bit inode numbers to be silently truncated. Several
filesystems (NFS, XFS, BTRFS, etc.) can generate inode numbers that
exceed 32 bits, and this truncation can lead to inode number collisions
and other subtle bugs on 32-bit systems.
Change the type of inode->i_ino from unsigned long to u64 to ensure that
inode numbers are always represented as 64-bit values regardless of
architecture. Update all format specifiers treewide from %lu/%lx to
%llu/%llx to match the new type, along with corresponding local variable
types.
This is the bulk treewide conversion. Earlier patches in this series
handled trace events separately to allow trace field reordering for
better struct packing on 32-bit.

inode->i_ino is being widened from unsigned long to u64. The audit
subsystem uses unsigned long ino in struct fields, function parameters,
and local variables that store inode numbers from arbitrary filesystems.
On 32-bit platforms this truncates inode numbers that exceed 32 bits,
which will cause incorrect audit log entries and broken watch/mark
comparisons.
Widen all audit ino fields, parameters, and locals to u64, and update
the inode format string from %lu to %llu to match.

Expose the following through cgroup.h:
- cgroup_on_dfl()
- cgroup_is_dead()
- cgroup_for_each_live_child()
- cgroup_for_each_live_descendant_pre()
- cgroup_for_each_live_descendant_post()
Until now, these didn't need to be exposed because controllers only cared
about the css hierarchy. The planned sched_ext hierarchical scheduler
support will be based on the default cgroup hierarchy, which is in line
with the existing BPF cgroup support, and thus needs these exposed.

show_cpu_pool_hog() only prints workers whose task is currently running
on the CPU (task_is_running()). This misses workers that are busy
processing a work item but are sleeping or blocked — for example, a
worker that clears PF_WQ_WORKER and enters wait_event_idle(). Such a
worker still occupies a pool slot and prevents progress, yet produces
an empty backtrace section in the watchdog output.
This is happening on real arm64 systems, where
toggle_allocation_gate() IPIs every single CPU in the machine (which
lacks NMI), causing workqueue stalls that show empty backtraces because
toggle_allocation_gate() is sleeping in wait_event_idle().
Remove the task_is_running() filter so every in-flight worker in the
pool's busy_hash is dumped. The busy_hash is protected by pool->lock,
which is already held.

When diagnosing workqueue stalls, knowing how long each in-flight work
item has been executing is valuable. Add a current_start timestamp
(jiffies) to struct worker, set it when a work item begins execution in
process_one_work(), and print the elapsed wall-clock time in show_pwq().
Unlike current_at (which tracks CPU runtime and resets on wakeup for
CPU-intensive detection), current_start is never reset because the
diagnostic cares about total wall-clock time including sleeps.

The watchdog_ts name doesn't convey what the timestamp actually tracks.
This field tracks the last time a workqueue got progress.
Rename it to last_progress_ts to make it clear that it records when the
pool last made forward progress (started processing new work items).
No functional change.

pr_cont_worker_id() checks pool->flags against WQ_BH, which is a
workqueue-level flag (defined in workqueue.h). Pool flags use a
separate namespace with POOL_* constants (defined in workqueue.c).
The correct constant is POOL_BH. Both WQ_BH and POOL_BH are defined
as (1 << 0) so this has no behavioral impact, but it is semantically
wrong and inconsistent with every other pool-level BH check in the
file.

Borislav reported a division by zero in the timekeeping code and random
hangs with the new coupled clocksource/clockevent functionality.
It turned out that the TSC clocksource is not always updating the
freq_khz field of the clocksource on registration. The coupled mode
conversion calculation requires the frequency and as it's not
initialized the resulting factor is zero or a random value. As a
consequence this causes a division by zero or random boot hangs.
Instead of chasing down all clocksources which fail to update that
member, fill it in at registration time where the caller has to supply
the frequency anyway. Except for special clocksources like jiffies which
never can have coupled mode.
To make this more robust put a check into the registration function to
validate that the caller supplied a frequency if the coupled mode
feature bit is set. If not, emit a warning and clear the feature bit.

Nathan reported a boot failure after the coupled clocksource/event support
was enabled for the TSC deadline timer. It turns out that on the affected
test systems the TSC frequency is not refined against HPET, so it is
registered with the same frequency as the TSC-early clocksource.
As a consequence the update function which checks for a change of the
shift/mult pair of the clocksource fails to compute the conversion
limit, which is zero initialized. This check is there to avoid pointless
computations on every timekeeping update cycle (tick).
So the actual clockevent conversion function limits the delta expiry to
zero, which means the timer is always programmed to expire in the
past. This obviously results in a spectacular timer interrupt storm,
which goes unnoticed because the per CPU interrupts on x86 are not
exposed to the runaway detection mechanism and the NMI watchdog is not
yet functional. So the machine simply stops booting.
That did not show up in testing. All test machines refine the TSC frequency
so TSC has a differrent shift/mult pair than TSC-early and the conversion
limit is properly initialized.
Cure that by setting the conversion limit right at the point where the new
clocksource is installed.
