Linus Torvalds 88264981f2 sched_ext: Initial pull request for v6.12
This is the initial pull request of sched_ext. The v7 patchset
 (https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20240618212056.2833381-1-tj@kernel.org) is
 applied on top of tip/sched/core + bpf/master as of Jun 18th.
 
   tip/sched/core 793a62823d1c ("sched/core: Drop spinlocks on contention iff kernel is preempti
 ble")
   bpf/master f6afdaf72a ("Merge branch 'bpf-support-resilient-split-btf'")
 
 Since then, the following pulls were made:
 
 - v6.11-rc1 is pulled to keep up with the mainline.
 
 - tip/sched/core was pulled several times:
 
   - 7b9f6c864a, 0df340ceae, 5ac998574f, 0b1777f0fa: To resolve
     conflicts. See each commit for details on conflicts and their
     resolutions.
 
   - d7b01aef9d: To receive fd03c5b858 ("sched: Rework pick_next_task()")
     and related commits. @prev in added to sched_class->put_prev_task() and
     put_prev_task() is reordered after ->pick_task(), which makes
     sched_class->switch_class() unnecessary. The follow-up commits update
     sched_ext accordingly and drop sched_class->switch_class().
 
 - bpf/master was pulled to receive baebe9aaba ("bpf: allow passing struct
   bpf_iter_<type> as kfunc arguments") and related changes in preparation
   for the DSQ iterator patchset
 
 To obtain the net sched_ext changes, diff against:
 
   git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/sched_ext.git for-6.12-base
 
 which is the merge of:
 
   tip/sched/core bc9057da1a ("sched/cpufreq: Use NSEC_PER_MSEC for deadline task")
   bpf/master 2ad6d23f46 ("selftests/bpf: Do not update vmlinux.h unnecessarily")
 
 Since the v7 patchset, the following changes were made:
 
 - cpuperf support which was a part of the v6 patchset was posted separately
   and then applied after reviews.
 
 - cgroup support which was a part of the v6 patchset was posted seprately,
   iterated and then applied.
 
 - Improve integration with sched core.
 
 - Double locking usage in migration paths dropped. Depend on
   TASK_ON_RQ_MIGRATING synchronization instead.
 
 - The BPF scheduler couldn't directly dispatch to the local DSQ of another
   CPU using a SCX_DSQ_LOCAL_ON verdict. This caused difficulties around
   handling non-wakeup enqueues. Updated so that SCX_DSQ_LOCAL_ON can be used
   in the enqueue path too.
 
 - DSQ iterator which was a part of the v6 patchset was posted separately.
   The iterator itself was applied after a couple revisions. The associated
   selective consumption kfunc can use further improvements and is still
   being worked on.
 
 - scx_bpf_dispatch[_vtime]_from_dsq() added to increase flexibility. A task
   can now be transferred between two DSQs from almost any context. This
   involved significant refactoring of migration code.
 
 - Various fixes and improvements.
 
 As the branch is based on top of tip/sched/core + bpf/master, please merge
 after both are applied.

Merge tag 'sched_ext-for-6.12' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/sched_ext

Pull sched_ext support from Tejun Heo:
 "This implements a new scheduler class called ‘ext_sched_class’, or
  sched_ext, which allows scheduling policies to be implemented as BPF
  programs.

  The goals of this are:

   - Ease of experimentation and exploration: Enabling rapid iteration
     of new scheduling policies.

   - Customization: Building application-specific schedulers which
     implement policies that are not applicable to general-purpose
     schedulers.

   - Rapid scheduler deployments: Non-disruptive swap outs of scheduling
     policies in production environments"

See individual commits for more documentation, but also the cover letter
for the latest series:
