sched_ext: Maintain an online cid mask in the scheduler arenagrafted
Schedulers on the default cid mapping treat [0, nr_online_cids) as the online set and restart on hotplug. Schedulers that install their own mapping with scx_bpf_cid_override() have no way to learn which cids are online: the count no longer identifies members and the CPU-form cpumask is unusable from cid programs. This is an obvious hole in the cid API. Add scx_bpf_online_cmask(), a kernel-maintained cmask in the scheduler's arena, allocated alongside the per-CPU scratch masks and populated after the cid mapping is finalized and before ops.init(), for child schedulers too. The pointer stays valid through ops.exit() with no reference to take. It is the arena offset as a void pointer, the same form struct_ops arena arguments arrive in. The verifier types the void return as a scalar for the program's arena cast. The mask follows the SCX hotplug notifications: seeded from cpu_active_mask and updated before ops.cid_online/offline() runs, so it lags cpu_online_mask only inside a hotplug transition. Updates walk the scheduler list under the lock that also serializes unlinking. Reads are live, not atomic snapshots. Root initialization excludes hotplug. v2: Reworded the getter kerneldoc (Andrea Righi). Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Andrea Righi <arighi@nvidia.com>

+Description: (RW) Read returns value of the Heartbeat update period.
+ Write to the file changes this period value.
+
+ This period should reflect planned polling interval of device
+ health status. High frequency Heartbeat monitoring wastes CPU cycles
+ but minimizes the customer’s system downtime. Also, if there are
+ large service requests that take some time to complete, high frequency
+ Heartbeat monitoring could result in false reports of unresponsiveness
+ and in those cases, period needs to be increased.
+
+ This parameter is effective only for c3xxx, c62x, dh895xcc devices.
+ 4xxx has this value internally fixed to 200ms.
+
+ Default value is set to 500. Minimal allowed value is 200.
+ All values are expressed in milliseconds.

+Description: (WO) Write to inject an error that simulates an heartbeat
+ failure. This is to be used for testing purposes.
+
+ After writing this file, the driver stops arbitration on a
+ random engine and disables the fetching of heartbeat counters.
+ If a workload is running on the device, a job submitted to the
+ accelerator might not get a response and a read of the
+ `heartbeat/status` attribute might report -1, i.e. device
+ unresponsive.
+ The error is unrecoverable thus the device must be restarted to
+ restore its functionality.
+
+ This attribute is available only when the kernel is built with
+ CONFIG_CRYPTO_DEV_QAT_ERROR_INJECTION=y.
+
+ A write of 1 enables error injection.
+
+ The following example shows how to enable error injection::
+
+ # cd /sys/kernel/debug/qat_<device>_<BDF>
+ # echo 1 > heartbeat/inject_error
