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>

+What: /sys/.../<device>/mdev_supported_types/
+Date: October 2016
+Contact: Kirti Wankhede <kwankhede@nvidia.com>
+Description:
+ This directory contains list of directories of currently
+ supported mediated device types and their details for
+ <device>. Supported type attributes are defined by the
+ vendor driver who registers with Mediated device framework.
+ Each supported type is a directory whose name is created
+ by adding the device driver string as a prefix to the
+ string provided by the vendor driver.
+
+What: /sys/.../<device>/mdev_supported_types/<type-id>/
+Date: October 2016
+Contact: Kirti Wankhede <kwankhede@nvidia.com>
+Description:
+ This directory gives details of supported type, like name,
+ description, available_instances, device_api etc.
+ 'device_api' and 'available_instances' are mandatory
+ attributes to be provided by vendor driver. 'name',
+ 'description' and other vendor driver specific attributes
+ are optional.
+
+What: /sys/.../mdev_supported_types/<type-id>/create
+Date: October 2016
+Contact: Kirti Wankhede <kwankhede@nvidia.com>
+Description:
+ Writing UUID to this file will create mediated device of
+ type <type-id> for parent device <device>. This is a
+ write-only file.
+ For example::
+
+ # echo "83b8f4f2-509f-382f-3c1e-e6bfe0fa1001" > \
+ /sys/devices/foo/mdev_supported_types/foo-1/create

+What: /sys/.../mdev_supported_types/<type-id>/devices/
+Date: October 2016
+Contact: Kirti Wankhede <kwankhede@nvidia.com>
+Description:
+ This directory contains symbolic links pointing to mdev
+ devices sysfs entries which are created of this <type-id>.
+
+What: /sys/.../mdev_supported_types/<type-id>/available_instances
+Date: October 2016
+Contact: Kirti Wankhede <kwankhede@nvidia.com>
+Description:
+ Reading this attribute will show the number of mediated
+ devices of type <type-id> that can be created. This is a
+ readonly file.
+Users:
+ Userspace applications interested in creating mediated
+ device of that type. Userspace application should check
+ the number of available instances could be created before
+ creating mediated device of this type.
+
+What: /sys/.../mdev_supported_types/<type-id>/device_api
+Date: October 2016
+Contact: Kirti Wankhede <kwankhede@nvidia.com>
+Description:
+ Reading this attribute will show VFIO device API supported
+ by this type. For example, "vfio-pci" for a PCI device,
+ "vfio-platform" for platform device.
+
+What: /sys/.../mdev_supported_types/<type-id>/name
+Date: October 2016
+Contact: Kirti Wankhede <kwankhede@nvidia.com>
+Description:
+ Reading this attribute will show human readable name of the
+ mediated device that will get created of type <type-id>.
+ This is optional attribute. For example: "Grid M60-0Q"
+Users:
+ Userspace applications interested in knowing the name of
+ a particular <type-id> that can help in understanding the
+ type of mediated device.
+
+What: /sys/.../mdev_supported_types/<type-id>/description
+Date: October 2016
+Contact: Kirti Wankhede <kwankhede@nvidia.com>
+Description:
+ Reading this attribute will show description of the type of
+ mediated device that will get created of type <type-id>.
+ This is optional attribute. For example:
+ "2 heads, 512M FB, 2560x1600 maximum resolution"
+Users:
+ Userspace applications interested in knowing the details of
+ a particular <type-id> that can help in understanding the
+ features provided by that type of mediated device.

+Description:
+ This directory represents device directory of mediated
+ device. It contains all the attributes related to mediated
+ device.

+What: /sys/.../<device>/<UUID>/mdev_type
+Date: October 2016
+Contact: Kirti Wankhede <kwankhede@nvidia.com>
+Description:
+ This is symbolic link pointing to supported type, <type-id>
+ directory of which this mediated device is created.
+
+What: /sys/.../<device>/<UUID>/remove
+Date: October 2016
+Contact: Kirti Wankhede <kwankhede@nvidia.com>
+Description:
+ Writing '1' to this file destroys the mediated device. The
+ vendor driver can fail the remove() callback if that device
+ is active and the vendor driver doesn't support hot unplug.
+ Example::
+
+ # echo 1 > /sys/bus/mdev/devices/<UUID>/remove
