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/class/leds/<led>/pattern
+Date: September 2018
+KernelVersion: 4.20
+Description:
+ Specify a software pattern for the LED, that supports altering
+ the brightness for the specified duration with one software
+ timer. It can do gradual dimming and step change of brightness.
+
+ The pattern is given by a series of tuples, of brightness and
+ duration (ms).
+
+ The exact format is described in:
+ Documentation/devicetree/bindings/leds/leds-trigger-pattern.txt
+
+What: /sys/class/leds/<led>/hr_pattern
+Date: April 2024
+Description:
+ Specify a software pattern for the LED, that supports altering
+ the brightness for the specified duration with one software
+ timer. It can do gradual dimming and step change of brightness.
+
+ Unlike the /sys/class/leds/<led>/pattern, this attribute runs
+ a pattern on high-resolution timer (hrtimer).
+
+What: /sys/class/leds/<led>/hw_pattern
+Date: September 2018
+KernelVersion: 4.20
+Description:
+ Specify a hardware pattern for the LED, for LED hardware that
+ supports autonomously controlling brightness over time, according
+ to some preprogrammed hardware patterns. It deactivates any active
+ software pattern.
+
+ Since different LED hardware can have different semantics of
+ hardware patterns, each driver is expected to provide its own
+ description for the hardware patterns in their documentation
+ file at Documentation/leds/.
+
+What: /sys/class/leds/<led>/repeat
+Date: September 2018
+KernelVersion: 4.20
+Description:
+ Specify a pattern repeat number. -1 means repeat indefinitely,
+ other negative numbers and number 0 are invalid.
+
+ This file will always return the originally written repeat
+ number.
+
+ It should be noticed that some leds, like EL15203000 may
+ only support indefinitely patterns, so they always store -1.
