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:
+ (X = CPU number)
+
+ Machine checks report internal hardware error conditions
+ detected by the CPU. Uncorrected errors typically cause a
+ machine check (often with panic), corrected ones cause a
+ machine check log entry.
+
+ For more details about the x86 machine check architecture
+ see the Intel and AMD architecture manuals from their
+ developer websites.
+
+ For more details about the architecture
+ see http://one.firstfloor.org/~andi/mce.pdf
+
+ Each CPU has its own directory.

+Description:
+ (Y bank number)
+
+ 64bit Hex bitmask enabling/disabling specific subevents for
+ bank Y.
+
+ When a bit in the bitmask is zero then the respective
+ subevent will not be reported.
+
+ By default all events are enabled.
+
+ Note that BIOS maintain another mask to disable specific events
+ per bank. This is not visible here

+Date: Feb, 2007
+Description:
+ The entries appear for each CPU, but they are truly shared
+ between all CPUs.
+
+ How often to poll for corrected machine check errors, in
+ seconds (Note output is hexadecimal). Default 5 minutes.
+ When the poller finds MCEs it triggers an exponential speedup
+ (poll more often) on the polling interval. When the poller
+ stops finding MCEs, it triggers an exponential backoff
+ (poll less often) on the polling interval. The check_interval
+ variable is both the initial and maximum polling interval.
+ 0 means no polling for corrected machine check errors
+ (but some corrected errors might be still reported
+ in other ways)

+ Program to run when a machine check event is detected.
+ This is an alternative to running mcelog regularly from cron

+ Disables logging for corrected errors.
+ All reported corrected errors will be cleared silently.
