sched/cache: Keep nr_pref_llc_running in the runnable domain, to fix LLC mis-scheduling buggrafted
alb_break_llc() decides whether to break LLC preference during active load balance. It does so by testing that every runnable fair task on the source rq prefers its LLC: env->src_rq->nr_pref_llc_running == env->src_rq->cfs.h_nr_runnable But the two counters cover different sets. nr_pref_llc_running is updated in account_llc_enqueue()/account_llc_dequeue(), next to cfs_rq->nr_queued, so it follows queued tasks. h_nr_runnable is updated in set_delayed()/ clear_delayed() and drops delay-dequeued tasks. So under DELAY_DEQUEUE, a preferring task that goes to sleep stays counted in nr_pref_llc_running while h_nr_runnable falls. The equality then breaks, alb_break_llc() returns false, and active balance is free to pull a task off its preferred LLC. Active balance only moves runnable tasks, and this is the only LLC check it consults: once the stopper runs, LBF_ACTIVE_LB skips the per-task test in can_migrate_task(). The runnable set is the one we want. Fix it on the counter side. A task should be counted in nr_pref_llc_running exactly while it is both queued on its preferred LLC (pref_llc_queued) and runnable (!sched_delayed). Define that membership once in task_pref_llc_runnable(), and adjust the counter only through pref_llc_running_inc()/pref_llc_running_dec() from the four sites that change either input: account_llc_enqueue(), account_llc_dequeue(), set_delayed() and clear_delayed(). Gating every update on the same predicate keeps the delay, wake and dequeue paths from double-counting or underflowing; see the comments at those sites for the ordering. nr_llc_running and sd->llc_counts are not touched and stay on queued semantics.

+Description: (RW) These attributes specify the direction of the signal
+ on the associated SMA connectors, and also the signal sink
+ or source.
+
+ The display format of the attribute is a space separated
+ list of signals, prefixed by the input/output direction.
+
+ The signal direction may be changed (if supported) by
+ prefixing the signal list with either "in:" or "out:".
+ If neither prefix is present, then the direction is unchanged.
+
+ The output signal may be changed by writing one of the listed
+ values from the available_sma_outputs attribute set.
+
+ The input destinations may be changed by writing multiple
+ values from the available_sma_inputs attribute set,
+ separated by spaces. If there are duplicated input
+ destinations between connectors, the lowest numbered SMA
+ connector is given priority.
+
+ Note that not all input combinations may make sense.
+
+ The 10Mhz reference clock input is currently only valid
+ on SMA1 and may not be combined with other destination sinks.

+ taken from the UBX-NAV-TIMELS message.

+What: /sys/class/timecard/ocpN/ts_window_adjust
+Date: September 2021
+Contact: Jonathan Lemon <jonathan.lemon@gmail.com>
+Description: (RW) When retrieving the PHC with the PTP SYS_OFFSET_EXTENDED
+ ioctl, a system timestamp is made before and after the PHC
+ time is retrieved. The midpoint between the two system
+ timestamps is usually taken to be the SYS time associated
+ with the PHC time. This estimate may be wrong, as it depends
+ on PCI latencies, and when the PHC time was latched
+
+ The attribute value reduces the end timestamp by the given
+ number of nanoseconds, so the computed midpoint matches the
+ retrieved PHC time.
+
+ The initial value is set based on measured PCI latency and
+ the estimated point where the FPGA latches the PHC time. This
+ value may be changed by writing an unsigned integer.
