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>

+ * The hangcheck-timer driver uses the TSC to catch delays that
+ * jiffies does not notice. A timer is set. When the timer fires, it
+ * checks whether it was delayed and if that delay exceeds a given
+ * margin of error. The hangcheck_tick module parameter takes the timer
+ * duration in seconds. The hangcheck_margin parameter defines the
+ * margin of error, in seconds. The defaults are 60 seconds for the
+ * timer and 180 seconds for the margin of error. IOW, a timer is set
+ * for 60 seconds. When the timer fires, the callback checks the
+ * actual duration that the timer waited. If the duration exceeds the
+ * allotted time and margin (here 60 + 180, or 240 seconds), the machine
+ * is restarted. A healthy machine will have the duration match the
+ * expected timeout very closely.
