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>

+ * hung_task_tests.c - Sample code for testing hung tasks with mutex,
+ * semaphore, etc.
+ *
+ * Usage: Load this module and read `<debugfs>/hung_task/mutex`,
+ * `<debugfs>/hung_task/semaphore`, `<debugfs>/hung_task/rw_semaphore_read`,
+ * `<debugfs>/hung_task/rw_semaphore_write`, etc., with 2 or more processes.
+ *
+ * This is for testing kernel hung_task error messages with various locking
+ * mechanisms (e.g., mutex, semaphore, rw_semaphore_read, rw_semaphore_write, etc.).
+ * Note that this may freeze your system or cause a panic. Use only for testing purposes.
