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.

+# Stage one of module building created the following:
+# a) The individual .o files used for the module
+# b) A <module>.o file which is the .o files above linked together
+# c) A <module>.mod file, listing the name of the preliminary <module>.o file,
+# plus all .o files
+# d) modules.order, which lists all the modules
+
+# Stage 2 is handled by this file and does the following
+# 1) Find all modules listed in modules.order
+# 2) modpost is then used to
+# 3) create one <module>.mod.c file per module
+# 4) create one Module.symvers file with CRC for all exported symbols
+
+# Step 3 is used to place certain information in the module's ELF
+# section, including information such as:
+# Version magic (see include/linux/vermagic.h for full details)
+# - Kernel release
+# - SMP is CONFIG_SMP
+# - PREEMPT is CONFIG_PREEMPT[_RT]
+# - GCC Version
+# Module info
+# - Module version (MODULE_VERSION)
+# - Module alias'es (MODULE_ALIAS)
+# - Module license (MODULE_LICENSE)
+# - See include/linux/module.h for more details
+
+# Step 4 is solely used to allow module versioning in external modules,
+# where the CRC of each module is retrieved from the Module.symvers file.
