Linus Torvalds 8f7c8b88bd sched_ext: Change for v6.13
- Improve the default select_cpu() implementation making it topology aware
   and handle WAKE_SYNC better.
 
 - set_arg_maybe_null() was used to inform the verifier which ops args could
   be NULL in a rather hackish way. Use the new __nullable CFI stub tags
   instead.
 
 - On Sapphire Rapids multi-socket systems, a BPF scheduler, by hammering on
   the same queue across sockets, could live-lock the system to the point
   where the system couldn't make reasonable forward progress. This could
   lead to soft-lockup triggered resets or stalling out bypass mode switch
   and thus BPF scheduler ejection for tens of minutes if not hours. After
   trying a number of mitigations, the following set worked reliably:
 
   - Injecting artificial cpu_relax() loops in two places while sched_ext is
     trying to turn on the bypass mode.
 
   - Triggering scheduler ejection when soft-lockup detection is imminent (a
     quarter of threshold left).
 
   While not the prettiest, the impact both in terms of code complexity and
   overhead is minimal.
 
 - A common complaint on the API is the overuse of the word "dispatch" and
   the confusion around "consume". This is due to how the dispatch queues
   became more generic over time. Rename the affected kfuncs for clarity.
   Thanks to BPF's compatibility features, this change can be made in a way
   that's both forward and backward compatible. The compatibility code will
   be dropped in a few releases.
 
 - Pull sched_ext/for-6.12-fixes to receive a prerequisite change. Other misc
   changes.
