The sched_ext CID topology gives each core, LLC and NUMA node a
contiguous CID range. Without cluster entries, schedulers cannot obtain
their CID range or global index.
Walk cores by cache-sharing cluster and add cluster_cid and cluster_idx
to scx_cid_topo. Treat the level inclusively: a core without a wider
cluster forms one of its own, while an LLC-wide cache-sharing group
forms one cluster. This gives every cluster a contiguous CID range and a
dense index.
The walk now takes cores in cluster order rather than LLC order. Shards
are still cut on core boundaries, so a shard doesn't need to contain a
whole cluster; only core, cluster, LLC and node are nested, in that
order.
The level follows whatever the arch reports through
topology_cluster_cpumask(), which on x86 is the L2 sharing mask and is
populated independently of CONFIG_SCHED_CLUSTER.
Tested on a 13th Gen Intel Core i7-13800H: six SMT P-cores occupy CPUs
0-11, eight E-cores occupy CPUs 12-19 in two four-core L2 modules, and
all 20 CPUs share one LLC; the P-core pairs form two-CID clusters, the
E-core modules form four-CID clusters, and cluster_idx is dense across
all eight clusters.

Pull sched_ext fix from Tejun Heo:
- The CPU topology helper for BPF schedulers took no buffer size, so
its structure couldn't grow without breaking schedulers built against
the older layout. Add a size argument.

Conflicts: kept both declarations where 5cadf7545cc6 ("sched_ext: Add a
CID NUMA node lookup kfunc") added one next to the changed
scx_bpf_cid_topo() line, and pointed 29871903f3a3 ("sched_ext: Don't

can grow
scx_bpf_cid_topo() copies struct scx_cid_topo into a buffer the BPF program
sized from its own vmlinux.h while the verifier sizes the write from the
running kernel's BTF. The struct may grow and each growth then breaks every
scheduler built against the older layout, rejected at load or written past
its buffer. This is the usual hole for a struct handed to BPF, closed
elsewhere with a size argument, and it was missed here.
Take the buffer size, copy the smaller of it and the kernel's struct and set
the rest to -1. Accesses to the copy are CO-RE relocated, so the struct can
grow by appending fields, which its comment now states. The kfunc changes in
place: the cid interface is still being finalized and no released scheduler
uses the current form.

CID-form schedulers may need the physical NUMA node for a CID, for
example to allocate arena memory on that node.
The CID topology's node index is not a physical NUMA node ID, and
scx_bpf_cpu_node() is restricted to CPU-form schedulers.
Add scx_bpf_cid_node() to return the physical NUMA node for a CID and
provide a compatibility helper that returns NUMA_NO_NODE on kernels
without this kfunc.

This is another run of the Coccinelle script for converting kmalloc()
family of allocations to kmalloc_obj() via the existing rules in
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci
This catches both the set of kmalloc() uses added since the first
kmalloc_obj() conversions in v7.0 and adds a large group missed in the
first pass due to Coccinelle not interacting well with the cleanup.h
scoped_...() family of macros[1]. I worked around this with spatch's
"--macro-file" argument to a file with all the scoped_...() macros mapped
to Coccinelle's YACFE_ITERATOR[2] as that was the closest viable control
flow indicator I could find.
Build tested allmodconfig on x86, arm64, arm, loongarch, mips, powerpc,
riscv, and s390 with no new warnings.

scx_bpf_cid_override() predates the cid-form arena transition and takes its
arrays as verifier-checked mem+size buffers, forcing scx_qmap to keep the
cpu_to_cid and shard_start arrays in writable bss while the rest of its
state lives in the arena. Unify on arena arguments before cid-form
schedulers start seeing real use.
BPF now translates between BPF and kernel arena addresses for __arena
arguments. Take the arrays as __arena arguments, with the counts passed in
entries. The counts now size the snapshot copies and are bounds-checked
before them.
scx_qmap moves the arrays into struct qmap_arena. As the arena is mmapped at
load, the loader populates them between load and attach instead of before
load.
The arena argument address translation is currently implemented only on
x86-64. Schedulers calling this kfunc load only there for now.

The sub-cap kfuncs take their cmask arguments as __ign pointers. The values
cross the kfunc boundary as unchecked scalars and scx_cmask_ref_init()
rebases them into the arena by hand.
BPF now translates between BPF and kernel arena addresses for __arena
arguments. Tag the cmask arguments __arena so the kfuncs receive kernel
addresses and scx_cmask_ref_init() loses the hand-rolled conversion. The
optional denied_out keeps its NULL not-provided signal via
__arena__nullable. The mandatory masks use plain __arena.
scx_qmap's call sites drop the (void *)(long) casts since the BPF-side
declarations type the cmask arguments __arena and take arena pointers
directly.
The arena argument address translation is currently implemented only on
x86-64. Schedulers calling these kfuncs load only there for now.

The cid tables are visible to the cid kfuncs while being modified: the
first enable publishes the global pointers before filling them,
ops.init_cids() overrides rewrite them in place, and re-enables rebuild
them in place. A racing TRACING or SYSCALL program can read unfilled
entries, including uninitialized memory in the kmalloc'd tables, or torn
topo updates.
Tie the tables' lifetimes to the root sched instead: each root enable
builds a fresh set privately and publishes the per-table __rcu globals once
the layout is final, and root disable unpublishes and RCU-frees the set. A
non-NULL global is now always a fully built table which stays valid for the
reader's RCU read section, and lookups stay two loads. Kfuncs treat NULL as
no-mapping, also after the scheduler exits instead of reporting the stale
last mapping.
The cid kfuncs are available whether the root scheduler is cid-form or
cpu-form, the latter to allow gradual migration to cids. Every root
therefore builds and publishes a default mapping.
Every reader must either be gated on scheduler liveness or NULL-check
inside an RCU read section. Fix the two kfuncs that were neither:
scx_bpf_this_cid() read the table with no RCU or preemption protection and
scx_bpf_task_cid() relied on KF_RCU, which doesn't put a sleepable program
in an RCU read section. The hotplug callbacks are instead serialized by
retiring the tables inside the cpus_read_lock() section that clears
scx_root.
v2: Document why every root builds the tables (desc + cid.c comment).

scx_call_op_set_cpumask() builds a per-cpu cmask in the set_cmask scratch,
which lives in BPF-writable arena. A scheduler can corrupt the scratch's
inline header (base, nr_cids, alloc_words) from another cpu, so sizing and
indexing the write from it risks an out-of-bounds write.
Drive the build from kernel-known geometry instead.
scx_cmask_ref_init_kern() imposes base and nr_cids rather than reading them,
and scx_cmask_ref_from_cpumask() fills the scratch from the ref. Neither
reads the header back.

kfuncs taking struct scx_cmask * from BPF arena memory have two problems.
The pointer can be any value the BPF prog hands in, and the header (@base,
@nr_cids, @alloc_words) can be mutated by the prog concurrently with kernel
access.
Add scx_cmask_ref, a validated handle. _init() normalizes the input pointer
into the arena's kern_vm range via scx_arena_to_kaddr() and snapshots the
header, rejecting a range outside the machine or a nr_cids whose words
exceed the declared @alloc_words. Downstream sizing uses the snapshot, not
the live header. _shard() reads slices while _or() and _copy() write back,
all bounded by the snapshot. No callers yet.
struct scx_cmask's bits[] carried __counted_by(alloc_words), so
UBSAN_BOUNDS and FORTIFY_SOURCE bound accesses to the array. That bound is
read from @alloc_words at the access. For an arena cmask @alloc_words is
BPF-writable. A prog that sets it larger than the real allocation makes the
check pass on a genuine overrun, so the annotation catches nothing, and it
only runs under those debug configs. Drop it - _init() validates
@alloc_words explicitly, and kernel-owned cmasks set it themselves.
v2: Validate @alloc_words in _init(), drop __counted_by. (Andrea, sashiko AI)

An overridden cid mapping invalidates the auto-generated shard layout, so
the override call has to provide both. Extend scx_bpf_cid_override() with a
shard_start[] array that lists the first cid of each shard (starting at 0,
strictly increasing, last shard implicitly extends to num_possible_cpus()).
A scheduler that wants only custom shards with the auto-generated cid
mapping can read the current mapping and pass it back unchanged.
Overridden shards can span NUMA nodes, so scx_shard_node[] is rebuilt by
majority count: each shard is assigned to the node that owns the most cpus
in it.
v2: Snapshot the caller's cpu_to_cid/shard_start arrays before validating. (sashiko AI)

Sub-sched operations need a scalable locking / work domain smaller than the
whole cid space. Carve the cid space into topology-respecting shards: each
shard is a contiguous cid range that stays within one LLC, and LLCs larger
than the per-shard cap (default 24 cids, configurable via
ops.cid_shard_size) split into enough shards to fit. A hard cap of
SCX_CID_SHARD_MAX_CPUS prevents pathological sizes under custom
configurations.
No-topo cids pack into their own shards so every cid has a shard assignment.
Also build scx_cid_shard_ranges[] for O(1) shard-to-cid-range lookup and
scx_shard_node[] so callers can size or place work by NUMA without walking
cids. Auto-built shards inherit their LLC's node. No-topo shards carry
NUMA_NO_NODE.

A cid-form scheduler that calls scx_bpf_cid_override() to install a custom
cid layout can only do so from ops.init(). Enable-path setup that depends on
the cid layout thus has to run after ops.init(), and ops.init() itself can't
use anything derived from the final layout, which turned out to be too
restrictive.
Add an ops.init_cids() callback dedicated to finalizing the cid layout. It
runs before the rest of the enable-path setup, so the final layout is in
effect for everything that follows including ops.init(), which now runs
after the arena pool and cmask scratch allocations.
scx_bpf_cid_override() is restricted to ops.init_cids() at load time. It
sits in a kfunc set gated by SCX_KF_ALLOW_INIT_CIDS, a flag set only on the
init_cids op, so the verifier rejects a call from any other context. The
runtime root-only check is dropped as ops.init_cids() only runs during root
enable.
The qmap demo moves its override into a dedicated qmap_init_cids() and,
while at it, introduces an enum for the cid override modes instead of
hard-coded integers.

The cmask ops can operate on BPF-arena cmasks which BPF programs may read
and write concurrently. The _RACY op variants existed to make such lockless
reads explicit but this turned out to be too restrictive. Mark the word
accesses in all the two-cmask ops with READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE instead and drop
the _RACY variants.

The sources under kernel/sched/ext/ build as a single translation unit:
build_policy.c includes the source files and headers. An LSP/clangd editor
parses each as a standalone unit, sees no types, and reports a flood of
errors.
Give each header its dependencies and include guard, and have each source
include the headers it uses.
ext.c, arena.c and the ext headers now parse clean standalone. idle.c and
cid.c still reference a few macros and helpers defined in ext.c. The next
patch moves those to shared headers.
