Merge tag 'sched-core-2023-04-27' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar: - Allow unprivileged PSI poll()ing - Fix performance regression introduced by mm_cid - Improve livepatch stalls by adding livepatch task switching to cond_resched(). This resolves livepatching busy-loop stalls with certain CPU-bound kthreads - Improve sched_move_task() performance on autogroup configs - On core-scheduling CPUs, avoid selecting throttled tasks to run - Misc cleanups, fixes and improvements * tag 'sched-core-2023-04-27' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: sched/clock: Fix local_clock() before sched_clock_init() sched/rt: Fix bad task migration for rt tasks sched: Fix performance regression introduced by mm_cid sched/core: Make sched_dynamic_mutex static sched/psi: Allow unprivileged polling of N*2s period sched/psi: Extract update_triggers side effect sched/psi: Rename existing poll members in preparation sched/psi: Rearrange polling code in preparation sched/fair: Fix inaccurate tally of ttwu_move_affine vhost: Fix livepatch timeouts in vhost_worker() livepatch,sched: Add livepatch task switching to cond_resched() livepatch: Skip task_call_func() for current task livepatch: Convert stack entries array to percpu sched: Interleave cfs bandwidth timers for improved single thread performance at low utilization sched/core: Reduce cost of sched_move_task when config autogroup sched/core: Avoid selecting the task that is throttled to run when core-sched enable sched/topology: Make sched_energy_mutex,update static

instead.

When activated, psi monitor stays active for at least the duration of one
tracking window to avoid repeated activations/deactivations when system is
bouncing in and out of the stall state.
