Merge tag 'sched-core-2021-04-28' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:

 - Clean up SCHED_DEBUG: move the decades old mess of sysctl, procfs and
   debugfs interfaces to a unified debugfs interface.

 - Signals: Allow caching one sigqueue object per task, to improve
   performance & latencies.

 - Improve newidle_balance() irq-off latencies on systems with a large
   number of CPU cgroups.

 - Improve energy-aware scheduling

 - Improve the PELT metrics for certain workloads

 - Reintroduce select_idle_smt() to improve load-balancing locality -
   but without the previous regressions

 - Add 'scheduler latency debugging': warn after long periods of pending
   need_resched. This is an opt-in feature that requires the enabling of
   the LATENCY_WARN scheduler feature, or the use of the
   resched_latency_warn_ms=xx boot parameter.

 - CPU hotplug fixes for HP-rollback, and for the 'fail' interface. Fix
   remaining balance_push() vs. hotplug holes/races

 - PSI fixes, plus allow /proc/pressure/ files to be written by
   CAP_SYS_RESOURCE tasks as well

 - Fix/improve various load-balancing corner cases vs. capacity margins

 - Fix sched topology on systems with NUMA diameter of 3 or above

 - Fix PF_KTHREAD vs to_kthread() race

 - Minor rseq optimizations

 - Misc cleanups, optimizations, fixes and smaller updates

+ * @value: a pointer to the variable that the file should read to and write
+ *         from.
+ *
+ * This function creates a file in debugfs with the given name that
+ * contains the value of the variable @value.  If the @mode variable is so
+ * set, it can be read from, and written to.
+ *
+ * This function will return a pointer to a dentry if it succeeds.  This
+ * pointer must be passed to the debugfs_remove() function when the file is
+ * to be removed (no automatic cleanup happens if your module is unloaded,
+ * you are responsible here.)  If an error occurs, ERR_PTR(-ERROR) will be
+ * returned.
+ *
+ * If debugfs is not enabled in the kernel, the value ERR_PTR(-ENODEV) will
