Hello, Follow-up fixes and enforcement holes plugged from the recent sub-scheduler work. The first patch fixes the tools' restart loop clobbering an exit that was requested while a restart was pending. The rest tighten how cid-addressed operations from sub-schedulers are handled when the caller lacks the necessary caps. Reenq to another sched's local DSQs is now denied and counted, and a new event counts the already-denied kicks. These checks are lockless - transient false positives from cap rotation are harmless and false negatives can't happen by visibility. cpuperf control moves behind a new SCX_CAP_PERF which only the root holds by default, and scx_bpf_cidperf_set() reports the result synchronously through a new versioned interface as its check is authoritative under the target's rq lock. 0001-tools-sched_ext-Don-t-restart-over-a-pending-exit-re.patch 0002-sched_ext-Gate-local-DSQ-reenq-on-baseline-cid-acces.patch 0003-sched_ext-Count-kicks-denied-for-lacking-baseline-ci.patch 0004-sched_ext-Factor-out-scx_cpuperf_set.patch 0005-sched_ext-Gate-scx_bpf_cidperf_set-behind-a-new-SCX_.patch Based on sched_ext/for-7.3 (c509d8107026).
