[PATCH v2 0/1] sched: Improve cache locality of RSEQ concurrency IDs

[Mathieu Desnoyers]

Intermittent workloads behaving in bursts spaced by more than 100ms
on each CPU exhibit bad cache locality and degraded performance compared
to purely per-cpu data indexing, because concurrency IDs are allocated
over various CPUs and cores, therefore losing cache locality of the
associated data.

This series addresses this shortcoming. I observed speedups up to 16.7x
compared to plain mm_cid indexing in benchmarks.

It applies on top of v6.10.6.

This deprecates the prior "sched: NUMA-aware per-memory-map concurrency
IDs" patch series with a simpler and more general approach.

Feedback is welcome!

Thanks,

Mathieu
