Hello,

Arena simplifies verification and allows more natural programming. This
patchset converts scx_qmap to use BPF arena for all mutable state, as
preparation for further sub-sched work.

0001 Rename tctx to taskc for consistency.
0002 Move globals and cpu_ctx into arena.
0003 Move task_ctx into an arena slab with bpf_res_spin_lock.
0004 Replace FIFO queue maps with arena-backed doubly-linked lists.

Based on linus/master (1d51b370a0f8).
