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
