Subject: [PATCH v0.9 0/6] sched,mm,x86/uaccess: implement User Managed Concurrency Groups

User Managed Concurrency Groups (UMCG) is an M:N threading
subsystem/toolkit that lets user space application developers implement
in-process user space schedulers.

This patchset is v0.8 rebased on top of the current tip/sched/core,
with a fix in umcg_update_state of an issue reported by Tao Zhou.

Key changes from patchset v0.7:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20211012232522.714898-1-posk@google.com/:

- added libumcg tools/lib/umcg;
- worker "wakeup" is reworked so that it is now purely a userspace op,
  instead of waking the thread in order for it to block on return
  to the userspace immediately;
- a couple of minor fixes and refactorings.

These big things remain to be addressed (in no particular order):
- support tracing/debugging
- make context switches faster (see umcg_do_context_switch in umcg.c)
- support other architectures
- cleanup and post selftests in tools/testing/selftests/umcg/
- allow cross-mm wakeups (securely)


Peter Oskolkov (6):
  sched/umcg: add WF_CURRENT_CPU and externise ttwu
  mm, x86/uaccess: add userspace atomic helpers
  sched/umcg: implement UMCG syscalls
  sched/umcg, lib/umcg: implement libumcg
  sched/umcg: add Documentation/userspace-api/umcg.txt
  sched/umcg, lib/umcg: add tools/lib/umcg/libumcg.txt
