task_avg_nvcsw() was incorrectly returning a bool instead of u64,
limiting the impact of the lowlatency boost.
Fix it by returning the proper type (u64).

When a task is the last one running on a CPU and still wants to
continue, allow it to run and replenish its time only if the used CPU is
part a fully idle SMT core.

During ttwu, the kernel may decide to skip ->select_task_rq() (e.g.,
when only one CPU is allowed or migration is disabled). This causes to
call ops.enqueue() directly without having a chance to call
ops.select_cpu().
Therefore, introduce a new flag (select_cpu_done) in the local task
context to determine if ops.select_cpu() was bypassed and, in that case,
attempt to find an idle CPU directly from ops.enqueue().
In the future this information will be supplied by the kernel through a
special enqueue flag (SCX_ENQ_CPU_SELECTED) [1]. However, the custom
flag in the local task context ensures to reliably determine the same
information, even on older kernels where this flag is not available.

Fix a bug in cache initialization where the first node would repeated
get all CPUs added to the mask. Refactor some consts to be more clear.

It seems that with the latest kernel the per-CPU DSQ stall while
executing sched_setaffinity() doesn't happen anymore.
Therefore, get rid of the temporary workaround introduced by commit
86db45f ("scx_rustland_core: prevent deadlock with per-CPU DSQs and CPU
affinity") and restore the old behavior, which offers more fair
scheduling policy.

When finding a victim candidate for preemption, a randomly chosen
candidate could be out of valid CPU range due to CPU offline, etc. In
this case, try another CPU randomly.

The doc of scx_layered `Opt` is out of sync.
Implement attribute macro #stat_doc to generate doc from the `desc`
property.
Apply #stat_doc to `LayerStats` and `SysStats in scx_layered.

We used the average performance criticality of tasks as a threshold to
determine the proper core type (big or little). However, if the big
core's compute capacity is not half of the total compute capacity, such
an average-based determination becomes suboptimal. If fewer tasks are
classified as performance-critical tasks and requested to run on big
cores, the big cores would be wasted by stealing arbitrary
non-performance-critical tasks. That could result in performance
instability.
Hence, determine the threshold more accurately by considering (active)
big cores' compute capacity and the (approximated) distribution of
performance criticality of tasks.

As a preparation to improve the performance criticality logic, we first
rename "avg_perf_cri" to "thr_perf_cri" since average is no longer the
threshold.

Enabling the `caching-build` workflow on `merge_group` actions. This is required to enable merge queues which should make merging lots of PRs while getting full CI testing possible. Currently `lint` is the only required check but we will add more in future.
* Fix a couple of misc errors in build scripts.
* Tweak scripts/kconfigs to make bpftrace work.
* Update how CI caching works to make builds faster (6 minute turnaround
time)
* Update CI config to generate per-scheduler debug archives w/ guest
dmesg/scheduler stdout, guest stdout, bpftrace script output,
veristat output.
* Update build scripts to accept the following:
** VNG RW -- write to host filesystem (better caching, logging).
* For stress tests in particular (via ini config):
** QEMU Opts -- to facilitate reproducing bugs (i.e. high core count).
** bpftrace scripts -- specify bpftrace scripts to run during stress
tests.
* enable bpftrace when using stress tests
update meson/stress test runner to enable
running bpftrace scripts while running
stress tests.
* disable layered stats output on ci
Add an enum for the layer growth algo to the bpf layer config. This will
be useful for implementing topology aware layer growth algorithms.
When selecting an idle CPU the current logic tries to keep tasks
local to LLC/NUMA node. However, for certain growth algorithms (ex:
RoundRobin) this is suboptimal. Adding the layer growth algorithm
will allow for different paths for CPU selection in the idle/preemption
paths.

enable build and test outside src dir
add a option `build_outside_src`, defaulted
to false, to undo a tweak to enable meson to work
well with builds within src dir.
this makes some tools work better + enables
moving builds etc. to /tmp (faster for iteration if
ramdisk)
The gpu-topology feature can be enabled to include GPUs when generating
a topology-map. Disabling the feature will remove the nvml-wrapper
dependency as well as GPU-specific code in topology.rs.
Most of the code was moved to a new module in rust/scx_utils/src/gpu.rs
but some of it was kept in topology.rs and hidden behind #[cfg(feature =
"gpu-topology")].

* enable ide's etc. to work on the bpf.c files
this makes it so that clangd and ide tools which use clangd
can work on the bpf.c code.
nothing should actually be changed outside of that ide/editor
environment, all the changes are ifdef'ed on LSP which is set
in the added .clangd file.
* move intf include out of both sides of ifdef toggle
* make ci nicer
Replace build scheds and merged with caching build, and rename
caching build to build-and-test.
This should make the CI reports on PRs be nice and specific
(i.e. at a glance, know what passes and what fails).
It also keeps PR CI jobs up to date (as folks edit things) and
has them all use one config/24.04 etc.
* prevent untar permission errors from causing cache misses
