[PATCH 0/3] sched: migrate_disable() vs per-CPU access safety checks

Hi folks,

I've hit a few warnings when taking v5.13-rt1 out for a spin on my arm64
Juno. Those are due to regions that become preemptible under PREEMPT_RT, but
remain safe wrt per-CPU accesses due to migrate_disable() + a sleepable lock.

This adds a helper that looks at not just preemptability but also affinity and
migrate disable, and plasters the warning sites.

Cheers,
Valentin

  sched: Introduce is_pcpu_safe()
  rcu/nocb: Check for migratability rather than pure preemptability
  arm64: mm: Make arch_faults_on_old_pte() check for migratability
