Mathieu Desnoyers 02d954c0fd sched: Compact RSEQ concurrency IDs with reduced threads and affinity 
When a process reduces its number of threads or clears bits in its CPU
affinity mask, the mm_cid allocation should eventually converge towards
smaller values.

However, the change introduced by:

commit 7e019dcc47 ("sched: Improve cache locality of RSEQ concurrency
IDs for intermittent workloads")

adds a per-mm/CPU recent_cid which is never unset unless a thread
migrates.

This is a tradeoff between:

A) Preserving cache locality after a transition from many threads to few
   threads, or after reducing the hamming weight of the allowed CPU mask.

B) Making the mm_cid upper bounds wrt nr threads and allowed CPU mask
   easy to document and understand.

C) Allowing applications to eventually react to mm_cid compaction after
   reduction of the nr threads or allowed CPU mask, making the tracking
   of mm_cid compaction easier by shrinking it back towards 0 or not.

D) Making sure applications that periodically reduce and then increase
   again the nr threads or allowed CPU mask still benefit from good
   cache locality with mm_cid.

Introduce the following changes:

* After shrinking the number of threads or reducing the number of
  allowed CPUs, reduce the value of max_nr_cid so expansion of CID
  allocation will preserve cache locality if the number of threads or
  allowed CPUs increase again.

* Only re-use a recent_cid if it is within the max_nr_cid upper bound,
  else find the first available CID.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
