Merge tag 'sched-urgent-2026-03-01' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull scheduler fixes from Ingo Molnar: - Fix zero_vruntime tracking when there's a single task running - Fix slice protection logic - Fix the ->vprot logic for reniced tasks - Fix lag clamping in mixed slice workloads - Fix objtool uaccess warning (and bug) in the !CONFIG_RSEQ_SLICE_EXTENSION case caused by unexpected un-inlining, which triggers with older compilers - Fix a comment in the rseq registration rseq_size bound check code - Fix a legacy RSEQ ABI quirk that handled 32-byte area sizes differently, which special size we now reached naturally and want to avoid. The visible ugliness of the new reserved field will be avoided the next time the RSEQ area is extended. * tag 'sched-urgent-2026-03-01' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: rseq: slice ext: Ensure rseq feature size differs from original rseq size rseq: Clarify rseq registration rseq_size bound check comment sched/core: Fix wakeup_preempt's next_class tracking rseq: Mark rseq_arm_slice_extension_timer() __always_inline sched/fair: Fix lag clamp sched/eevdf: Update se->vprot in reweight_entity() sched/fair: Only set slice protection at pick time sched/fair: Fix zero_vruntime tracking
