[RFC PATCH 40/86] context_tracking: add ct_state_cpu()

From: Ankur Arora
Date: Tue Nov 07 2023 - 17:04:42 EST


While making up its mind about whether to reschedule a target
runqueue eagerly or lazily, resched_curr() needs to know if the
target is executing in the kernel or in userspace.

Add ct_state_cpu().

Using context-tracking for this seems like overkill. Is there a better
way to achieve this? One problem with depending on user_enter() is that
it happens much too late for our purposes. From the scheduler's
point-of-view the exit state has effectively transitioned once the
task exits the exit_to_user_loop() so we will see stale state
while the task is done with exit_to_user_loop() but has not yet
executed user_enter().
