Linux kernel source tree
2a52ca7c98
Add two simple example BPF schedulers - simple and qmap.
* simple: In terms of scheduling, it behaves identical to not having any
operation implemented at all. The two operations it implements are only to
improve visibility and exit handling. On certain homogeneous
configurations, this actually can perform pretty well.
* qmap: A fixed five level priority scheduler to demonstrate queueing PIDs
on BPF maps for scheduling. While not very practical, this is useful as a
simple example and will be used to demonstrate different features.
v7: - Compat helpers stripped out in prepartion of upstreaming as the
upstreamed patchset will be the baselinfe. Utility macros that can be
used to implement compat features are kept.
- Explicitly disable map autoattach on struct_ops to avoid trying to
attach twice while maintaining compatbility with older libbpf.
v6: - Common header files reorganized and cleaned up. Compat helpers are
added to demonstrate how schedulers can maintain backward
compatibility with older kernels while making use of newly added
features.
- simple_select_cpu() added to keep track of the number of local
dispatches. This is needed because the default ops.select_cpu()
implementation is updated to dispatch directly and won't call
ops.enqueue().
- Updated to reflect the sched_ext API changes. Switching all tasks is
the default behavior now and scx_qmap supports partial switching when
`-p` is specified.
- tools/sched_ext/Kconfig dropped. This will be included in the doc
instead.
v5: - Improve Makefile. Build artifects are now collected into a separate
dir which change be changed. Install and help targets are added and
clean actually cleans everything.
- MEMBER_VPTR() improved to improve access to structs. ARRAY_ELEM_PTR()
and RESIZEABLE_ARRAY() are added to support resizable arrays in .bss.
- Add scx_common.h which provides common utilities to user code such as
SCX_BUG[_ON]() and RESIZE_ARRAY().
- Use SCX_BUG[_ON]() to simplify error handling.
v4: - Dropped _example prefix from scheduler names.
v3: - Rename scx_example_dummy to scx_example_simple and restructure a bit
to ease later additions. Comment updates.
- Added declarations for BPF inline iterators. In the future, hopefully,
these will be consolidated into a generic BPF header so that they
don't need to be replicated here.
v2: - Updated with the generic BPF cpumask helpers.

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.
