- Cgroup sub-scheduler groundwork. Multiple BPF schedulers can be
attached to cgroups and the dispatch path is made hierarchical. This
involves substantial restructuring of the core dispatch, bypass,
watchdog, and dump paths to be per-scheduler, along with new
infrastructure for scheduler ownership enforcement, lifecycle
management, and cgroup subtree iteration. The enqueue path is not yet
updated and will follow in a later cycle.
- scx_bpf_dsq_reenq() generalized to support any DSQ including remote
local DSQs and user DSQs. Built on top of this, SCX_ENQ_IMMED
guarantees that tasks dispatched to local DSQs either run immediately
or get reenqueued back through ops.enqueue(), giving schedulers tighter
control over queueing latency. Also useful for opportunistic CPU
sharing across sub-schedulers.
- ops.dequeue() was only invoked when the core knew a task was in BPF
data structures, missing scheduling property change events and skipping
callbacks for non-local DSQ dispatches from ops.select_cpu(). Fixed to
guarantee exactly one ops.dequeue() call when a task leaves BPF
scheduler custody.
- Kfunc access validation moved from runtime to BPF verifier time,
removing runtime mask enforcement.
- Idle SMT sibling prioritization in the idle CPU selection path.
- Documentation, selftest, and tooling updates. Misc bug fixes and
cleanups.
- Merges from tip/sched-core, cgroup/for-7.1, and for-7.0-fixes to
resolve dependencies and conflicts for the above changes.
