This is the initial pull request of sched_ext. The v7 patchset
(https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20240618212056.2833381-1-tj@kernel.org) is
applied on top of tip/sched/core + bpf/master as of Jun 18th.
tip/sched/core 793a62823d1c ("sched/core: Drop spinlocks on contention iff kernel is preempti
ble")
bpf/master f6afdaf72af7 ("Merge branch 'bpf-support-resilient-split-btf'")
Since then, the following pulls were made:
- v6.11-rc1 is pulled to keep up with the mainline.
- tip/sched/core was pulled several times:
- 7b9f6c864a34, 0df340ceae2e, 5ac998574f93, 0b1777f0fa04: To resolve
conflicts. See each commit for details on conflicts and their
resolutions.
- d7b01aef9dbd: To receive fd03c5b85855 ("sched: Rework pick_next_task()")
and related commits. @prev in added to sched_class->put_prev_task() and
put_prev_task() is reordered after ->pick_task(), which makes
sched_class->switch_class() unnecessary. The follow-up commits update
sched_ext accordingly and drop sched_class->switch_class().
- bpf/master was pulled to receive baebe9aaba1e ("bpf: allow passing struct
bpf_iter_<type> as kfunc arguments") and related changes in preparation
for the DSQ iterator patchset
To obtain the net sched_ext changes, diff against:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/sched_ext.git for-6.12-base
which is the merge of:
tip/sched/core bc9057da1a22 ("sched/cpufreq: Use NSEC_PER_MSEC for deadline task")
bpf/master 2ad6d23f465 ("selftests/bpf: Do not update vmlinux.h unnecessarily")
Since the v7 patchset, the following changes were made:
- cpuperf support which was a part of the v6 patchset was posted separately
and then applied after reviews.
- cgroup support which was a part of the v6 patchset was posted seprately,
iterated and then applied.
- Improve integration with sched core.
- Double locking usage in migration paths dropped. Depend on
TASK_ON_RQ_MIGRATING synchronization instead.
- The BPF scheduler couldn't directly dispatch to the local DSQ of another
CPU using a SCX_DSQ_LOCAL_ON verdict. This caused difficulties around
handling non-wakeup enqueues. Updated so that SCX_DSQ_LOCAL_ON can be used
in the enqueue path too.
- DSQ iterator which was a part of the v6 patchset was posted separately.
The iterator itself was applied after a couple revisions. The associated
selective consumption kfunc can use further improvements and is still
being worked on.
- scx_bpf_dispatch[_vtime]_from_dsq() added to increase flexibility. A task
can now be transferred between two DSQs from almost any context. This
involved significant refactoring of migration code.
- Various fixes and improvements.
As the branch is based on top of tip/sched/core + bpf/master, please merge
after both are applied.

Merge tag 'sched_ext-for-6.12' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/sched_ext
Pull sched_ext support from Tejun Heo:
"This implements a new scheduler class called ‘ext_sched_class’, or
sched_ext, which allows scheduling policies to be implemented as BPF
programs.
The goals of this are:
- Ease of experimentation and exploration: Enabling rapid iteration
of new scheduling policies.
- Customization: Building application-specific schedulers which
implement policies that are not applicable to general-purpose
schedulers.
- Rapid scheduler deployments: Non-disruptive swap outs of scheduling
policies in production environments"
See individual commits for more documentation, but also the cover letter
for the latest series:

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.
