Mark the setting as off, replacing the ARGO specification. This points out anomalies with the scheduler configuration: Unsupported schedulers better don't default to Y in release builds (like is already the case for ARINC653). Without at least the SCHED_NULL adjustments, the shim would suddenly build with RTDS as its default scheduler. As a result, the SCHED_NULL setting can also be dropped from defconfig. Clearly with the shim defaulting to it, SCHED_NULL must be supported at least there.

Make SCHED_NULL the default when PV_SHIM_EXCLUSIVE. --- I'm certainly open to consider alterations on the sched/Kconfig adjustments, but _something_ needs to be done there. In particular I was puzzled to find the NULL scheduler marked unsupported. Clearly with the shim defaulting to it, it must be supported at least there. In a PV_SHIM (but perhaps !PV_SHIM_EXCLUSIVE) build with the build-time default not being SCHED_NULL, when actually running as shim I can't seem to see how the null scheduler would get chosen as the default nevertheless. Shouldn't this happen (in the absence of a command line override)? --- a/SUPPORT.md +++ b/SUPPORT.md @@ -351,9 +351,10 @@ Currently only single-vcpu domains are s A very simple, very static scheduling policy that always schedules the same vCPU(s) on the same pCPU(s).
