The sched_ext core often has to override the BPF scheduler decisions,
and some events could be interesting but not easily visible.
This patchset aims to address such a problem in the following manner:
- Introduce an infrastructure to collect such events in a scalable and
extensible way and to expose the collected events to the BPF scheduler
in a compatible way.
- Define seven events to be collected.
- Modify an scx scheduler to demonstrate the usage of the new BPF APIs.
ChangeLog: v1 -> v2
- Rename scx_event_stat and scx_bpf_event_stat() to scx_event_stats and
scx_bpf_event_stats().
- Rename event names following the convention of $COMPONENT_$EVENT.
- Rename event_stats to event_stats_cpu.
- Drop the enum scx_event_kind and related macros.
- Revise scx_add_event() to use this_cpu_add().
- Add __scx_add_event() to use __this_cpu_add().
- Move the event counter resetting code to the loading of a BPF scheduler.
- The bypass-related event is further categorized into three events:
BYPASS_ACTIVATE, BYPASS_DISPATCH, and BYPASS_DURATION.
- Revise SELECT_CPU_FALLBACK to capture the case of the chosen CPU is not
allowed.
- Move is_cpu_allowed() from core.c to sched.h to use in the
SELECT_CPU_FALLBACK code.
