sched_ext: Add scx_simple and scx_example_qmap example schedulers 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.

sched_ext: Add a cgroup scheduler which uses flattened hierarchy This patch adds scx_flatcg example scheduler which implements hierarchical weight-based cgroup CPU control by flattening the cgroup hierarchy into a single layer by compounding the active weight share at each level. This flattening of hierarchy can bring a substantial performance gain when the cgroup hierarchy is nested multiple levels. in a simple benchmark using wrk[8] on apache serving a CGI script calculating sha1sum of a small file, it outperforms CFS by ~3% with CPU controller disabled and by ~10% with two apache instances competing with 2:1 weight ratio nested four level deep. However, the gain comes at the cost of not being able to properly handle thundering herd of cgroups. For example, if many cgroups which are nested behind a low priority parent cgroup wake up around the same time, they may be able to consume more CPU cycles than they are entitled to. In many use cases, this isn't a real concern especially given the performance gain. Also, there are ways to mitigate the problem further by e.g. introducing an extra scheduling layer on cgroup delegation boundaries. v5: - Updated to specify SCX_OPS_HAS_CGROUP_WEIGHT instead of SCX_OPS_KNOB_CGROUP_WEIGHT. v4: - Revert reference counted kptr for cgv_node as the change caused easily reproducible stalls. v3: - Updated to reflect the core API changes including ops.init/exit_task() and direct dispatch from ops.select_cpu(). Fixes and improvements including additional statistics. - Use reference counted kptr for cgv_node instead of xchg'ing against stash location. - Dropped '-p' option. v2: - Use SCX_BUG[_ON]() to simplify error handling.
