/*
* A central FIFO sched_ext scheduler which demonstrates the followings:
*
* a. Making all scheduling decisions from one CPU:
*
* The central CPU is the only one making scheduling decisions. All other
* CPUs kick the central CPU when they run out of tasks to run.
*
* There is one global BPF queue and the central CPU schedules all CPUs by
* dispatching from the global queue to each CPU's local dsq from dispatch().
* This isn't the most straightforward. e.g. It'd be easier to bounce
* through per-CPU BPF queues. The current design is chosen to maximally
* utilize and verify various SCX mechanisms such as LOCAL_ON dispatching.
*
* b. Tickless operation
*
* All tasks are dispatched with the infinite slice which allows stopping the
* ticks on CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL kernels running with the proper nohz_full
* parameter. The tickless operation can be observed through
* /proc/interrupts.
*
* Periodic switching is enforced by a periodic timer checking all CPUs and
* preempting them as necessary. Unfortunately, BPF timer currently doesn't
* have a way to pin to a specific CPU, so the periodic timer isn't pinned to
* the central CPU.
*
* c. Preemption
*
* Kthreads are unconditionally queued to the head of a matching local dsq
* and dispatched with SCX_DSQ_PREEMPT. This ensures that a kthread is always
* prioritized over user threads, which is required for ensuring forward
* progress as e.g. the periodic timer may run on a ksoftirqd and if the
* ksoftirqd gets starved by a user thread, there may not be anything else to
* vacate that user thread.
*
* SCX_KICK_PREEMPT is used to trigger scheduling and CPUs to move to the
* next tasks.
*
* This scheduler is designed to maximize usage of various SCX mechanisms. A
* more practical implementation would likely put the scheduling loop outside
* the central CPU's dispatch() path and add some form of priority mechanism.
