2024-09-23sched_ext: Provide a sysfs enable_seq counterAndrea Righi1-0/+10
As discussed during the distro-centric session within the sched_ext Microconference at LPC 2024, introduce a sequence counter that is incremented every time a BPF scheduler is loaded. This feature can help distributions in diagnosing potential performance regressions by identifying systems where users are running (or have ran) custom BPF schedulers. Example: arighi@virtme-ng~> cat /sys/kernel/sched_ext/enable_seq 0 arighi@virtme-ng~> sudo scx_simple local=1 global=0 ^CEXIT: unregistered from user space arighi@virtme-ng~> cat /sys/kernel/sched_ext/enable_seq 1 In this way user-space tools (such as Ubuntu's apport and similar) are able to gather and include this information in bug reports.
