[PATCH sched_ext/for-7.2] sched_ext: Guard BPF arena helper calls to fix 32-bit build
From: Tejun Heo
Date: Sun May 31 2026 - 13:58:52 EST
BPF arena (kernel/bpf/arena.c) is compiled only on MMU && 64BIT, while
SCHED_CLASS_EXT depends on BPF_SYSCALL && BPF_JIT && DEBUG_INFO_BTF with no
64BIT requirement. On a 32-bit arch with a BPF JIT, SCX builds while the
arena helpers are absent, so the cid-form code's unconditional calls to
bpf_prog_arena() and bpf_arena_map_kern_vm_start() fail to link:
build_policy.o: undefined reference to `bpf_prog_arena'
build_policy.o: undefined reference to `bpf_arena_map_kern_vm_start'
Guard the three call sites with the same MMU && 64BIT condition that gates
arena.o. A cid-form scheduler needs a BPF arena, which isn't available on
such builds, so it can't run there regardless. cpu-form schedulers don't
touch the arena and are unaffected.
This is a quick workaround to get past the build errors. A fuller fix may
make the whole cid-form path conditional on the same condition, or drop
32-bit support outright.
