[PATCH 5/5] sched_ext: Make scx_has_op a bitmap
From: Tejun Heo
Date: Tue Apr 08 2025 - 19:07:11 EST
scx_has_op is used to encode which ops are implemented by the BPF scheduler
into an array of static_keys. While this saves a bit of branching overhead,
that is unlikely to be noticeable compared to the overall cost. As the
global static_keys can't work with the planned hierarchical multiple
scheduler support, replace the static_key array with a bitmap.
In repeated hackbench runs before and after static_keys removal on an AMD
Ryzen 3900X, I couldn't tell any measurable performance difference.
