    sched_ext: Provide a sysfs enable_seq counter · 431844b6
    Andrea Righi authored
    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.
