💖 TAPSET::SCHEDULER 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because we're looking at the tapset::scheduler page from the 3stap manual — it's literally the systemtap scheduler tapset and it's giving main character energy for your whole CPU. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

tapset::scheduler — the systemtap scheduler tapset, no cap 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so this is your whole lil roster of scheduler probe points, and every single one of them has a glow-up detail page waiting for you. here's the full lineup, don't skip anybody:

• scheduler.cpu_off — a process is about to stop running on a cpu. like, it's packing its bags. 💅

See probe::scheduler.cpu_off(3stap) for details.

• scheduler.cpu_on — a process is beginning execution on a cpu. it's on. 🔥

See probe::scheduler.cpu_on(3stap) for details.

• scheduler.tick — the scheduler's internal tick, where a process's timeslice accounting gets updated. clock's ticking bestie ⏰

See probe::scheduler.tick(3stap) for details.

• scheduler.balance — a cpu attempting to find more work. it's out here job hunting fr fr 🧚

See probe::scheduler.balance(3stap) for details.

• scheduler.ctxswitch — a context switch is occuring. (yes, spelled exactly like that, iconic typo behavior, we keep it) 😭

See probe::scheduler.ctxswitch(3stap) for details.

• scheduler.kthread_stop — a thread created by kthread_create is being stopped. bye kthread 🥺

See probe::scheduler.kthread_stop(3stap) for details.

• scheduler.kthread_stop.return — a kthread is stopped and gets the return value. it came back with receipts 📝

See probe::scheduler.kthread_stop.return(3stap) for details.

• scheduler.wait_task — waiting on a task to unschedule (become inactive). sit tight bestie 🎀

See probe::scheduler.wait_task(3stap) for details.

• scheduler.wakeup — task is woken up. rise and shine 💖

See probe::scheduler.wakeup(3stap) for details.

• scheduler.wakeup_new — a newly created task is woken up for the first time. baby's first wakeup 🍼✨

See probe::scheduler.wakeup_new(3stap) for details.

• scheduler.migrate — task migrating across cpus. moving out, moving on 🌈

See probe::scheduler.migrate(3stap) for details.

• scheduler.process_free — the scheduler freeing a data structure for a process. decluttering era 🧹

See probe::scheduler.process_free(3stap) for details.

• scheduler.process_exit — process exiting. door's that way 👋

See probe::scheduler.process_exit(3stap) for details.

• scheduler.process_wait — the scheduler starting to wait on a process. patience is a virtue 💜

See probe::scheduler.process_wait(3stap) for details.

• scheduler.process_fork — process forked. it's giving family tree 🌳

See probe::scheduler.process_fork(3stap) for details.

• scheduler.signal_send — sending a signal. 📡

See probe::scheduler.signal_send(3stap) for details.
