sys_rseq_slice_yield(9)

💅 sys_rseq_slice_yield(9) 💅

okay bestie, this is the sys_rseq_slice_yield(9) page from the Kernel API Manual, and it’s giving “yield the CPU politely” energy. no cap, the facts below are exactly the facts. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

sys_rseq_slice_yield — yield the current processor side effect free if a task granted with a time slice extension is done with the critical work before being forced out. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

long sys_rseq_slice_yield (void );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• void — no arguments. literally none. not a single one. 💀

⭐ RETURN ⭐

• 1 — the task successfully yielded the CPU within the granted slice. slay. ✅
• 0 — the slice extension was either never granted, or it was revoked by:
  • going over the granted extension,
  • using a syscall other than this one,
  • or being scheduled out earlier due to a subsequent interrupt. 😭

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

this syscall does not schedule, because the syscall entry work immediately relinquishes the CPU and schedules if required. that’s the whole vibe: the entry work handles it, not the syscall itself. ✨
