From: David Vernet <dvernet@xxxxxxxx>
This patch adds a new scx_example_userland BPF scheduler that implements a
fairly unsophisticated sorted-list vruntime scheduler in userland to
demonstrate how most scheduling decisions can be delegated to userland. The
scheduler doesn't implement load balancing, and treats all tasks as part of
a single domain.
v2: * Converted to BPF inline iterators.

+ * A minimal userland scheduler.

+ * In terms of scheduling, this provides two different types of behaviors:
+ * 1. A global FIFO scheduling order for _any_ tasks that have CPU affinity.
+ * All such tasks are direct-dispatched from the kernel, and are never
+ * enqueued in user space.
+ * 2. A primitive vruntime scheduler that is implemented in user space, for all
+ * other tasks.
+ *
+ * Some parts of this example user space scheduler could be implemented more

+ * BPF_MAP_TYPE_{USER_}RINGBUF's could be used for exchanging messages between
+ * user space and kernel space. Similarly, we use a simple vruntime-sorted list
+ * in user space, but an rbtree could be used instead.
