- Update scx_utils/build.rs so that 12 char SHA1 is generated instead of
full one.
- Add --version to scx_rusty. Use custom one as we don't want to use the
default cargo version one.
Tasks enqueued with SCX_ENQ_WAKEUP are immediately classified as
interactive. However, if interactive tasks classification is disabled
(via `-c 0`), we should avoid promoting them as interactive.
This is particularly important because, with the nvcsw logic disabled,
tasks can remain classified as interactive indefinitely and they will
never be demoted to regular tasks.

Rely on scx_utils::Cpumask instead of re-implementing a custom struct to

Fix a bug introduced in #510 where it assumed core ids are incremental.
This refactors the core ordering for layers to be far more simple and
provide some space for layer core isolation in low utilization.

Currently the core selection logic in scx_layered uses the first
available core in the bitmask. This is suboptimal when the scheduler is
configured with specific NUMA/LLC restrictions. The ideal core selection
logic should try to find the least used cores within the preferred
scheduling domain and allocate new cpus from shared cores within that
domain.

- If --monitor is specified with layer specs, the scheduler also starts
stats monitoring on a thread.
- Standalone monitoring mode no longer exits when the scheduler isn't there.
Instead of keeping one copy of sched_stats, each stats server session
carries their own so that stats can be generated independently by each
client at any interval. CPU allocation min/max tracking is broken for now.
The primary scheduling domain represents a group of CPUs in the system
where the scheduler will initially attempt to assign tasks. Tasks will
only be dispatched to CPUs within this primary domain until they are
fully utilized, after which tasks may overflow to other available CPUs.
The primary scheduling domain can defined using the option
`--primary-domain CPUMASK` (by default all the CPUs in the system are
used as primary domain).
This change introduces two new special values for the CPUMASK argument:
- `performance`: automatically detect the fastest CPUs in the system
and use them as primary scheduling domain,
- `powersave`: automatically detect the slowest CPUs in the system and
use them as primary scheduling domain.
The current logic only supports creating two groups: fast and slow CPUs.
The fast CPU group is created by excluding CPUs with the lowest
frequency from the overall set, which means that within the fast CPU
group, CPUs may have different maximum frequencies.
When using the `performance` mode the fast CPUs will be used as primary
domain, whereas in `powersave` mode, the slow CPUs will be used instead.
This option is particularly useful in hybrid architectures (with P-cores
and E-cores), as it allows the use of bpfland to prioritize task
scheduling on either P-cores or E-cores, depending on the desired
performance profile.
Example:
- Dell Precision 5480
- CPU: 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-13800H
- P-cores: 0-11 / max freq: 5.2GHz
- E-cores: 12-19 / max freq: 4.0GHz

While the system is not saturated the scheduler will use the following
strategy to select the next CPU for a task:
- pick the same CPU if it's a full-idle SMT core
- pick any full-idle SMT core in the primary scheduling group that
shares the same L2 cache
- pick any full-idle SMT core in the primary scheduling grouop that
shares the same L3 cache
- pick the same CPU (ignoring SMT)
- pick any idle CPU in the primary scheduling group that shares the
same L2 cache
- pick any idle CPU in the primary scheduling group that shares the
same L3 cache
- pick any idle CPU in the system
While the system is completely saturated (no idle CPUs available), tasks
will be dispatched on the first CPU that becomes available.

- Allow no-value user attributes which are automatically assigned "true"
when specified.
- Make "top" attribute string "true" instead of bool true for consistency.
Testing for existence is always enough for value-less attributes.
- Don't drop leading "_" from user attribute names when storing in dicts.
Dropping makes things more confusing.
- Add "_om_skip" to scx_layered fields which don't jive well with OM.
scxstats_to_openmetrics.py is updated accordignly and no longer generates
warnings on those fields.
- Examples and README updated accordingly.
