Andrea Righi 0d1c6555a4 scx_rustland_core: generate source files in-tree
There is no need to generate source code in a temporary directory with
RustLandBuilder(), we can simply generate code in-tree and exclude the
generated source files from .gitignore.

Having the generated source files in-tree can help to debug potential
build issues (and it also allows to drop the the tempfile crate
dependency).

scx_rlfifo

This is a single user-defined scheduler used within sched_ext, which is a Linux kernel feature which enables implementing kernel thread schedulers in BPF and dynamically loading them. Read more about sched_ext.

Overview

scx_rlfifo is a simple FIFO scheduler runs in user-space, based on the scx_rustland_core framework.

Typical Use Case

This scheduler is provided as a simple template that can be used as a baseline to test more complex scheduling policies.

Production Ready?

Definitely not. Using this scheduler in a production environment is not recommended, unless there are specific requirements that necessitate a basic FIFO scheduling approach. Even then, it's still recommended to use the kernel's SCHED_FIFO real-time class.
