UML, like any other port, uses the schedule() in kernel/sched.c. The
UML-specific context switching indirectly uses the host's scheduler
when it switches from one host process to another. TT mode has the
outgoing process sleeping in a read() on a pipe after waking up the
incoming process from its read by writing a byte down its pipe.
But the host makes no scheduling decisions between UML processes - the
UML scheduler makes the decisions and the host scheduler just decides
when the process chosen by the UML scheduler actually gets some CPU
time.
