Thanks for your patch.

The two syscall "__NR_sched_setattr" and "__NR_sched_getattr" has been defined
for most architectures since kernel 3.14 but schedtool redefine them for x86_64,
i386 and arm even if they are already available in linux/unistd.h...
(see syscall_magic.h)

So schedtool should depend on BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HEADERS_AT_LEAST_3_14 except for
microblaze (BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HEADERS_AT_LEAST_3_15), aarch64
(BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HEADERS_AT_LEAST_3_17) and blackfin
(BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HEADERS_AT_LEAST_4_1) otherwise it will break.

Obviously, it needs a kernel that implement these syscall.

Can you check if schedtool can really be used on these architectures.

Best regards,
Romain Naour
