Subject: [PATCH v4 5/5] sched/debug: Introduce per-CPU debugfs files
Date: Sun,  9 Aug 2026 21:58:12 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260810015812.428999-6-atomlin@atomlin.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260810015812.428999-1-atomlin@atomlin.com>

Currently, accessing scheduler debugging details for a specific CPU
requires reading /sys/kernel/debug/sched/debug, which outputs
information for all online CPUs. When investigating a latency anomaly or
scheduling issue isolated to a specific CPU, accessing
/sys/kernel/debug/sched/cpu/cpu<N>/debug provides an immediate, targeted
view of that runqueue.

Add support for per-CPU debug files under:
/sys/kernel/debug/sched/cpu/cpu<N>/debug. Reading
/sys/kernel/debug/sched/cpu/cpu<N>/debug calls print_cpu() specifically
for CPU <N>, exposing CPU-specific runqueue details on demand. If the
target CPU is currently offline, reading its file returns -ENODEV.
