I am learning to work with Linux kernel. Currently I am using 4.15.0-36-generic.



I understood that the schedulers after version 2.6 use a completely fair scheduler. I also came to know that, the implementation uses virtual runtime(v_runtime) for priority updation of a process.



Theoretically, after the the process has a virtual runtime of t, the update is done as



v_runtime += t * (w).



This weight w is said to be a function of the NICE value of the process. It is here, that I want to add one more parameter. I want this w to be a function of NICE value, and another parameter for a given process. The rest of the scheduling algorithm can remain same for the moment.



I cloned the Linux code, and checked out the scheduler code and documentation. I could not locate the point where I could make the change.

  • @ctrl-alt-delor It could be a value depending on the type of program

  • Yes what else could it be?: A parameter has a value, and program ≈ process. More insight may help us to find another solution.

Displaying single band from multi-band raster using QGIS

How many registers does an x86_64 CPU actually have?

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite I am currently learning reverse engineering and am studying the flags register. I had in my mind that rflags was just another name for one of the 16 general purpose registers, for example rax or rbx . But it looks like rflags is actually an additional register. So that makes 17 registers in total... how many more could there be? I have spent at least an hour on this and found numerous different answers. The best answer so far is this, which says that there are 40 registers in total. 16 General Purpose Registers 2 Status Registers 6 Code Segment Registers 16 SSE Registers 8 FPU/MMX Registers But if I add that up, I get 48. Could anybody provide an official answer on how many registers an x86_64 CPU has (e.g. an Intel i7). Additionally, I have seen references to 'hardware' and 'architectural' registers. What are those registers and how many are there? register x86-64 share | improve this...
