As discussed during the distro-centric session within the sched_ext Microconference at LPC 2024, introduce a sequence counter that is incremented every time a BPF scheduler is loaded. This feature can help distributions in diagnosing potential performance regressions by identifying systems where users are running (or have ran) custom BPF schedulers. Example: arighi@virtme-ng~> cat /sys/kernel/sched_ext/enable_seq 0 arighi@virtme-ng~> sudo scx_simple local=1 global=0 ^CEXIT: unregistered from user space arighi@virtme-ng~> cat /sys/kernel/sched_ext/enable_seq 1 In this way user-space tools (such as Ubuntu's apport and similar) are able to gather and include this information in bug reports.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
