Description

Ghost is a kernel scheduling class that allows userspace and eBPF programs, called the "agent", to control the scheduler.

Following up on last year's LPC talk, I'll cover:
- How BPF works in Ghost
- An agent that runs completely in BPF: no userspace scheduling required!
- Implementation details of "Biff": a bpf-hello-world example scheduler.
- Future work, including CFS-in-BPF, as well as a request for new MAP_TYPEs!
