# Backports of scx to older kernels | ||
|
||
***Work In Progress*** | ||
|
||
The goal of this repo is to enable sched-ext binaries to build | ||
on kernels with older versions of the sched-ext source tree. | ||
|
||
## Dependencies | ||
* Docker | ||
|
||
## How to use this repo | ||
|
||
### Setting up a backport | ||
|
||
1) Create a branch named `$SHORT_SHA-vmlinux` , where `$SHORT_SHA` is the first 7 characters of the commit hash in the scx kernel tree you are targeting. In this branch, in `.github/workflows/caching-build.yml`, replace KERNEL_COMMIT_SHA7_HERE with the 7 character commit hash of the kernel commit you will be packporting to. | ||
|
||
2) Run `backport-scripts/generate-backport-vmlinux.sh` passing it `$SHORT_SHA` (such as `af1234`) and branch name, in that order. Optionally, pass a third arg, the git repo to obtain that commit and branch from, if neccessary. | ||
|
||
3) Update the symlink `scheds/include/vmlinux/vmlinux.h` to point to your new vmlinux.h. | ||
|
||
4) Commit and push your branch. | ||
|
||
5) Open a new branch (i.e. `af1234-${SCX_RELEASE}-fixes`) off of your initial branch (i.e. `af1234`) | ||
and edit files other than `vmlinux.h` until first `cargo test` (ran in this repo's root) passes and then CI passes. Edit `.github/workflows/caching-build.yml` as is neccessary to reducing the schedulers built/tested (not everything can be reasonably backported). | ||
|
||
6) Push this branch as you get things working, push it as `af1234-${SCX_RELEASE}-backport` once CI passes. | ||
|
||
7) Add a CI badge on this page on the setup-repo branch for the CI job for that new branch. | ||
|
||
### Updating a backport | ||
|
||
1) Create a new `-fixes` branch from either a `-vmlinux`, `-fixes` branch or a `-backport` branch (whichever is closest to what you want). | ||
2) Continue the instructions above from (4). | ||
|
||
### Updating this doc and the setup scripts. | ||
|
||
Please make any updates to this document and the setup scripts on the branch `setup-repo`. This will be rebased atop `main` when merging in updates. | ||
|
||
*`main` will be updated periodically (roughly coinciding with releases of scx), backports will be updated/created on an as-needed basis.* | ||
*`main` will be overwritten with commits from upstream during syncs. setup-repo will be rebased upon main and pushed to main before rebasing other branches, so put things to persist across this process on setup-repo.` | ||
