Hi Billie, Thanks for getting back to me! Many sources mentioned the same thing, but where do I find the code that supports this?
I followed the comment here: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/c527f5606aa545233a4d2c6d5c636ed82b8633ef/kernel/sched/core.c#L6536C10-L6536C10 to check all the following files: arch/x86/entry/entry_32.S arch/x86/entry/entry_64_compat.S arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S arch/x86/entry/entry.S But I don't see any code that is calling the schedule or __schedule function.
