The Linux kernel will feature the ability to use eBPF for creating task schedulers
Linus Torvalds expressed his readiness to accept patches implementing the "sched_ext" (SCX) mechanism, which allows the use of eBPF for creating CPU schedulers that cover almost all aspects of task execution planning and CPU resource distribution, into the Linux kernel 6.11, which is expected to be released at the end of September.
