All,
There's an interesting dive into PID 0 linked to from osnews:
https://blog.dave.tf/post/linux-pid0/
In the article, the author delves into the history of the scheduler a
bit - going back to Unix v4 (his assembly language skills don't go to
PDP variants).
I like the article for two reasons - 1) it's clarity 2) it points out
the self-reinforcing nature of our search ecosystem.
I'm left with the question - how did scheduling work in v0-v4? and the
observation that search really sucks these days.
Later,
Will
