This update fixes a parser bug where stalld parses the output of /proc/sched_debug, which allowed the parser to pick up stale information and confuse the boosting algorithm. Tends to show up on the highest cpu of a system, especially when that cpu core has a lot of thread activity. Unfortunately, there is not a bugzilla associated with this bug.
This is also the first implementation of an alternate boosting mechanism, using SCHED_FIFO rather than SCHED_DEADLINE. This should only be used on older kernels that do not implement SCHED_DEADLINE (so not relevant on Fedora 31+) but may be of interest to folks running on older kernels.
Updates may require up to 24 hours to propagate to mirrors. If the following command doesn't work, please retry later:
