Worked on enhancing observability within the sched-ext/scx repository by enabling the kernel FUNCTION_TRACER earlier in the LAVD workflow. This update involved modifying kernel configuration files to support earlier activation of tracing, specifically targeting improved monitoring of futex calls and progress tracking. The approach focused on kernel configuration management and tracing instrumentation, using Shell scripting to implement and validate the changes. By laying the groundwork for more robust tracing and diagnostics, the work prepared the codebase for future performance monitoring enhancements. No major bugs were reported during this period, reflecting a focused effort on feature development and release-ready configuration updates.
