Hi Ingo,
I made many progress. But I have two doubts yet. First: what does hrtick_start do? I think that: if I call hrtick_start(rq, 500) then, after 500ns, the task_tick function will be invocated. Is it right? Second: if my schedule_class decides to preempt the current task, it has to call resched_task(rq->curr). Is it right?
Thanks in advance. Kind Regards. Sebastiano.
