5//! Round Robin Scheduler for Tock
6//!
7//! This scheduler is specifically a Round Robin Scheduler with Interrupts.
8//!
9//! See: <https://www.eecs.umich.edu/courses/eecs461/lecture/SWArchitecture.pdf>
10//! for details.
11//!
12//! When hardware interrupts occur while a userspace process is executing, this
13//! scheduler executes the top half of the interrupt, and then stops executing
14//! the userspace process immediately and handles the bottom half of the
15//! interrupt. This design decision was made to mimic the behavior of the
16//! original Tock scheduler. In order to ensure fair use of timeslices, when
17//! userspace processes are interrupted the scheduler timer is paused, and the
18//! same process is resumed with the same scheduler timer value from when it was
19//! interrupted.
