If we have multiple contexts of equal priority pending execution, activate a timer to demote the currently executing context in favour of the next in the queue when that timeslice expires. This enforces fairness between contexts (so long as they allow preemption -- forced preemption, in the future, will kick those who do not obey) and allows us to avoid userspace blocking forward progress with e.g. unbounded MI_SEMAPHORE_WAIT. For the starting point here, we use the jiffie as our timeslice so that we should be reasonably efficient wrt frequent CPU wakeups.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
