Yop,
Just a newbie question ...
Why sys_sched_yield don't call schedule ?
man page of sched_yield tell :
"A process can relinquish the processor voluntarily
without blocking by calling sched_yield.
The process will then be moved to the end
of the queue for its static priority and
a new process gets to run."
Bye.

It sets, under certain conditions ( nr_running ), the variable need_resched
and, in the system call return code this value is checked and schedule() is
called.
Look at sched.c and entry.S.
