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.
