There is a comment from Thijs that kernel docs does not use hyphen, it means "core scheduling" rather than "core-scheduling". Maybe it would be better to follow kernel.
When speaking of the scheduling itself, it is indeed "core scheduling", but when using this compound word as an adjective, then it is much clearer to hyphenate it, to avoid the impression that it is talking about a _core_, deep, central scheduling cookie.

In that first paragraph, I would write "Core-scheduling support...". https://www.grammarly.com/blog/punctuation-capitalization/hyphen-with-compound-modifiers/ Benno
