This patch adds the core of LITMUS^RT:
- library functionality (heaps, rt_domain, prioritization, etc.)
- budget enforcement logic
- job management
- system call backends
- virtual devices (control page, etc.)
- scheduler plugin API (and dummy plugin)
This code compiles, but is not yet integrated with the rest of Linux.
Squashed changes:
LITMUS^RT Core: add get_current_budget() system call
Allow userspace to figure out the used-up and remaining budget
of a task.
Adds deadline field to control page and updates it when setting up jobs for release.
Adds control page deadline offset
ftdev: respect O_NONBLOCK flag in ftdev_read()
Don't block if userspace wants to go on doing something else.
Export job release time and job sequence number in ctrl page
Add alternate complete_job() default implementation
Let jobs sleep like regular Linux tasks by suspending and waking them
with a one-shot timer. Plugins can opt into using this implementation
instead of the classic complete_job() implementation (or custom
implementations).
Fix RCU locking in sys_get_rt_task_param()
sys_get_rt_task_param() is rarely used and apparently attracted some
bitrot.
Free before setting NULL to prevent memory leak
Add hrtimer_start_on() support
This patch replaces the previous implementation of hrtimer_start_on() by
now using smp_call_function_single_async() to arm hrtimers on remote
CPUs.
Expose LITMUS^RT system calls via control page ioctl()
Rationale: make LITMUS^RT ops available in a way that does not create
merge conflicts each time we rebase LITMUS^RT on top of a new kernel
version. This also helps with portability to different architectures,
as we no longer need to patch each architecture's syscall table.
Pick non-zero syscall ID start range
To avoid interfering with Linux's magic reserved IOCTL numbers
Don't preempt before time check in sleep_until_next_release()
Avoid preempting jobs that are about to go to sleep soon anyway.
LITMUS^RT proc: fix wrong memset()
TRACE(): add TRACE_WARN_ON() helper
Useful to replace BUG_ON() and WARN_ON() with a non-fatal
TRACE()-based equivalent.
Add void* plugin_state pointer to task_struct
LITMUS^RT: split task admission into two functions
Plugin interface: add fork_task() callback
LITMUS^RT: Enable plugins to permit RT tasks to fork
one-shot complete_job(): set completed flag
This could race with a SIGSTOP or some other forced suspension, but
we'll let plugins handle this, should they actually care.
FP: add list-based ready queue
LITMUS^RT core: add should_wait_for_stack() callback
Allow plugins to give up when waiting for a stack to become available.
LITMUS^RT core: add next_became_invalid() callback
LITMUS^RT core: add post-migration validation callback
LITMUS^RT core: be more careful when pull-migrating tasks
Close more race windows and give plugins a chance to validate
tasks after they have been migrated.
Add KConfig options for timer latency warnings
Add reservation creation API to plugin interface & syscalls
LITMUS^RT syscall: expose sys_reservation_create() via ioctl()
Add reservation configuration types to rt_param.h
Add basic generic reservation-based scheduling infrastructure
Switch to aligned quanta by default.
For first-time users, aligned quanta is likely what's expected.
LITMUS^RT core: keep track of time of last suspension
This information is needed to insert ST_COMPLETION records for
sporadic tasks.
add fields for clock_nanosleep() support
Need to communicate the intended wake-up time to the plugin wake-up handler.
LITMUS^RT core: add generic handler for sporadic job arrivals
In particular, check if a job arrival is triggered from a
clock_nanosleep() call.
add litmus->task_change_params() callback to plugin interface
Will be used by adaptive C-EDF.
Call litmus->task_change_params() from sys_set_rt_task_param()
Move trace point definition to litmus/litmus.c
If !CONFIG_SCHED_TASK_TRACE, but CONFIG_SCHED_LITMUS_TRACEPOINT, then
we still need to define the tracepoint structures.
This patch should be integrated with the earlier sched_task_trace.c
patches during one of the next major rebasing efforts.
LITMUS^RT scheduling class: mark enqueued task as present
Remove unistd_*.h
rebase fix: update to new hrtimer API
The new API is actually nicer and cleaner.
rebase fix: call lockdep_unpin_lock(&rq->lock, cookie)
The LITMUS^RT scheduling class should also do the LOCKDEP dance.
LITMUS^RT core: break out non-preemptive flag defs
Not every file including litmus.h needs to know this.
LITMUS^RT core: don't include debug_trace.h in litmus.h
Including debug_trace.h introduces the TRACE() macro, which causes
symbol clashes in some (rather obscure) drivers.
LITMUS^RT core: add litmus_preemption_in_progress flags
Used to communicate that a preemption is in progress. Set by the
scheduler; read by the plugins.
LITMUS^RT core: revise is_current_running() macro
