* Add sched_trace data for Apative EDZLwip-aedzl-revisedGlenn Elliott2010-11-29
| | | | | Added new trace event, st_task_completion_adaptive, to trace estimated execution time and estimation error when an AEDZL task completes.
* Per-task feedback control.Glenn Elliott2010-11-26
| | | | | | | Allow tasks to specify unique feedback control parameters. If no parameters are specified (LITMUS_FP_ZERO), then default parameters of a = .102 and b = .303 are used, a critically- damped feedback control system.
* Implementation of Adaptive-EDZLGlenn Elliott2010-11-26
| | | | | | This patch introduces the Adaptive-EDZL (AEDZL) scheduler. AEDZL uses feedback-control to estimate job execution time. This improves the detection of zero-laxity points if WCETs are not tight.
* Implementation of EDZLGlenn Elliott2010-11-26
| | | | | | This patch implements the global EDZL scheduler. It is based heavily on the GSN-EDF implementation. Timers are used to detect zero-laxity points and issue the proper rescheduling operations.
* Litmus core: add plugin-independent precise budget enforcement infrastructureBjoern B. Brandenburg2010-10-19
| | | | | | | Simple logic: if a task requires precise enforcement, then program a hr-timer to fire when the task must be descheduled. When the timer fires, simply activate the scheduler. When we switch to a different task, either reprogram the timer or cancel it.
* Litmus core: add macro to test for PRECISE_ENFORCEMENTBjoern B. Brandenburg2010-10-19
| | | | | | Required for EDF-WM. We should implement precise enforcement in the core distribution soon anyway (once we know how it works in EDF-WM).
* Litmus core: add budget_remaining() helperBjoern B. Brandenburg2010-10-19
| | | | Quick way to figure out how much budget a LITMUS^RT job has left.
* rt_domain_t: add add_release_on()Bjoern B. Brandenburg2010-10-18
| | | | | | | | This API addition allows the calling code to override the release master for a given rt_domain_t object. This is particularly useful if a job is supposed to migrate to a particular CPU. This need arises for example in semi- partitioned schedulers.
* Make platform-specific Feather-Trace depend on !CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATABjoern B. Brandenburg2010-06-01
| | | | | | | | | | | Feather-Trace rewrites instructions in the kernel's .text segment. This segment may be write-protected if CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA is selected. In this case, fall back to the default flag-based Feather-Trace implementation. In the future, we could either adopt the ftrace method of rewriting .text addresses using non-.text mappings or we could consider replacing Feather-Trace with ftrace altogether. For now, this patch avoids unexpected runtime errors.
* Make release master support optionalBjoern B. Brandenburg2010-06-01
| | | | | | | | Introduces CONFIG_RELEASE_MASTER and makes release master support dependent on the new symbol. This is useful because dedicated interrupt handling only applies to "large" multicore platforms. This will allow us to not implement smp_send_pull_timers() for all platforms.
* Make __ARCH_HAS_FEATHER_TRACE a proper CONFIG_ variable.Bjoern B. Brandenburg2010-05-30
| | | | | | | | | The idea of the Feather-Trace default implementation is that LITMUS^RT should work without a specialized Feather-Trace implementation present. This was actually broken. Changes litmus/feather_trace.h to only include asm/feather_trace.h if actually promised by the architecture.
* Added support for choices in budget policy enforcement.Glenn Elliott2010-05-30
| | | | | | | | | | NO_ENFORCEMENT - A job may execute beyond its declared execution time. Jobs notify the kernel that they are complete via liblitmus's sleep_next_period() QUANTUM_ENFORCEMENT - The kernel terminates a job if its actual execution time exceeds the declared execution time. PRECISE_ENFORCEMENT - Hook declared, but not yet implemented. Plan to support this policy through hrtimers. Error thrown if specified.
* Change most LitmusRT spinlock_t in raw_spinlock_tAndrea Bastoni2010-05-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Adapt to new schema for spinlock: (tglx 20091217) spinlock - the weakest one, which might sleep in RT raw_spinlock - spinlock which always spins even on RT arch_spinlock - the hardware level architecture dependent implementation ---- Most probably, all the spinlocks changed by this commit will be true spinning lock (raw_spinlock) in PreemptRT (so hopefully we'll need few changes when porting Litmmus to PreemptRT). There are a couple of spinlock that the kernel still defines as spinlock_t (therefore no changes reported in this commit) that might cause us troubles: - wait_queue_t lock is defined as spinlock_t; it is used in: * fmlp.c -- sem->wait.lock * sync.c -- ts_release.wait.lock - rwlock_t used in fifo implementation in sched_trace.c * this need probably to be changed to something always spinning in RT at the expense of increased locking time. ---- This commit also fixes warnings and errors due to the need to include slab.h when using kmalloc() and friends. ---- This commit does not compile.
* Add C-EDF Plugin2010.1Andrea Bastoni2010-05-29
| | | | | | Improved C-EDF plugin. C-EDF now supports different cluster sizes (based on L2 and L3 cache sharing) and supports dynamic changes of cluster size (this requires reloading the plugin).
* Bugfix: 1) incorrect FMLP high prio task tracking and 2) race in print statementGlenn Elliott2010-05-29
| | | | | | | | 1) High priority task tied to FMLP semaphore in P-EDF scheduling is incorrectly tracked for tasks acquiring the lock without contention. (HP is always set to CPU 0 instead of proper CPU.) 2) Race in a print statement from P-EDF's pi_block() causes NULL pointer dereference.
* Introduce generic NP-section aware preemption functionBjoern B. Brandenburg2010-05-29
| | | | | | | | Dealing with preemptions across CPUs in the presence of non-preemptive sections can be tricky and should not be replicated across (event-driven) plugins. This patch introduces a generic preemption function that handles non-preemptive sections (hopefully) correctly.
* Re-implement non-preemptive section support.Bjoern B. Brandenburg2010-05-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | Re-introduce NP sections in the configuration and in litmus.h. Remove the old np_flag from rt_param. If CONFIG_NP_SECTION is disabled, then all non-preemptive section checks are constant expressions which should get removed by the dead code elimination during optimization. Instead of re-implementing sys_exit_np(), we simply repurposed sched_yield() for calling into the scheduler to trigger delayed preemptions.
* Add virtual LITMUS^RT control device.Bjoern B. Brandenburg2010-05-29
| | | | | | | | | This device only supports mmap()'ing a single page. This page is shared RW between the kernel and userspace. It is inteded to allow near-zero-overhead communication between the kernel and userspace. It's first use will be a proper implementation of user-signaled non-preemptable section support.
