* Fix several klmirqd bugs.Glenn Elliott2012-12-13
| | | | | | | | | | 1) Deadlock in litmus_task_exit()-- added litmus_pre_task_exit() to be called without the Linux runqueue lock held. 2) Prioritization of base-prio klmirqd/aux threads vs. normal real-time tasks. 3) Initialization of gpu owner binheap node moved to *after* memset(0) of rt_params. 4) Exit path of klmirqd threads.

* Fixed three bugs with aux threads and nested locksGlenn Elliott2012-09-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fixes two bugs with nested locks: 1) List of aux threads could become corrupted. -- moved modifications to be within scheduler lock. 2) Fixed bad EDF comparison ordering that could lead to schedule thrashing in an infinite loop. 3) Prevent aux threads from inheriting a priority from a task that is blocked on a real-time litmus lock. (since the aux threads can't possibly hold these locks, we don't have to worry about inheritance.)
* Added CONFIG_REALTIME_AUX_TASKS optionGlenn Elliott2012-09-16
| | | | | | Auxillary task features were enabled by CONFIG_LITMUS_LOCKING. Made auxillary tasks a seperate feature that depends upon CONFIG_LITMUS_LOCKING.

| | |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Instead of tie-breaking by PID (which is a static priority tie-break), we can tie-break by other job-level-unique parameters. This is desirable because tasks are equaly affected by tardiness since static priority tie-breaks cause tasks with greater PID values to experience the most tardiness. There are four tie-break methods: 1) Lateness. If two jobs, J_{1,i} and J_{2,j} of tasks T_1 and T_2, respectively, have equal deadlines, we favor the job of the task that had the worst lateness for jobs J_{1,i-1} and J_{2,j-1}. Note: Unlike tardiness, lateness may be less than zero. This occurs when a job finishes before its deadline. 2) Normalized Lateness. The same as #1, except lateness is first normalized by each task's relative deadline. This prevents tasks with short relative deadlines and small execution requirements from always losing tie-breaks. 3) Hash. The job tuple (PID, Job#) is used to generate a hash. Hash values are then compared. A job has ~50% chance of winning a tie-break with respect to another job. Note: Emperical testing shows that some jobs can have +/- ~1.5% advantage in tie-breaks. Linux's built-in hash function is not totally a uniform hash. 4) PIDs. PID-based tie-break used in prior versions of Litmus. Conflicts: litmus/edf_common.c

* | New Feature: Arbitrary deadlines.2012.2Glenn Elliott2012-08-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Added support for arbitrary deadlines. Constraint: Relative deadline must be >= exec cost. Use: Set relative deadline in rt_task::rdeadline. Set value to 0 to default to implicit deadlines. Limitations: PFAIR not supported by this patch. PFAIR updated to reject tasks that do not have implicit deadlines.

* | GSN-EDF: do not requeue jobs without budgetBjoern Brandenburg2012-05-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch changes how preemptions of jobs without budget work. Instead of requeuing them, they are now only added if they are not subject to budget enforcement or if they have non-zero budget. This allows us to process job completions that race with preemptions. This appears to fix a BUG in budget.c:65 reported by Giovani Gracioli.
* | Move budget-related helpers to budget.hBjoern Brandenburg2012-05-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | litmus.h is accumulating too many things. Since we already have budget.h, let's stick all budget-related inline functions there as well. This patch is merely cosmetic; it does not change how budget enforcement works.
* | An efficient binary heap implementation.wip-stage-binheapGlenn Elliott2012-05-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | An efficient binary heap implementation coded in the style of Linux's list. This binary heap should be able to replace any partially sorted priority queue based upon Linux's list.
* | Add kernel-style events for sched_trace_XXX() functionsAndrea Bastoni2012-03-30
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Enable kernel-style events (tracepoint) for Litmus. Litmus events trace the same functions as the sched_trace_XXX(), but can be enabled independently. So, why another tracing infrastructure then: - Litmus tracepoints can be recorded and analyzed together (single time reference) with all other kernel tracing events (e.g., sched:sched_switch, etc.). It's easier to correlate the effects of kernel events on litmus tasks. - It enables a quick way to visualize and process schedule traces using trace-cmd utility and kernelshark visualizer. Kernelshark lacks unit-trace's schedule-correctness checks, but it enables a fast view of schedule traces and it has several filtering options (for all kernel events, not only Litmus').

* Feather-Trace: keep track of interrupt-related interference.2012.1Bjoern B. Brandenburg2012-01-30
| | | | | | | Increment a processor-local counter whenever an interrupt is handled. This allows Feather-Trace to include a (truncated) counter and a flag to report interference from interrupts. This could be used to filter samples that were disturbed by interrupts.
* Litmus core: simplify np-section protocolwip-2011.2-bbbBjoern B. Brandenburg2011-11-24

* Add option to turn off preemption state tracingBjoern B. Brandenburg2011-11-24
| | | | | | Preemption state tracing is only useful when debugging preemption- and IPI-related races. Since it creates a lot of clutter in the logs, this patch turns it off unless explicitly requested.
* C-EDF: Make migration affinity work with Release MasterGlenn Elliott2011-08-27
| | | | | | | | | | Needed to update C-EDF to handle release master. Also updated get_nearest_available_cpu() to take NO_CPU instead of -1 to indicate that there is no release master. While NO_CPU is 0xffffffff (-1 in two's complement), we still translate this value to -1 in case NO_CPU changes. Signed-off-by: Andrea Bastoni <bastoni@cs.unc.edu>
* COMMENT: Correct comment on precise budget enforcementGlenn Elliott2011-08-27
| | | | | Original comment said that this feature wasn't supported, though it has been since around October 2010.
* Avoid needlessly costly migrations. CONFIG_SCHED_CPU_AFFINITYGlenn Elliott2011-08-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Given a choice between several available CPUs (unlinked) on which to schedule a task, let the scheduler select the CPU closest to where that task was previously scheduled. Hopefully, this will reduce cache migration penalties. Notes: SCHED_CPU_AFFINITY is dependent upon x86 (only x86 is supported at this time). Also PFair/PD^2 does not make use of this feature.

* Improve FMLP queue management.wip-fmlp-dequeueGlenn Elliott2011-03-31
| | | | | | | | | | The next owner of a FMLP-protected resource is dequeued from the FMLP FIFO queue by unlock() (when the resource is freed by the previous owner) instead of performing the dequeue by the next owner immediately after it has been woken up. This simplifies the code a little bit and also reduces potential spinlock contention.
* Litmus core: add generic clustering supportBjoern B. Brandenburg2011-02-01
| | | | | Inspired by the existing C-EDF code, this generic version will build clusters of CPUs based on a given cache level.
* Litmus core: extract userspace interface from C-EDFBjoern B. Brandenburg2011-02-01
| | | | | Make the cluster size configuration in C-EDF generic so that it can be used by other clustered schedulers.
* Feather-Trace: rename locking trace pointsBjoern B. Brandenburg2011-02-01
| | | | | Since we don't expect to trace more than one lock type at a time, having protocol-specific trace points is not required.
* fdso: pass userpsace config argument to object constructorBjoern B. Brandenburg2011-02-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | As Glenn pointed out, it is useful for some protocols (e.g., k-exclusion protocols) to know the userspace configuration at object creation time. This patch changes the fdso API to pass the parameter to the object constructor, which is then in turn passed to the lock allocater. The return code from the lock allocater is passed to userspace in return. This also fixes some null pointer dereferences in the FDSO code found by the test suite in liblitmus.
* PSN-EDF: re-implement FMLP supportBjoern B. Brandenburg2011-02-01
| | | | | Implement the partitioned FMLP with priority boosting based on the generic lock API.
