* Partial cyclic executive plugin.Christopher Kenna2011-09-05
| | | | | This is not tested and missing everything for /proc. I just am checking it in so that it the code is backed up in a git repository.
* Refactor the mixed-criticality (MC) plugin.Christopher Kenna2011-08-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add linux kernel configuration option CONFIG_LITMUS_MC. Attempt to restore rt_param.h to its original state as much as possible. Remove fields from rt_task and rt_job and move them into a new mc_data struct. Added mc_data field to rt_param compiled in only if using MC plugin. Make a new MC plugin specific header that contains a mc_data struct, which is a container for mc_task struct and a mc_job struct. Update sched_mc.c to use the new data structures. Also, add some macros that simplify the code, e.g., getting task criticality quickly. Add system call to set MC plugin specific stuff. Check for the change in liblitmus. Add a few lines to exit_litmus to reclaim the MC plugin mc_data struct in the task_struct on task exit.
* Litmus core: change plugin locking interface to generic 'allocate_lock()'Bjoern B. Brandenburg2011-02-01
| | | | | | | | | As the number of supported locking protocols is expected to rise, hard-coding things like priority inheritance in the plugin interface doesn't scale. Instead, use a new generic lock-ops approach. With this approach, each plugin can define its own protocol implementation (or use a generic one), and plugins can support multiple protocols without having to change the plugin interface for each protocol.
* add optional [function@file:line] tag to TRACE() logBjoern B. Brandenburg2010-11-22
| | | | | | | | | | | Add information to each trace message that makes it easier to locate where it came from. It is disabled by default since this adds a lot of clutter. Example: 81281 P1 [gsnedf_schedule@litmus/sched_gsn_edf.c:406]: (rtspin/1483:1) blocks:0 out_of_time:0 np:0 sleep:1 preempt:0 state:0 sig:0 81282 P1 [job_completion@litmus/sched_gsn_edf.c:303]: (rtspin/1483:1) job_completion(). 81283 P1 [__add_release@litmus/rt_domain.c:344]: (rtspin/1483:2) add_release(), rel=41941764351 81284 P1 [gsnedf_schedule@litmus/sched_gsn_edf.c:453]: (rtspin/1483:2) scheduled_on = NO_CPU
* Improve help message for TRACE() bufferBjoern B. Brandenburg2010-11-16
| | | | | It's not being allocated per cpu anymore. Further, provide a hint to the user where to find the data in userspace.
* Make TRACE() buffer size configurableBjoern B. Brandenburg2010-11-16
| | | | | | | | | | | Let the user choose an appropriate buffer size (instead of scaling with NR_CPUS). The kfifo api requires the buffer to be a power of two, so enforce this constraint in the configuration. This fixes a previously-existing compile-time error for values of NR_CPU that are not a power of two. Based on a patch by Mac Mollison <mollison@cs.unc.edu>.
* sched_trace: make buffer size configurableBjoern B. Brandenburg2010-11-11
| | | | | Large sched_trace buffers cause boot problems on the ARM box. Allow the user to specify smaller buffers.
* Bugfix: avoid link error in Feather-Trace on x86Bjoern B. Brandenburg2010-07-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If no events are defined but Feater-Trace support is enabled, then the current implementation generates a link error because the __event_table sections is absent. > arch/x86/built-in.o: In function `ft_disable_all_events': > (.text+0x242af): undefined reference to `__start___event_table' As a simple work around, we force zero-element array to always be "allocated" in the __event_table section. This ensures that we end up with a zero-byte section if no events are enabled, and does not affect the layout of the section if events are present. > bbb@ludwig:~/dev/litmus2010$ nm vmlinux | grep event_table > ffffffff81950cdc D __event_table_dummy > ffffffff81950cdc A __start___event_table > ffffffff81950cdc A __stop___event_table
* 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 PFAIR optional to prevent build and runtime failures.Bjoern B. Brandenburg2010-06-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The PFAIR plugin always implicitly assumed !NO_HZ (the schedule is wrong if NO_HZ is enabled) and does not built if hrtimers are absent: > litmus/built-in.o: In function `pfair_activate_plugin': > sched_pfair.c:(.text+0x7f07): undefined reference to `cpu_stagger_offset' > litmus/built-in.o: In function `init_pfair': > sched_pfair.c:(.init.text+0x487): undefined reference to `cpu_stagger_offset' cpu_stagger_offset() is only available if hrtimers are enabled. This patch makes these dependencies explicit.
* Make C-EDF depend on x86 and SYSFSAndrea Bastoni2010-06-01
| | | | | | C-EDF depends on intel_cacheinfo.c (for get_shared_cpu_map()) which is only available on x86 architectures. Furthermore, get_shared_cpu_map() is only available if SYSFS filesystem is present.
* Make smp_send_pull_timers() optional.Bjoern B. Brandenburg2010-06-01
| | | | | There is currently no need to implement this in ARM. So let's make it optional instead.
* 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 compilation of C-EDF optional.Bjoern B. Brandenburg2010-05-30
| | | | | | C-EDF only makes sense on multicore platforms that have shared caches. Make it possible to disable it on other platforms, in particular, on those that do not export get_shared_cpu_map().
* 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.
