* Litmus core: simplify np-section protocolwip-2011.2-bbbBjoern B. Brandenburg2011-11-24
| | | | | | User a 32-bit word for all non-preemptive section flags. Set the "please yield soon" flag atomically when accessing it on remotely-scheduled tasks.
* 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.
* 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.
* Implement proper remote preemption supportBjoern B. Brandenburg2010-11-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | To date, Litmus has just hooked into the smp_send_reschedule() IPI handler and marked tasks as having to reschedule to implement remote preemptions. This was never particularly clean, but so far we got away with it. However, changes in the underlying Linux, and peculartities of the ARM code (interrupts enabled before context switch) break this naive approach. This patch introduces new state-machine based remote preemption support. By examining the local state before calling set_tsk_need_resched(), we avoid confusing the underlying Linux scheduler. Further, this patch avoids sending unncessary IPIs.
* Split out TRACE() from litmus.h and cleanup some includesBjoern B. Brandenburg2010-11-11
| | | | | | | | | | The TRACE() functionality doesn't need all of litmus.h. Currently, it's impossible to use TRACE() in sched.h due to a circular dependency. This patch moves TRACE() and friends to litmus/sched_debug.h, which can be included in sched.h. While at it, also fix some minor include ugliness that was revealed by this change.
* C-EDF: move /proc/litmus/cluster_cache to /proc/litmus/plugins/C-EDF/clusterBjoern B. Brandenburg2010-11-11
| | | | | | | Make use of the new per-plugin proc file infrastructure to avoid littering the global namespace. While at it, also move all the relevant bits to sched_cedf.c. In the future, each plugin's parameters should be handled in the respective plugin file.
* 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).
* 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.
* [ported from 2008.3] Core LITMUS^RT infrastructureAndrea Bastoni2010-05-29
Port 2008.3 Core LITMUS^RT infrastructure to Linux 2.6.32 litmus_sched_class implements 4 new methods: - prio_changed: void - switched_to: void - get_rr_interval: return infinity (i.e., 0) - select_task_rq: return current cpu
