* Clean up 'time_slice' and 'completed' usageBjoern Brandenburg2013-06-08
| | | | | | The 'time_slice' parameter has not been relevant in a couple of years. The 'completed' flag was misused in a few places. This clean-up patch removes these outdated remnants.
* PSN-EDF: fix admission of suspended taskBjoern Brandenburg2013-06-08
| | | | | The PSN-EDF plugin used to crash when trying to admit a suspended task. This patch fixes the task_new() handler to tolerate this case.
* Differentiate between PERIODIC and SPORADIC tasks.Glenn Elliott2013-03-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Tasks can now be PERIODIC or SPORADIC. PERIODIC tasks do not have their job number incremented when they wake up and are tardy. PERIODIC jobs must end with a call to sys_complete_job() to set up their next release. (Not currently supported by pfair.) SPORADIC tasks _do_ have their job number incremented when they wake up and are tardy. SPORADIC is the default task behavior, carrying forward Litmus's current behavior.
* EDF schedulers: Support early job releasing.Glenn Elliott2013-03-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch allows a task to request early releasing via rt_task parameters to sys_set_task_rt_param(). Note that early releasing can easily peg your CPUs since early-releasing tasks never suspend to wait for their next job. As such, early releasing is really only useful in the context of implementing bandwidth servers, interrupt handling threads (or any thread that spends most of its time waiting for an event), or short-lived computations. If early releasing pegs your CPUs, then you probably shouldn't be using it.
* Disallow nesting of LITMUS^RT locksBjoern Brandenburg2013-02-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Nesting of locks was never supported in LITMUS^RT since the required analysis does not exist anyway. That is, as defined in the literature, the protocols implemented in LITMUS^RT have not been studied in conjunction with nested critical sections. In LITMUS^RT, attempting to nest locks could lead to silent or not-so-silent bugs. This patch makes this restriction explicit and returns EBUSY when a process attempts to nest resources. This is enforced on a protocol-by-protocol basis, which means that adding protocols with support for nesting in future versions is not affected by this change. Exception: PCP and SRP resources may be nested, but not within global critical sections.
* litmus: get rid of RT_F_SLEEP and RT_F_RUNNINGManohar Vanga2012-11-27
| | | | | | | | This patch removes the flags RT_F_SLEEP and RT_F_RUNNING as their name is misleading. This patch replaces them with a 'completed' field in struct rt_param. Signed-off-by: Manohar Vanga <mvanga@mpi-sws.org>
* Fix wake_up() preemptions under P-FP and PSN-EDFBjoern Brandenburg2012-08-14
| | | | | | | Due to some mistake in the past, PSN-EDF was missing a check for preemptions when a task resumes. P-FP adopted it by virtue of copy&paste. This patch makes sure that a preemption is triggered when a higher-priority task is added to the ready queue.
* 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.
* Feather-Trace: trace locking-related suspensionsBjoern B. Brandenburg2011-11-24
|
* PSN-EDF: add release master supportBjoern B. Brandenburg2011-08-27
| | | | We can give up a processor under partitioning, too.
* 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.
* 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.
* FMLP: remove old implementationBjoern B. Brandenburg2011-02-01
|
* SRP: port to new generic locking APIBjoern B. Brandenburg2011-02-01
| | | | | This re-enables SRP support under PSN-EDF and demonstrates how the new locking API should be used.
* Litmus core: replace FMLP & SRP system calls with generic syscallsBjoern B. Brandenburg2011-02-01
| | | | | This renders the FMLP and SRP unfunctional until they are ported to the new locking API.
* 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.
* PSN-EDF: remove outdated commentBjoern B. Brandenburg2010-09-21
| | | | | ...and replace it with a more useful one. We don't directly modify Linux run queues anymore since (at least) LITMUS^RT 2008.
* 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.
* Bugfix: PSN-EDF should log job_completion eventsAndrea Bastoni2010-05-29
| | | | | Log task completions in job_completion() for PSN-EDF. This fixes the problem of missing job-completion events for PSN-EDF.
* Bugfix: PSN-EDF should only requeue tasks that are not scheduledBjoern B. Brandenburg2010-05-29
| | | | | | | | | Requeue a task that is already scheduled will cause it to be effectively in the runqueue twice since scheduled tasks are conceptually the head of the queue. If a task is still scheduled, then schedule() will do the right thing and do the requeuing if necessary. This fixes crashes reported by Glenn and Andrea.
* Use generic preemption function in GSN- and PSN-EDF.Bjoern B. Brandenburg2010-05-29
| | | | | This patch updates non-preemptive section support in GSN- and PSN-EDF.
* [ported from 2008.3] Add PSN-EDF PluginAndrea Bastoni2010-05-29
