* Bugfix: don't inherit od_table across forksBjoern B. Brandenburg2010-05-29
| | | | | | | | The od_table is strictly per-thread and should not be inherited across a fork/clone. This caused memory corruption when a task exited, which ultimately could lead to oopses in unrelated code. Bug and testcase initially reported by Glenn.
* 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.
* 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.
* 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.
* Bugfix: clear LITMUS^RT state on fork completelyBjoern B. Brandenburg2010-05-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a real-time task forks, then its LITMUS^RT-specific fields should be cleared, because we don't want real-time tasks to spawn new real-time tasks that bypass the plugin's admission control (if any). This was broken in three ways: 1) kernel/fork.c did not erase all of tsk->rt_param, only the first few bytes due to a wrong size argument to memset(). 2) It should have been calling litmus_fork() instead anyway. 3) litmus_fork() was _also_ not clearing all of tsk->rt_param, due to another size argument bug. Interestingly, 1) and 2) can be traced back to the 2007->2008 port, whereas 3) was added by Mitchell much later on (to dead code, no less). I'm really surprised that this never blew up before.

* Add optional dynamic assignment of tracing devices major nrAndrea Bastoni2010-05-29
| | | | | Setting FT_TASK_TRACE_MAJOR, LOG_MAJOR, FT_TRACE_MAJOR to 0 allows to have them automatically assigned by the kernel
* Better explanation of jump-to-CFS optimization removalBjoern B. Brandenburg2010-05-29
| | | | | | | | GSN-EDF and friends rely on being called even if there is currently no runnable real-time task on the runqueue for (at least) two reasons: 1) To initiate migrations. LITMUS^RT pull tasks for migrations; this requires plugins to be called even if no task is currently present. 2) To maintain invariants when jobs block.
* Integrate litmus_tick() in task_tick_litmus()Andrea Bastoni2010-05-29
| | | | | | | | | - remove the call to litmus_tick() from scheduler_tick() just after having performed the class task_tick() and integrate litmus_tick() in task_tick_litmus() - task_tick_litmus() is the handler for the litmus class task_tick() method. It is called in non-queued mode from scheduler_tick()
* Turn off GSN-EDF TRACE() spam by default.Bjoern B. Brandenburg2010-05-29
| | | | | | | Having GSN-EDF log so many things each tick is useful when tracking down race conditions, but it also makes it really hard to find anything else. Thus, turn it off by default but leave it in for future debugging fun.
* Refactor binomial heap names: heap -> bheapAndrea Bastoni2010-05-29
| | | | | | - Binomial heap "heap" names conflicted with priority heap of cgroup in kernel - This patch change binomial heap "heap" names in "bheap"

* [ported from 2008.3] Add GSN-EDF pluginAndrea Bastoni2010-05-29
| | | | | | - insert arm_release_timer() in add_relese() path - arm_release_timer() uses __hrtimer_start_range_ns() instead of hrtimer_start() to avoid deadlock on rq->lock.

* Move sched_trace ring buffer to kfifo implementationAndrea Bastoni2010-05-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | Use kfifo [kernel/kfifo.c] to implement the ring buffer used for sched_trace (TRACE() and TRACE_TASK() macros) This patch also includes some reorganization of sched_trace.c code and some fixes: - 1c39c59b3 Fix GFP_KERNEL in rb_alloc_buf with interrupt disabled. - 193ad2688 Let TRACE() log buffer size and comment converge. - 6195e2ae8 re-enable capturing of printk() messages in TRACE() logs.
