menu "Scheduling"

config PLUGIN_CEDF
        bool "Clustered-EDF"
	depends on X86 && SYSFS
        default y
        help
          Include the Clustered EDF (C-EDF) plugin in the kernel.
          This is appropriate for large platforms with shared caches.
          On smaller platforms (e.g., ARM PB11MPCore), using C-EDF
          makes little sense since there aren't any shared caches.

config PLUGIN_PFAIR
	bool "PFAIR"
	depends on HIGH_RES_TIMERS && !NO_HZ
	default y
	help
	  Include the PFAIR plugin (i.e., the PD^2 scheduler) in the kernel.
	  The PFAIR plugin requires high resolution timers (for staggered quanta)
	  and does not support NO_HZ (quanta could be missed when the system is idle).

	  If unsure, say Yes.

config RELEASE_MASTER
        bool "Release-master Support"
	depends on ARCH_HAS_SEND_PULL_TIMERS
	default n
	help
           Allow one processor to act as a dedicated interrupt processor
           that services all timer interrupts, but that does not schedule
           real-time tasks. See RTSS'09 paper for details
	   (http://www.cs.unc.edu/~anderson/papers.html).
           Currently only supported by GSN-EDF.

endmenu

menu "Real-Time Synchronization"

config NP_SECTION
        bool "Non-preemptive section support"
	default n
	help
	  Allow tasks to become non-preemptable.
          Note that plugins still need to explicitly support non-preemptivity.
          Currently, only GSN-EDF and PSN-EDF have such support.

	  This is required to support the FMLP.
	  If disabled, all tasks will be considered preemptable at all times.

config SRP
	bool "Stack Resource Policy (SRP)"
	default n
	help
	  Include support for Baker's Stack Resource Policy.

	  Say Yes if you want FMLP local long critical section
	  synchronization support.

config PI_SEMAPHORES
	bool "Semaphores with Priority Inheritance"
	default n
	help
	  Generalized support for all Litmus priority inheriting semaphore
	  protocols.

config FMLP
	bool "FMLP support"
	depends on NP_SECTION
	depends on PI_SEMAPHORES
	default n
	help
	  Include support for deterministic multiprocessor real-time
	  synchronization support.

	  Say Yes if you want FMLP long critical section
	  synchronization support.

config OMLP
	bool "OMLP support"
	depends on FMLP
	default n
	help
	  Include support for enhanced deterministic multiprocessor
	  real-time synchronization support.  In contrast to FMLP, which
	  is O(n), OMLP is O(m), where n is the number of tasks sharing a
	  resource and m is the number of processors.  OMLP always
	  lower-bounds FMLP-Long.

	  ONLY G-EDF CURRENTLY SUPPORTED!

	  Say Yes if you want OMLP critical section synchronization
	  support.

endmenu

menu "Tracing"

config FEATHER_TRACE
	bool "Feather-Trace Infrastructure"
	default y
	help
	  Feather-Trace basic tracing infrastructure. Includes device file
	  driver and instrumentation point support.

	  There are actually two implementations of Feather-Trace.
	  1) A slower, but portable, default implementation.
	  2) Architecture-specific implementations that rewrite kernel .text at runtime.

	  If enabled, Feather-Trace will be based on 2) if available (currently only for x86).
	  However, if DEBUG_RODATA=y, then Feather-Trace will choose option 1) in any case
	  to avoid problems with write-protected .text pages.

	  Bottom line: to avoid increased overheads, choose DEBUG_RODATA=n.

	  Note that this option only enables the basic Feather-Trace infrastructure;
	  you still need to enable SCHED_TASK_TRACE and/or SCHED_OVERHEAD_TRACE to
	  actually enable any events.

config SCHED_TASK_TRACE
	bool "Trace real-time tasks"
	depends on FEATHER_TRACE
	default y
	help
	  Include support for the sched_trace_XXX() tracing functions. This
          allows the collection of real-time task events such as job
	  completions, job releases, early completions, etc. This results in  a
	  small overhead in the scheduling code. Disable if the overhead is not
	  acceptable (e.g., benchmarking).

	  Say Yes for debugging.
	  Say No for overhead tracing.

config SCHED_OVERHEAD_TRACE
	bool "Record timestamps for overhead measurements"
	depends on FEATHER_TRACE
	default n
	help
	  Export event stream for overhead tracing.
	  Say Yes for overhead tracing.

config SCHED_DEBUG_TRACE
	bool "TRACE() debugging"
	default y
	help
	  Include support for sched_trace_log_messageg(), which is used to
	  implement TRACE(). If disabled, no TRACE() messages will be included
	  in the kernel, and no overheads due to debugging statements will be
	  incurred by the scheduler. Disable if the overhead is not acceptable
	  (e.g. benchmarking).

	  Say Yes for debugging.
	  Say No for overhead tracing.
