Real Time 的定義
=====================================================================
.. code-block:: c
git clone git://git.xenomai.org/xenomai-head.git xenomai-head
- Download minimal config
一個real time的系統需要保證其工作在給定的時間限制內完成(稱為deadline)。
系統不需要以最快的速度(real fast)完成任務,但需要時常或每次皆在deadline之內完成。
.. code-block:: c
在這個前提下,real time系統的任務完成時間是可確定的(deterministic)。
而根據系統的限制不同,real time可分為:
wget https://www.dropbox.com/s/dcju74md5sz45at/rpi_xenomai_config
* Soft Real Time
系統不一定每次皆需要遵守deadline,但較多的deadline miss會導致服務品質降低。
* Apply patches
* Hard Real Time
系統能每次皆能在deadline內完成任務。
- Apply ipipe core pre-patch
Real time on Linux
=====================================================================
.. code-block:: c
cd linux-rpi-3.8.y
patch -Np1 < ../xenomai-head/ksrc/arch/arm/patches/raspberry/ipipe-core-3.8.13-raspberry-pre-2.patch
* PREEMPT_RT (in-kernel; single kernel)
- Apply Xenomai ipipe core patch
修改原本的 GNU/Linux 核心 (vanilla kernel),以減少non-preemptible section的方式,使其逐步改善 real-time 能力。
.. code-block:: c
* dual kernel (如 RTLinux, RTAI, Xenomai)
xenomai-head/scripts/prepare-kernel.sh --arch=arm --linux=linux-rpi-3.8.y --adeos=xenomai-head/ksrc/arch/arm/patches/ipipe-core-3.8.13-arm-3.patch
運作一個 real-time 核心,然後將修改過的 GNU/Linux 核心程式碼視為該 real-time 核心的 idle task。
- Apply ipipe core post-patch
在xenomai中,dual kernel 就是 Xenomai 的 Nucleus / Cobalt Core 和 Linux kernel。Xenomai 改變整個系統架構,讓 ipipe -> xenomai scheduler 來預先處理 real-time task,而 Linux 則拉到上層成為一個task。這樣可以避免 Linux 因為龐大的架構而影響處理 real-time 的時間。
.. code-block:: c
Xenomai系統架構
=====================================================================
cd linux-rpi-3.8.y
patch -Np1 < ../xenomai-head/ksrc/arch/arm/patches/raspberry/ipipe-core-3.8.13-raspberry-post-2.patch
* Compile kernel
![](/embedded/xenomai/xenomai_arch.jpg)
- Create build directory
Xenomai是一個linux kernel的patch
藉由在底層增加一個架構
負責硬體與接收interrupt 並將interrupt 傳給上層的OS(這邊稱為domain)
這個底層的架構是Adeos 是另一個open source的project
.. code-block:: c
mkdir linux-rpi-3.8.y/build
在api呼叫上可以看到不同層級的抽象化
- Configure kernel
ipipe_XXX -> rthal_XXX -> xnXXX
.. code-block:: c
負責傳送interrupt的程式稱為ipipe
示意圖 :
cp rpi_xenomai_config linux-rpi-3.8.y/build/.config
cd linux-rpi-3.8.y
make mrproper
make ARCH=arm O=build oldconfig
![](/embedded/xenomai/adeos.jpg)
- Compile
可以找到ipipe_raise_irq()將interrupt推到pipeline
.. code-block:: c
在ipipe上每個domain都有自己的優先度
高優先度的domain會先接收到interrupt
高優先度的domain的thread 可以preempt低優先度domain的thread
make ARCH=arm O=build CROSS_COMPILE=../../tools-master/arm-bcm2708/arm-bcm2708hardfp-linux-gnueabi/bin/arm-bcm2708hardfp-linux-gnueabi-
- Install modules
## Xenomai 3
.. code-block:: c
xenomai3有兩種configuration:
make ARCH=arm O=build INSTALL_MOD_PATH=dist modules_install
* Cobalt: 採用dual kernel架構,是xenomai 2的延伸
- Install headers
* Mercury: 使用單kernel形式,在linux kernel上提供xenomai api,由於本身依賴linux,一般來說會以PREEMPT_RT提供real-time services
.. code-block:: c
**Xenomai 3 dual kernal configuration : Cobalt**
![](/embedded/xenomai/cobalt.png)
多一個 priority 比 linux 還高叫 cobalt 的 core 去處理 real-time 的事情,提供不同的 real-time API 給不同的 applications 使用。並且利用Optimistic interrupt protection 機制減少 changing the interrupt mask,一般的機制在每次進入critical section時都要interrupt mask,而Optimistic interrupt protection可以不用。而real-time 在意的 "deadline",實際上就是探討 latency (latency 越大,系統越難在時限內完成完成高優先權任務,自然即時能力就越差),而 latency 很大的來源則是 interrupt handling。
**Xenomai 3 single kernel configuration :Mercury**
![](/embedded/xenomai/mercury.png)
運用本機的 linux core 在 PREEMPT_RT之上達到 real-time 的事情,這裡不是強制的,看 applications 對反應時間和 maximum jitter 的要求,有些甚至會作到某種程度 deadline 的忽略。
## Adeos / iPipe
主要負責處理irq 與 high resolution timer, ipipe的工作很簡單 就是設定timer並將interrupt往上丟
* Adeos feature
- event pipeline :
利用pipeline的方式將不同domain的interrupt或system call往上丟
- Optimistic interrupt protection :
當同一個domain在處理interrupt時,有跟她相同domain的interrupt要進來時,會將它進pending狀態,等到所有pending interrupt完成時,才會處理下個domain的interrupt。但更高優先權domain的interrupt會preempt較低優先權domain的interrupt。
- Optimistic v.s Original :
Original case:
![](/embedded/xenomai/originalcase1.png)
![](/embedded/xenomai/originalcase2.png)
Optimistic case:
![](/embedded/xenomai/optiminsticcase1.png)
![](/embedded/xenomai/optiminsticcase2.png)
從前兩張圖可看出一般的機制在每次進入critical section時都要interrupt mask,而Optimistic interrupt protection可以不用,所以在interrupt management的時間差很多。而real-time 在意的 “deadline”,實際上就是探討 latency (latency 越大,系統越難在時限內完成完成高優先權任務,自然即時能力就越差),而 latency 很大的來源則是 interrupt handling。
- System event propagation :
system event(ex : page fault handle) 傳遞方式不同於interrupt,基本上是不可被stall的。
* realtime support to threads running in the secondary domain
- Common priority scheme :
當xenomai task migrates to linux domain時,linux domain會繼承xenomai task的priority。
![](/embedded/xenomai/pirority_scheme.png)
- Predictability of program execution times :
當xenomai threads 進入linux(secondary) domain時,不可被linux domain interrupt preempt掉,也不能被其他low priority activity at linux kernel preempt掉。通常最簡單實作方式就是加一個interrupt shield domain。
![](/embedded/xenomai/interrupt_shield.png)
- Fine-grained Linux kernel :
In order to get the best from secondary domain,we need the Linux kernel to exhibit the shortest possible nonpreemptible section, so that rescheduling opportunities are taken as soon as possible after a Xenomai thread running in the secondary domain becomes ready to run.
- Priority inversion management :
Both the real-time nucleus and the Linux kernel should handle the case where a high priority thread is kept from running because a low priority one holds a contented resourse for a possibly unbounded amount of time.
* 相關檔案︰
- gic.c(舊版) -> irq-gic.c(新版) :
Generic Interrupt Controller(GIC)為ARM架構中負責分配interrupt至cpu的裝置。此檔案實作gic功能的界面,包含init、mask、產生軟體interrupt、end of interrupt、取得資訊等。內容除了gic register操作外,也包含了spin locks。
- it8152.c:提供ITE8152 (PCI Bridge)的支援。目前該硬體已經停止生產 。
- timer-sp.c:ARM Dual-Timer Module (SP804)的界面。SP804提供兩個32/64bit count down counter,並提供timer interrupt。
- vic.c -> irq-vic.c:
提供Vectored Interrupt Controller(VIC)的界面。VIC主要存在於armv6或以前的架構中,提供priority、IRQ vector等功能,但並不支援SMP。在armv7之後的架構中,其漸漸被NVIC(Cortex-M)與GIC(Cortex-R/A)取代。
- ipipe-tsc.c -> ipipe_tsc.c:Time Stamp Counter的界面,提供自reset起cycle數的計算。
- ipipe/compat.c:與I-pipe legacy interface相關。
- sched/clock.c:取得cpu_clock 解析度為nanosecond,開機後從0開始上數。在新版(3.18)ipipe中,此檔案並無修改。
![](/embedded/xenomai/cpu_distribute.jpg)
GIC大約是上圖的distributor的位置
但raspberry pi只有一顆CPU所以不會有SMP與 CPU affinity設定的問題
## HAL
檔案位置在 : xenomai-head/ksrc/arch/arm/hal.c (xenomai 2.6)
Hardware Abstract Layer:process 透過HAL呼叫ipipe的服務。這一層主要是包裝ipipe 與底層資訊 讓nucleus可以不用看到硬體資訊。
## Nucleus / Cobalt
檔案位置在 : xenomai-head/ksrc/nucleus (xenomai 2.6) ; xenomai-head/kernel/cobalt (xenomai 3)
Xenomai的kernel, 包含schedule、timer、synch、thread、lock等等一般該有的RTOS功能,負責real-time tasks的執行。
## Scheduler
優先處理realtime task ,linux也被視為其中一個thread,本身也有scheduler,但須等到沒有real-time task時(idle state),才會執行linux thread
![](/embedded/xenomai/xenomai_sched.jpg)
就檔案有五個關於sched.c應該有四種不同的schedule方式
sched-idle.c :是專門處理idle狀態給linux schedule使用
sched-rt.c : 給real-time scheduler使用(FIFO+RR)
sched-sporadic.c : POSIX SCHED_SPORADIC scheduling class.
sched-tp.c : Temporal partitioning (typical of IMA systems)
sched.c : 應該是負責四個schedule方式的檔案
## Skins
檔案位置在xenomai-head/ksrc/skins (xenomai 2.6)
呼叫xenomai的界面, 有native rtdm posix psos+ uitron vrtx vxworks等。
Xenomai與PREEMPT_RT的差異
=====================================================================
* Linux kernel preemption model 組態 (realtime程度 ↑ => latency↓ but throughput↓)
- PREEMPT_NONE
著重fairness和throughput,process在執行system call時無法被preempt。
- PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY(DESKTOP)
允許一個低優先權的 process把自己 preempt掉(即便該 process正在 kernel mode 執行著一個系統呼叫)
- PREEMPT(Low-Latency Desktop)
- PREEMPT_RT
著重determinism,對即時系統而言,作業系統的「可決定性」比 throughput 更為重要,使用固定優先權的 preemptive 排程策略 (POSIX SCHED_FIFO 與 SCHED_RR)。
* PREEMPT_RT 機制
- Preemptible critical sections
- Preemptible interrupt handlers
- Preemptible "interrupt disable" code sequences
- Priority inheritance for in-kernel spinlocks and semaphores
- Deferred operations
- Latency-reduction measures
- Execute all activities (including IRQ) in “schedulable/thread” context
原本無法preempt的地方讓他可以preemt,讓spinlock 區塊在區分成可以preempt的地方跟不能preempt的地方,將IRQ handler移到thread中執行。
Priority inheritance 是讓握有spinlock 或 semaphore的process可以暫時的提高優先權 讓他可以盡快做完critical section釋放spinlock或semaphore
高Priority的 process才有辦法繼續執行。
* PREEMPT_RT 與 xenomai的差異
RT_PREEMPT是基於linux架構去改進 讓更多地方能preempt 達到real-time的能力
Xenomai則是改變整個系統架構 新增一個scheduler與IRQ管理的機制
讓處理real-time task流程簡化到只剩ipipe->scheduler 就能執行
不會因linux龐大的架構影響到real-time task的處理時間

```
Xenomai是一個linux kernel的patch
藉由在底層增加一個架構
負責硬體與接收interrupt 並將interrupt 傳給上層的OS(這邊稱為domain)
這個底層的架構是Adeos 是另一個open source的project
若patch正確,會在設定表裡看到xenomai相關選項。
基本架構示意圖
http://dchabal.developpez.com/tutoriels/linux/xenomai/images/image04.png
使用manuconfig或編輯build/.config,找到CONFIG_CPU_FREQ , CONFIG_CPU_IDLE , CONFIG_KGDB , CONFIG_CONTEXT_TRACKING_FORCE(若有的話)設為n。
在api呼叫上可以看到不同層級的抽象化
ipipe_XXX -> rthal_XXX -> xnXXX
上一層對下一層的操作方式基本上會固定 但下一層的實作一硬體或config有所差異
* compile kernel
```
make -j 5 ARCH=arm O=build CROSS_COMPILE=$CCPI
```
負責傳送interrupt的程式稱為ipipe
示意圖
http://www.xenomai.org/documentation/xenomai-2.6/html/pictures/life-with-adeos-img4.jpg
* 安裝kernel modules
```
make ARCH=arm O=build INSTALL_MOD_PATH=dist modules_install
```
可以找到ipipe_raise_irq()將interrupt推到pipeline
* 安裝headers
```
make ARCH=arm O=build INSTALL_HDR_PATH=dist headers_install
```
在ipipe上每個domain都有自己的優先度
高優先度的domain會先接收到interrupt
高優先度的domain的thread 可以preempt 低優先度domain的thread
* xenomai
```
cd ../xenomai-3
mkdir dist
export PATH=/home/erickitten/workspace/xenomai/pi/tools/arm-bcm2708/gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-raspbian-x64/bin/:$PATH
```
* 與 RT-PREEMPT 途徑的差異?
* 設定bootstrap
```
./scripts/bootstrap --with-core=cobalt –enable-debug=partial
```
依據預設 Xenomai 組態,nucleus 程式碼的兩個檔案未被編譯進去:
- sched-tp.c
- sched-sporadic.c
* configure

* CPU : 目前這個tread是使用哪個CPU在運行,而rpi是單核心CPU,故顯示皆為0
* MSW : Mode SWitches, This value should only increase over time for threads that are expected to interact with Linux services.
- 當process從primary mode轉成secondary mode或是secondary mode轉成primary mode時,將會紀錄一次的轉換。
- cyclictest的RT task因為會執行到memset,所以會從xenomai schedule跳到linux schedule,MSW+1,而執行完memset後將在跳回xenomai schedule,故再+1
* CSW : Number of Context SWitches (or IRQ hits for the particular CPU)
* PF : Number of Page Faults (should stop increasing as soon as mlockall is in effect)
* STAT : A bitfield describing the internal state of the thread. Bit values are defined in include/nucleus/thread.h (See status and mode bits). The STAT field from /proc/xenomai/sched gives a 1-letter-per-bit symbolic translation of a the most significant subset of those bits.
* %CPU : CPU share of the thread (or IRQ handler) since the last retrieval of the statistics.
* NAME : Name of the thread (or IRQ number and registered driver). Can be set, e.g., with the (non portable) POSIX-API-function pthread_set_name_np. See API documentation of the RTOS skin in question.

在這邊可以看到cyclictest有兩個pid,因為/usr/xenomai/bin/cyclictest它會先創一個thread,並讓這個thread跑nanosleep,所以會有兩個process。接著看向CSW,pid 2254的cyclictest, 他的CSW只有1。pid 2256的卻有235,這是因為2256是一個xenomai realtime task,而 2254是一個 linux的process,所以2256會優先執行,直到realtime task都做完才會換low priority的linux domain process取得CPU,因此2254的CSW值才會是1而沒有增加。

* trace後才了解,這是xenomai在-p的指令上是使用atoi,將輸入的數字轉為int,但並沒有進行偵錯,才導致segment fault,而需跳轉到linux domain進行除錯。

## Cyclictest 原理
* 概念:設定一個時間間隔->取得現在時間->讓process 睡一個間隔->process醒來後再取一次時間->比對兩次取得的時間差與設定的間隔差距
* pseudocode:
```c
clock_gettime((&now))
next = now + par->interval
while (!shutdown) {
clock_nanosleep((&next))
clock_gettime((&now))
diff = calcdiff(now, next)
# update stat-> min, max, total latency, cycles
# update the histogram data
next += interval
}
```
造成這時間差的可能原因:
* 造成時間差的原因
timer精準度
- timer精準度
- IRQ latency
- IRQ handler duration
- scheduler latency
- scheduler duration
interrupt latency
interrupt handler duration
* Cyclictest 實作流程
scheduler latency
1.cyclictest建立一個timerthread, 它一個 realtime 的 thread
scheduler duration
2.timerthread會重複的執行取第一次時間 nanosleep(interval) 取第二次時間 比對兩次時間差與interval的差異
context switch
3.最後將結果輸出在terminal
討論用
--------
https://embedded2014.hackpad.com/Xenomai-raspberry-note-XwJtuQn9nkD
* Clock_nanosleep 的 timer
clock_nanosleep 使用的timer 是 high resolution timer(HRT) ,讓睡眠時間可以更精確,達到nanosecond的精準度(但還是要看硬體能提供的精準度)
因為能在更準確得時間讓process醒來並取的nanoscecond單位的時間 所以可以計算到由systick無法計算到的duration + latency
* Clock_nanosleep 實作流程
1.使用 spinlock (xnlock_get_irqsave) 令 CPU 不接受 Interrupt
2.使用 xnpod_suspend_thread 改變目前 thread 的狀態
3.使用 xntimer_get_timeout_stopped 取得 tick
4.使用 ticks2ts 轉換時間單位
```c
int clock_nanosleep (clockid_t clock_id, int flags, const struct timespec *rqtp, struct timespec *rmtp)
{
xnthread_t *cur;
spl_t s;
int err = 0;
if (xnpod_unblockable_p())
return EPERM;
if (clock_id != CLOCK_MONOTONIC && clock_id != CLOCK_REALTIME)
return ENOTSUP;
if ((unsigned long)rqtp->tv_nsec >= ONE_BILLION)
return EINVAL;
if (flags & ~TIMER_ABSTIME)
return EINVAL;
cur = xnpod_current_thread();
xnlock_get_irqsave(&nklock, s);
thread_cancellation_point(cur);
xnpod_suspend_thread(cur, XNDELAY, ts2ticks_ceil(rqtp) + 1,clock_flag(flags, clock_id), NULL);
thread_cancellation_point(cur);
if (xnthread_test_info(cur, XNBREAK)) {
if (flags == 0 && rmtp) {
xnsticks_t rem;
rem = xntimer_get_timeout_stopped(&cur->rtimer);
xnlock_put_irqrestore(&nklock, s);
ticks2ts(rmtp, rem > 1 ? rem : 0);
} else
xnlock_put_irqrestore(&nklock, s);
return EINTR;
}
xnlock_put_irqrestore(&nklock, s);
return err;
}
```

Q&A
=====================================================================
* Q1:handler duration 與 schedule latency 之間的延遲原因為何?
- A:
![](/embedded/xenomai/tasklatency.jpg)
* Q2:ipipe的效益為何?為什麼要切割damain?切割完要如何確保real-time的穩定速度?
- A:
ipipe的主要效益是用來切割domain,讓real-time和linux interrupt可以在不同domain下進行運作。
切割domain原因是因為real-time domain的優先序是最高的,當有real-time interrupt進來,就會直接進入real-time domain去執 行,不會在經過整個linux的複雜架構下進行preempt的動作,可確保real-time 能在短時間內進行處理。
* Q3:ipipe/Adeos理論基礎中的Fine-grained是什麼?
- A:
![](/criticalsection.png)
在[life with andeos ](http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.45.5628&rep=rep1&type=pdf)這篇指的fine-grained linux kernel,是指在編寫linux kernel code時,盡量讓critical section能愈短愈好,確保當real-time thread running in the secondary domain能在一定時間內遇到schedule point,也就可以在schedule point處理real-time thread。
* Q4:ipipe的相關檔案,gic.c、it8152.c ... 之類的有什麼關係?
- A:
* Q5:請解釋下圖
![](/interuptdistributor.png)
- A:
GIC:Generic Interrupt Controller(GIC)是arm用來集中分配interrupt至cpu的裝置。它主要分為distributor與cpu interfaces.
![](/embedded/xenomai/gic.png)
distributor:負責分配interrupts,紀錄執行狀態,並提供registers以決定每個interrupt的enable、priority level、target processor。每個interrupt會有固定的interrupt ID,以供接收的cpu辨認。
cpu interface:向cpu傳送interrupt request,並提供distributor接收(acknowledge)interrupt、完成interrupt等訊息;它也提供決定priority mask、preemption policy的registers。
當啟動時,cpu interface會收到priority最高的pending interrupt,並決定它是否有足夠的priority被此cpu執行(參考mask、running interrupt、preemption),若是則signal cpu。cpu讀取interface的register(GICC_HPPIR)以接收interrupt,此讀取會得到interrupt ID,當接收後 distributor會改變狀態(由pending->active(and pending));完成之後,cpu寫入register以示意interrupt已經完成。
Interrupt types:
* Private Peripheral Interrupt (PPI) ID:16-31
每個cpu各自獨立的硬體interrupt。
* Shared Peripheral Interrupt (SPI) ID:32~1019
外部硬體interrupt。
* Software-generated interrupt (SGI) ID:0~15
軟體interrupt,由一個cpu發出,可指定至一個或多個cpu,cpu以寫入GICD_SGIR的方式產生SGI,其中PPI與SGI是N-N model,每個cpu的interrupt狀態各自獨立;SPI是1-N model,一旦其中一個目標cpu接受,interrupt即視為已處理。
* Q6:Xenimai2與Xenomai3架構圖
- A:
* Q7:要如何知道每個CPU上跑哪一個task? SMP是如何排程?
- A:
對CPU來講 thread, process都是程式(program),一如作業系統,CPU只是在其間跳來跳去;有一個 load balancer 會定期得去處理 Processor 間的 Balance 會將 loading 較重的 Processor 內的工作移到 Loading 較輕的 Processor 上去執行,其中會用到 Processor 間的 interrupt 這種 interrupt 叫 IPI (inter-processor interrupt)
* inter-processor interrupt (IPI):
IPI is a special type of interrupt by which one processor may interrupt another processor in a multiprocessor system if the interrupting processor requires action from the other processor.
* PPI :
An interrupt generated by a peripheral.
