  - Download Xenomai 
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**

    make ARCH=arm O=build INSTALL_HDR_PATH=dist headers_install
    find build/dist/include \( -name .install -o -name ..install.cmd \) -delete
![](/embedded/xenomai/cobalt.png)

* 編譯好的kernelImage,移到SD卡的 ``/boot/`` 路徑下並更改名稱為kernel.img
* 將``linux-rpi-3.8.y/build/dist``中的Module,移到SD卡中的``/lib/modules``
* Cyclictest
  - Linux
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。

  .. code-block:: c
    
**Xenomai 3 single kernel configuration :Mercury**

  - Xenomai
![](/embedded/xenomai/mercury.png)

  .. code-block:: c
    
    cd xenomai-head
    export PATH=../tools-master/arm-bcm2708/arm-bcm2708hardfp-linux-gnueabi/bin/:$PATH
    ./configure --host=arm-bcm2708hardfp-linux-gnueabi
    cd src
    mkdir dist
    make install DIST_DIR=dist
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。

  dist中會出現``usr/xenomai``
  將這個資料夾移到sd卡中 ``/usr/``
## Adeos / iPipe

  在raspberry pi中

  .. code-block:: c
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

    export PATH=/usr/xenomai/bin:$PATH  
    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/xenomai/lib
    sudo modprobe xeno_posix
* Adeos feature

   接著就能跑使用xenomai機制的cyclictest
  - event pipeline : 

  - RT_preempt
    利用pipeline的方式將不同domain的interrupt或system call往上丟

  - Optimistic interrupt protection :

Real Time 的定義
==============================
    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。

* Hard Real Time
  - Optimistic v.s Original :

 系統一定可以在 Response Time 內完成指定的task
    Original case:

* Soft Real Time
    ![](/embedded/xenomai/originalcase1.png)

 在特定的機率下,系統可以在 Response Time 內完成指定的task
    ![](/embedded/xenomai/originalcase2.png)

作業系統架構
===========
    Optimistic case:

.. image:: /xenoarch2.jpg
    ![](/embedded/xenomai/optiminsticcase1.png)

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
    ![](/embedded/xenomai/optiminsticcase2.png)

基本架構示意圖
http://dchabal.developpez.com/tutoriels/linux/xenomai/images/image04.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。

  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
  - System­ event propagation :

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
    system event(ex : page fault handle) 傳遞方式不同於interrupt,基本上是不可被stall的。

  可以找到ipipe_raise_irq()將interrupt推到pipeline
* realtime support to threads running in the secondary domain

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
  - Common priority scheme : 

    當xenomai task migrates to linux domain時,linux domain會繼承xenomai task的priority。

iPipe
++++++++++++++
    ![](/embedded/xenomai/pirority_scheme.png)

主要負責處理irq 與 timer(HRT), ipipe的工作很簡單 就是設定timer並將interrupt往上丟
  - 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.

      Generic Interrupt Controller, Interrupt prioritization and distribution to each CPU interface. This is known as the Distributor. Priority masking and preemption handling for each CPU. This is known as the CPU Interface.
    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:IRQ相關

  - vic.c:
  - vic.c -> irq-vic.c:

     The VIC provides a software interface to the interrupt system. In a system with an interrupt controller, software must determine the source that is requesting service and where its service routine is loaded. A VIC does both of these in hardware.
    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。

HAL
++++++++++++
GIC大約是上圖的distributor的位置

Hardware Abstract Layer:prcess  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。
但raspberry pi只有一顆CPU所以不會有SMP與 CPU affinity設定的問題

## HAL

Nucleus
++++++++++++
檔案位置在 : xenomai-head/ksrc/arch/arm/hal.c (xenomai 2.6)

Xenomai的kernel, 包含一個scheduler,優先執行real-time tasks.
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。

Scheduler
++++++++++++
## 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)

Skins
++++++++++++
就檔案有五個關於sched.c應該有四種不同的schedule方式

呼叫xenomai的界面, 有native rtdm posix等。
sched-idle.c :是專門處理idle狀態給linux schedule使用

問題
++++++++++++
sched-rt.c : 給real-time scheduler使用(FIFO+RR)

與 RT-PREEMPT 途徑的差異?
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

Timer
+++++++++++
Xenomai與PREEMPT_RT的差異
=====================================================================

Scheduler
+++++++++++
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

xnpod
+++++++++++
* Linux kernel preemption model 組態 (realtime程度 ↑ => latency↓ but throughput↓)
  - PREEMPT_NONE

.. code-block:: prettyprint
    著重fairness和throughput,process在執行system call時無法被preempt。

    struct xnpod {
  - PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY(DESKTOP)

    xnflags_t status;	/*!< Status bitmask. */
    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)

    xnsched_t sched[XNARCH_NR_CPUS];	/*!< Per-cpu scheduler slots. */
  - PREEMPT(Low-Latency Desktop)
  - PREEMPT_RT

    xnqueue_t threadq;	/*!< All existing threads. */
    #ifdef CONFIG_XENO_OPT_VFILE
    struct xnvfile_rev_tag threadlist_tag;
    #endif
    xnqueue_t tstartq,	/*!< Thread start hook queue. */
    tswitchq,		/*!< Thread switch hook queue. */
    tdeleteq;		/*!< Thread delete hook queue. */
    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)。

    atomic_counter_t timerlck;	/*!< Timer lock depth.  */

    xntimer_t tslicer;	/*!< Time-slicing timer for aperiodic mode  */
    int tsliced;		/*!< Number of threads using the slicer */
* 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

    int refcnt;		/*!< Reference count.  */
  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。

    #ifdef __XENO_SIM__
    void (*schedhook) (xnthread_t *thread, xnflags_t mask);	/*!< Internal scheduling hook. */
    #endif	/* __XENO_SIM__ */
    };
  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

Cyclictest
+++++++++++
  高Priority的 process才有辦法繼續執行。

.. code-block:: prettyprint
* PREEMPT_RT 與 xenomai的差異

效能表現
=======
* `Cyclictest<https://rt.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Cyclictest>`_
* Test case: POSIX interval timer, Interval 500 micro seconds,. 100000 loops, 100% load.
  - Commandline: cyclictest -t1 -p 80 -i 500 -l 100000
  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

* 使用 PREEMPT LINUX
  Xenomai則是改變整個系統架構 新增一個scheduler與IRQ管理的機制

.. code-block:: prettyprint
  讓處理real-time task流程簡化到只剩ipipe->scheduler 就能執行

    root@raspberrypi:/home/pi# sudo ./cyclictest -t1 -p 80 -i 500 -l 100000

   cd <working dir>
   mkdir linux-rpi-3.8.y/build
```

* Configure kernel
```
   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
```

* Compile Linux Kernel (此步驟耗時長,建議用make -j平行加速)

在作此步驟之前須export library
```
  export PATH=<working dir(full path)>/tools-master/arm-bcm2708/arm-bcm2708hardfp-linux-gnueabi/bin/:$PATH
   make ARCH=arm O=build CROSS_COMPILE=<working dir(full path)>/tools-master/arm-bcm2708/arm-bcm2708hardfp-linux-gnueabi/bin/arm-bcm2708hardfp-linux-gnueabi-
```

* Install modules
```
  make ARCH=arm O=build INSTALL_MOD_PATH=dist modules_install
```

* Install headers
```
    make ARCH=arm O=build INSTALL_HDR_PATH=dist headers_install
    find build/dist/include \( -name .install -o -name ..install.cmd \) -delete
```

* 編譯好的kernelImage(<working dir>/linux-rpi-3.8.y/build/arch/arm/boot/Image),移到SD卡的 ``/boot/`` 路徑下並更改名稱為kernel.img

* 將``linux-rpi-3.8.y/build/dist``中的Module,移到SD卡中的``/lib/modules``

* Compile Xenomai
```
  cd xenomai-head
  export PATH=<working dir(full path)>/tools-master/arm-bcm2708/arm-bcm2708hardfp-linux-gnueabi/bin/:$PATH
  ./configure --host=arm-bcm2708hardfp-linux-gnueabi
  cd src
  mkdir dist
  make install DESTDIR=`pwd`/dist
```

* dist中會出現``usr/xenomai``, 將這個資料夾移到sd卡中 ``/usr/``

* 用 minicom 連進 raspberry pi 中執行以下動作
```
  export PATH=/usr/xenomai/bin:$PATH  
  export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/xenomai/lib
  sudo modprobe xeno_posix
```

## Xenomai 3 on raspberry pi

* 取得 xenomai 3.0-rc、rpi-linux 3.18.y、ipipe 3.18.12 arm patch、toolchain
```
  git clone -b rpi-3.18.y git://github.com/raspberrypi/linux.git rpi-linux
  git clone -b v3.0-rc4 git://git.xenomai.org/xenomai-3.git xenomai-3
  wget http://download.gna.org/adeos/patches/v3.x/arm/ipipe-core-3.18.12-arm-1.patch
  git clone https://github.com/raspberrypi/tools.git --depth=1
```

* checkout rpi-linux至3.18.12
```
  git checkout c963de6d8caec6278c0dde76831f9fdab5bace52
  git checkout -b 3.18.12
```

* 由此處取得rpi post patch

[post patch](https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6GwSked9fL9RnU3b3pSajFZbUk/view)

* 上 ipipe patch
```
  cd rpi-linux
  ../xenomai-3/scripts/prepare-kernel.sh --arch=arm --ipipe=<你的patch位置>/ipipe-core-3.18.12-arm-1.patch   --linux=.
```

* ipipe post patch (註:pre patch為解決ipipe patch衝突之用,此處無衝突故不需要)
```
  patch -Np1 < <你的patch位置>/3.18.12-xenomai3-temp.patch
```

* configure kernel(使用rpi提供的default)
```
  export CCPI=($working_dir)/tools/arm-bcm2708/gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-raspbian-x64/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-
  mkdir build
  make mrproper
  make ARCH=arm O=build CROSS_COMPILE=$CCPI bcmrpi_defconfig
  make ARCH=arm O=build CROSS_COMPILE=$CCPI menuconfig
```

若patch正確,會在設定表裡看到xenomai相關選項。

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。

* compile kernel
```
  make -j 5 ARCH=arm O=build CROSS_COMPILE=$CCPI
```

* 安裝kernel modules
```
  make ARCH=arm O=build INSTALL_MOD_PATH=dist modules_install
```

* 安裝headers
```
  make ARCH=arm O=build INSTALL_HDR_PATH=dist headers_install
```

* 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
```

* 設定bootstrap
```
  ./scripts/bootstrap --with-core=cobalt –enable-debug=partial
```

* configure
```
  ./configure CFLAGS="-mcpu=arm1176jzf-s -mfpu=vfp -mfloat-abi=hard" LDFLAGS="-mcpu=arm1176jzf-s -mfpu=vfp -mfloat-abi=hard" --host=arm-linux-gnueabihf --with-core=cobalt
```

* install
```
  make DESTDIR=`pwd`/dist install
```

* 複製kernel

將linux-rpi/build/arch/arm/boot/Image複製到SD卡的/boot (partition),並改名成kernel.img。或使用config.txt,以kernel=<filename>指定名稱。

* 移動module / patches (權限問題,需使用sudo)
```
  cd ..
  sudo cp -r rpi-linux/build/dist/lib/modules $(sdcard)/lib
  sudo cp -r xenomai-3/dist/usr/xenomai $(sdcard)/usr
```

## Beaglebone Black 環境設置

使用舊版linux(Angstrom)來做測試,核心編譯步驟參考上面步驟 或 http://elinux.org/EBC_Installing_Kernel_Source

* 下載Kernel Source & 編譯
```
  host$ git clone git://github.com/RobertCNelson/bb-kernel.git
  host$ cd bb-kernel
  host$ git tag  (This shows what versions can be checked out.)
  host$ git checkout 3.8.13-bone67 -b 3.8.13-bone67
```

* 預設username/password
```
  host$ ./build_kernel.sh
  username:root
```

* 設定cross compile

在Kernel Configuration中選擇General setup,輸入
```
  CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi-
```

* 安裝必要套件
```
  sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get install build-essential device-tree-compiler fakeroot lzma lzop u-boot-tools   libncurses5-dev:amd64 libc6:i386 libncurses5:i386 libstdc++6:i386 zlib1g:i386
```

* 完成上述步驟後即可上電,按 boot select button 讓它從 sd card 開機,開機後進入登入畫面,帳號/密碼寫在上面

* 登入後查詢版本
```
  sudo su
  uname -a
```

```

* 確認已經關掉AUTO_BUILD
```
  vi system.sh
```

* 確認最後一行為
```
  #AUTO_BUILD=1
```

* 關掉 CPU Power Management ---> CPU Frequency scaling中的 [ ] CPU Frequency scaling.

* 將Real-time sub-system ---> Drivers ---> Testing drivers中的選項全部打開
```
 cd ../../bb-kernel/KERNEL
 make ARCH=arm menuconfig
```

* 再重新編譯
```
  make -j8 ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi- LOADADDR=0x80008000 uImage dtbs modules
```

* 編譯完後將 SD 卡內的 Kernel 換掉
```
  mkdir sd
```

* 掛載 sd 卡

* 確認掛載的目錄內一定要有這些路徑
```
  sudo mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 sd
  sudo cp beagle-kernel/kernel/arch/arm/boot/uImage sd/boot/uImage-3.8.13
  cd beagle-kernel/kernel
  sudo make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi- INSTALL_MOD_PATH=$BBB/sd modules_install

```
* 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。

```
     pi@raspberrypi:~$ sudo kill 2254

     [1]+  Done                    sudo /usr/xenomai/bin/cyclictest > /dev/null 2> /dev/null

     pi@raspberrypi:~$ sudo /usr/xenomai/bin/cyclictest -p FIFO >/dev/null 2>/dev/null &
```

* 在我們了解MSW時,嘗試了在-p後面加上了文字(如:FIFO、RR……)  

* 發現MSV的值開始往上增加,也發現一開始對於MSW的定義理解錯誤

* 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

* 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; 
     }
```

T:thread

P:priority

I:interval

C:執行cycle數

Min:最小延遲

Act:此次延遲時間

Avg:平均延遲

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.
