建立環境
==============================
* Install Cross complier

.. code-block:: c

    cd <working dir>
    wget https://github.com/raspberrypi/tools/archive/master.tar.gz
    tar xzf master.tar.gz

* Download source files and patches
  - Download kernel

  .. code-block:: c

      git clone -b rpi-3.8.y --depth 1 git://github.com/raspberrypi/linux.git linux-rpi-3.8.y
  - Download Xenomai 

  .. code-block:: c

      git clone git://git.xenomai.org/xenomai-head.git xenomai-head
  - Download minimal config 

  .. code-block:: c

      wget https://www.dropbox.com/s/dcju74md5sz45at/rpi_xenomai_config

* Apply patches

  - Apply ipipe core pre-patch

  .. 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

  - Apply Xenomai ipipe core patch 

  .. code-block:: c

    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

  - Apply ipipe core post-patch 

  .. code-block:: c

    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

  - Create build directory 

  .. code-block:: c

    mkdir linux-rpi-3.8.y/build

  - Configure kernel

  .. code-block:: c

    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 

  .. code-block:: c

    make ARCH=arm O=build CROSS_COMPILE=../../tools-master/arm-bcm2708/arm-bcm2708hardfp-linux-gnueabi/bin/arm-bcm2708hardfp-linux-gnueabi-
   
  - Install modules

  .. code-block:: c

    make ARCH=arm O=build INSTALL_MOD_PATH=dist modules_install

  - Install headers

  .. code-block:: c

    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,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

  .. code-block:: c
    

  - Xenomai

  .. 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

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

  在raspberry pi中

  .. code-block:: c

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

   接著就能跑使用xenomai機制的cyclictest

  - RT_preempt


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

* Hard Real Time

 系統一定可以在 Response Time 內完成指定的task

* Soft Real Time

 在特定的機率下,系統可以在 Response Time 內完成指定的task

作業系統架構
===========

.. image:: /xenoarch2.jpg

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

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

  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

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

  可以找到ipipe_raise_irq()將interrupt推到pipeline

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


iPipe
++++++++++++++

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

* 相關檔案︰

  - gic.c : 
       
      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.

  - it8152.c:IRQ相關

  - timer-sp.c:dual timer module(sp804)

  - 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.

  - ipipe-tsc.c:設定精準度(刻度)

  - ipipe/compat.c:interrupt

  - sched/clock.c:取得cpu_clock 解析度為nanasecond,開機後從0開始上數


HAL
++++++++++++

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。


Nucleus
++++++++++++

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

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

Skins ( posix )

Skins
++++++++++++

呼叫xenomai的界面, 有native rtdm posix等。

問題
++++++++++++

與 RT-PREEMPT 途徑的差異?



實作
==================


Context switch

.. code-block:: prettyprint

    ksrc/arch/arm/switch.S
    /*
    /*

     *   r10=sl stack limit/variable register
     *   r11=fp frame pointer/variable register
     *   r12=ip intra-procedure-call scratch register

Timer

    - sched-sporadic.c

xnpod

.. code-block:: prettyprint

    struct xnpod {

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

    xnsched_t sched[XNARCH_NR_CPUS];	/*!< Per-cpu scheduler slots. */

    xnqueue_t threadq;	/*!< All existing threads. */

    struct xnvfile_rev_tag threadlist_tag;
    #endif
    xnqueue_t tstartq,	/*!< Thread start hook queue. */
    tswitchq,		/*!< Thread switch hook queue. */
    tdeleteq;		/*!< Thread delete hook queue. */

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

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

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

    };


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

* 使用 PREEMPT LINUX

.. code-block:: prettyprint

    root@raspberrypi:/home/pi# sudo ./cyclictest -t1 -p 80 -i 500 -l 100000
    # /dev/cpu_dma_latency set to 0us
    policy: fifo: loadavg: 0.00 0.01 0.05 1/61 2064          
    T: 0 ( 2063) P:80 I:500 C: 100000 Min:     27 Act:   49 Avg:   42 Max:    1060

* 使用 RT-PREEMPT

.. code-block:: prettyprint

    Linux raspberrypi 3.6.11+ #474 PREEMPT Thu Jun 13 17:14:42 BST 2013 armv6l GNU/Linux
    Min:     22 Act:   31 Avg:   32 Max:     169

* 使用 Xenomai

.. code-block:: prettyprint

    Linux raspberrypi 3.8.13-core+ #1 Thu Feb 27 03:02:16 CST 2014 armv6l GNU/Linux
    Min:      1 Act:    5 Avg:    6 Max:      41

.. code-block:: prettyprint

    root@raspberrypi:/home/pi# /usr/xenomai/bin/cyclictest -t1 -p 80 -i 500 -l 10000 
    0.08 0.06 0.05 1/61 2060          
    T: 0 ( 2060) P:80 I:     500 C:  100000 Min:      -4 Act:      -2 Avg:       0 Max:      30

* cyclictest 做法

概念:
    取得現在時間接著讓process睡一個間隔
    等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:

.. code-block:: prettyprint

    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:

    timer精準度

    interrupt latency

    interrupt handler duration

    scheduler latency

    scheduler duration

    context switch
