    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

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 ++++++++++++

呼叫xenomai的界面, 有native rtdm posix等。

問題 ++++++++++++

與 RT-PREEMPT 途徑的差異?

實作

Cyclictest +++++++++++

  • 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:

    .. 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 }

  • 造成時間差的原因

    • timer精準度
    • IRQ latency
    • IRQ handler duration
    • scheduler latency
    • scheduler duration
  • 實作流程

    • 在main中會使用skin(posix)的systime call

    • 建立一個thread叫timerthread,timerthread主要做的事情是呼叫clock_nanosleep這個function

    .. code-block:: prettyprint

      int clock_nanosleep(clockid_t clock_id,
    
                      int flags,

      }

    clock_nanosleep主要用的api有下面幾個

    • xnpod_current_thread

    .. code-block:: prettyprint

    #define xnpod_current_thread() \
    
      (xnpod_current_sched()->curr)
    
    #define xnpod_current_sched() \
    
      xnpod_sched_slot(xnarch_current_cpu())
    
    #define xnpod_sched_slot(cpu) \
    
      (&nkpod->sched[cpu])      //可以發現最後取得的東西是&nkpod->sched[current_cpu]->curr
    • xnarch_current_cpu

    .. code-block:: prettyprint

    static inline unsigned xnarch_current_cpu(void)
    {
          return rthal_processor_id();    //xnarch東西跟平台有關 因此會接到rthal這個abstraction layout
    }
    • rthal_processor_id()

    .. code-block:: prettyprint

    #difine rthal_processor_id() ipipe_processor_id()
    #define ipipe_processor_id()  (0) //因為rapsberry pi只有一顆cpu 沒有SMP 所以會是使用這個macro

    在這邊就能看到關於硬體的會從xnarch -> rthal -> ipipe

    • xnlock_get_irqsave

    .. code-block:: prettyprint

    #define xnlock_get_irqsave(lock,x) \
          ((x) = __xnlock_get_irqsave(lock  XNLOCK_DBG_CONTEXT))
    static inline spl_t

          rthal_local_irq_save(flags);
    
          if (__xnlock_get(lock /*, */ XNLOCK_DBG_PASS_CONTEXT))
    
                  flags |= 2;        /* Recursive acquisition */
    
          return flags;
    
    }
    • rthal_local_irq_save

    .. code-block:: prettyprint

    #define rthal_local_irq_save(x) ((x) = ipipe_test_and_stall_pipeline_head() & 1)
    
    static inline unsigned long ipipe_test_and_stall_pipeline_head(void)

    }

    {
          hard_local_irq_disable();

  • 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。
