Real Time 的定義

  • Soft Real Time

    根據 Scheduling 的結果執行任務。

  • 95% Hard Real Time

    系統至少有 95% 在指定時間內完成任務。

  • 100% Hard Real Time

    系統能 100% 在指定時間內完成任務。

  • Safe Real Time

    系統能 100% 在指定時間內完成任務。

作業系統架構

.. image:: /embedded/xenomai/xenomai_arch.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

在api呼叫上可以看到不同層級的抽象化

ipipe_XXX -> rthal_XXX -> xnXXX

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

.. image:: /embedded/xenomai/adeos.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.

      功能為提供一個programable的介面讓使用者設定

    • 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nanosecond,開機後從0開始上數

.. image:: /embedded/xenomai/cpu_distribute.jpg

GIC大約是上圖的distributor的位置

VIC則是CPU interface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 ++++++++++++

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

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

.. image:: /embedded/xenomai/xenomai_sched.jpg

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

呼叫xenomai的界面, 有native rtdm posix等。

問題 ++++++++++++

與 RT-PREEMPT 途徑的差異?

  • RT-PREEMPT 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

    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

  • RT_PREEMPT 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

觀察與分析

  • 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:

    .. 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
  • Cyclictest 實作流程

    1.cyclictest建立一個timerthread, 它一個 realtime 的 thread

    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

    3.最後將結果輸出在terminal

  • 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

    .. code-block:: prettyprint

    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);
