RTA for Fully Preemptive FP Scheduling on Uniprocessors under the Periodic Resource Model

In the following, we derive a response-time analysis for FP schedulers, assuming a workload of fully preemptive sporadic real-time tasks, characterized by arbitrary arrival curves, executing upon a uniprocessor under the periodic resource model (see "Periodic Resource Model for Compositional Real-Time Guarantees" by Shin & Lee, RTSS 2003). To this end, we instantiate the sequential variant of abstract Restricted-Supply Analysis (aRSA) as provided in the prosa.analysis.abstract.restricted_supply module.

Defining the System Model

Before any formal claims can be stated, an initial setup is needed to define the system model under consideration. To this end, we next introduce and define the following notions using Prosa's standard definitions and behavioral semantics:
  • tasks, jobs, and their parameters,
  • the task set and the task under analysis,
  • the processor model,
  • the sequence of job arrivals,
  • the absence of self-suspensions,
  • an arbitrary schedule of the task set, and finally,
  • the resource-supply model.

Tasks and Jobs

Consider tasks characterized by a WCET task_cost and an arrival curve max_arrivals, ...
  Context {Task : TaskType} `{TaskCost Task} `{MaxArrivals Task}.

... and their associated jobs, where each job has a corresponding task job_task, an execution time job_cost, and an arrival time job_arrival.
  Context {Job : JobType} `{JobTask Job Task} `{JobCost Job} `{JobArrival Job}.

Furthermore, assume that jobs and tasks are fully preemptive.

  #[local] Existing Instance fully_preemptive_task_model.
  #[local] Existing Instance fully_preemptive_rtc_threshold.

The Task Set and the Task Under Analysis

Consider an arbitrary task set ts, and ...
  Variable ts : seq Task.

... let tsk be any task in ts that is to be analyzed.
  Variable tsk : Task.
  Hypothesis H_tsk_in_ts : tsk \in ts.

Processor Model

Consider any kind of fully-supply-consuming, unit-supply processor state model.

The Job Arrival Sequence

Allow for any possible arrival sequence arr_seq consistent with the parameters of the task set ts. That is, arr_seq is a valid arrival sequence in which each job's cost is upper-bounded by its task's WCET, every job stems from a task in ts, and the number of arrivals respects each task's max_arrivals bound.

Absence of Self-Suspensions

We assume the classic (i.e., Liu & Layland) model of readiness without jitter or self-suspensions, wherein pending jobs are always ready.
  #[local] Existing Instance basic_ready_instance.

The Schedule

Consider an arbitrary fixed-priority policy FP that indicates a higher-or-equal priority relation among the tasks in ts, and assume that the relation is reflexive and transitive.
Consider a work-conserving, valid uniprocessor schedule that corresponds to the given arrival sequence arr_seq (and hence the given task set ts).
We assume that the schedule respects the given FP scheduling policy.
Furthermore, we require that the schedule ensures that jobs of the same task are executed in the order of their arrival.

Periodic Resource Model

Assume that the processor supply follows the *periodic resource model* as defined in "Periodic Resource Model for Compositional Real-Time Guarantees" by Shin & Lee (RTSS 2003). Under this model, the supply is distributed periodically with a resource period Π and a resource allocation time γ: in every interval [Π⋅k, Π⋅(k+1)), the processor provides at least γ units of supply. Furthermore, let prm_sbf Π γ denote the corresponding SBF defined in the paper, which, as proven in the same paper and verified in prosa.analysis.facts.model.sbf.periodic, is a valid SBF.

Maximum Length of a Busy Interval

In order to apply aRSA, we require a bound on the maximum busy-window length. To this end, let L be any positive solution of the busy-interval "recurrence" (i.e., inequality) prm_sbf Π γ L total_hep_rbf L, as defined below.
As the lemma busy_intervals_are_bounded_rs_fp shows, under FP scheduling, this condition is sufficient to guarantee that the maximum busy-window length is at most L, i.e., the length of any busy interval is bounded by L.

Response-Time Bound

Having established all necessary preliminaries, it is finally time to state the claimed response-time bound R.
A value R is a response-time bound for task tsk if, for any given offset A in the search space (w.r.t. the busy-window bound L), the response-time bound "recurrence" (i.e., inequality) has a solution F not exceeding A + R.
  Definition rta_recurrence_solution L R :=
     (A : duration),
      is_in_search_space tsk L A
       (F : duration),
        prm_sbf Π γ F task_request_bound_function tsk (A + ε)
                        + total_ohep_request_bound_function_FP ts tsk F
         A + R F.

Finally, using the sequential variant of abstract restricted-supply analysis, we establish that, given a bound on the maximum busy-window length L, any such R is indeed a sound response-time bound for task tsk under fully-preemptive fixed-priority scheduling on a unit-speed uniprocessor under the periodic resource model.
