Ideal Uniprocessor Scheduler Properties

This file establishes facts about the reference model of a priority- and preemption-model-aware ideal uniprocessor scheduler.
Consider any type of jobs with costs and arrival times, ...
  Context {Job : JobType} {JC : JobCost Job} {JA : JobArrival Job}.

... in the context of an ideal uniprocessor model.
Suppose we are given a valid arrival sequence of such jobs, ...
... a non-clairvoyant readiness model, ...
... a preemption model, ...
  Context `{JobPreemptable Job}.

... and reflexive, total, and transitive JLDP priority policy.
Consider the schedule generated by the preemption-policy- and priority-aware ideal uniprocessor scheduler...
...and assume that the preemption model is consistent with the readiness model.
First, we note that the priority-aware job selection policy obviously maintains work-conservation.
Second, we similarly note that schedule validity is also maintained.
Third, the schedule respects also the preemption model semantics.
  Section PreemptionCompliance.

Suppose that every job in arr_seq adheres to the basic validity requirement that jobs must start execution to become nonpreemptive.
    Hypothesis H_valid_preemption_function :
       j,
        arrives_in arr_seq j
        job_cannot_become_nonpreemptive_before_execution j.

Since uni_schedule arr_seq is an instance of np_uni_schedule, the compliance of schedule with the preemption model follows trivially from the compliance of np_uni_schedule.
Now we proceed to the main property of the priority-aware scheduler: in the following section we establish that uni_schedule arr_seq is compliant with the given priority policy whenever jobs are preemptable.
  Section Priority.

For notational convenience, recall the definitions of the job-selection policy and a prefix of the schedule based on which the next decision is made.
To start, we observe that, at preemption times, the scheduled job is a supremum w.r.t. to the priority order and the set of backlogged jobs.
    Lemma scheduled_job_is_supremum:
       j t,
        scheduled_at schedule j t
        preemption_time arr_seq schedule t
        supremum (hep_job_at t) (jobs_backlogged_at arr_seq (prefix t) t) = Some j.

From the preceding facts, we conclude that uni_schedule arr_seq respects the priority policy at preemption times.
