Documentation/rv: Add docs for the sched monitors
Add man page and kernel documentation for the sched monitors, as sched is a container of other monitors, document all in the same page. sched is the first nested monitor, also explain what is a nested monitor and how enabling containers or children monitors work.

SYNOPSIS
|
||||
========
|
||||
|
||||
**rv mon sched** [*OPTIONS*]
|
||||
|
||||
**rv mon <NESTED_MONITOR>** [*OPTIONS*]
|
||||
|
||||
**rv mon sched:<NESTED_MONITOR>** [*OPTIONS*]
|
||||
|
||||
DESCRIPTION
|
||||
===========
|
||||
|
||||
The scheduler monitor collection is a container for several monitors to model
|
||||
the behaviour of the scheduler. Each monitor describes a specification that
|
||||
the scheduler should follow.
|
||||
|
||||
As a monitor container, it will enable all nested monitors and set them
|
||||
according to OPTIONS.
|
||||
Nevertheless nested monitors can also be activated independently both by name
|
||||
and by specifying sched: , e.g. to enable only monitor tss you can do any of:
|
||||
|
||||
# rv mon sched:tss
|
||||
|
||||
# rv mon tss
|
||||
|
||||
See kernel documentation for further information about this monitor:
|
||||
<https://docs.kernel.org/trace/rv/monitor_sched.html>

||||

||||

|

|

NESTED MONITOR
|
||||
==============
|
||||
|
||||
The available nested monitors are:
|
||||
* scpd: schedule called with preemption disabled
|
||||
* snep: schedule does not enable preempt
|
||||
* sncid: schedule not called with interrupt disabled
|
||||
* snroc: set non runnable on its own context
|
||||
* sco: scheduling context operations
|
||||
* tss: task switch while scheduling
|
||||

||||

Scheduler monitors
|
||||
==================
|
||||
|
||||
- Name: sched
|
||||
- Type: container for multiple monitors
|
||||

||||
Description
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
|
||||
Monitors describing complex systems, such as the scheduler, can easily grow to
|
||||
the point where they are just hard to understand because of the many possible
|
||||
state transitions.
|
||||
Often it is possible to break such descriptions into smaller monitors,
|
||||
sharing some or all events. Enabling those smaller monitors concurrently is,
|
||||
in fact, testing the system as if we had one single larger monitor.
|
||||
Splitting models into multiple specification is not only easier to
|
||||
understand, but gives some more clues when we see errors.
|
||||
|
||||
The sched monitor is a set of specifications to describe the scheduler behaviour.
|
||||
It includes several per-cpu and per-task monitors that work independently to verify
|
||||
different specifications the scheduler should follow.
|
||||
|
||||
To make this system as straightforward as possible, sched specifications are *nested*
|
||||
monitors, whereas sched itself is a *container*.
|
||||
From the interface perspective, sched includes other monitors as sub-directories,
|
||||
enabling/disabling or setting reactors to sched, propagates the change to all monitors,
|
||||
however single monitors can be used independently as well.
|
||||
|
||||
It is important that future modules are built after their container (sched, in
|
||||
this case), otherwise the linker would not respect the order and the nesting
|
||||
wouldn't work as expected.
|
||||
To do so, simply add them after sched in the Makefile.
|
||||
|
||||
Specifications
|
||||
--------------
|
||||
|
||||
The specifications included in sched are currently a work in progress, adapting the ones
|
||||
defined in by Daniel Bristot in [1].
|
||||
|
||||
Currently we included the following:
|
||||
|
||||
Monitor tss
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
The task switch while scheduling (tss) monitor ensures a task switch happens
|
||||
only in scheduling context, that is inside a call to `__schedule`::
|
||||

||||

||||

sched_switch |
|

| sched |
|
||||
+--------------> -+
|
||||
|
||||
Monitor sco
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
The scheduling context operations (sco) monitor ensures changes in a task state
|
||||
happen only in thread context::
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
|
||||
|
|
||||
v
|

sched_set_state +------------------+

|
|
||||
scheduling_context -+
|
||||
|
||||
Monitor snroc
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
The set non runnable on its own context (snroc) monitor ensures changes in a
|
||||
task state happens only in the respective task's context. This is a per-task
|
||||
monitor::
|
||||
|
||||
|
|
||||
|
|
||||
v
|

+------------------+

|
||||
|
||||
Monitor scpd
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
The schedule called with preemption disabled (scpd) monitor ensures schedule is
|
||||
called with preemption disabled::
|
||||
|
||||
|
|
||||
|
|
||||
v
|
||||
+------------------+

schedule_entry |
|
||||
schedule_exit |
|
||||
+----------------- can_sched |
|
||||
| |
|
||||
+----------------> -+
|
||||
|
||||
Monitor snep
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
The schedule does not enable preempt (snep) monitor ensures a schedule call
|
||||
does not enable preemption::
|
||||
|
||||
|
|
||||
|
|
||||
v
|
||||
preempt_disable +------------------------+
|
||||
preempt_enable | |

|
|
||||
scheduling_contex -+
|
||||
|
||||
Monitor sncid
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
The schedule not called with interrupt disabled (sncid) monitor ensures
|
||||
schedule is not called with interrupt disabled::
|
||||
|
||||
|
|
||||
|
|
||||
v
|
||||
schedule_entry +--------------+
