59 | .. index:: task, definition |
---|
60 | |
---|
61 | Task Definition |
---|
62 | --------------- |
---|
63 | |
---|
64 | Many definitions of a task have been proposed in computer literature. |
---|
65 | Unfortunately, none of these definitions encompasses all facets of the concept |
---|
66 | in a manner which is operating system independent. Several of the more common |
---|
67 | definitions are provided to enable each user to select a definition which best |
---|
68 | matches their own experience and understanding of the task concept: |
---|
69 | |
---|
70 | - a "dispatchable" unit. |
---|
71 | |
---|
72 | - an entity to which the processor is allocated. |
---|
73 | |
---|
74 | - an atomic unit of a real-time, multiprocessor system. |
---|
75 | |
---|
76 | - single threads of execution which concurrently compete for resources. |
---|
77 | |
---|
78 | - a sequence of closely related computations which can execute concurrently |
---|
79 | with other computational sequences. |
---|
80 | |
---|
81 | From RTEMS' perspective, a task is the smallest thread of execution which can |
---|
82 | compete on its own for system resources. A task is manifested by the existence |
---|
83 | of a task control block (TCB). |
---|
84 | |
---|
85 | Task Control Block |
---|
86 | ------------------ |
---|
87 | |
---|
88 | The Task Control Block (TCB) is an RTEMS defined data structure which contains |
---|
89 | all the information that is pertinent to the execution of a task. During |
---|
90 | system initialization, RTEMS reserves a TCB for each task configured. A TCB is |
---|
91 | allocated upon creation of the task and is returned to the TCB free list upon |
---|
92 | deletion of the task. |
---|
93 | |
---|
94 | The TCB's elements are modified as a result of system calls made by the |
---|
95 | application in response to external and internal stimuli. TCBs are the only |
---|
96 | RTEMS internal data structure that can be accessed by an application via user |
---|
97 | extension routines. The TCB contains a task's name, ID, current priority, |
---|
98 | current and starting states, execution mode, TCB user extension pointer, |
---|
99 | scheduling control structures, as well as data required by a blocked task. |
---|
100 | |
---|
101 | A task's context is stored in the TCB when a task switch occurs. When the task |
---|
102 | regains control of the processor, its context is restored from the TCB. When a |
---|
103 | task is restarted, the initial state of the task is restored from the starting |
---|
104 | context area in the task's TCB. |
---|
105 | |
---|
106 | .. index:: task name |
---|
107 | |
---|
108 | Task Name |
---|
109 | --------- |
---|
110 | |
---|
111 | By default, the task name is defined by the task object name given to |
---|
112 | :ref:`rtems_task_create() <rtems_task_create>`. The task name can be obtained |
---|
113 | with the `pthread_getname_np() |
---|
114 | <http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/pthread_setname_np.3.html>`_ function. |
---|
115 | Optionally, a new task name may be set with the `pthread_setname_np() |
---|
116 | <http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/pthread_setname_np.3.html>`_ function. |
---|
117 | The maximum size of a task name is defined by the application configuration |
---|
118 | option :ref:`CONFIGURE_MAXIMUM_THREAD_NAME_SIZE |
---|
119 | <CONFIGURE_MAXIMUM_THREAD_NAME_SIZE>`. |
---|
120 | |
---|
121 | .. index:: task states |
---|
122 | |
---|
123 | Task States |
---|
124 | ----------- |
---|
125 | |
---|
126 | A task may exist in one of the following five states: |
---|
127 | |
---|
128 | - *executing* - Currently scheduled to the CPU |
---|
129 | |
---|
130 | - *ready* - May be scheduled to the CPU |
---|
131 | |
---|
132 | - *blocked* - Unable to be scheduled to the CPU |
---|
133 | |
---|
134 | - *dormant* - Created task that is not started |
---|
135 | |
---|
136 | - *non-existent* - Uncreated or deleted task |
---|
137 | |
---|
138 | An active task may occupy the executing, ready, blocked or dormant state, |
---|
139 | otherwise the task is considered non-existent. One or more tasks may be active |
---|
140 | in the system simultaneously. Multiple tasks communicate, synchronize, and |
---|
141 | compete for system resources with each other via system calls. The multiple |
---|
142 | tasks appear to execute in parallel, but actually each is dispatched to the CPU |
---|
143 | for periods of time determined by the RTEMS scheduling algorithm. The |
---|
144 | scheduling of a task is based on its current state and priority. |
---|
145 | |
---|
146 | .. index:: task priority |
---|
147 | .. index:: priority, task |
---|
148 | .. index:: rtems_task_priority |
---|
149 | |
---|
150 | Task Priority |
---|
151 | ------------- |
---|
152 | |
---|
153 | A task's priority determines its importance in relation to the other tasks |
---|
154 | executing on the same processor. RTEMS supports 255 levels of priority ranging |
---|
155 | from 1 to 255. The data type ``rtems_task_priority`` is used to store task |
---|
156 | priorities. |
---|
157 | |
---|
158 | Tasks of numerically smaller priority values are more important tasks than |
---|
159 | tasks of numerically larger priority values. For example, a task at priority |
---|
160 | level 5 is of higher privilege than a task at priority level 10. There is no |
---|
161 | limit to the number of tasks assigned to the same priority. |
---|
162 | |
---|
163 | Each task has a priority associated with it at all times. The initial value of |
---|
164 | this priority is assigned at task creation time. The priority of a task may be |
---|
165 | changed at any subsequent time. |
---|
166 | |
---|
167 | Priorities are used by the scheduler to determine which ready task will be |
---|
168 | allowed to execute. In general, the higher the logical priority of a task, the |
---|
169 | more likely it is to receive processor execution time. |
---|
170 | |
---|
171 | .. index:: task mode |
---|
172 | .. index:: rtems_task_mode |
---|
173 | |
---|
174 | Task Mode |
---|
175 | --------- |
---|
176 | |
---|
177 | A task's execution mode is a combination of the following four components: |
---|
178 | |
---|
179 | - preemption |
---|
180 | |
---|
181 | - ASR processing |
---|
182 | |
---|
183 | - timeslicing |
---|
184 | |
---|
185 | - interrupt level |
---|
186 | |
---|
187 | It is used to modify RTEMS' scheduling process and to alter the execution |
---|
188 | environment of the task. The data type ``rtems_task_mode`` is used to manage |
---|
189 | the task execution mode. |
---|
190 | |
---|
191 | .. index:: preemption |
---|
192 | |
---|
193 | The preemption component allows a task to determine when control of the |
---|
194 | processor is relinquished. If preemption is disabled (``RTEMS_NO_PREEMPT``), |
---|
195 | the task will retain control of the processor as long as it is in the executing |
---|
196 | state - even if a higher priority task is made ready. If preemption is enabled |
---|
197 | (``RTEMS_PREEMPT``) and a higher priority task is made ready, then the |
---|
198 | processor will be taken away from the current task immediately and given to the |
---|
199 | higher priority task. |
---|
200 | |
---|
201 | .. index:: timeslicing |
---|
202 | |
---|
203 | The timeslicing component is used by the RTEMS scheduler to determine how the |
---|
204 | processor is allocated to tasks of equal priority. If timeslicing is enabled |
---|
205 | (``RTEMS_TIMESLICE``), then RTEMS will limit the amount of time the task can |
---|
206 | execute before the processor is allocated to another ready task of equal |
---|
207 | priority. The length of the timeslice is application dependent and specified in |
---|
208 | the Configuration Table. If timeslicing is disabled (``RTEMS_NO_TIMESLICE``), |
---|
209 | then the task will be allowed to execute until a task of higher priority is |
---|
210 | made ready. If ``RTEMS_NO_PREEMPT`` is selected, then the timeslicing component |
---|
211 | is ignored by the scheduler. |
---|
212 | |
---|
213 | The asynchronous signal processing component is used to determine when received |
---|
214 | signals are to be processed by the task. If signal processing is enabled |
---|
215 | (``RTEMS_ASR``), then signals sent to the task will be processed the next time |
---|
216 | the task executes. If signal processing is disabled (``RTEMS_NO_ASR``), then |
---|
217 | all signals received by the task will remain posted until signal processing is |
---|
218 | enabled. This component affects only tasks which have established a routine to |
---|
219 | process asynchronous signals. |
---|
220 | |
---|
221 | .. index:: interrupt level, task |
---|
222 | |
---|
223 | The interrupt level component is used to determine which interrupts will be |
---|
224 | enabled when the task is executing. ``RTEMS_INTERRUPT_LEVEL(n)`` specifies that |
---|
225 | the task will execute at interrupt level n. |
---|
226 | |
---|
227 | .. list-table:: |
---|
228 | :class: rtems-table |
---|
229 | |
---|
230 | * - ``RTEMS_PREEMPT`` |
---|
231 | - enable preemption (default) |
---|
232 | * - ``RTEMS_NO_PREEMPT`` |
---|
233 | - disable preemption |
---|
234 | * - ``RTEMS_NO_TIMESLICE`` |
---|
235 | - disable timeslicing (default) |
---|
236 | * - ``RTEMS_TIMESLICE`` |
---|
237 | - enable timeslicing |
---|
238 | * - ``RTEMS_ASR`` |
---|
239 | - enable ASR processing (default) |
---|
240 | * - ``RTEMS_NO_ASR`` |
---|
241 | - disable ASR processing |
---|
242 | * - ``RTEMS_INTERRUPT_LEVEL(0)`` |
---|
243 | - enable all interrupts (default) |
---|
244 | * - ``RTEMS_INTERRUPT_LEVEL(n)`` |
---|
245 | - execute at interrupt level n |
---|
246 | |
---|
247 | The set of default modes may be selected by specifying the |
---|
248 | ``RTEMS_DEFAULT_MODES`` constant. |

252 | |
---|
253 | Accessing Task Arguments |
---|
254 | ------------------------ |
---|
255 | |
---|
256 | All RTEMS tasks are invoked with a single argument which is specified when they |
---|
257 | are started or restarted. The argument is commonly used to communicate startup |
---|
258 | information to the task. The simplest manner in which to define a task which |
---|
259 | accesses it argument is: |
---|
260 | |
---|
261 | .. index:: rtems_task |
---|
262 | |
---|
263 | .. code-block:: c |
---|
264 | |
---|
265 | rtems_task user_task( |
---|
266 | rtems_task_argument argument |
---|
267 | ); |
---|
268 | |
---|
269 | Application tasks requiring more information may view this single argument as |
---|
270 | an index into an array of parameter blocks. |
---|
271 | |
---|
272 | .. index:: floating point |
---|
273 | |
---|
274 | Floating Point Considerations |
---|
275 | ----------------------------- |
---|
276 | |
---|
277 | Creating a task with the ``RTEMS_FLOATING_POINT`` attribute flag results in |
---|
278 | additional memory being allocated for the TCB to store the state of the numeric |
---|
279 | coprocessor during task switches. This additional memory is *NOT* allocated for |
---|
280 | ``RTEMS_NO_FLOATING_POINT`` tasks. Saving and restoring the context of a |
---|
281 | ``RTEMS_FLOATING_POINT`` task takes longer than that of a |
---|
282 | ``RTEMS_NO_FLOATING_POINT`` task because of the relatively large amount of time |
---|
283 | required for the numeric coprocessor to save or restore its computational |
---|
284 | state. |
---|
285 | |
---|
286 | Since RTEMS was designed specifically for embedded military applications which |
---|
287 | are floating point intensive, the executive is optimized to avoid unnecessarily |
---|
288 | saving and restoring the state of the numeric coprocessor. The state of the |
---|
289 | numeric coprocessor is only saved when a ``RTEMS_FLOATING_POINT`` task is |
---|
290 | dispatched and that task was not the last task to utilize the coprocessor. In |
---|
291 | a system with only one ``RTEMS_FLOATING_POINT`` task, the state of the numeric |
---|
292 | coprocessor will never be saved or restored. |
---|
293 | |
---|
294 | Although the overhead imposed by ``RTEMS_FLOATING_POINT`` tasks is minimal, |
---|
295 | some applications may wish to completely avoid the overhead associated with |
---|
296 | ``RTEMS_FLOATING_POINT`` tasks and still utilize a numeric coprocessor. By |
---|
297 | preventing a task from being preempted while performing a sequence of floating |
---|
298 | point operations, a ``RTEMS_NO_FLOATING_POINT`` task can utilize the numeric |
---|
299 | coprocessor without incurring the overhead of a ``RTEMS_FLOATING_POINT`` |
---|
300 | context switch. This approach also avoids the allocation of a floating point |
---|
301 | context area. However, if this approach is taken by the application designer, |
---|
302 | NO tasks should be created as ``RTEMS_FLOATING_POINT`` tasks. Otherwise, the |
---|
303 | floating point context will not be correctly maintained because RTEMS assumes |
---|
304 | that the state of the numeric coprocessor will not be altered by |
---|
305 | ``RTEMS_NO_FLOATING_POINT`` tasks. |
---|
306 | |
---|
307 | If the supported processor type does not have hardware floating capabilities or |
---|
308 | a standard numeric coprocessor, RTEMS will not provide built-in support for |
---|
309 | hardware floating point on that processor. In this case, all tasks are |
---|
310 | considered ``RTEMS_NO_FLOATING_POINT`` whether created as |
---|
311 | ``RTEMS_FLOATING_POINT`` or ``RTEMS_NO_FLOATING_POINT`` tasks. A floating |
---|
312 | point emulation software library must be utilized for floating point |
---|
313 | operations. |
---|
314 | |
---|
315 | On some processors, it is possible to disable the floating point unit |
---|
316 | dynamically. If this capability is supported by the target processor, then |
---|
317 | RTEMS will utilize this capability to enable the floating point unit only for |
---|
318 | tasks which are created with the ``RTEMS_FLOATING_POINT`` attribute. The |
---|
319 | consequence of a ``RTEMS_NO_FLOATING_POINT`` task attempting to access the |
---|
320 | floating point unit is CPU dependent but will generally result in an exception |
---|
321 | condition. |
---|
322 | |
---|
323 | .. index:: task attributes, building |
---|
324 | |
---|
325 | Building a Task Attribute Set |
---|
326 | ----------------------------- |
---|
327 | |
---|
328 | In general, an attribute set is built by a bitwise OR of the desired |
---|
329 | components. The set of valid task attribute components is listed below: |
---|
330 | |
---|
331 | .. list-table:: |
---|
332 | :class: rtems-table |
---|
333 | |
---|
334 | * - ``RTEMS_NO_FLOATING_POINT`` |
---|
335 | - does not use coprocessor (default) |
---|
336 | * - ``RTEMS_FLOATING_POINT`` |
---|
337 | - uses numeric coprocessor |
---|
338 | * - ``RTEMS_LOCAL`` |
---|
339 | - local task (default) |
---|
340 | * - ``RTEMS_GLOBAL`` |
---|
341 | - global task |
---|
342 | |
---|
343 | Attribute values are specifically designed to be mutually exclusive, therefore |
---|
344 | bitwise OR and addition operations are equivalent as long as each attribute |
---|
345 | appears exactly once in the component list. A component listed as a default is |
---|
346 | not required to appear in the component list, although it is a good programming |
---|
347 | practice to specify default components. If all defaults are desired, then |
---|
348 | ``RTEMS_DEFAULT_ATTRIBUTES`` should be used. |
---|
349 | |
---|
350 | This example demonstrates the attribute_set parameter needed to create a local |
---|
351 | task which utilizes the numeric coprocessor. The attribute_set parameter could |
---|
352 | be ``RTEMS_FLOATING_POINT`` or ``RTEMS_LOCAL | RTEMS_FLOATING_POINT``. The |
---|
353 | attribute_set parameter can be set to ``RTEMS_FLOATING_POINT`` because |
---|
354 | ``RTEMS_LOCAL`` is the default for all created tasks. If the task were global |
---|
355 | and used the numeric coprocessor, then the attribute_set parameter would be |
---|
356 | ``RTEMS_GLOBAL | RTEMS_FLOATING_POINT``. |
---|
357 | |
---|
358 | .. index:: task mode, building |
---|
359 | |
---|
360 | Building a Mode and Mask |
---|
361 | ------------------------ |
---|
362 | |
---|
363 | In general, a mode and its corresponding mask is built by a bitwise OR of the |
---|
364 | desired components. The set of valid mode constants and each mode's |
---|
365 | corresponding mask constant is listed below: |
---|
366 | |
---|
367 | .. list-table:: |
---|
368 | :class: rtems-table |
---|
369 | |
---|
370 | * - ``RTEMS_PREEMPT`` |
---|
371 | - is masked by ``RTEMS_PREEMPT_MASK`` and enables preemption |
---|
372 | * - ``RTEMS_NO_PREEMPT`` |
---|
373 | - is masked by ``RTEMS_PREEMPT_MASK`` and disables preemption |
---|
374 | * - ``RTEMS_NO_TIMESLICE`` |
---|
375 | - is masked by ``RTEMS_TIMESLICE_MASK`` and disables timeslicing |
---|
376 | * - ``RTEMS_TIMESLICE`` |
---|
377 | - is masked by ``RTEMS_TIMESLICE_MASK`` and enables timeslicing |
---|
378 | * - ``RTEMS_ASR`` |
---|
379 | - is masked by ``RTEMS_ASR_MASK`` and enables ASR processing |
---|
380 | * - ``RTEMS_NO_ASR`` |
---|
381 | - is masked by ``RTEMS_ASR_MASK`` and disables ASR processing |
---|
382 | * - ``RTEMS_INTERRUPT_LEVEL(0)`` |
---|
383 | - is masked by ``RTEMS_INTERRUPT_MASK`` and enables all interrupts |
---|
384 | * - ``RTEMS_INTERRUPT_LEVEL(n)`` |
---|
385 | - is masked by ``RTEMS_INTERRUPT_MASK`` and sets interrupts level n |
---|
386 | |
---|
387 | Mode values are specifically designed to be mutually exclusive, therefore |
---|
388 | bitwise OR and addition operations are equivalent as long as each mode appears |
---|
389 | exactly once in the component list. A mode component listed as a default is |
---|
390 | not required to appear in the mode component list, although it is a good |
---|
391 | programming practice to specify default components. If all defaults are |
---|
392 | desired, the mode ``RTEMS_DEFAULT_MODES`` and the mask ``RTEMS_ALL_MODE_MASKS`` |
---|
393 | should be used. |
---|
394 | |
---|
395 | The following example demonstrates the mode and mask parameters used with the |
---|
396 | ``rtems_task_mode`` directive to place a task at interrupt level 3 and make it |
---|
397 | non-preemptible. The mode should be set to ``RTEMS_INTERRUPT_LEVEL(3) | |
---|
398 | RTEMS_NO_PREEMPT`` to indicate the desired preemption mode and interrupt level, |
---|
399 | while the mask parameter should be set to ``RTEMS_INTERRUPT_MASK | |
---|
400 | RTEMS_NO_PREEMPT_MASK`` to indicate that the calling task's interrupt level and |
---|
401 | preemption mode are being altered. |
---|
402 | |
---|
403 | Operations |
---|
404 | ========== |
---|
405 | |
---|
406 | Creating Tasks |
---|
407 | -------------- |
---|
408 | |
---|
409 | The ``rtems_task_create`` directive creates a task by allocating a task control |
---|
410 | block, assigning the task a user-specified name, allocating it a stack and |
---|
411 | floating point context area, setting a user-specified initial priority, setting |
---|
412 | a user-specified initial mode, and assigning it a task ID. Newly created tasks |
---|
413 | are initially placed in the dormant state. All RTEMS tasks execute in the most |
---|
414 | privileged mode of the processor. |
---|
415 | |
---|
416 | Obtaining Task IDs |
---|
417 | ------------------ |
---|
418 | |
---|
419 | When a task is created, RTEMS generates a unique task ID and assigns it to the |
---|
420 | created task until it is deleted. The task ID may be obtained by either of two |
---|
421 | methods. First, as the result of an invocation of the ``rtems_task_create`` |
---|
422 | directive, the task ID is stored in a user provided location. Second, the task |
---|
423 | ID may be obtained later using the ``rtems_task_ident`` directive. The task ID |
---|
424 | is used by other directives to manipulate this task. |
---|
425 | |
---|
426 | Starting and Restarting Tasks |
---|
427 | ----------------------------- |
---|
428 | |
---|
429 | The ``rtems_task_start`` directive is used to place a dormant task in the ready |
---|
430 | state. This enables the task to compete, based on its current priority, for |
---|
431 | the processor and other system resources. Any actions, such as suspension or |
---|
432 | change of priority, performed on a task prior to starting it are nullified when |
---|
433 | the task is started. |
---|
434 | |
---|
435 | With the ``rtems_task_start`` directive the user specifies the task's starting |
---|
436 | address and argument. The argument is used to communicate some startup |
---|
437 | information to the task. As part of this directive, RTEMS initializes the |
---|
438 | task's stack based upon the task's initial execution mode and start address. |
---|
439 | The starting argument is passed to the task in accordance with the target |
---|
440 | processor's calling convention. |
---|
441 | |
---|
442 | The ``rtems_task_restart`` directive restarts a task at its initial starting |
---|
443 | address with its original priority and execution mode, but with a possibly |
---|
444 | different argument. The new argument may be used to distinguish between the |
---|
445 | original invocation of the task and subsequent invocations. The task's stack |
---|
446 | and control block are modified to reflect their original creation values. |
---|
447 | Although references to resources that have been requested are cleared, |
---|
448 | resources allocated by the task are NOT automatically returned to RTEMS. A |
---|
449 | task cannot be restarted unless it has previously been started (i.e. dormant |
---|
450 | tasks cannot be restarted). All restarted tasks are placed in the ready state. |
---|
451 | |
---|
452 | Suspending and Resuming Tasks |
---|
453 | ----------------------------- |
---|
454 | |
---|
455 | The ``rtems_task_suspend`` directive is used to place either the caller or |
---|
456 | another task into a suspended state. The task remains suspended until a |
---|
457 | ``rtems_task_resume`` directive is issued. This implies that a task may be |
---|
458 | suspended as well as blocked waiting either to acquire a resource or for the |
---|
459 | expiration of a timer. |
---|
460 | |
---|
461 | The ``rtems_task_resume`` directive is used to remove another task from the |
---|
462 | suspended state. If the task is not also blocked, resuming it will place it in |
---|
463 | the ready state, allowing it to once again compete for the processor and |
---|
464 | resources. If the task was blocked as well as suspended, this directive clears |
---|
465 | the suspension and leaves the task in the blocked state. |
---|
466 | |
---|
467 | Suspending a task which is already suspended or resuming a task which is not |
---|
468 | suspended is considered an error. The ``rtems_task_is_suspended`` can be used |
---|
469 | to determine if a task is currently suspended. |
---|
470 | |
---|
471 | Delaying the Currently Executing Task |
---|
472 | ------------------------------------- |
---|
473 | |
---|
474 | The ``rtems_task_wake_after`` directive creates a sleep timer which allows a |
---|
475 | task to go to sleep for a specified interval. The task is blocked until the |
---|
476 | delay interval has elapsed, at which time the task is unblocked. A task |
---|
477 | calling the ``rtems_task_wake_after`` directive with a delay interval of |
---|
478 | ``RTEMS_YIELD_PROCESSOR`` ticks will yield the processor to any other ready |
---|
479 | task of equal or greater priority and remain ready to execute. |
---|
480 | |
---|
481 | The ``rtems_task_wake_when`` directive creates a sleep timer which allows a |
---|
482 | task to go to sleep until a specified date and time. The calling task is |
---|
483 | blocked until the specified date and time has occurred, at which time the task |
---|
484 | is unblocked. |
---|
485 | |
---|
486 | Changing Task Priority |
---|
487 | ---------------------- |
---|
488 | |
---|
489 | The ``rtems_task_set_priority`` directive is used to obtain or change the |
---|
490 | current priority of either the calling task or another task. If the new |
---|
491 | priority requested is ``RTEMS_CURRENT_PRIORITY`` or the task's actual priority, |
---|
492 | then the current priority will be returned and the task's priority will remain |
---|
493 | unchanged. If the task's priority is altered, then the task will be scheduled |
---|
494 | according to its new priority. |
---|
495 | |
---|
496 | The ``rtems_task_restart`` directive resets the priority of a task to its |
---|
497 | original value. |
---|
498 | |
---|
499 | Changing Task Mode |
---|
500 | ------------------ |
---|
501 | |
---|
502 | The ``rtems_task_mode`` directive is used to obtain or change the current |
---|
503 | execution mode of the calling task. A task's execution mode is used to enable |
---|
504 | preemption, timeslicing, ASR processing, and to set the task's interrupt level. |
---|
505 | |
---|
506 | The ``rtems_task_restart`` directive resets the mode of a task to its original |
---|
507 | value. |
---|
508 | |
---|
509 | Task Deletion |
---|
510 | ------------- |
---|
511 | |
---|
512 | RTEMS provides the ``rtems_task_delete`` directive to allow a task to delete |
---|
513 | itself or any other task. This directive removes all RTEMS references to the |
---|
514 | task, frees the task's control block, removes it from resource wait queues, and |
---|
515 | deallocates its stack as well as the optional floating point context. The |
---|
516 | task's name and ID become inactive at this time, and any subsequent references |
---|
517 | to either of them is invalid. In fact, RTEMS may reuse the task ID for another |
---|
518 | task which is created later in the application. |
---|
519 | |
---|
520 | Unexpired delay timers (i.e. those used by ``rtems_task_wake_after`` and |
---|
521 | ``rtems_task_wake_when``) and timeout timers associated with the task are |
---|
522 | automatically deleted, however, other resources dynamically allocated by the |
---|
523 | task are NOT automatically returned to RTEMS. Therefore, before a task is |
---|
524 | deleted, all of its dynamically allocated resources should be deallocated by |
---|
525 | the user. This may be accomplished by instructing the task to delete itself |
---|
526 | rather than directly deleting the task. Other tasks may instruct a task to |
---|
527 | delete itself by sending a "delete self" message, event, or signal, or by |
---|
528 | restarting the task with special arguments which instruct the task to delete |
---|
529 | itself. |
---|
530 | |
---|
531 | Setting Affinity to a Single Processor |
---|
532 | -------------------------------------- |
---|
533 | |
---|
534 | On some embedded applications targeting SMP systems, it may be beneficial to |
---|
535 | lock individual tasks to specific processors. In this way, one can designate a |
---|
536 | processor for I/O tasks, another for computation, etc.. The following |
---|
537 | illustrates the code sequence necessary to assign a task an affinity for |
---|
538 | processor with index ``processor_index``. |
---|
539 | |
---|
540 | .. code-block:: c |
---|
541 | |
---|
542 | #include <rtems.h> |
---|
543 | #include <assert.h> |
---|
544 | |
---|
545 | void pin_to_processor(rtems_id task_id, int processor_index) |
---|
546 | { |
---|
547 | rtems_status_code sc; |
---|
548 | cpu_set_t cpuset; |
---|
549 | CPU_ZERO(&cpuset); |
---|
550 | CPU_SET(processor_index, &cpuset); |
---|
551 | sc = rtems_task_set_affinity(task_id, sizeof(cpuset), &cpuset); |
---|
552 | assert(sc == RTEMS_SUCCESSFUL); |
---|
553 | } |
---|
554 | |
---|
555 | It is important to note that the ``cpuset`` is not validated until the |
---|
556 | ``rtems_task_set_affinity`` call is made. At that point, it is validated |
---|
557 | against the current system configuration. |

562 | Transition Advice for Obsolete Notepads |
---|
563 | --------------------------------------- |
---|
564 | |
---|
565 | Task notepads and the associated directives :ref:`rtems_task_get_note` and |
---|
566 | :ref:`rtems_task_set_note` were removed in RTEMS 5.1. These were never |
---|
567 | thread-safe to access and subject to conflicting use of the notepad index by |
---|
568 | libraries which were designed independently. |
---|
569 | |
---|
570 | It is recommended that applications be modified to use services which are |
---|
571 | thread safe and not subject to issues with multiple applications conflicting |
---|
572 | over the key (e.g. notepad index) selection. For most applications, POSIX Keys |
---|
573 | should be used. These are available in all RTEMS build configurations. It is |
---|
574 | also possible that thread-local storage (TLS) is an option for some use cases. |
---|

583 | Task notepads and the associated directives :ref:`rtems_task_variable_add`, |
---|
584 | :ref:`rtems_task_variable_get` and :ref:`rtems_task_variable_delete` were |
---|
585 | removed in RTEMS 5.1. Task variables must be replaced by POSIX Keys or |
---|
586 | thread-local storage (TLS). POSIX Keys are available in all configurations and |
---|
587 | support value destructors. For the TLS support consult the :title:`RTEMS CPU |
---|

---|
646 | DESCRIPTION: |
---|
647 | This directive creates a task which resides on the local node. It |
---|
648 | allocates and initializes a TCB, a stack, and an optional floating point |
---|
649 | context area. The mode parameter contains values which sets the task's |
---|
650 | initial execution mode. The ``RTEMS_FLOATING_POINT`` attribute should be |
---|
651 | specified if the created task is to use a numeric coprocessor. For |
---|
652 | performance reasons, it is recommended that tasks not using the numeric |
---|
653 | coprocessor should specify the ``RTEMS_NO_FLOATING_POINT`` attribute. If |
---|
654 | the ``RTEMS_GLOBAL`` attribute is specified, the task can be accessed from |
---|
655 | remote nodes. The task id, returned in id, is used in other task related |
---|
656 | directives to access the task. When created, a task is placed in the |
---|
657 | dormant state and can only be made ready to execute using the directive |
---|
658 | ``rtems_task_start``. |
---|
659 | |
---|
660 | NOTES: |
---|
661 | This directive may cause the calling task to be preempted. |
---|
662 | |
---|
663 | The scheduler of the new task is the scheduler of the executing task at |
---|
664 | some point during the task creation. The specified task priority must be |
---|
665 | valid for the selected scheduler. |
---|
666 | |
---|
667 | The task processor affinity is initialized to the set of online processors. |
---|
668 | |
---|
669 | If the requested stack size is less than the configured minimum stack size, |
---|
670 | then RTEMS will use the configured minimum as the stack size for this task. |
---|
671 | In addition to being able to specify the task stack size as a integer, |
---|
672 | there are two constants which may be specified: |
---|
673 | |
---|
674 | ``RTEMS_MINIMUM_STACK_SIZE`` |
---|
675 | The minimum stack size *RECOMMENDED* for use on this processor. This |
---|
676 | value is selected by the RTEMS developers conservatively to minimize the |
---|
677 | risk of blown stacks for most user applications. Using this constant |
---|
678 | when specifying the task stack size, indicates that the stack size will |
---|
679 | be at least ``RTEMS_MINIMUM_STACK_SIZE`` bytes in size. If the user |
---|
680 | configured minimum stack size is larger than the recommended minimum, |
---|
681 | then it will be used. |
---|
682 | |
---|
683 | ``RTEMS_CONFIGURED_MINIMUM_STACK_SIZE`` |
---|
684 | Indicates this task is to be created with a stack size of the minimum |
---|
685 | stack size that was configured by the application. If not explicitly |
---|
686 | configured by the application, the default configured minimum stack size |
---|
687 | is the processor dependent value ``RTEMS_MINIMUM_STACK_SIZE``. Since |
---|
688 | this uses the configured minimum stack size value, you may get a stack |
---|
689 | size that is smaller or larger than the recommended minimum. This can be |
---|
690 | used to provide large stacks for all tasks on complex applications or |
---|
691 | small stacks on applications that are trying to conserve memory. |
---|
692 | |
---|
693 | Application developers should consider the stack usage of the device |
---|
694 | drivers when calculating the stack size required for tasks which utilize |
---|
695 | the driver. |
---|
696 | |
---|
697 | The following task attribute constants are defined by RTEMS: |

---|

---|
705 | - uses numeric coprocessor |
---|
706 | * - ``RTEMS_LOCAL`` |
---|
707 | - local task (default) |
---|
708 | * - ``RTEMS_GLOBAL`` |
---|
709 | - global task |
---|
710 | |
---|
711 | The following task mode constants are defined by RTEMS: |
---|
712 | |
---|
713 | .. list-table:: |
---|
714 | :class: rtems-table |
---|
715 | |
---|
716 | * - ``RTEMS_PREEMPT`` |
---|
717 | - enable preemption (default) |
---|
718 | * - ``RTEMS_NO_PREEMPT`` |
---|
719 | - disable preemption |
---|
720 | * - ``RTEMS_NO_TIMESLICE`` |
---|
721 | - disable timeslicing (default) |
---|
722 | * - ``RTEMS_TIMESLICE`` |
---|
723 | - enable timeslicing |
---|
724 | * - ``RTEMS_ASR`` |
---|
725 | - enable ASR processing (default) |
---|
726 | * - ``RTEMS_NO_ASR`` |
---|
727 | - disable ASR processing |
---|
728 | * - ``RTEMS_INTERRUPT_LEVEL(0)`` |
---|
729 | - enable all interrupts (default) |
---|
730 | * - ``RTEMS_INTERRUPT_LEVEL(n)`` |
---|
731 | - execute at interrupt level ``n`` |
---|
732 | |
---|
733 | The interrupt level portion of the task execution mode supports a maximum |
---|
734 | of 256 interrupt levels. These levels are mapped onto the interrupt |
---|
735 | levels actually supported by the target processor in a processor dependent |
---|
736 | fashion. |
---|
737 | |
---|
738 | Tasks should not be made global unless remote tasks must interact with |
---|
739 | them. This avoids the system overhead incurred by the creation of a |
---|
740 | global task. When a global task is created, the task's name and id must |
---|
741 | be transmitted to every node in the system for insertion in the local copy |
---|
742 | of the global object table. |
---|
743 | |
---|
744 | The total number of global objects, including tasks, is limited by the |
---|
745 | maximum_global_objects field in the Configuration Table. |

868 | The starting address of the task is given in ``entry_point``. The task's |

---|
871 | this numeric argument is an unsigned integer type with the property that |
---|
872 | any valid pointer to void can be converted to this type and then converted |

917 | DESCRIPTION: |
---|
918 | This directive resets the task specified by id to begin execution at its |
---|
919 | original starting address. The task's priority and execution mode are set |
---|
920 | to the original creation values. If the task is currently blocked, RTEMS |
---|
921 | automatically makes the task ready. A task can be restarted from any |
---|
922 | state, except the dormant state. |
---|
923 | |
---|
924 | The task's starting argument is contained in argument. This argument can |
---|
925 | be a single value or an index into an array of parameter blocks. The type |
---|
926 | of this numeric argument is an unsigned integer type with the property that |
---|
927 | any valid pointer to void can be converted to this type and then converted |
---|
928 | back to a pointer to void. The result will compare equal to the original |
---|
929 | pointer. This new argument may be used to distinguish between the initial |
---|
930 | ``rtems_task_start`` of the task and any ensuing calls to |
---|
931 | ``rtems_task_restart`` of the task. This can be beneficial in deleting a |
---|
932 | task. Instead of deleting a task using the ``rtems_task_delete`` |
---|
933 | directive, a task can delete another task by restarting that task, and |
---|
934 | allowing that task to release resources back to RTEMS and then delete |
---|
935 | itself. |
---|
936 | |
---|
937 | NOTES: |
---|
938 | If id is ``RTEMS_SELF``, the calling task will be restarted and will not |
---|
939 | return from this directive. |
---|
940 | |
---|
941 | The calling task will be preempted if its preemption mode is enabled and |
---|
942 | the task being restarted has a higher priority. |
---|
943 | |

944 | The task must reside on the local node, even if the task was created with |

976 | |
---|
977 | DESCRIPTION: |
---|
978 | This directive deletes a task, either the calling task or another task, as |
---|
979 | specified by id. RTEMS stops the execution of the task and reclaims the |
---|
980 | stack memory, any allocated delay or timeout timers, the TCB, and, if the |
---|
981 | task is ``RTEMS_FLOATING_POINT``, its floating point context area. RTEMS |
---|
982 | does not reclaim the following resources: region segments, partition |
---|
983 | buffers, semaphores, timers, or rate monotonic periods. |
---|
984 | |
---|
985 | NOTES: |
---|
986 | A task is responsible for releasing its resources back to RTEMS before |
---|
987 | deletion. To insure proper deallocation of resources, a task should not be |
---|
988 | deleted unless it is unable to execute or does not hold any RTEMS |
---|
989 | resources. If a task holds RTEMS resources, the task should be allowed to |
---|
990 | deallocate its resources before deletion. A task can be directed to |
---|
991 | release its resources and delete itself by restarting it with a special |
---|
992 | argument or by sending it a message, an event, or a signal. |
---|
993 | |
---|
994 | Deletion of the current task (``RTEMS_SELF``) will force RTEMS to select |
---|
995 | another task to execute. |
---|
996 | |
---|
997 | When a global task is deleted, the task id must be transmitted to every |
---|
998 | node in the system for deletion from the local copy of the global object |
---|
999 | table. |
---|
1000 | |
---|
1001 | The task must reside on the local node, even if the task was created with |

1035 | This directive suspends the task specified by id from further execution by |

1036 | placing it in the suspended state. This state is additive to any other |
---|
1037 | blocked state that the task may already be in. The task will not execute |

1038 | again until another task issues the ``rtems_task_resume`` directive for |

1039 | this task and any blocked state has been removed. |
---|
1040 | |

1041 | NOTES: |

1174 | DESCRIPTION: |
---|
1175 | This directive manipulates the priority of the task specified by id. An id |
---|
1176 | of ``RTEMS_SELF`` is used to indicate the calling task. When new_priority |
---|
1177 | is not equal to ``RTEMS_CURRENT_PRIORITY``, the specified task's previous |
---|
1178 | priority is returned in old_priority. When new_priority is |
---|
1179 | ``RTEMS_CURRENT_PRIORITY``, the specified task's current priority is |
---|
1180 | returned in old_priority. Valid priorities range from a high of 1 to a low |
---|
1181 | of 255. |
---|
1182 | |
---|
1183 | NOTES: |
---|
1184 | The calling task may be preempted if its preemption mode is enabled and it |
---|
1185 | lowers its own priority or raises another task's priority. |
---|
1186 | |
---|
1187 | In case the new priority equals the current priority of the task, then |
---|
1188 | nothing happens. |
---|
1189 | |
---|
1190 | Setting the priority of a global task which does not reside on the local |
---|
1191 | node will generate a request to the remote node to change the priority of |
---|
1192 | the specified task. |
---|
1193 | |
---|
1194 | If the task specified by id is currently holding any binary semaphores |
---|
1195 | which use the priority inheritance algorithm, then the task's priority |
---|
1196 | cannot be lowered immediately. If the task's priority were lowered |
---|
1197 | immediately, then priority inversion results. The requested lowering of |
---|
1198 | the task's priority will occur when the task has released all priority |
---|
1199 | inheritance binary semaphores. The task's priority can be increased |
---|
1200 | regardless of the task's use of priority inheritance binary semaphores. |

1242 | This directive returns the current priority of the task specified by |

1243 | :c:data:`task_id` with respect to the scheduler instance specified by |
---|
1244 | :c:data:`scheduler_id`. A task id of :c:macro:`RTEMS_SELF` is used to |

1246 | |
---|
1247 | NOTES: |
---|
1248 | The current priority reflects temporary priority adjustments due to locking |
---|
1249 | protocols, the rate-monotonic period objects on some schedulers and other |
---|
1250 | mechanisms. |

1291 | DESCRIPTION: |
---|
1292 | This directive manipulates the execution mode of the calling task. A |
---|
1293 | task's execution mode enables and disables preemption, timeslicing, |
---|
1294 | asynchronous signal processing, as well as specifying the current interrupt |
---|
1295 | level. To modify an execution mode, the mode class(es) to be changed must |
---|
1296 | be specified in the mask parameter and the desired mode(s) must be |
---|
1297 | specified in the mode parameter. |
---|
1298 | |
---|
1299 | NOTES: |
---|
1300 | The calling task will be preempted if it enables preemption and a higher |
---|
1301 | priority task is ready to run. |
---|
1302 | |
---|
1303 | Enabling timeslicing has no effect if preemption is disabled. For a task |
---|
1304 | to be timesliced, that task must have both preemption and timeslicing |
---|
1305 | enabled. |
---|
1306 | |
---|
1307 | A task can obtain its current execution mode, without modifying it, by |
---|
1308 | calling this directive with a mask value of ``RTEMS_CURRENT_MODE``. |
---|
1309 | |
---|
1310 | To temporarily disable the processing of a valid ASR, a task should call |
---|
1311 | this directive with the ``RTEMS_NO_ASR`` indicator specified in mode. |
---|
1312 | |
---|
1313 | The set of task mode constants and each mode's corresponding mask constant |

---|
1625 | processors owned by the scheduler instance of the task. A task will simply |
---|
1626 | not run under normal circumstances on these processors since the scheduler |
---|
1627 | ignores them. Some locking protocols may temporarily use processors that |
---|
1628 | are not included in the processor affinity set of the task. It is also not |

1629 | an error if the processor affinity set contains processors that are not |

1631 | |
---|
1632 | In case a scheduler without support for task affinites is used for the |

---|
1634 | processors of the system. This prevents odd corner cases if processors are |

1662 | DESCRIPTION: |
---|
1663 | Iterates over all tasks in the system. This operation covers all tasks of |
---|
1664 | all APIs. The user should be careful in accessing the contents of the |
---|
1665 | thread control block :c:data:`tcb`. The visitor argument :c:data:`arg` is |
---|
1666 | passed to all invocations of :c:data:`visitor` in addition to the thread |
---|
1667 | control block. The iteration stops immediately in case the visitor |
---|
1668 | function returns true. |
---|
1669 | |
---|
1670 | NOTES: |
---|
1671 | Must be called from task context. This operation obtains and releases the |
---|
1672 | objects allocator lock. The task visitor is called while owning the objects |
---|
1673 | allocator lock. It is possible to perform blocking operations in the task |
---|
1674 | visitor, however, take care that no deadlocks via the object allocator lock |
---|
1675 | can occur. |

1869 | DESCRIPTION: |
---|
1870 | This directive adds the memory location specified by the ptr argument to |
---|
1871 | the context of the given task. The variable will then be private to the |
---|
1872 | task. The task can access and modify the variable, but the modifications |
---|
1873 | will not appear to other tasks, and other tasks' modifications to that |
---|
1874 | variable will not affect the value seen by the task. This is accomplished |
---|
1875 | by saving and restoring the variable's value each time a task switch occurs |
---|
1876 | to or from the calling task. If the dtor argument is non-NULL it specifies |
---|
1877 | the address of a 'destructor' function which will be called when the task |
---|
1878 | is deleted. The argument passed to the destructor function is the task's |
---|
1879 | value of the variable. |
---|
1880 | |
---|
1881 | NOTES: |
---|
1882 | Task variables increase the context switch time to and from the tasks that |
---|
1883 | own them so it is desirable to minimize the number of task variables. One |
---|
1884 | efficient method is to have a single task variable that is a pointer to a |
---|
1885 | dynamically allocated structure containing the task's private 'global' |
---|
1886 | data. In this case the destructor function could be 'free'. |
