To conform to this Annex, an implementation shall also conform to the Systems Programming Annex. @end{Intro} @begin{Metrics} The metrics are documentation requirements; an implementation shall document the values of the language-defined metrics for at least one configuration @Redundant[of hardware or an underlying system] supported by the implementation, and shall document the details of that configuration. @ChgImplDef{Version=[2],Kind=[Deleted],InitialVersion=[0], Text=[@ChgDeleted{Version=[2], Text=[Values of all @MetricsTitle.]}]}@ChgNote{We're going to document the individual metrics sections.} @ChgDocReq{Version=[2],Kind=[Added],Text=[@ChgAdded{Version=[2], Text=[The details of the configuration used to generate the values of all metrics.]}]} @begin{Reason} The actual values of the metrics are likely to depend on hardware configuration details that are variable and generally outside the control of a compiler vendor. @end{Reason} The metrics do not necessarily yield a simple number. @Redundant[For some, a range is more suitable, for others a formula dependent on some parameter is appropriate, and for others, it may be more suitable to break the metric into several cases.] Unless specified otherwise, the metrics in this annex are expressed in processor clock cycles. For metrics that require documentation of an upper bound, if there is no upper bound, the implementation shall report that the metric is unbounded. @begin{Discussion} There are several good reasons to specify metrics in seconds; there are however equally good reasons to specify them in processor clock cycles. In defining the metrics, we have tried to strike a balance on a case-by-case basis. It has been suggested that all metrics should be given names, so that @lquotes@;data-sheets@rquotes@; could be formulated and published by vendors. However the paragraph number can serve that purpose. @end{Discussion} @end{Metrics} @begin{Notes} The specification of the metrics makes a distinction between upper bounds and simple execution times. Where something is just specified as @lquotes@;the execution time of@rquotes@; a piece of code, this leaves one the freedom to choose a nonpathological case. This kind of metric is of the form @lquotes@;there exists a program such that the value of the metric is V@rquotes@;. Conversely, the meaning of upper bounds is @lquotes@;there is no program such that the value of the metric is greater than V@rquotes@;. This kind of metric can only be partially tested, by finding the value of V for one or more test programs. The metrics do not cover the whole language; they are limited to features that are specified in @RefSec{Systems Programming} and in this Annex. The metrics are intended to provide guidance to potential users as to whether a particular implementation of such a feature is going to be adequate for a particular real-time application. As such, the metrics are aimed at known implementation choices that can result in significant performance differences. The purpose of the metrics is not necessarily to provide fine-grained quantitative results or to serve as a comparison between different implementations on the same or different platforms. Instead, their goal is rather qualitative; to define a standard set of approximate values that can be measured and used to estimate the general suitability of an implementation, or to evaluate the comparative utility of certain features of an implementation for a particular real-time application. @end{Notes} @begin{Extend83} @Defn{extensions to Ada 83} This Annex is new to Ada 95. @end{Extend83} @LabeledClause{Task Priorities} @begin{Intro} @ChgRef{Version=[3],Kind=[Revised],ARef=[AI05-0299-1]} @Redundant[This @Chg{Version=[3],New=[subclause],Old=[clause]} specifies the priority model for real-time systems.

With a pure priority scheme a single notion of priority is used for processor dispatching and preemption levels. With EDF and similar schemes priority is used for preemption levels (only), with another measure used for dispatching. T.P.

If a protected object has a ceiling priority in the range of Interrupt_Priority, certain interrupts are blocked while protected actions of that object execute. In the extreme, if the ceiling is Interrupt_Priority'Last, all blockable interrupts are blocked during that time. The ceiling priority of a protected object has to be in the Interrupt_Priority range if one of its procedures is to be used as an interrupt handler (see @RefSecNum{Interrupt Support}). When specifying the ceiling of a protected object, one should choose a value that is at least as high as the highest active priority at which tasks can be executing when they call protected operations of that object. In determining this value the following factors, which can affect active priority, should be considered: the effect of Set_Priority, nested protected operations, entry calls, task activation, and other implementation-defined factors. Attaching a protected procedure whose ceiling is below the interrupt hardware priority to an interrupt causes the execution of the program to be erroneous (see @RefSecNum{Protected Procedure Handlers}). On a single processor implementation, the ceiling priority rules guarantee that there is no possibility of deadlock involving only protected subprograms (excluding the case where a protected operation calls another protected operation on the same protected object). @end{Notes} @begin{Extend95} @ChgRef{Version=[2],Kind=[AddedNormal],ARef=[AI95-00327-01]} @ChgAdded{Version=[2],Text=[@Defn{extensions to Ada 95} All protected objects now have a priority, which is the value of the Priority attribute of @RefSecNum{Dynamic Priorities for Protected Objects}.

This causes the call to be removed from and then reinserted in the queue at the new active priority. @begin{Reason} A task is blocked on an entry call if the entry call is simple, conditional, or timed. If the call came from the @nt{triggering_statement} of an @nt{asynchronous_select}, or a requeue thereof, then the task is not blocked on that call; such calls do not have their priority updated. Thus, there can exist many queued calls from a given task (caused by many nested ATC's), but a task can be blocked on only one call at a time. A previous version of Ada 9X required queue reordering in the @nt{asynchronous_select} case as well. If the call corresponds to a @lquotes@;synchronous@rquotes@; entry call, then the task is blocked while queued, and it makes good sense to move it up in the queue if its priority is raised. However, if the entry call is @lquotes@;asynchronous,@rquotes@; that is, it is due to an @nt{asynchronous_select} whose @nt{triggering_statement} is an entry call, then the task is not waiting for this entry call, so the placement of the entry call on the queue is irrelevant to the rate at which the task proceeds. Furthermore, when an entry is used for @nt{asynchronous_select}s, it is almost certain to be a @lquotes@;broadcast@rquotes@; entry or have only one caller at a time. For example, if the entry is used to notify tasks of a mode switch, then all tasks on the entry queue would be signaled when the mode changes. Similarly, if it is indicating some interrupting event such as a control-C, all tasks sensitive to the interrupt will want to be informed that the event occurred. Hence, the order on such a queue is essentially irrelevant. Given the above, it seems an unnecessary semantic and implementation complexity to specify that asynchronous queued calls are moved in response to dynamic priority changes. Furthermore, it is somewhat inconsistent, since the call was originally queued based on the active priority of the task, but dynamic priority changes are changing the base priority of the task, and only indirectly the active priority. We say explicitly that asynchronous queued calls are not affected by normal changes in active priority during the execution of an @nt{abortable_part}. Saying that, if a change in the base priority affects the active priority, then we do want the calls reordered, would be inconsistent. It would also require the implementation to maintain a readily accessible list of all queued calls which would not otherwise be necessary. Several rules were removed or simplified when we changed the rules so that calls due to @nt{asynchronous_select}s are never moved due to intervening changes in active priority, be they due to protected actions, some other priority inheritance, or changes in the base priority. @end{Reason} When more than one @nt{condition} of an @nt{entry_barrier} of a protected object becomes True, and more than one of the respective queues is nonempty, the call with the highest priority is selected. If more than one such call has the same priority, the call that is queued on the entry whose declaration is first in textual order in the @nt{protected_definition} is selected. For members of the same entry family, the one with the lower family index is selected. If the expiration time of two or more open @nt{delay_alternative}s is the same and no other @nt{accept_alternative}s are open, the @nt{sequence_of_statements} of the @nt{delay_alternative} that is first in textual order in the @nt{selective_accept} is executed. When more than one alternative of a @nt{selective_accept} is open and has queued calls, an alternative whose queue has the highest-priority call at its head is selected. If two or more open alternatives have equal-priority queued calls, then a call on the entry in the @nt{accept_alternative} that is first in textual order in the @nt{selective_accept} is selected. @end{itemize} @end{RunTime} @begin{ImplPerm} @ChgRef{Version=[2],Kind=[Revised],ARef=[AI95-00256-01]} Implementations are allowed to define other queuing policies, but need not support more than one @Chg{Version=[2],New=[queuing],Old=[such]} policy per partition. @begin{Discussion} @ChgRef{Version=[1],Kind=[Added],Ref=[8652/0116],ARef=[AI95-00069-01]} @ChgRef{Version=[2],Kind=[RevisedAdded],ARef=[AI95-00256-01]} @ChgAdded{Version=[1],Text=[This rule is really redundant, as @RefSecNum(Pragmas and Program Units) allows an implementation to limit the use of configuration pragmas to an empty environment.

The set of values of the type Time corresponds one-to-one with an implementation-defined range of mathematical integers. @begin{Discussion} Informally, real time is defined to be the International Atomic Time (TAI) which is monotonic and nondecreasing. We use it here for the purpose of discussing rate of change and monotonic behavior only. It does not imply anything about the absolute value of Real_Time.Clock, or about Real_Time.Time being synchronized with TAI. It is also used for real time in the metrics, for comparison purposes. @end{Discussion} @begin{ImplNote} The specification of TAI as @lquotes@;real time@rquotes@; does not preclude the use of a simulated TAI clock for simulated execution environments. @end{ImplNote} @Defn{epoch} @PDefn{unspecified} The Time value I represents the half-open real time interval that starts with E+I*Time_Unit and is limited by E+(I+1)*Time_Unit, where Time_Unit is an implementation-defined real number and E is an unspecified origin point, the @i{epoch}, that is the same for all values of the type Time. It is not specified by the language whether the time values are synchronized with any standard time reference. @Redundant[For example, E can correspond to the time of system initialization or it can correspond to the epoch of some time standard.] @begin{Discussion} E itself does not have to be a proper time value.

A value of type Seconds_Count represents an elapsed time, measured in seconds, since the epoch. @end{StaticSem} @begin{RunTime} Time_Unit is the smallest amount of real time representable by the Time type; it is expressed in seconds. Time_Span_Unit is the difference between two successive values of the Time type. It is also the smallest positive value of type Time_Span.

This is a value D such that if t1 and t2 are any real times such that t1 < t2 and Clock@-{t1} = Clock@-{t2} then t2 @en@; t1 <= D. An upper bound on the size of a clock jump. @Defn{drift rate} An upper bound on the @i{drift rate} of Clock with respect to real time.

The value of E used for this metric shall be reported. @begin{Reason} This metric is intended to provide a measurement of the long term (cumulative) deviation; therefore, 24 hours is the lower bound on the measurement period. On some implementations, this is also the maximum period, since the language does not require that the range of the type Duration be more than 24 hours. On those implementations that support longer-range Duration, longer measurements should be performed. @end{Reason} An upper bound on the execution time of a call to the Clock function, in processor clock cycles. Upper bounds on the execution times of the operators of the types Time and Time_Span, in processor clock cycles. @begin{ImplNote} A fast implementation of the Clock function involves repeated reading until you get the same value twice. It is highly improbable that more than three reads will be necessary. Arithmetic on time values should not be significantly slower than 64-bit arithmetic in the underlying machine instruction set. @end{ImplNote} @end{Itemize} @ChgDocReq{Version=[2],Kind=[Added],Text=[@ChgAdded{Version=[2], Text=[The metrics for package Real_Time.]}]} @end{Metrics} @begin{ImplPerm} Implementations targeted to machines with word size smaller than 32 bits need not support the full range and granularity of the Time and Time_Span types. @begin{Discussion} These requirements are based on machines with a word size of 32 bits.

If there is no other such mechanism, support for Asynchronous_Task_Control might be infeasible, because an implementation in terms of priority would require one idle task per processor.

The effect of calling Get_Priority and Set_Priority on a Held task is the same as on any other task. Calling Hold on a held task or Continue on a non-held task has no effect. @Leading@;The rules affecting queuing are derived from the above rules, in addition to the normal priority rules: @begin{itemize} When a held task is on the ready queue, its priority is so low as to never reach the top of the queue as long as there are other tasks on that queue. If a task is executing in a protected action, inside a rendezvous, or is inheriting priorities from other sources (e.g. when activated), it continues to execute until it is no longer executing the corresponding construct. If a task becomes held while waiting (as a caller) for a rendezvous to complete, the active priority of the accepting task is not affected. @ChgRef{Version=[1],Kind=[Revised],Ref=[8652/0077],ARef=[AI95-00111-01]} If a task becomes held while waiting in a @nt{selective_accept}, and a@Chg{New=[n],Old=[]} entry call is issued to one of the open entries, the corresponding @Chg{New=[@nt{accept_@!alternative}],Old=[accept body]} executes. When the rendezvous completes, the active priority of the accepting task is lowered to the held priority (unless it is still inheriting from other sources), and the task does not execute until another Continue. The same holds if the held task is the only task on a protected entry queue whose barrier becomes open. The corresponding entry body executes. @end{itemize} @end{Notes} @begin{Extend95} @ChgRef{Version=[2],Kind=[AddedNormal],ARef=[AI95-00362-01]} @ChgAdded{Version=[2],Text=[@Defn{extensions to Ada 95} Asynchronous_Task_Control is now Preelaborated, so it can be used in preelaborated units.]} @end{Extend95} @begin{DiffWord95} @ChgRef{Version=[2],Kind=[AddedNormal],Ref=[8652/0077],ARef=[AI95-00111-01]} @ChgAdded{Version=[2],Text=[@b Corrected to eliminate the use of the undefined term @lquotes@;accept body@rquotes@;.]} @ChgRef{Version=[2],Kind=[AddedNormal],ARef=[AI95-00357-01]} @ChgAdded{Version=[2],Text=[The description of held tasks was changed to reflect that the calculation of active priorities depends on the dispatching policy of the base priority.
