In some contexts (i.e. industrial automation, robotics and telco) the low-latency support is insufficient. In order to push Ubuntu in these contexts it is necessary to add support for high resolution timers and full preemption in the Linux kernel. These features have been implemented by Thomas Gleixner and Ingo Molnar (http://people.redhat.com/mingo/realtime-preempt/). | '''FAQ:''' <<BR>> Q: What is the difference between an -rt kernel and a -realtime kernel? |
Line 20: | Line 45: |
We also want a valid FLOSS alternative to SLERT (http://www.novell.com/products/realtime/). | A: From a technical point of view, -rt and -realtime are the same kernel. They are both based on the PREEMPT_RT patchset, although the version may be different. The main difference is that the -rt kernel should be based on the Ubuntu source tree (and therefore can use the same features, patches, enabled hardware, security fixes and so on) and should offer the same services that the Ubuntu default -generic kernel offers. For example, it should be compatible with closed video drivers (nvidia and fglrx), any external DKMS drivers, and have available backport packages. The goal of an -rt kernel is to obtain a real time variant of the Ubuntu kernel that is aligned with the -generic kernel. <<BR>><<BR>> On the other hand, the -realtime kernel is a PREEMPT_RT patched kernel based on the vanilla source tree (not the Ubuntu source). This kernel will be missing Ubuntu specific code, patches or security fixes and it isn't guaranteed to be compatible with any external software (low level utilities, DKMS drivers and so on). It does not use the same Linux kernel version as the -generic kernel, and so these two kernels are not aligned. It is a working, upstream real-time kernel that is being used on Ubuntu. No more no less. |

== Use cases == | {{{#!wiki comment |
Line 24: | Line 51: |
Alex is developing an application software (SCADA type) for a customer and he would be very happy to use Linux and Ubuntu for the deployment. | -lowlatency == -generic + more aggressive low latency kernel configuration It can offers all things that Ubuntu offer with -generic so -backport modules, video closed drivers and so on. It is very solid and oriented to "soft" users. Trade-off between low latency and power consumption. |
Line 26: | Line 56: |
Real time audio support in a radio station studio (http://postscriptumradio.org), which needs RT preemption to satisfy real time features of jack audio connection kit by Paul Davis. | In less words: if you need of closed video drivers, external DKMS kernel modules, linux-backports-* you should probably start to use -lowlatency (when it will be available through Ubuntu repos). Instead if you really need of an real-time system you should avoid all above or trying to make those working alone. |
Line 28: | Line 62: |
== Scope == | |
Line 30: | Line 63: |
This specification covers a new linux kernel flavour (-realtime) in Ubuntu. | To put it simply: -lowlatency all the way! It delivers impressive results for maintenance requirements way lower than -realtime (or -rt even more), meaning less work for maintainers and new kernel candy for users. |
Line 32: | Line 68: |
## == Design == | Life is a trade-off: someone want a very hard real-time system without adopt other hardware architectures than pc (MCU, FPGA/ASIC, and so on), others want use normal and cheap pc, others want use also accelerated drivers also, others want a real-system which take care of they laptop's batteries too. And at the end we have limited resources(*) for give an answer on these needs (we are all volunteers). |
Line 34: | Line 76: |
== Implementation == We hope to add in the universe repositary (the same place as the linux-image-lowlatency package) a source package that contain only the realtime-preempt patch (~2MB). This package have a build dependency to linux-source-2.6.20 package. When it's compiled it exctract the kernel code from linux-source-2.6.20, apply the patch, set the realtime kernel configuration and build all binary packages: linux-image-2.6.20-X-realtime, linux-image-debug-2.6.20-X-realtime, linux-headers-2.6.20-X-realtime, linux-image-trace-2.6.20-X-realtime. ## === Code === ## === Data preservation and migration === == Unresolved issues == 1. Seems that the code (in particularly hrtimers) is depends by a good acpi implementation. 2. The realtime kernel break ABI compatibility. == Beta available == Add, as root, to your /etc/apt/sources.list (remember to do a backup of this file) the following line: {{{ deb http://www.texware.it/ubuntu feisty/ |
