内核real time patch测试

使用cyclictest测试real-time补丁对系统实时性的改善

打补丁

查看内核版本

vim Makefile
# SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0
VERSION = 6
PATCHLEVEL = 1
SUBLEV

下载和内核版本相近的补丁

https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/6.1/patch-6.1.28-rt10.patch.gz

测试补丁

git apply --check patch-6.1.28-rt10.patch

应用补丁

git apply --reject patch-6.1.28-rt10.patch

编译内核，选择

CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT

测试系统延迟

下载测试工具

git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/utils/rt-tests/rt-tests.git

检出v1.0

git checkout v1.0

安装依赖

sudo apt install libnuma-dev

修改工具链

CC=arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc
AR=arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc-ar

编译

make

8个yes将将cpu负载跑起来

yes > /dev/null &

测试

./cyclictest -l10000 -m -n -t8 -p99 -i2000 -h100

结果

不打入补丁

• 评价系统的实时性，通常观察Max最大延迟
• cyclictest所测得的延时是中断延时加调度延时
• 可以发现打real-time补丁对内核延迟有很大改善
