363 * @defgroup synch Synchronization objects
366 * Synchronisation objects provide an alternative to timers for
367 * bounded-workload vres to signal the end of their current job and
368 * return their remaining budget to FRSH.
370 * Instead of asking to be reactivated based on an absolute time, they
371 * queue themselves in a synchronisation object and will wait there
372 * until another vres (bounded-workload or indeterminate-workload)
373 * wakes them up with a signal call the earliest at the beginning of
376 * Indeterminate-workload vres cannot queue themselves here because
377 * they don't have any budget to return. However they can signal on
378 * the objects to activate a waiting workload vres.
380 * For classical signal/wait synchronisation paradigms the application
381 * must use whatever mechanism the underlying OS provides.
383 * In the future we may add a broadcast operation that would signal a
384 * group of synchronization objects. We have not included a broadcast
385 * service in this version because it can be easily created by the
386 * user by signalling individual synchronization objects inside a
389 * Notice that for synchronization objects there is no naming service
390 * like in shared objects because tasks that use synchronization are
391 * not developed independently, as they are closely coupled.
398 * frsh_synchobj_create()

453 * workload vres to indicate that a job has been completed (and
454 * that the scheduler may reassign the unused capacity of the current
455 * job to other vres).
457 * As a difference with frsh_timed_wait(), here the vres
458 * specifies to be awakened by the arrival of a signal operation
459 * instead of at a precise point of time.
461 * This function can also be called to schedule the first job of a
462 * recently created vres and make it start when a signal operation
463 * has been sent from another thread.
465 * The vres' budget will be made zero for the remainder of the vres'
466 * period, and FRSH will not replenish it until an event has been
467 * notified to the synchronisation object by another vres.
469 * It can happen that the synchronisation object has notification
470 * events queued from the past, in this case one of the events is
471 * dequeued immediately and the vres won't have to wait for another
474 * At the time of reception of a notification event (wether in the
475 * future or in the past), all pending budget replenishments (if any)
476 * are made effective. Once the vres has a positive budget and the
477 * scheduler schedules the calling thread again, the call returns and
478 * the vres continues executing.
