xen: add real time scheduler rtds
This scheduler follows the Preemptive Global Earliest Deadline First
(EDF) theory in real-time field.
At any scheduling point, the VCPU with earlier deadline has higher
priority. The scheduler always picks the highest priority VCPU to run on a
feasible PCPU.
A PCPU is feasible if the VCPU can run on this PCPU and (the PCPU is
idle or has a lower-priority VCPU running on it.)
Each VCPU has a dedicated period and budget.
The deadline of a VCPU is at the end of each period;
A VCPU has its budget replenished at the beginning of each period;
While scheduled, a VCPU burns its budget.
The VCPU needs to finish its budget before its deadline in each period;
The VCPU discards its unused budget at the end of each period.
If a VCPU runs out of budget in a period, it has to wait until next period.
Each VCPU is implemented as a deferable server.
When a VCPU has a task running on it, its budget is continuously burned;
When a VCPU has no task but with budget left, its budget is preserved.
Queue scheme:
A global runqueue and a global depletedq for each CPU pool.
The runqueue holds all runnable VCPUs with budget and sorted by deadline;
The depletedq holds all VCPUs without budget and unsorted.
Note: cpumask and cpupool is supported.
This is an experimental scheduler.
