Anna, Gernot, thank you for your answers. I want to add domains as analogues to 
arinc-653 partitions. I know that there will be some time restrictions, but the 
main goal is compliance with functional requirements of the standard.

For the first release of the RT kernel (which is a pre-release) we excluded the 
domain scheduler to make development easier. The final version of the RT kernel 
will probably include the domain scheduler. 


 


However, it should be noted that if using RT + domain scheduler the max 
deadline miss time is the length of the longest domain, as domains are not 
pre-emptible. 








Further to what Anna says, it is unclear (to me at last) whether there are any 
realistic use cases of real-time systems that would work with the domain 
scheduler. The whole idea of maintaining confidentiality and timeliness at the 
same time requires some serious thinking, which I’m not aware of having 
happened. Absent that, you need to assume that the two are incompatible. And we 
certainly make no claims that our kernel (once mixed-criticality support is 
merged with master) is in any way able to support both at the same time.



If anyone knows better, I’d love to hear about it.



Gernot
