502: book/resources: highlight that `#[lock_free]` includes a compile-time check r=AfoHT a=japaric for the "same priority requirement"; this prevents data races Co-authored-by: Jorge Aparicio <jorge.aparicio@ferrous-systems.com> |

Real-Time Interrupt-driven Concurrency
A concurrency framework for building real-time systems.
Formerly known as Real-Time For the Masses.
Features
-
Tasks as the unit of concurrency 1. Tasks can be event triggered (fired in response to asynchronous stimuli) or spawned by the application on demand.
-
Message passing between tasks. Specifically, messages can be passed to software tasks at spawn time.
-
A timer queue 2. Software tasks can be scheduled to run at some time in the future. This feature can be used to implement periodic tasks.
-
Support for prioritization of tasks and, thus, preemptive multitasking.
-
Efficient and data race free memory sharing through fine grained priority based critical sections 1.
-
Deadlock free execution guaranteed at compile time. This is a stronger guarantee than what's provided by the standard
Mutexabstraction.
-
Minimal scheduling overhead. The task scheduler has minimal software footprint; the hardware does the bulk of the scheduling.
-
Highly efficient memory usage: All the tasks share a single call stack and there's no hard dependency on a dynamic memory allocator.
-
All Cortex-M devices are fully supported.
-
This task model is amenable to known WCET (Worst Case Execution Time) analysis and scheduling analysis techniques. (Though we haven't yet developed Rust friendly tooling for that.)
Requirements
-
Rust 1.36.0+
-
Applications must be written using the 2018 edition.
