 ------------

 This file contains the aperiodic Sporadic Server (SS).

 Note: in the following, server capacity and server budget are used as

       synonyms.

 When scheduling in background  the flags field has the SS_BACKGROUND bit set

 When scheduling a task because it is pointed by another task via shadows,

 the task have to be extracted from the wait queue or the master level. To

 check this we have to look at the activated field; it is != NIL if a task

 is inserted into the master level. Only a task at a time can be inserted

 into the master level.

 The capacity of the server must be updated

 - when scheduling a task normally

 - when scheduling a task because it is pointed by a shadow

   but not when scheduling in background.

 When a task is extracted from the system no scheduling has to be done

 until the task reenter into the system. To implement this, when a task

 is extracted we block the background scheduling (the scheduling with the

 master level is already blocked because the activated field is not

 reset to NIL) using the SS_BACKGROUNDBLOCK bit.

 nact[p] is -1 if the task set the activations to SKIP, >= 0 otherwise

 In contrast to classic SS scheme, the activation happens when

 a task does a create request while there is positive budget (instead to

 becomes active when there is a running task with priority higger then or

 equal to the server).

 So the replenish time is estabished on task arrival time. Replenish time

 is calculated as usual: activation time + server period.

 When the server ends its budget, becomes not active until a replenishment

 occurs.

 When a task ends its computation and there are no tasks to schedule or,

 again, the server budget ends, a replenish amount is posted so that, when

 replenish time fires, the server budget will be updated. Replenish

 amount is determined depending on how much time tasks have ran.

 Replenish amount does't takes into account periods during witch tasks

 handled by SS are preempted.

 There are two models used to handle a task is running into a critic section

 (owning a mutex): "nostop" model and "stop" model.

 Using the "nostop" model, a task that runs into a critic section is not

 stopped when server ends its budget. This is done so higger priority tasks

 waiting for mutex are not blocked for so much time to replenish time occurs.

 When this happens the server capacity becomes negative and the replenish

 amount takes into account the negative budget part.

 With "stop" model running task is always suspended when server budget ends.

 If suspended task owns a mutex shared with higger priority task, the last

 one cannot runs until the mutex will be released. Higger priority task

 must waits at least upto next replenish time, when server budget will be

 refulled and suspended task runs again.

 Using "nostop" model, SS can uses more bandwidth respect to assigned

 capacity (due to negative budgets). So, calculating the guarantee, the

 longer critic section of all tasks handled by SS must be considered.

 SS can be used either with EDF or RM master level.

 Read SS.h for further details.
