  In this section, the formal model of Priority Inheritance Protocol (PIP)
  is presented. The model is based on Paulson's inductive protocol
  verification method, where the state of the system is modelled as a list
  of events (trace) happened so far with the latest event put at the head.
  *}

text {*

  To define events, the identifiers of {\em threads}, {\em priority} and
  {\em critical resources } (abbreviated as @{text "cs"}) need to be
  represented. All three are represetned using standard Isabelle/HOL type
  @{typ "nat"}: *}

type_synonym thread = nat -- {* Type for thread identifiers. *}
type_synonym priority = nat  -- {* Type for priorities. *}
type_synonym cs = nat -- {* Type for critical sections (or critical resources). *}

text {*

  \noindent The abstraction of Priority Inheritance Protocol (PIP) is set at
  the system call level. Every system call is represented as an event. The
  format of events is defined defined as follows: *}

datatype event = 
  Create thread priority   -- {* Thread @{text "thread"} is created with priority @{text "priority"}. *}
| Exit thread              -- {* Thread @{text "thread"} finishing its execution. *}
| P thread cs              -- {* Thread @{text "thread"} requesting critical resource @{text "cs"}. *}
| V thread cs              -- {* Thread @{text "thread"} releasing critical resource @{text "cs"}. *}
| Set thread priority      -- {* Thread @{text "thread"} resets its priority to @{text "priority"}. *}

fun actor  where
  "actor (Exit th) = th" |
  "actor (P th cs) = th" |
  "actor (V th cs) = th" |
  "actor (Set th pty) = th" |
  "actor (Create th prio) = th"

-- {* The actions of a set of threads *}
definition "actions_of ths s = filter (\<lambda> e. actor e \<in> ths) s"

fun isCreate :: "event \<Rightarrow> bool" where
  "isCreate (Create th pty) = True" |
  "isCreate _ = False"

fun isP :: "event \<Rightarrow> bool" where
  "isP (P th cs) = True" |
  "isP _ = False"

fun isV :: "event \<Rightarrow> bool" where
  "isV (V th cs) = True" |
  "isV _ = False"

text {* 
  
  As mentioned earlier, in Paulson's inductive method, the states of system
  are represented as lists of events, which is defined by the following type
  @{text "state"}: *}

type_synonym state = "event list"


text {*

  The function @{text "threads"} is used to calculate the set of live
  threads (@{text "threads s"}) in state @{text "s"}. *}

fun threads :: "state \<Rightarrow> thread set"
  where 
  -- {* At the start of the system, the set of threads is empty: *}
  "threads [] = {}" | 
  -- {* New thread is added to the @{text "threads"}: *}
  "threads (Create th prio#s) = {th} \<union> threads s" | 
  -- {* Finished thread is removed: *}
  "threads (Exit th # s) = (threads s) - {th}" | 
  -- {* Other kind of events does not affect the value of @{text "threads"}: *}
  "threads (e # s) = threads s" 

text {* 

  \noindent The function @{text "threads"} is one of the {\em observation
  function}s which forms the very basis of Paulson's inductive protocol
  verification method. Each observation function {\em observes} one
  particular aspect (or attribute) of the system. For example, the attribute
  observed by @{text "threads s"} is the set of threads living in state
  @{text "s"}. The protocol being modelled The decision made the protocol
  being modelled is based on the {\em observation}s returned by {\em
  observation function}s. Since {\observation function}s forms the very
  basis on which Paulson's inductive method is based, there will be a lot of
  such observation functions introduced in the following. In fact, any
  function which takes event list as argument is a {\em observation
  function}. *}

text {* 

  \noindent Observation @{text "priority th s"} is the {\em original
  priority} of thread @{text "th"} in state @{text "s"}. The {\em original
  priority} is the priority assigned to a thread when it is created or when
  it is reset by system call (represented by event @{text "Set thread
  priority"}). *}

fun priority :: "thread \<Rightarrow> state \<Rightarrow> priority"
  where
  -- {* @{text "0"} is assigned to threads which have never been created: *}
  "priority th [] = 0" |
  "priority th (Create th' prio # s) = 
     (if th' = th then prio else priority th s)" |
  "priority th (Set th' prio # s) = 
     (if th' = th then prio else priority th s)" |
  "priority th (e # s) = priority th s"

text {*

  \noindent Observation @{text "last_set th s"} is the last time when the
  priority of thread @{text "th"} is set, observed from state @{text "s"}.
  The time in the system is measured by the number of events happened so far
  since the very beginning. *}

fun last_set :: "thread \<Rightarrow> state \<Rightarrow> nat"
  where
  "last_set th [] = 0" |
  "last_set th ((Create th' prio) # s) = 
       (if (th = th') then length s else last_set th s)" |
  "last_set th ((Set th' prio) # s) = 
       (if (th = th') then length s else last_set th s)" |
  "last_set th (_ # s) = last_set th s"

text {*

  \noindent The {\em precedence} is a notion derived from {\em priority},
  where the {\em precedence} of a thread is the combination of its {\em
  original priority} and the {\em time} the priority was set. The intention
  is to discriminate threads with the same priority by giving threads whose
  priority is assigned earlier higher precedences, because such threads are
  assumed more urgent to finish. *}

definition preced :: "thread \<Rightarrow> state \<Rightarrow> precedence"
  where "preced th s \<equiv> Prc (priority th s) (last_set th s)"

definition preceds :: "thread set \<Rightarrow> state \<Rightarrow> precedence set"
  where "preceds ths s \<equiv> {preced th s | th. th \<in> ths}"

text {*

  \noindent A number of important notions in PIP are represented as the
  following functions, defined in terms of the waiting queues of the system,
  where the waiting queues, as a whole, is represented by the @{text "wq"}
  argument of every notion function. The @{text "wq"} argument is itself a
  functions which maps every critical resource @{text "cs"} to the list of
  threads which are holding or waiting for it. The thread at the head of
  this list is designated as the thread which is current holding the
  resource, which is slightly different from tradition where all threads in
  the waiting queue are considered as waiting for the resource. *}

text {* 

  \begin{minipage}{0.9\textwidth} This meaning of @{text "wq"} is reflected
  in the following definition of @{text "holding wq th cs"}, where @{text
  "holding wq th cs"} means thread @{text "th"} is holding the critical
  resource @{text "cs"}. This decision is based on @{text "wq"}.
  \end{minipage} *}

definition
  "holding_raw wq thread cs \<equiv> (thread \<in> set (wq cs) \<and> thread = hd (wq cs))"

text {* 

  \begin{minipage}{0.9\textwidth} In accordance with the definition of
  @{text "holding wq th cs"}, a thread @{text "th"} is considered waiting
  for @{text "cs"} if it is in the {\em waiting queue} of critical resource
  @{text "cs"}, but not at the head. This is reflected in the definition of
  @{text "waiting wq th cs"} as follows: \end{minipage} *}

definition
  "waiting_raw wq thread cs \<equiv> (thread \<in> set (wq cs) \<and> thread \<noteq> hd (wq cs))"

text {* 

  Resource Allocation Graphs (RAG for short) are used extensively in our
  formal analysis. The following type @{text "node"} is used to represent
  the two types of nodes in RAGs. *}

datatype node = 
  Th "thread" -- {* Node for a thread. *}
| Cs "cs"     -- {* Node for a critical resource. *}


text {*
  
  \begin{minipage}{0.9\textwidth} @{text "RAG wq"} generates RAG (a binary
  relations on @{text "node"}) out of waiting queues of the system
  (represented by the @{text "wq"} argument): \end{minipage} *}

      {(Cs cs, Th th) | cs th. holding_raw wq th cs}"

text {*
 
  \begin{minipage}{0.9\textwidth} The following @{text "dependants wq th"}
  represents the set of threads which are RAGing on thread @{text "th"} in
  Resource Allocation Graph @{text "RAG wq"}. Here, "RAGing" means waiting
  directly or indirectly on the critical resource. \end{minipage} *}

definition
  dependants_raw :: "(cs \<Rightarrow> thread list) \<Rightarrow> thread \<Rightarrow> thread set"
where
  "dependants_raw wq th \<equiv> {th' . (Th th', Th th) \<in> (RAG_raw wq)^+}"

text {* 

  \noindent The following @{text "cpreced s th"} gives the {\em current
  precedence} of thread @{text "th"} under state @{text "s"}. The definition
  of @{text "cpreced"} reflects the basic idea of Priority Inheritance that
  the {\em current precedence} of a thread is the precedence inherited from
  the maximum of all its dependants, i.e. the threads which are waiting
  directly or indirectly waiting for some resources from it. If no such
  thread exits, @{text "th"}'s {\em current precedence} equals its original
  precedence, i.e. @{text "preced th s"}. *}

definition 
  cpreced :: "(cs \<Rightarrow> thread list) \<Rightarrow> state \<Rightarrow> thread \<Rightarrow> precedence"
  where 
  "cpreced wq s th = Max ((\<lambda>th'. preced th' s) ` ({th} \<union> dependants_raw wq th))"

text {*

  Notice that the current precedence (@{text "cpreced"}) of one thread
  @{text "th"} can be boosted (increased) by those threads in the @{text
  "dependants wq th"}-set. If one thread gets boosted, we say it inherits
  the priority (or, more precisely, the precedence) of its dependants. This
  is whrere the word "Inheritance" in Priority Inheritance Protocol comes
  from. *}

text {* 

  \noindent Assuming @{text "qs"} be the waiting queue of a critical
  resource, the following abbreviation "release qs" is the waiting queue
  after the thread holding the resource (which is thread at the head of
  @{text "qs"}) released the resource: *}

abbreviation
  "release qs \<equiv> case qs of
             [] => [] 
          |  (_#qs') => (SOME q. distinct q \<and> set q = set qs')"

text {* 

  \noindent It can be seen from the definition that the thread at the head
  of @{text "qs"} is removed from the return value, and the value @{term
  "q"} is an reordering of @{text "qs'"}, the tail of @{text "qs"}. Through
  this reordering, one of the waiting threads (those in @{text "qs'"} } is
  chosen nondeterministically to be the head of the new queue @{text "q"}.
  Therefore, this thread is the one who takes over the resource. This is a
  little better different from common sense that the thread who comes the
  earliest should take over. The intention of this definition is to show
  that the choice of which thread to take over the release resource does not
  affect the correctness of the PIP protocol. *}

text {*
  
  The data structure used by the operating system for scheduling is referred
  to as {\em schedule state}. It is represented as a record consisting of a
  function assigning waiting queue to resources (to be used as the @{text
  "wq"} argument in @{text "holding"}, @{text "waiting"} and @{text "RAG"},
  etc) and a function assigning precedence to threads: *}

record schedule_state = 
    wq_fun :: "cs \<Rightarrow> thread list" -- {* The function assigning waiting queue. *}
    cprec_fun :: "thread \<Rightarrow> precedence" -- {* The function assigning precedence. *}

text {* 
  
  \noindent The following two abbreviations (@{text "all_unlocked"} and
  @{text "initial_cprec"}) are used to set the initial values of the @{text
  "wq_fun"} @{text "cprec_fun"} fields respectively of the @{text
  "schedule_state"} record by the following function @{text "sch"}, which is
  used to calculate the system's {\em schedule state}.

  Since there is no thread at the very beginning to make request, all
  critical resources are free (or unlocked). This status is represented by
  the abbreviation @{text "all_unlocked"}.
*}

abbreviation
  "all_unlocked \<equiv> \<lambda>_::cs. ([]::thread list)"


text {* 

  \noindent The initial current precedence for a thread can be anything,
  because there is no thread then. We simply assume every thread has
  precedence @{text "Prc 0 0"}. *}

abbreviation 
  "initial_cprec \<equiv> \<lambda>_::thread. Prc 0 0"


text {* 

  \noindent The following function @{text "schs"} is used to calculate the
  system's schedule state @{text "schs s"} out of the current system state
  @{text "s"}. It is the central function to model Priority Inheritance.

  \begin{minipage}{0.9\textwidth}

  -- {*
  \begin{minipage}{0.9\textwidth}
  \begin{enumerate}
  \item @{text "ps"} is the schedule state of last moment.
  \item @{text "pwq"} is the waiting queue function of last moment.
  \item @{text "pcp"} is the precedence function of last moment (NOT USED). 
  \item @{text "nwq"} is the new waiting queue function. It is calculated using a @{text "case"} statement:
  \begin{enumerate}
      \item If the happening event is @{text "P thread cs"}, @{text "thread"} is added to 
            the end of @{text "cs"}'s waiting queue.
      \item If the happening event is @{text "V thread cs"} and @{text "s"} is a legal state,
            @{text "th'"} must equal to @{text "thread"}, 
            because @{text "thread"} is the one currently holding @{text "cs"}. 
            The case @{text "[] \<Longrightarrow> []"} may never be executed in a legal state.
            the @{text "(SOME q. distinct q \<and> set q = set qs)"} is used to choose arbitrarily one 
            thread in waiting to take over the released resource @{text "cs"}. In our representation,
            this amounts to rearrange elements in waiting queue, so that one of them is put at the head.
      \item For other happening event, the schedule state just does not change.
  \end{enumerate}
  \item @{text "ncp"} is new precedence function, it is calculated from the newly updated waiting queue 
        function. The RAGency of precedence function on waiting queue function is the reason to 
        put them in the same record so that they can evolve together.
  \end{enumerate}
  

  The calculation of @{text "cprec_fun"} depends on the value of @{text "wq_fun"}. 
  Therefore, in the following cases, @{text "wq_fun"} is always calculated first, in 
  the name of @{text "wq"} (if  @{text "wq_fun"} is not changed
  by the happening event) or @{text "new_wq"} (if the value of @{text "wq_fun"} is changed).

  critical resource and thread respectively out of RAG nodes.

  The following predicate @{text "next_th"} describe the next thread to 
  take over when a critical resource is released. In @{text "next_th s th cs t"}, 
  @{text "th"} is the thread to release, @{text "t"} is the one to take over.
  Notice how this definition is backed up by the @{text "release"} function and its use 
  in the @{text "V"}-branch of @{text "schs"} function. This @{text "next_th"} function
  is not needed for the execution of PIP. It is introduced as an auxiliary function 
  to state lemmas. The correctness of this definition will be confirmed by 
  lemmas @{text "step_v_hold_inv"}, @{text " step_v_wait_inv"}, 
  @{text "step_v_get_hold"} and @{text "step_v_not_wait"}.

text {*
  The operation @{term P} is used by a thread to request for resources, while
  @{term V} is used to release. Therefore, the number of resources
  held by a thread roughly equals to the number of @{term P} it made minus 
  the number of @{term V}. The equality is rough because the @{term P}-operation
  might be blocked and fail to give back the holding of the requested resource.
  In the following, @{text "cntP"} and @{text "cntV"} are the number of @{term P}
  and @{term "V"} respectively, while @{term cntCS} is the number 
  resources held by a thread and @{text "pvD"} is introduced to account for 
  the above mentioned situation when @{term P} is blocked, so that 
  a equation between @{text cntP}, @{text "cntV"}, @{text "cntCS"} can be established
  (in the lemma named @{text "valid_trace.cnp_cnv_cncs"}).

  Such a equation, once established, is very handy, because the number of resources 
  held by a thread can be calculated by counting the number of @{term P} and @{text V},
  which is relatively easy.
