Contributions summary:Kuan-hsun primarily focused on enhancing the Real-Time Operating System (RTEMS) related to rate monotonic scheduling (RMS) and the handling of overrun situations. Their work included adding new functions for managing postponed jobs, refining existing functions, and introducing a new variable to track postponed jobs within the `rtems_rate_monotonic_period_status` structure. The user also created and revised test cases to verify the correct behavior of the RMS scheduler regarding deadline misses and the handling of postponed jobs, ensuring the system's stability and responsiveness under real-time constraints.
