To the best of my knowledge, seL4 (http://sel4.systems/) is the only protected-mode real-time OS with a complete and sound WCET analysis, see

All other systems that claim suitability for hard RT use an unsound empirical approach (i.e. put a high load on the system, measure response time, add a fudge factor).
