* cpu.c, rtems/score/cpu.h: Bug report from Peter Mueller
<peter.o.mueller@gmx.de> because of not correcting for the ISR
vector table now being allocated from the workspace.
port only uses System V IPC for shared memory and semaphores to
communicate between nodes in a multiprocessor configuration. If you
disable multiprocessing, then this code should be unused. Thus systems
like Cygwin which are POSIX but do not support System V IPC should
not work.
sigemptyset(&old_mask) needed to be added on glibc2 systems. Ian
Lance Taylor pointed out that sigemptyset() is portable so Joel removed
all conditionals around calls to sigemptyset().
After upgrading my linux box to the brand new SuSE 6.2 release, which is
glibc-2.1 based, I came across a bug in RTEMS - IIRC, I even warned you
about it about 1/2 a year ago, but nothing has been done since then :-.
The *.m4 macros to check for SYSV/IPC are broken for linux/glibc2.1,
because they assume that linux always defines union semun, which isn't
true anymore for glibc2.1 (the manpage for semctl states _X_OPEN
specifies it this way). Therefore I have tried to implement a more
general approach for handling SYSV for unix/posix which checks for
presence of struct semun, instead of trying to evaluate OS specific
preprocessor symbols.
This approach is a bit adventureous, because I only tested it with
linux/glibc2.1 and linux/libc5, but not under other Unix variants RTEMS
supports. I am quite confident it will work on other hosts, too, but who
knows :-.
[FYI: I think this might also is the cause of some problems with RedHat
6.X / Mandrake linux recently reported on the rtems list -- rtems-4.0.0
can not be build for posix on any glibc2.1 based host]
Furthermore the patch below contains a couple of minor fixes and
configuration cleanups, which IMO should be applied before releasing a
new snapshot.
To apply this patch:
cd <source-tree>
patch -p1 < rtems-rc-19990709-8.diff
./autogen
I just happened across the sync_io support in
c/src/exec/score/cpu/unix/cpu.c
(is this documented anywhere?). That looked more useful than the
signal driven I/O I was using before, so I tried it. I ran across a
few bugs in the way it uses select.
Select changes its fd_set arguments, so you can't use global variables
for them. You have to copy them into local variables first.
If select returns -1 with errno set to EINTR, then it has not changed
any of the fd_sets. You can't start looking at them.
When clearing a descriptor, the code has the usual select off by one
error when setting sync_io_nfds.
I don't see how this code could ever have worked correctly.
I have appended a patch for the problems I found.
in the unix port idle thread task. This should keep the entire application
from blocking when any component does a blocking application. Also added
TOD_MICROSECONDS_TO_TICKS.
GNU autoconf. This is the first large step in allowing an RTEMS
user to perform a one-tree build (per crossgcc FAQ) including RTEMS
in the build process. With this change RTEMS is configured in
built in the same style as the GNU tools, yet retains the basic
structure of its traditional Makefiles (ala Tony Bennett).
Jiri Gaisler (jgais@wd.estec.esa.nl) deserves (and received)
a big thank you for doing this.
There are still issues to be resolved but as of this commit, all target
which can be built on a linux host have been using a modified version
of the source Jiri submitted. This source was merged and most targets
built in the tree before this commit.
There are some issues which remain to be resolved but they are primarily
related to host OS dependencies, script issues, the use of gawk
for hack_specs, and the dependence on gcc snapshots. These will
be resolved.
single biggest changes were the expansion of the workspace size
macro to include other types of objects and the increase in the
minimum stack size for most CPUs.
Configuration Table Template file added and all tests
modified to use this. All gvar.h and conftbl.h files
removed from test directories.
Configuration parameter maximum_devices added.
Core semaphore and mutex handlers added and RTEMS API Semaphore
Manager updated to reflect this.
Initialization sequence changed to invoke API specific initialization
routines. Initialization tasks table now owned by RTEMS Tasks Manager.
Added user extension for post-switch.
Utilized user extensions to implement API specific functionality
like signal dispatching.
Added extensions to the System Initialization Thread so that an
API can register a function to be invoked while the system
is being initialized. These are largely equivalent to the
pre-driver and post-driver hooks.
Added the Modules file oar-go32_p5, modified oar-go32, and modified
the file make/custom/go32.cfg to look at an environment varable which
determines what CPU model is being used.
All BSPs updated to reflect named devices and clock driver's IOCTL
used by the Shared Memory Driver. Also merged clock isr into
main file and removed ckisr.c where possible.
Updated spsize to reflect new and moved variables.
Makefiles for the executive source and include files updated to show
break down of files into Core, RTEMS API, and Neither.
Header and inline files installed into subdirectory based on whether
logically in the Core or a part of the RTEMS API.
