a BSP (c4xsim) supporting the simulator included with gdb. This port
was done by Joel Sherrill and Jennifer Averett of OAR Corporation.
Also included with this port is a space/time optimization to eliminate
FP context switch management on CPUs without hardware or software FP.
An issue with this port was that sizeof(unsigned32) = sizeof(unsigned8)
on this CPU. This required addressing alignment checks and assumptions
as well as fixing code that assumed sizeof(unsigned32) == 4.
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.
Rearranged code to created thread handler routines to initialize,
start, restart, and "close/delete" a thread.
Made internal threads their own object class. This now uses the
thread support routines for starting and initializing a thread.
Insured deleted tasks are freed to the Inactive pool associated with the
correct Information block.
Added an RTEMS API specific data area to the thread control block.
Beginnings of removing the word "rtems" from the core.
