This primitive test case memory allocator uses memory from the low-level
memory information provided by the BSP. At the beginning of each test
case, the memory available to the test case is reinitialized. This
allows the use of a simple allocate only allocator.
This fixes warnings like this:
warning: implicit declaration of function 'rtems_interrupt_disable'
warning: implicit declaration of function 'rtems_interrupt_enable'
warning: implicit declaration of function 'rtems_interrupt_flash'
The shell has an 'fdisk' command which has sub-commands 'mount' and 'unmount'.
These two sub-commands have a bug which causes them to be not able
to mount anything. This proposed patch removes the buggy file
cpukit/libblock/src/bdpart-mount.c and the mount/unmount commands
from 'fdisk' as bug fix. The 'fdisk' command itself is not removed.
The reasons for removing the sub-commands (instead of fixing the issue) are:
1) The bug has been introduced on 2010-May-31 with commit
29e92b090c. Since ten years no one
can use this feature, nor has anybody complained about it.
2) Besides of the 'fdisk' 'mount' sub-command, the shell has the
usual 'mount' and 'unmount' commands which can serve as
substitutes.
3) There are additional minor issues (see further down) which needed to
be addressed when the file will be kept.
What follows below is the precise bug description.
The bug is in function rtems_bdpart_mount() which is only be used
by the 'fdisk' shell command to mount all partitions of a disk with a
single command:
> fdisk DISK_NAME mount
> mounts the file system of each partition of the disk
>
> fdisk DISK_NAME unmount
> unmounts the file system of each partition of the disk
The whole command does not work because in file
cpukit/libblock/src/bdpart-mount.c line 103 specifies the file system type
of each partition to be "msdos". Yet, "msdos" does not exist. The name
must be "dosfs".
Beside of this fundamental problem, there are more issues with the code
in bdpart-mount.c:
1) The function returns RTEMS_SUCCESSFUL despite the mount always fails.
2) The reason for errors is not written to the terminal.
3) The directory '/mnt' is created but not deleted later on (failure or not).
3) There is no documentation about this special 'fdisk' feature in the
RTEMS Shell Guide ('fdisk' is mentioned but its documentation is a
bit short):
https://docs.rtems.org/branches/master/shell/
file_and_directory.html#fdisk-format-disk
4) Only "msdos" formatted partitions can be mounted and all partitions
are mounted read-only. This is hard coded and cannot be changed by
options. Moreover, there is no information about this to the user of
the shell (i.e. using 'fdisk' mount requires insider knowledge).
How to reproduce:
1) For testing, I use the 'testsuites/samples/fileio.exe' sample with qemu:
> cd rtems
> env QEMU_AUDIO_DRV="none" qemu-system-arm -net none -nographic \
> -M realview-pbx-a9 -m 256M -kernel \
> build/arm/realview_pbx_a9_qemu/testsuites/samples/fileio.exe
2) Type any key to stop the timer and enter the sample tool.
Type 's' to enter the shell, login as 'root' with the password
shown in the terminal.
3) Type the following shell commands (they create a RAM disk,
partition it, register it, format it and try to mount it):
> mkrd
> fdisk /dev/rda fat32 16 write mbr
> fdisk /dev/rda register
> mkdos /dev/rda1
> fdisk /dev/rda mount
4) The last line above is the command which fails - without an error
message. There exists a '/mnt' directory but no '/mnt/rda1' directory
as it should be:
> ls -la /mnt
5) If you change line 103 of 'cpukit/libblock/src/bdpart-mount.c'
from "msdos" to "dosfs", compile and build the executable and
re-run the above test, '/mnt/rda1' exists (but the file system
is mounted read-only).
Close#4131
This breaks AArch32-specific portions of the ARM GPT driver into their
own file so that the generic code can be moved for reuse by other
architectures.
Before this patch RTEMS_Malloc_Initialize() had a fixed dependency on
_Workspace_Area. Introduce _Workspace_Malloc_initializer to have this
dependency only if CONFIGURE_UNIFIED_WORK_AREAS is defined by the
application configuration.
The Autoconf/Automake build system did something similar. This fixes
the build of sigprogmask.c which uses RTEMS_POSIX_API and expects to get
it defined via "config.h".
Update #3818.
In contrast to message queues created by rtems_message_queue_create(), the
message queues constructed by this directive use a user-provided message buffer
storage area.
Add RTEMS_MESSAGE_QUEUE_BUFFER() to define a message buffer type for message
buffer storage areas.
Update #4007.
Move the CORE_message_queue_Buffer definition to a separate header file to be
able to use it independent of the remaining Message Queue Handler API.
Change license to BSD-2-Clause according to file history.
Update #3053.
Update #4007.
