The rtems_monitor_task() setups/updates termios attributes
of the opened TTY and if there is ongoing some other output
it leads to the stuck.
It would be better to use some termios API function which
would call drainOutput() in rtems/cpukit/libcsupport/src/termios.c.
But functionality is not accessible outside of core termios
implementation.
The loop waiting for last character to be sent has to be there anyway
because hardware does not provide Tx machine/shift register empty
interrupt.
Memory content changes caused by relocation has to be
propagated to memory/cache level which is used/snooped
during instruction cache fill.
Closes#2438
Enable even the first megabyte of SDRAM to be cache-able after
problems with stale cache content has been resolved by previous commit.
Because major part of application usually fits to the first
megabyte this speedups test dhrystone application by factor 40.
This fix strange behavior where some stale content has been
stored in level 2 cache before RTEMS has been start from U-boot
which has reappeared after MMU enable and shadow vector
table at start of SDRAM.
Next cache operations should work on most of cores now
rtems_cache_flush_entire_data()
rtems_cache_invalidate_entire_data()
rtems_cache_invalidate_entire_instruction()
Instruction cache invalidate works on the first level for now only.
Data cacache operations are extended to ensure flush/invalidate
on all cache levels.
The CP15 arm_cp15_data_cache_clean_all_levels() function extended
to continue through unified levels too (ctype = 4).
Disabling MMU requires complex cache flushing and invalidation
operations. There is almost no way how to do that right
on SMP system without stopping all other CPUs. On the other hand,
there is documented sequence of operations which should be used
according to ARM manual and it guarantees even distribution
of maintenance operations to other cores for last generation
of Cortex-A cores with multiprocessor extension.
This change could require addition of appropriate entry
to arm_cp15_start_mmu_config_table for some BSPs to ensure
that MMU table stays accessible after MMU is enabled
{
.begin = (uint32_t) bsp_translation_table_base,
.end = (uint32_t) bsp_translation_table_base + 0x4000,
.flags = ARMV7_MMU_DATA_READ_WRITE_CACHED

. added a README to pwm
. added select_pwmss() to select pwmss-generic registers, as opposed
to PWM-specific registers
. added pwmss_clock_en_status(), beagle_pwmss_is_running() and pwmss_tb_clock_check()
. other API improvements
. style improvements
This partially reverts 38ee75853f. Let
the calling context decide if interrupts must be disabled or not. The
goal is to enable fatal extensions to continue program execution after
some fatal errors.
This patch adapts the previously added Beaglebone PWM code from BBBIO to RTEMS.
This work was done in the context of the Google Summer of Code 2016, and further
patches will follow to improve the code quality and documentation.
The basic data and instruction rage functions should be compatible
for all ARMv4,5,6,7 functions. On the other hand, some functions
are not portable, for example arm_cp15_data_cache_test_and_clean()
and arm_cp15_data_cache_invalidate() for all versions and there
has to be specialized version for newer cores.
arm_cache_l1_properties_for_level uses CCSIDR which is not present
on older chips.
Actual version is only experimental, needs more changes
and problem has been found on RPi1 with dlopen so there seems
to be real problem.
Synchronize each cluster of sections of the same type separately
to support even cases where text and data are allocated from different
areas (for example due allocation from different MPU protection regions).
rtems_cache_instruction_sync_after_code_change is called even to data
sections. Propagation of data only changes should not require cache
maintenance operation on sane SMP mutithread capable systems if barrier
instruction is added but be on safe side even for case where self
modifying code uses data sections initial values etc.
The original ARM architecture wide cache_.h is changed to dummy version
for targets not implementing/enablig cache at all.
The ARM targets equipped by cache should include
appropriate implementation.
Next options are available for now
c/src/lib/libbsp/arm/shared/armv467ar-basic-cache/cache_.h
basic ARM cache integrated on the CPU core directly
which requires only CP15 oparations
c/src/lib/libbsp/arm/shared/arm-l2c-310/cache_.h
support for case where ARM L2C-310 cache controller
is used. It is accessible as mmaped peripheral.
c/src/lib/libbsp/arm/shared/armv7m/include/cache_.h
Cortex-M specific cache support
There is need for unambiguous named and defined cache function
which should be called when code is updated, loaded
or is self-modifying.
There should be function to obtain maximal cache line length
as well. This function can and should be used for allocations
which can be used for data and or code and ensures that
there are no partial cache lines overlaps on start and
end of allocated region.
When HYP mode is detected at startup then setup HYP mode
vectors table (for future extensions) clean exceptions
switching to HYP mode and switch CPU to ARM SVC mode.
BSPs which want to use this support need to include next option
in their configure.ac
RTEMS_BSPOPTS_SET([BSP_START_IN_HYP_SUPPORT],[*],[1])
RTEMS_BSPOPTS_HELP([BSP_START_IN_HYP_SUPPORT], [Support start of BSP in ARM HYP mode])
AM_CONDITIONAL(BSP_START_IN_HYP_SUPPORT,test "$BSP_START_IN_HYP_SUPPORT" = "1")
and need to include next lines in corresponding Makefile.am
if BSP_START_IN_HYP_SUPPORT
libbsp_a_SOURCES += ../shared/startup/bsp-start-in-hyp-support.S
endif
The main reason for inclusion of minimum hypervisor related defines
is that current ARM boards firmware and loaders (U-boot for example)
start loaded operating system kernel in HYP mode to allow it take
control of virtualization (Linux/KVM for example).
Provide the scheduler node to initialize or destroy to the corresponding
operations. This makes it possible to have more than one scheduler node
per thread.
Task priorities are only valid within a scheduler instance. The
rtems_task_set_scheduler() directive moves a task from one scheduler
instance to another using the current priority of the thread. However,
the current task priority of the source scheduler instance is undefined
in the target scheduler instance. Add a third parameter to specify the
priority.
Close#2749.
The ARM and PowerPC interrupt epilogues call _Thread_Dispatch() with
interrupts disabled (counter example: SPARC).
On SMP configurations, since inter-processor interrupts set the thread
dispatch necessary indicator this prevents a thread dispatch
notification in post-switch handlers (which all run with interrupts
disabled).
On all configurations, this is a serious issue for the interrupt
latency.
Update #2751
