This fixes the corruption of r3 by the call to
bsp_start_arm_drop_hyp_mode().
Moving the code makes it easier to review changes in start.S.
Close#3773.
- Allow the RTEMS_ROOT to be conditionally supplied. This
can be a staging area before being moved to the final
install prefix location.
- Update the default.cfg to use RTEMS_ROOT and to not rely on
the exec_prefix so it's paths can be staged.
- Fix and add the needed configure subs.
Closes#3768
In order to simplify the use of CPU counter values it is beneficial to
have monotonic increasing values within the range of the CPU counter
ticks data type, e.g. 32-bit unsigned integer. This eases the use of
CPU counter timestamps in external tools which do not know the details
of the CPU counter hardware. The CPU counter is the fastest way to get
a time on an RTEMS system.
Such a CPU counter may be also used as the timecounter. Use it on SPARC
for this purpose to simplify the clock drivers.
Update #3456.
This is needed for building rtems correctly with Clang.
Note that this change does not mean rtems can build correctly with
mainline clang. However the change allows building rtems with a
Clang toolchain that has a rtems frontend similar that of GCC's
builtin rtems specs.
The APIC timer is calibrated by running the i8254 PIT for a fraction of a
second (determined by PIT_CALIBRATE_DIVIDER) and counting how many times the
APIC counter has ticked. The calibration can be run multiple times (determined
by APIC_TIMER_NUM_CALIBRATIONS) and averaged out.
Updates #2898.
The genmcf548x partly uses is own implementation of the interrupt
extension API for libbsd support.
This patch is a part of the BSP source reorganization.
Update #3285.
Remove _CPU_ISR_install_raw_handler() and _CPU_ISR_install_vector()
functions. Applications can install an exception handler via the fatal
error handler to handle synchronous exceptions.
Handle interrupt exceptions via _RISCV_Interrupt_dispatch() which must
be provided by the BSP.
Update #3433.
Current state:
- Basic context initialization and switching code.
- Stubbed console (empty functions).
- Mostly functional linker script (may need tweaks if we ever want to move
away from the large code model (see: CPU_CFLAGS).
- Fully functional boot, by using FreeBSD's bootloader to load RTEMS's ELF for
UEFI-awareness.
In short, the current state with this commit lets us boot, go through the system
initialization functions, and then call user application's Init task too.
Updates #2898.
