Sort the .noinit* input sections by name first, then by alignment if two
sections have the same name. This allows the placement of begin/end symbols to
initialize some areas with a special value.
Update #4678.
There is not really anything left from the referenced cpuinit.c file
from MPC8260ads CPU initialization. So ignore that part of the header
during rework.
Update #4625.
Do not return a status code in bsp_interrupt_facility_initialize() since this
leads to unreachable code in bsp_interrupt_initialize(). Use RTEMS_DEBUG
assertions in bsp_interrupt_facility_initialize() if necessary.
Add rtems_interrupt_raise_on() and rtems_interrupt_clear().
Add a default implementation which just returns RTEMS_UNSATISFIED for
valid parameters.
Update #3269.
Assert BSP_INTERRUPT_VECTOR_MAX + 1 == BSP_INTERRUPT_VECTOR_COUNT.
After building all BSPs with this patch, BSP_INTERRUPT_VECTOR_MAX can be
removed and replaced by BSP_INTERRUPT_VECTOR_COUNT. The
BSP_INTERRUPT_VECTOR_COUNT allows a default implementation which supports no
interrupt vector at all. Using COUNT instead of MAX may avoid some
interpretation issues, for example is the maximum value a valid vector number
or not.
Update #3269.
Remove BSP_INTERRUPT_VECTOR_MIN and unconditionally let interrupt vector
numbers start with zero.
The BSP_INTERRUPT_VECTOR_MIN == 0 invariant was tested by the previous commit
and building all BSPs.
Update #3269.
GCC 10 no longer passes -many to the assembler. This enables more
checks in the assembler.
The 0 in the tlbie instruction is the L operand which selects a 4KiB
page size.
Add and use <machine/rtems-bsd-kernel-space.h> and
<machine/rtems-bsd-user-space.h> similar to the libbsd to avoid command
line defines and defines scattered throught the code base.
Simplify cpukit/libnetworking/Makefile.am.
Update #3375.
Statically initialize the interrupt stack area
(_Configuration_Interrupt_stack_area_begin,
_Configuration_Interrupt_stack_area_end, and
_Configuration_Interrupt_stack_size) via <rtems/confdefs.h>. Place the
interrupt stack area in a special section ".rtemsstack.interrupt". Let
BSPs define the optimal placement of this section in their linker
command files (e.g. in a fast on-chip memory).
This change makes makes the CPU_HAS_SOFTWARE_INTERRUPT_STACK and
CPU_HAS_HARDWARE_INTERRUPT_STACK CPU port defines superfluous, since the
low level initialization code has all information available via global
symbols.
This change makes the CPU_ALLOCATE_INTERRUPT_STACK CPU port define
superfluous, since the interrupt stacks are allocated by confdefs.h for
all architectures. There is no need for BSP-specific linker command
file magic (except the section placement), see previous ARM linker
command file as a bad example.
Remove _CPU_Install_interrupt_stack(). Initialize the hardware
interrupt stack in _CPU_Initialize() if necessary (e.g.
m68k_install_interrupt_stack()).
The optional _CPU_Interrupt_stack_setup() is still useful to customize
the registration of the interrupt stack area in the per-CPU information.
The initialization stack can reuse the interrupt stack, since
* interrupts are disabled during the sequential system initialization,
and
* the boot_card() function does not return.
This stack resuse saves memory.
Changes per architecture:
arm:
* Mostly replace the linker symbol based configuration of stacks with
the standard <rtems/confdefs.h> configuration via
CONFIGURE_INTERRUPT_STACK_SIZE. The size of the FIQ, ABT and UND
mode stack is still defined via linker symbols. These modes are
rarely used in applications and the default values provided by the
BSP should be sufficient in most cases.
* Remove the bsp_processor_count linker symbol hack used for the SMP
support. This is possible since the interrupt stack area is now
allocated by the linker and not allocated from the heap. This makes
some configure.ac stuff obsolete. Remove the now superfluous BSP
variants altcycv_devkit_smp and realview_pbx_a9_qemu_smp.
bfin:
* Remove unused magic linker command file allocation of initialization
stack. Maybe a previous linker command file copy and paste problem?
In the start.S the initialization stack is set to a hard coded value.
lm32, m32c, mips, nios2, riscv, sh, v850:
* Remove magic linker command file allocation of initialization stack.
Reuse interrupt stack for initialization stack.
m68k:
* Remove magic linker command file allocation of initialization stack.
Reuse interrupt stack for initialization stack.
powerpc:
* Remove magic linker command file allocation of initialization stack.
Reuse interrupt stack for initialization stack.
* Used dedicated memory region (REGION_RTEMSSTACK) for the interrupt
stack on BSPs using the shared linkcmds.base (replacement for
REGION_RWEXTRA).
sparc:
* Remove the hard coded initialization stack. Use the interrupt stack
for the initialization stack on the boot processor. This saves
16KiB of RAM.
Update #3459.
Add rtems_counter_frequency() API function. Use it to initialize the
counter value converter via the new system initialization step
(RTEMS_SYSINIT_CPU_COUNTER). This decouples the counter implementation
and the counter converter. It avoids an unnecessary pull in of the
64-bit integer division from libgcc.
Update #3456.
