Check that no ask help request is registered during unblock and yield
scheduler operations. There is no need to ask for help if a scheduled
thread yields, since this is already covered by the pre-emption
detection.
Update #2556.
Use r8 instead of r5 to slightly optimize _CPU_Context_switch(). It is
not a big deal, however, we already assume r12 is used by
_CPU_Context_switch(). Treat r5 the in same way.
The driver already was developed with SMP in mind however SMP was
disabled waiting for final fixups and testing.
The new function to control the affinity of the ISR was added
but does not work for now since the LEON BSP does not reroute
IRQs between CPUs during run-time:
grspw_isr_affinity()
In shared interrupt systems it might be a problem to handle the interrupt
regardless of the interrupt is enabled. Now the same approach to the
DMA RX/TX interrupt in the ISR is taken.
This patch introduces some new options to let the user control when
the ISR shall disable DMA RX/TX interrupt. The ISR can be set in three
modes when a RX/TX DMA interrupt is asserted:
1) ISR will always clear both RX/TX DMA interrupt enable. (DEFAULT).
2) ISR will never never RX or TX DMA interrupt enable, ISR will
leave RX/TX DMA interrupt enable untouched.
3) ISR will clear the interrupt enable(s) causing the interrupt,
this allows separate RX and TX IRQ handling.
This patch is backwards compatible since default mode 1) is activated
when the grspw_dma_config.flags DMAFLAGS2_IRQD field is 0.
Added new function:
* grspw_dma_ctrlsts() - Read value of DMA CTRL/STS reg.
* grspw_dma_enable_int() - re-enable interrupt, used when
implementing a custom work-task.
Following changes:
* possible for user to create work-tasks and assign custom message queues.
* possible for user to override default ISR message to implement custom
handling of DMA error, DMA RX/TX and link error from ISR.
* work-task now checks message to determine which work to perform rather than
looking at registers only, this makes it possible for user to implement
custom handling.
* exported work-queue message definitions and separated them so that a user
can assign custom DMA RX/TX handling of a specific DMA channel.
* added a work-task event callback to let user add custom handling or
monitoring of DMA Stop, DMA error, Link Error or work-task exits etc.
- Fixed grspw_dma_tx_send() so that it does not fail when an empty user packet
is provided.
- Added empty checks on some of the list handling inline functions for
GRSPW_PKT. Their use by the driver may be correct already, but the user might
not have been aware of the assumptions that certain lists had to be non-empty.
By introducing a spearate RX and TX DMA channel semaphore RX
operations and TX operations does not block each other. Stopping
a DMA channel needs now to take both RX and TX semaphores to
block out both RX and TX tasks.
