A speciality of the RTEMS build system was the make preinstall step. It
copied header files from arbitrary locations into the build tree. The
header files were included via the -Bsome/build/tree/path GCC command
line option.
This has at least seven problems:
* The make preinstall step itself needs time and disk space.
* Errors in header files show up in the build tree copy. This makes it
hard for editors to open the right file to fix the error.
* There is no clear relationship between source and build tree header
files. This makes an audit of the build process difficult.
* The visibility of all header files in the build tree makes it
difficult to enforce API barriers. For example it is discouraged to
use BSP-specifics in the cpukit.
* An introduction of a new build system is difficult.
* Include paths specified by the -B option are system headers. This
may suppress warnings.
* The parallel build had sporadic failures on some hosts.
This patch removes the make preinstall step. All installed header
files are moved to dedicated include directories in the source tree.
Let @RTEMS_CPU@ be the target architecture, e.g. arm, powerpc, sparc,
etc. Let @RTEMS_BSP_FAMILIY@ be a BSP family base directory, e.g.
erc32, imx, qoriq, etc.
The new cpukit include directories are:
* cpukit/include
* cpukit/score/cpu/@RTEMS_CPU@/include
* cpukit/libnetworking
The new BSP include directories are:
* bsps/include
* bsps/@RTEMS_CPU@/include
* bsps/@RTEMS_CPU@/@RTEMS_BSP_FAMILIY@/include
There are build tree include directories for generated files.
The include directory order favours the most general header file, e.g.
it is not possible to override general header files via the include path
order.
The "bootstrap -p" option was removed. The new "bootstrap -H" option
should be used to regenerate the "headers.am" files.
Update #3254.
Use a self-contained recursive mutex for API_Mutex_Control. The API
mutexes are protected against asynchronous thread cancellation.
Add dedicated mutexes for libatomic and TOD.
Close#2629.
Close#2630.
The previous rtems_panic() implementation was quite heavy weight. It
depended on _exit() which calls the global destructors. It used
fprintf(stderr, ...) for output which depends on an initialized console
device and the complex fprintf().
Introduce a new fatal source RTEMS_FATAL_SOURCE_PANIC for rtems_panic()
and output via vprintk().
Update #3244.
Provide functions to get the version string, major, minor and revision
numbers and the version control identifer that is a unique tag for
the version control system.
Update #3199.
For semaphore object pointer and object validation see
POSIX_SEMAPHORE_VALIDATE_OBJECT().
Destruction or close of a busy semaphore returns an error status. The
object is not flushed.
POSIX semaphores are now available in all configurations and no longer
depend on --enable-posix.
Update #2514.
Update #3116.
The EDF SMP scheduler supports simple thread processor affinities
(see #3059) with a small run-time overhead. The current default SMP
scheduler lacks support for thread processor affinities at all. The EDF
SMP scheduler offers a good feature set for most applications. So, use
it by default. Run-time libraries like libgomp, MTAPI, work stealing
schedulers, language interpreters (e.g. Erlang virtual machine),
maintainence of per-processor data (e.g. Universal Memory Allocator
(UMA)), etc. use a one-to-one thread processor affinity for example.
Update #3063.
Do not use the processor count to determine if SMP is enabled. Instead
use a dedicated configuration option. Enable SMP by default in SMP
configurations.
Add CONFIGURE_DISABLE_SMP_CONFIGURATION to all test which would fail
otherwise.
Update #3001.
Enable the SMP configuration by default in case SMP is enabled. Add
configuration option CONFIGURE_DISABLE_SMP_CONFIGURATION to disable it
explicitly.
Add CONFIGURE_DISABLE_SMP_CONFIGURATION to all test which would fail
otherwise.
Update #3001.
Add POSIX shared memory manager (Shm). Includes a hook-based
approach for the backing memory storage that defaults to the
Workspace, and a test is provided using the heap. A test is
also provided for the basic use of mmap'ing a shared memory
object. This test currently fails at the mmap stage due to
no support for mmap.
