Add a new low-level device API to Termios that passes the TTY structure
to the low-level device functions. This greatly simplifies the
low-level device drivers since they are no longer forced to derive their
private data from the minor number.
It makes it possible to use the TTY low-level lock in the device driver
low-level functions which is necessary for proper SMP support. For
example to set the attributes it is often necessary to perform a
read-modify-write operation on a control register used also by interrupt
routines.
A compatibility layer is provided to support device drivers using the
old callback functions so it is not necessary to modify existing device
drivers.
Provide a file per BSP to list tests that do not build for a BSP. This change
removes the BSP_SMALL_MEMORY hack from the code. That hack was a
mistake.
Provide configuration files for each BSP with tests that cannot build.
This simplifies the RTEMS initialization and helps to avoid a memory
overhead. The workspace demands of the IO manager were not included in
the <rtems/confdefs.h> workspace size estimate. This is also fixed as a
side-effect.
Update documentation and move "Specifying Application Defined Device
Driver Table" to the section end. This sub-section is not that
important for the user. Mentioning this at the beginning may lead to
confusion.
This partially reverts commit 1215fd4d94.
In order to support profiling of SMP locks and provide a future
compatible SMP locks API it is necessary to add an SMP lock destroy
function. Since the commit above adds an SMP lock to each chain control
we would have to add a rtems_chain_destroy() function as well. This
complicates the chain usage dramatically. Thus revert the patch above.
A global SMP lock for all chains is used to implement the protected
chain operations.
Advantages:
* The SAPI chain API is now identical on SMP and non-SMP
configurations.
* The size of the chain control is reduced and is then equal to the
Score chains.
* The protected chain operations work correctly on SMP.
Disadvantage:
* Applications using many different chains and the protected operations
may notice lock contention.
The chain control size drop is a huge benefit (SAPI chain controls are
66% larger than the Score chain controls). The only disadvantage is not
really a problem since these applications can use specific interrupt
locks and unprotected chain operations to avoid this issue.
Merge systems states SYSTEM_STATE_SHUTDOWN and SYSTEM_STATE_FAILED into
new system state SYSTEM_STATE_TERMINATED. This reflects that all system
termination paths end up in _Internal_error_Occurred().
Alter the output to avoid sending out what is the MI protocol. The SIS
simulator is currently broken and outputs directly to GDB's stdout and
so this output gets parsed as MI output.
Add ISR lock to chain control for proper SMP protection. Replace
rtems_chain_extract() with rtems_chain_explicit_extract() and
rtems_chain_insert() with rtems_chain_explicit_insert() on SMP
configurations. Use rtems_chain_explicit_extract() and
rtems_chain_explicit_insert() to provide SMP support.
Move implementation specific parts of rbtree.h and rbtree.inl into new
header file rbtreeimpl.h. The rbtree.h contains now only the
application visible API.
