* Coding style cleanups.
* Use OS reserved trap 0x89 for IRQ Disable
* Use OS reserved trap 0x8A for IRQ Enable
* Add to SPARC CPU supplement documentation
This will result in faster Disable/Enable code since the
system trap handler does not need to decode which function
the user wants. Besides the IRQ disable/enabled can now
be inline which avoids the caller to take into account that
o0-o7+g1-g4 registers are destroyed by trap handler.
It was also possible to reduce the interrupt trap handler by
five instructions due to this.
Use register g6 for the per-CPU control of the current processor. The
register g6 is reserved for the operating system by the SPARC ABI. On
Linux register g6 is used for a similar purpose with the same method
since 1996.
The register g6 must be initialized during system startup and then must
remain unchanged.
Since the per-CPU control is used in all critical sections of the
operating system, this is a performance optimization for the operating
system core procedures. An additional benefit is that the low-level
context switch and interrupt processing code is now identical on non-SMP
and SMP configurations.
The registers g2 through g4 are reserved for applications. GCC uses
them as volatile registers by default. So they are treated like
volatile registers in RTEMS as well.
Add a CPU counter interface to allow access to a free-running counter.
It is useful to measure short time intervals. This can be used for
example to enable profiling of critical low-level functions.
Add two busy wait functions rtems_counter_delay_ticks() and
rtems_counter_delay_nanoseconds() implemented via the CPU counter.
Port
+ v850 does not have appear to have any optimized bit scan instructions
+ v850 does have single instructions for wap u16 and u32
+ Code path optimization preferences set
+ Add BSP variants for each GCC CPU model flag and a README
- v850e1 variant does not work (fails during BSP initialization)
BSP for GDB v850 Simulator
+ linkcmds matches defaults in GDB simulator with RTEMS mods
+ crt1.c added from v850 newlib port for __main()
+ BSP exits cleanly
+ printk and console I/O work
+ uses clock tick from IDLE task
+ Tests not requiring real clock ISR work
Documentation
+ CPU Supplment chapter for v850 added
Script does what is expected and tries to do it as
smartly as possible.
+ remove occurrences of two blank comment lines
next to each other after Id string line removed.
+ remove entire comment blocks which only exited to
contain CVS Ids
+ If the processing left a blank line at the top of
a file, it was removed.
