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.
For i.MX7 U-Boot initializes the system counter. On i.MX6 Barebox is
often used which doesn't initialize the counter. With this patch, we try
to auto-detect whether the counter is initialized or not and do the
initialization ourself if necessary.
Closes#3869
Set the VBAR to the vector table in the start section before
bsp_start_hook_0() is called to earlier handle exceptions in RTEMS.
Set the VBAR to the normal vector table in start.S for the main
processor. Secondary processors set it in bsp_start_hook_0().
Update #4202.
This breaks AArch32-specific portions of the ARM GPT driver into their
own file so that the generic code can be moved for reuse by other
architectures.
The chip select lines of the iMX SPI module doesn't work well for a
generic API like the one RTEMS uses. The existing solution only worked
in some special cases and had odd bugs when trying transfers of
different sizes (like deselecting between each byte for lengths that are
not dividable by 4).
With this patch the same approach like on FreeBSD or Linux is used:
Treat the CS lines as GPIOs.
Update 3869
Use RTEMS_SYSINIT_ORDER_LAST_BUT_5 instead of RTEMS_SYSINIT_ORDER_LAST
to allow applications and support functions to place system
initialization handlers behind the standard handlers.
Update #3838.
The work area initialization was done by the BSP through
bsp_work_area_initialize(). This approach predated the system
initialization through the system initialization linker set. The
workspace and C program heap were unconditionally initialized. The aim
is to support RTEMS application configurations which do not need the
workspace and C program heap. In these configurations, the workspace
and C prgram heap should not get initialized.
Change all bsp_work_area_initialize() to implement _Memory_Get()
instead. Move the dirty memory, sbrk(), per-CPU data, workspace, and
malloc() heap initialization into separate system initialization steps.
This makes it also easier to test the individual initialization steps.
This change adds a dependency to _Heap_Extend() to all BSPs. This
dependency will be removed in a follow up change.
Update #3838.
The imx BSP contained a hack to change the workspace entry of the MMU
table. This makes the used define visible for other BSPs too so that the
same hack can be used for example in raspberry pi too.
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.
Adjust various build files. Remove automatic generation of the
c/src/lib/libbsp/*/acinclude.m4 files from bootstrap script.
This patch is a part of the BSP source reorganization.
Update #3285.
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.
