would work. At the same time, the initial implementation of F_SETFL
was added. A support routine was added to convert internal libio
flags back to the POSIX style. Eventually the internal representation
should be eliminated in the interest of simplicity and code reduction.
This problem was reported by Jake Janovetz <janovetz@tempest.ece.uiuc.edu>.
overhaul of the RTEMS system call interface. This base file system is
the "In-Memory File System" aka IMFS.
The design and implementation was done by the following people:
+ Joel Sherrill (joel@OARcorp.com)
+ Jennifer Averett (jennifer@OARcorp.com)
+ Steve "Mr Mount" Salitasc (salitasc@OARcorp.com)
+ Kerwin Wade (wade@OARcorp.com)
PROBLEMS
========
+ It is VERY likely that merging this will break the UNIX port. This
can/will be fixed.
+ There is likely some reentrancy/mutual exclusion needed.
+ Eventually, there should be a "mini-IMFS" description table to
eliminate links, symlinks, etc to save memory. All you need to
have "classic RTEMS" functionality is technically directories
and device IO. All the rest could be left out to save memory.
code in each BSP's bspstart.c. These changes were:
+ confdefs.h now knows libio's semaphore requirements
+ shared/main.c now copies Configuration to BSP_Configuration
+ shared/main.c fills in the Cpu_table with default values
This removed the need for rtems_libio_config() and the constant
BSP_LIBIO_MAX_FDS in every BSP. Plus now the maximum number of open
files can now be set on the gcc command line.
I've gone through and cleaned up the TFTP driver so that it fits
into the libio system. Here's the comment from the new driver:
/*
* Usage:
*
* To open `/bootfiles/image' on `hostname' for reading:
* fd = open ("/TFTP/hostname/bootfiles/image", O_RDONLY);
*
* The `hostname' can be a symbolic name or four
* dot-separated decimal values.
*
* To open a file on the host which supplied the BOOTP
* information just leave the `hostname' part empty:
* fd = open ("/TFTP//bootfiles/image", O_RDONLY);
*
*/
You can `fopen' TFTP files the same way:
fp = fopen (fullname, "r");
nread = fread (cbuf, sizeof cbuf[0], sizeof cbuf, fp);
The diff's are included below. I've also modified the TFTP demo
program and the bootstrap PROM example. They should be on my ftp
site `soon'.
The one thing I don't like is the way I had to do an end-run on the
libio routines to get errno passed back from my driver to the
application (since there are some errno codes that don't map to RTEMS
status codes). My approach was to set errno in the driver and have
the driver routine return an RTEMS status code that I `know' isn't in
the errno_assoc[] in libio.c.
Perhaps there should be an RTEMS_TRANPARENT_ERRNO status code (or
something similar) which driver routines could return to indicate
that the driver routine has set errno and that the libio routines
shouldn't attempt to map the returned status code to errno.
Actually, I think the entire I/O system needs looking at -- as
you've already mentioned. The hacks I've dropped in to syscalls.c to
make fstat work, for example, are *not* shining examples of good
code......
After weeks of trying to figure why my RTEMS/KASQ server crashes now
and then I found a nasty bug I introduced in adding multiple-driver
support to libio. The bug only affects `add-on' driver classes (like
the networking code). Old-style file descriptors were not affected.
The bug cleared 32 bytes of memory (unspecified location) whenever a
`close' of a socket was performed! I was clearing an IOP I hadn't
allocated -- and the pointer wasn't initiallized, either!
was done based on the 3.6.0 release and had to be autoconf'ed locally.
It is turned on is the bsp enables it and it is not explicitly disabled
via the configure option --disable-tcpip. As many warnings as possible
were removed locally after the code was merged. Only the gen68360
and mvme136 bsps were compiled this way.
The ka9q port and network driver were submitted by Eric Norum
(eric@skatter.USask.Ca).
The network demo programs are not included in the tree at this point.
statuses being returned to gnat runtime in order for it to raise
use_errors. This was needed to identify the places in gnat's runtime
which needed to be addressed.
Configuration Table Template file added and all tests
modified to use this. All gvar.h and conftbl.h files
removed from test directories.
Configuration parameter maximum_devices added.
Core semaphore and mutex handlers added and RTEMS API Semaphore
Manager updated to reflect this.
Initialization sequence changed to invoke API specific initialization
routines. Initialization tasks table now owned by RTEMS Tasks Manager.
Added user extension for post-switch.
Utilized user extensions to implement API specific functionality
like signal dispatching.
Added extensions to the System Initialization Thread so that an
API can register a function to be invoked while the system
is being initialized. These are largely equivalent to the
pre-driver and post-driver hooks.
Added the Modules file oar-go32_p5, modified oar-go32, and modified
the file make/custom/go32.cfg to look at an environment varable which
determines what CPU model is being used.
All BSPs updated to reflect named devices and clock driver's IOCTL
used by the Shared Memory Driver. Also merged clock isr into
main file and removed ckisr.c where possible.
Updated spsize to reflect new and moved variables.
Makefiles for the executive source and include files updated to show
break down of files into Core, RTEMS API, and Neither.
Header and inline files installed into subdirectory based on whether
logically in the Core or a part of the RTEMS API.
Rearranged code to created thread handler routines to initialize,
start, restart, and "close/delete" a thread.
Made internal threads their own object class. This now uses the
thread support routines for starting and initializing a thread.
Insured deleted tasks are freed to the Inactive pool associated with the
correct Information block.
Added an RTEMS API specific data area to the thread control block.
Beginnings of removing the word "rtems" from the core.
(tbennett@divnc.com) including the following major additions:
+ variable length messages
+ named devices
+ debug monitor
+ association tables/variables
