Add a new interrupt server driven Termios mode (TERMIOS_IRQ_DRIVEN).
This mode is identical to the interrupt driven mode except that a mutex
is used for device level locking. The intended use case for this mode
are device drivers that use the interrupt server, e.g. SPI or I2C
connected devices.
Update #2839.
Termios has a task driven mode (TERMIOS_TASK_DRIVEN). This mode aims to
avoid long sections with disabled interrupts. This is only partly
implemented since the device level state is still protected by disabled
interrupts. Use a mutex to protect the device level state in task driven
mode to fix this issue.
Update #2838.
Turn pthread_spinlock_t into a self-contained object. On uni-processor
configurations, interrupts are disabled in the lock/trylock operations
and the previous interrupt status is restored in the corresponding
unlock operations. On SMP configurations, a ticket lock is a acquired
and released in addition.
The self-contained pthread_spinlock_t object is defined by Newlib in
<sys/_pthreadtypes.h>.
typedef struct {
struct _Ticket_lock_Control _lock;
__uint32_t _interrupt_state;
} pthread_spinlock_t;
This implementation is simple and efficient. However, this test case of
the Linux Test Project would fail due to call of printf() and sleep()
during spin lock ownership:
https://github.com/linux-test-project/ltp/blob/master/testcases/open_posix_testsuite/conformance/interfaces/pthread_spin_lock/1-2.c
There is only limited support for profiling on SMP configurations.
Delete CORE spinlock implementation.
Update #2674.
This makes the new Termios devices independent of device major/minor
numbers. It enables BSP independent Termios device drivers which may
reside in the cpukit domain. These drivers require an IMFS and do not
work with the device file system. However, the device file system
should go away in the future.
The mq_open() function returns a descriptor to a POSIX message queue
object identified by a name. This is similar to sem_open(). In
contrast to the POSIX semaphore the POSIX message queues use a separate
object for the descriptor. This extra object is superfluous, since the
object identifier can be used directly for this purpose, just like for
the semaphores.
Update #2702.
Update #2555.
These were in libcsupport for historical reasons and the placement
no longer made sense.
As part of this move, some of the files were placed under subdirectories
which reflect their installed location.
Thank you git for allowing us to move files. Years of CVS resulted
in files being somewhere they no longer belonged.
Add path length parameter to
rtems_filesystem_eval_path_start_with_root_and_current() so that users
may pass paths without a '\0' termination.
Update #2558.
These header files were only used by one BSP and they are
hardware dependent. The hardware dependency always made
them bad candidates for where they were in the tree. But
this fixes that.
Move interrupt lock to device context and expose only this structure to
the read, write and set attributes device handler. This makes these
device handler independent of the general Termios infrastructure
suitable for direct use in printk() support.
This change starts with removing the effectively empty file
timerdrv.h. The prototypes for benchmark_timer_XXX() were in
btimer.h which was not universally used. Thus every use of
timerdrv.h had to be changed to btimer.h. Then the prototypes
for benchmark_timer_read() had to be adjusted to return
benchmark_timer_t rather than int or uint32_t.
I took this opportunity to also correct the file headers to
separate the copyright from the file description comments which
is needed to ensure the copyright isn't propagated into Doxygen
output.
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.
The thread control block contains fields that point to application
configuration dependent memory areas, like the scheduler information,
the API control blocks, the user extension context table, the RTEMS
notepads and the Newlib re-entrancy support. Account for these areas in
the configuration and avoid extra workspace allocations for these areas.
This helps also to avoid heap fragementation and reduces the per thread
memory due to a reduced heap allocation overhead.
