The previous implementation used an instruction cache line size of 0,
this is a bogus value. Use a instruction cache line size of 64 since
the L2 cache may have a line size of 32 or 64. A greater value should
cause no harm.
Use a FLUSH operation for _CPU_cache_invalidate_instruction_range().
This is a preperation step to support the L2 cache.
The SPARC processors supported by RTEMS have no built-in CPU counter
support. We have to use some hardware counter module for this purpose.
The BSP must provide a 32-bit register which contains the current CPU
counter value and a function for the difference calculation. It can use
for example the GPTIMER instance used for the clock driver.
The 32-bit ABIs for thread-local storage (TLS) and EABI read-only
small-data area have a conflicting register (r2) usage. Use the System
V small-data instead (here r2 is system reserved).
Remove RTEMS_COMPILER_PURE_ATTRIBUTE from _SMP_Get_current_processor()
and all _CPU_SMP_Get_current_processor(). Make inline ASM statements
volatile again. Test smptests/smpmigration01 showed that GCC optimizes
too much otherwise.
Wait for per-CPU changes into PER_CPU_STATE_READY_TO_BEGIN_MULTITASKING
later. There is no need to delay the initialization of the main
processor at this point.
Since the per-CPU SMP lock must be acquired and released to send the
message a single interrupt broadcast operations offers no benefits. If
synchronization is required, then a SMP barrier must be used anyway.
Use rtems_fatal() instead of _CPU_Fatal_halt() to shutdown processors in
SMP configurations since this allows intervention of BSP or application
specific fatal extensions.
Merge RTEMS_FATAL_SOURCE_BSP_GENERIC and RTEMS_FATAL_SOURCE_BSP_SPECIFIC
into new fatal source RTEMS_FATAL_SOURCE_BSP. This makes it easier to
figure out the code position given a fatal source and code.
Move _SMP_Request_other_cores_to_shutdown() invocation from
rtems_shutdown_executive() to _Internal_error_Occurred() to allow a
proper shutdown on SMP configurations even in the error case.
Disable interrupts as the first step in _Internal_error_Occurred() to
get a defined execution context for the fatal extensions.
Make _ISR_Disable_without_giant() available for non-SMP configurations.
Do not return to BSP context in the exit() shutdown path. This makes it
possible to re-use the initialization stack. It can be used for the
interrupt stack for example. On targets with a small RAM this is a
considerable benefit.
This change eliminates also some special cases and simplifies the code.
Delete _Thread_Set_global_exit_status(),
_Thread_Get_global_exit_status() and _Thread_Stop_multitasking().
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().
Instead of SPRG0 (= special purpose register 272) use the new global
symbol _PPC_INTERRUPT_DISABLE_MASK to store the interrupt disable mask.
The benefit is that it is now possible to disable interrupts without
further run-time initialization in boot_card().
At least on Freescale e500 cores this leads also to a faster execution
since the mfmsr and mfspr instruction require four cycles to complete.
The instructions to load the mask value can execute while the mfmsr is
in progress.
