All CPU ports used the same _CPU_Counter_difference() implementation. Remove
this CPU port interface and mandate a monotonically increasing CPU counter.
Close#3456.
At some point during system initialization, the idle threads are created.
Afterwards, the boot processor basically executes within the context of an idle
thread with thread dispatching disabled. On some architectures, the
thread-local storage area of the associated thread must be set in dedicated
processor registers. Add the new CPU port function to do this:
void _CPU_Use_thread_local_storage( const Context_Control *context )
Close#4672.
Move _CPU_Fatal_halt() declaration to <rtems/score/cpuimpl.h> and make sure it
is a proper declaration of a function which does not return. Fix the type of
the error code. If necessary, add the implementation to cpu.c. Implementing
_CPU_Fatal_halt() as a function makes it possible to wrap this function for
example to fully test _Terminate().
Provide RTEMS_NO_RETURN also in case RTEMS_DEBUG is defined to prevent errors
like this:
error: no return statement in function returning non-void [-Werror=return-type]
Use C11 and C++11 standard means to declare a no-return function.
Close#4122.
This introduces the CPU_USE_LIBC_INIT_FINI_ARRAY define for use by CPU
ports to determine which global constructor and destructor methods are
used instead of placing architecture defines where they shouldn't be.
Close#4018
Use the CPU_SIZEOF_POINTER alignment instead. The internal alignment
requirement is defined by the use of Chain_Node (consisting of two
pointers) to manage the free chain of partitions.
It seems that previously the condition
CPU_PARTITION_ALIGNMENT >= sizeof(Chain_Node)
was true on all CPU ports. Now, we need an additional check.
Update #3482.
On some architectures/simulators it is difficult to provoke an
exception with misaligned or illegal data loads. Use an illegal
instruction instead.
Update #3433.
The context validation support functions _CPU_Context_validate() and
_CPU_Context_volatile_clobber() are used only by one test program
(spcontext01). Move the function declarations to the CPU port
implementation header file.
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.
Add rtems_counter_frequency() API function. Use it to initialize the
counter value converter via the new system initialization step
(RTEMS_SYSINIT_CPU_COUNTER). This decouples the counter implementation
and the counter converter. It avoids an unnecessary pull in of the
64-bit integer division from libgcc.
Update #3456.
The following code
void f(void)
{
register int i;
}
gives a warning with GCC and -std=c++17
test.cc: In function ‘void f()’:
test.cc:3:15: warning: ISO C++1z does not allow ‘register’ storage class
specifier [-Wregister]
register int i;

and clang with -std=c++14
test.cc:3:3: warning: 'register' storage class specifier is deprecated
and incompatible with C++1z [-Wdeprecated-register]
register int i;
^~~~~~~~~
1 warning generated.
Remove the use of the register keyword at least in the public header
files for C++ compatibility.
Close#3397.
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.
