This was at the request of a user to make it easier to have a
custom entry point. This way they just provide their own top
level linkcmds and include linkcmds.base.
Updates #3520.
Rename PER_CPU_WATCHDOG_MONOTONIC to PER_CPU_WATCHDOG_TICKS. Add new
PER_CPU_WATCHDOG_MONOTONIC which is based on the system uptime (measured
by timecounter).
Close#3264.
There were two issues:
1. The buffer size must be divisible by 8 on 64-bit targets
2. It must be large enough to service the begin of start message.
Update #3082.
The previous cache manager support used a single souce file
(cache_manager.c) which included an implementation header (cache_.h).
This required the use of specialized include paths to find the right
header file. Change this to include a generic implementation header
(cacheimpl.h) in specialized source files.
Use the following directories and files:
* bsps/shared/cache
* bsps/@RTEMS_CPU@/shared/cache
* bsps/@RTEMS_CPU@/@RTEMS_BSP_FAMILY/start/cache.c
Update #3285.
At least with Binutils 2.30 and GCC 7.3 we need symbol definitions
without the leading underscore.
Fixed in Newlib 1658a57715de93d50983f34e75216101eb373993.
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.
