The BSPs provide memory for the separate C Program Heap initialization
via _Memory_Get(). Most BSPs provide exactly one memory area. Only two
BSPs provide more than one memory area (arm/altera-cyclone-v and
bsps/powerpc/mpc55xxevb). Only if more than one memory area is
provided, there is a need to use _Heap_Extend(). Provide two
implementations to initialize the separate C Program Heap and let the
BSP select one of the implementations based on the number of provided
memory areas. This gets rid of a dependency on _Heap_Extend(). It
also avoids dead code sections for most BSPs.

The BSPs provide memory for the workspace initialization via
_Memory_Get(). Most BSPs provide exactly one memory area. Only two
BSPs provide more than one memory area (arm/altera-cyclone-v and
bsps/powerpc/mpc55xxevb). Only if more than one memory area is
provided, there is a need to use _Heap_Extend(). Provide two
implementations to initialize the workspace handler and let the BSP
select one of the implementations based on the number of provided memory
areas. This gets rid of a dependency on _Heap_Extend(). It also avoids
dead code sections for most BSPs.
This adds the SMP function that supports spinup of additional CPU cores
using the ARM standard PSCI inteface. This interface is provided by QEMU
as well as ARM Trusted Firmware running in monitor mode (EL3) on ARMv7 and
AArch64 CPUs. This supports activation va SMC or HVC instructions
depending on BSP configuration.
The work area initialization was done by the BSP through
bsp_work_area_initialize(). This approach predated the system
initialization through the system initialization linker set. The
workspace and C program heap were unconditionally initialized. The aim
is to support RTEMS application configurations which do not need the
workspace and C program heap. In these configurations, the workspace
and C prgram heap should not get initialized.
Change all bsp_work_area_initialize() to implement _Memory_Get()
instead. Move the dirty memory, sbrk(), per-CPU data, workspace, and
malloc() heap initialization into separate system initialization steps.
This makes it also easier to test the individual initialization steps.
This change adds a dependency to _Heap_Extend() to all BSPs. This
dependency will be removed in a follow up change.
Update #3838.
- Use CamelCase as it is not used in our C code. Enables simple search and
replace.
- Prefix with "RTEMS" to aid deployment and integration. It aids
searching and sorting.
Update #3706.
