Process only the jobs initially registered on the processing list. This
makes it possible to add jobs for the current processor in a job
handler. These jobs are processed with the next
SMP_MESSAGE_PERFORM_JOBS message. The lock is only acquired and
released once.
Move resposibility to disable thread dispatching to the caller of
_SMP_Multicast_action(). Using an interrupt disable for this purpose is
questionable.
If the caller already disabled interrupts, then do not disable thread
dispatching. Calling _SMP_Multicast_action() with interrupts disabled
is a questionable use case.
Add rtems_scheduler_get_processor_maximum() as a replacement for
rtems_get_processor_count(). The rtems_get_processor_count() is a bit
orphaned. Adopt it by the Scheduler Manager. The count is also
misleading, since the processor set may have gaps and the actual count
of online processors may be less than the value returned by
rtems_get_processor_count().
Update #3732.
Add rtems_scheduler_get_processor() as a replacement for
rtems_get_current_processor(). The rtems_get_current_processor() is a
bit orphaned. Adopt it by the Scheduler Manager. This is in line with
the glibc sched_getcpu() function.
Deprecate rtems_get_current_processor().
Update #3731.
Allocate the per-CPU data for secondary processors directly from the
heap areas before heap initialization and not via
_Workspace_Allocate_aligned(). This avoids dependency on the workspace
allocator. It fixes also a problem on some platforms (e.g. QorIQ) where
at this early point in the system initialization the top of the RAM is
used by low-level startup code on secondary processors (boot pages).
Update #3507.
The following rtems_cache_*_processor_set() cache manager API functions
are exotic, complex, very hard to use correctly, not used in the RTEMS
code base, and apparently unused by applications.
Close#3622.
Add support to temporarily pin a thread to its current processor. This
may be used to access per-processor data structures in critical sections
with enabled thread dispatching, e.g. a pinned thread is allowed to
block.
Update #3508.
This option silences warning with automake-1.16.1 allowing us to
upgrade to that version.
This change has been tested with automake-1.12.6 and automake-1.16.1.
It seems version 1.16.1 configures slower than 1.12.6 for the same
source and BSP. The newer versions is 6 second slower.
Close#3387.
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.
