- Remove the printf support leaving the direct printk support configured
with TESTS_USE_PRINTK and all other output goes via a buffered vsniprintf
call to printk.
- Control the test's single init for functions and global data with
TEST_INIT and not CONFIGURE_INIT. They are now separate.
Updates #3170.
This change adds rtems_printf and related functions and wraps the
RTEMS print plugin support into a user API. All references to the
plugin are removed and replaced with the rtems_printer interface.
Printk and related functions are made to return a valid number of
characters formatted and output.
The function attribute to check printf functions has been added
to rtems_printf and printk. No changes to remove warrnings are part
of this patch set.
The testsuite has been moved over to the rtems_printer. The testsuite
has a mix of rtems_printer access and direct print control via the
tmacros.h header file. The support for begink/endk has been removed
as it served no purpose and only confused the code base. The testsuite
has not been refactored to use rtems_printf. This is future work.
Clustered/partitioned scheduling helps to control the worst-case
latencies in the system. The goal is to reduce the amount of shared
state in the system and thus prevention of lock contention. Modern
multi-processor systems tend to have several layers of data and
instruction caches. With clustered/partitioned scheduling it is
possible to honour the cache topology of a system and thus avoid
expensive cache synchronization traffic.
We have clustered scheduling in case the set of processors of a system
is partitioned into non-empty pairwise-disjoint subsets. These subsets
are called clusters. Clusters with a cardinality of one are partitions.
Each cluster is owned by exactly one scheduler instance.
