- 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.
The APIC timer is calibrated by running the i8254 PIT for a fraction of a
second (determined by PIT_CALIBRATE_DIVIDER) and counting how many times the
APIC counter has ticked. The calibration can be run multiple times (determined
by APIC_TIMER_NUM_CALIBRATIONS) and averaged out.
Updates #2898.
Current state:
- Basic context initialization and switching code.
- Stubbed console (empty functions).
- Mostly functional linker script (may need tweaks if we ever want to move
away from the large code model (see: CPU_CFLAGS).
- Fully functional boot, by using FreeBSD's bootloader to load RTEMS's ELF for
UEFI-awareness.
In short, the current state with this commit lets us boot, go through the system
initialization functions, and then call user application's Init task too.
Updates #2898.
