Use a self-contained recursive mutex for API_Mutex_Control. The API
mutexes are protected against asynchronous thread cancellation.
Add dedicated mutexes for libatomic and TOD.
Close#2629.
Close#2630.
The previous rtems_panic() implementation was quite heavy weight. It
depended on _exit() which calls the global destructors. It used
fprintf(stderr, ...) for output which depends on an initialized console
device and the complex fprintf().
Introduce a new fatal source RTEMS_FATAL_SOURCE_PANIC for rtems_panic()
and output via vprintk().
Update #3244.
Provide functions to get the version string, major, minor and revision
numbers and the version control identifer that is a unique tag for
the version control system.
Update #3199.
For semaphore object pointer and object validation see
POSIX_SEMAPHORE_VALIDATE_OBJECT().
Destruction or close of a busy semaphore returns an error status. The
object is not flushed.
POSIX semaphores are now available in all configurations and no longer
depend on --enable-posix.
Update #2514.
Update #3116.
The EDF SMP scheduler supports simple thread processor affinities
(see #3059) with a small run-time overhead. The current default SMP
scheduler lacks support for thread processor affinities at all. The EDF
SMP scheduler offers a good feature set for most applications. So, use
it by default. Run-time libraries like libgomp, MTAPI, work stealing
schedulers, language interpreters (e.g. Erlang virtual machine),
maintainence of per-processor data (e.g. Universal Memory Allocator
(UMA)), etc. use a one-to-one thread processor affinity for example.
Update #3063.
Do not use the processor count to determine if SMP is enabled. Instead
use a dedicated configuration option. Enable SMP by default in SMP
configurations.
Add CONFIGURE_DISABLE_SMP_CONFIGURATION to all test which would fail
otherwise.
Update #3001.
Enable the SMP configuration by default in case SMP is enabled. Add
configuration option CONFIGURE_DISABLE_SMP_CONFIGURATION to disable it
explicitly.
Add CONFIGURE_DISABLE_SMP_CONFIGURATION to all test which would fail
otherwise.
Update #3001.
Add POSIX shared memory manager (Shm). Includes a hook-based
approach for the backing memory storage that defaults to the
Workspace, and a test is provided using the heap. A test is
also provided for the basic use of mmap'ing a shared memory
object. This test currently fails at the mmap stage due to
no support for mmap.
The fatal is internal indicator is redundant since the fatal source and
error code uniquely identify a fatal error. Keep the fatal user
extension is internal parameter for backward compatibility and set it to
false always.
Update #2825.
