to multiple. This lets the stack check extension be installed
at system initialization time and avoids the BSP having to
even know about its existence.
the thread handler (IDLE), MPCI object (SYSI now MP Receive)
and initialize_executive_early (IO initialization). The SYSI task
no longer exists in a single processor configuration. This reduces
single processor Workspace requirements by a TCB and a stack which
is often larger than the minimum stack size. Moving the IO initialization
plus accompanying BSP hooks eliminated an initialization ordering problem
in which a global task could be created before the MPCI was initialized.
initialize_executive_early. This was done to clear up an ordering problem
in which global tasks could be created before the MPCI layer was initialized.
Configuration Table Template file added and all tests
modified to use this. All gvar.h and conftbl.h files
removed from test directories.
Configuration parameter maximum_devices added.
Core semaphore and mutex handlers added and RTEMS API Semaphore
Manager updated to reflect this.
Initialization sequence changed to invoke API specific initialization
routines. Initialization tasks table now owned by RTEMS Tasks Manager.
Added user extension for post-switch.
Utilized user extensions to implement API specific functionality
like signal dispatching.
Added extensions to the System Initialization Thread so that an
API can register a function to be invoked while the system
is being initialized. These are largely equivalent to the
pre-driver and post-driver hooks.
Added the Modules file oar-go32_p5, modified oar-go32, and modified
the file make/custom/go32.cfg to look at an environment varable which
determines what CPU model is being used.
All BSPs updated to reflect named devices and clock driver's IOCTL
used by the Shared Memory Driver. Also merged clock isr into
main file and removed ckisr.c where possible.
Updated spsize to reflect new and moved variables.
Makefiles for the executive source and include files updated to show
break down of files into Core, RTEMS API, and Neither.
Header and inline files installed into subdirectory based on whether
logically in the Core or a part of the RTEMS API.
Added a table of object information control blocks.
Modified _Thread_Get so it looks up a thread regardless of which
thread management "entity" (manager, internal, etc) actually "owns" it.
+ Added name pointer to Object_Control.
+ Modified Object Open and Close to address name field.
+ Removed name as separate element from Thread and Proxy Control.
+ Added parameter "object class" to calls to Initialize Information
(tbennett@divnc.com) including the following major additions:
+ variable length messages
+ named devices
+ debug monitor
+ association tables/variables
