* Jump table for single entry point removed.
* include/rtems/directives.h, src/entrytable.c: Removed.
* include/Makefile.am, src/Makefile.am, src/exinit.c: Modified to
reflect above.
* Mega patch merge to change the format of the object IDs to
loosen the dependency between the SCORE and the various APIs.
There was considerable work to simplify the object name management
and it appears that the name_table field is no longer needed.
This patch also includes the addition of the internal mutex
which is currently only used to protect some types of allocation
and deallocation. This significantly can reduce context
switch latency under certain circumstances. In particular,
some heap/region operations were O(n) and had dispatching
disabled. This should help enormously. With this merge,
the patch is not as clean as it should be. In particular,
the documentation has not been modified to reflect the new object
ID layout, the IDs in the test screens are not updated, and
_Objects_Get_information needs to be a real routine not inlined.
As part of this patch a lot of MP code for thread/proxy blocking
was made conditional and cleaned up.
* include/confdefs.h, src/exinit.c, src/extension.c, src/itronapi.c,
src/posixapi.c, src/rtemsapi.c: Modified as part of above.
* src/exinit.c: Slightly rework initialization so there
is a valid thread as _Thread_Executing when the pre_tasking
hook is called. This allows one directives and malloc
to potentially use mutex protection.
* include/confdefs.h, include/rtems/config.h, include/rtems/io.h,
optman/no-io.c, src/exinit.c, src/io.c: Added a device driver
register/unregister interface to allow device drivers to be
installed and removed at runtime. This means you do not need devices
present in the device table when you build.
that contains:
* Removes remaining (now illegal) references to $(SRC) from a couple of
Makefile.ams
* Removes duplicate AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS macro from c/configure.in
* Moves ENABLE_LIBCDIR into RTEMS_PROG_C[C|XX]_FOR_TARGET (hides LIBCDIR
from most configure scripts, i.e. LIBCDIR becomes less visible)
* Adds RTEMS_PROG_C[C|XX]_FOR_TARGET and RTEMS_CANONICALIZE_TOOLS to
libbsp/*/configure.ins (A minor bug in previous implementations, which
only has an impact when switching to GNU/Cygnus canonicalization)
* Cleans up several bogus comments.
* Removes MKLIB
* Switches the version number to 4.5.0 (for testing version number
handling)
overhaul of the RTEMS system call interface. This base file system is
the "In-Memory File System" aka IMFS.
The design and implementation was done by the following people:

+ Kerwin Wade (wade@OARcorp.com)
PROBLEMS
========
+ It is VERY likely that merging this will break the UNIX port. This
can/will be fixed.
+ There is likely some reentrancy/mutual exclusion needed.
+ Eventually, there should be a "mini-IMFS" description table to
eliminate links, symlinks, etc to save memory. All you need to
have "classic RTEMS" functionality is technically directories
and device IO. All the rest could be left out to save memory.
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.
