In contrast to rtems_shell_main_loop(), this new function does not
perform all sorts of initialization based on environment settings. For
example, due to the use of isatty() in rtems_shell_main_loop() it is
impossible to run an interactive shell through a socket connection.
Add SMP-specifc SMP_FATAL_MULTITASKING_START_ON_NOT_ONLINE_PROCESSOR
fatal error. This fatal error helps to diagnose a broken SMP startup
sequence. Without this error a context switch using the NULL pointer
for the thread control block happens which may be difficult to debug.
Add support to record scheduler operations. This support is especially
important for tests in SMP configurations since the thread switch extension is
quite difficult to use due to the asynchronous nature of thread dispatching.
In contrast, the scheduler operations occur normally in a deterministic order.
Update #3716.
This function may be used to burn a couple of processor cycles with
minimum impact on the system bus. It may be used in busy wait loops.
Since it is a global function, it is possible to wrap it in device
driver test code.
Restrict the affinity set to the set of online processors. Make sure
the affinity set for an interrupt vector contains at least one online
processor.
Update #3269.
Do not initialize Thread_Control::libc_reent if
CONFIGURE_DISABLE_NEWLIB_REENTRANCY is defined. This helps to catch errors
with a NULL pointer exception rather than a corruption of the thread control
block.
At the moment the line discipline start function (l_start) has no
possibility to get feedback about the number of characters that have
been sent. This patch passes that information via an additional
parameter.
The change might trigger a warning on existing code because of a pointer
mismatch but it shouldn't break it. An existing function with the old
API will just ignore the additional parameter.
Update #4493
GCC versions prior to 6.1 used a RTEMS thread model based on
rtems_gxx_*() functions. GCC version 6.1 or later uses the
self-contained synchronization objects of Newlib <sys/lock.h> for the
RTEMS thread model.
Remove the obsolete implementation.
Close#3143.
This is done to get the target path for the overlay nodes which is very useful
in many cases. For example, Xen hypervisor needs it when applying overlays
because Xen needs to do further processing of the overlay nodes, e.g. mapping of
resources(IRQs and IOMMUs) to other VMs, creation of SMMU pagetables, etc.
