Please take a look at this new patch. It contains a cleaner implementation
of the reset operation. These patches are against 4.0.0. But the files
did not change from the 3.6.0 release. Also, the cpu.h patch below still
applies. I.e. instead of using i960ca_PRCB, use i960_PRCB.
Explanation:
The previous patch removed the use of the reset instruction,
because it always fails. But this was due to the fact that
some of the registers were corrupted by the re-init procedure.
The new patches save and restore those registers when a re-init
is done.
Here is another fix, which addresses a few more or less severe bugs in
configuration and unix/posix:
* Configuration fix: c/src/lib/configure.in didn't handle RDBG correctly
* Configuration fix: make depend was non-functional in
c/src/lib/libc/Makefile.in
* Configuration fix: stray comment removed from aclocal/target.m4
* RTEMS fix: termios support for unix/posix now uses the host's headers
only (was completely broken).
- Don't install RTEMS's newlib sys/termios.h for unix (sys/termios.h
apparently is a newlib specific header)
- To be able to compile RTEMS's termios.c with glibc2.1, glibc-2.1
needs __USE_MISC, which is a private define from gcc's features.h, being
defined only when _BSD_SOURCE of _SVID_SOURCE is defined. RTEMS's
termios apparently implements BSD, thus -D_BSD_SOURCE was added to
Linux-posix.cfg.
- Conflicting definitions for __USE_MISC and _BSD_SOURCE inside of
RTEMS codes removed due to definition of _BSD_SOURCE on the toplevel.
This fix has been tested with linux/posix (primary glibc2.1 native),
linux/posix (secondary libc5 native), sh/gensh1, i386/pc386 and a couple
of other bsp's/CPU.
To apply:
cd <srcdir>
patch -p1 < rtems-rc-19990709-9.diff
and
aclocal -I aclocal && automake && autoconf
cd c/src/lib; autoconf
or
./autogen
After upgrading my linux box to the brand new SuSE 6.2 release, which is
glibc-2.1 based, I came across a bug in RTEMS - IIRC, I even warned you
about it about 1/2 a year ago, but nothing has been done since then :-.
The *.m4 macros to check for SYSV/IPC are broken for linux/glibc2.1,
because they assume that linux always defines union semun, which isn't
true anymore for glibc2.1 (the manpage for semctl states _X_OPEN
specifies it this way). Therefore I have tried to implement a more
general approach for handling SYSV for unix/posix which checks for
presence of struct semun, instead of trying to evaluate OS specific
preprocessor symbols.
This approach is a bit adventureous, because I only tested it with
linux/glibc2.1 and linux/libc5, but not under other Unix variants RTEMS
supports. I am quite confident it will work on other hosts, too, but who
knows :-.
[FYI: I think this might also is the cause of some problems with RedHat
6.X / Mandrake linux recently reported on the rtems list -- rtems-4.0.0
can not be build for posix on any glibc2.1 based host]
Furthermore the patch below contains a couple of minor fixes and
configuration cleanups, which IMO should be applied before releasing a
new snapshot.

I'm attaching a big patch for the ts_386ex BSP which adds and includes
the following:
1) Conversion to ELF format + minor code cleanups + documentation.
2) An Ada95 binding to FreeBSD sockets, based on Samuel Tardieu's
adasockets-0.1.3 package. This includes some sample applications.
3) Some Ada and C interfaces to add serial-port debugging to
programs. Comes with examples, too; the Ada one shows how
transparent adding the support can be. Note that Rosimildo sent me
the original C code.
The network stuff is not BSP specific, and could be added to your Ada
code collection. The debugging stuff is specific to the i386. Right
now, everything sits in my "tools" directory.

<raguet@crf.canon.fr>:
- the dec21140 driver code has been hardened (various bug fixed) Emmanuel,
- bug in the mcp750 init code have been fixed (interrupt stack/initial
stack initialization), BSS correctly cleared (Eric V)
- remote debugging over TCP/IP is nearly complete (berakpoints,
backtrace, variables,...) (Eric V),
- exception handling code has also been improved in order to fully
support RDBG requirements (Eric V),
I just released erc32ccs-2.0.6 which includes some fixes and the
Ada-self optimisation. Remote debugging of Ada programs did not
work due to a conflict between monior and rtems trap handlers.
I have attached a modified gnatsupp.c that makes remote debugging
possible again.

it is used like this in i386ex/start/start.S
/* set up same values in cache */
start.S: movw $0xFFFB, SYM(i8259s_cache)
I am heading out the door. Any other ideas what could have tripped this?
This instruction appears in a .code16 section. In a .code16 section,
current versions of gas assume that all addresses are 16 bits unless
told otherwise.
If you change the line to
addr32 movw $0xFFFB, SYM(i8259s_cache)
then you will get a 32 bit address reference.
You may want to use addr32 only when NEW_GAS is defined.
The patch below fixes a nasty bug in acpolish, which has broken many
Makefile.ins below c/src/tests/
APPLYING THE PATCH:
patch -p1 < rtems-rc-19990709-5.diff
The essential part of this patch is the diff-fragment for acpolish
contained in this patch. Ie. if any of the other diffs do not apply,
make sure that the acpolish diff was applied correctly and then run
cd <srcdir>
tools/update/rtems-polish.sh -ac
The main topic is replacing the hard-coded values for HAS_MP and
HAS_RDBG in custom/*.cfg with per-bsp configuration-time autoconf checks
(This is the patch I had mentioned before earlier this week).
CHANGES
* HAS_MP removed from custom/*.cfg, replaced with configuration time
autoconf check
* HAS_RDBG removed from custom/*.cfg, replaced with configuration-time
autoconf check
* NEW: c/src/make/bsp.cfg.in, takes configuration-time checked per-bsp
values (i.e. HAS_MP, HAS_RDBG), gets installed as
$(prefix)/<bsp>/make/bsp.cfg
* NEW: default.cfg includes bsp.cfg - this change is backward
compatible.
* IMPORT_SRC: apply VPATH instead for ts_386ex/i386ex subdirectory
Makefile.ins
* HACK: a bug in acpolish mis-handles addtions to makefile variables
which are enclosed in gmake conditionals:
c/src/lib/libbsp/m68k/ods68302/start302/Makefile.in
* Apply inline_dir, HAS_MP and HAS_RDBG for avoiding configuration of
unneeded subdirectories in various configure.in files.
* Several minor changes in Makefile.ins and configure.ins, wrt. to the
order of including *.cfg and defining Makefile variables
APPLYING THE PATCH:
patch -p1 < rtems-rc-19990709-4.diff
./autogen
Problem: a posix thread which is created by
pthread_attr_init(&tattr);
pthread_attr_setinheritsched(&tattr, PTHREAD_EXPLICIT_SCHED);
pthread_attr_setschedpolicy(&tattr, SCHED_RR);
pthread_create(&th, &tattr, func, arg);
has a first timeslice of 2^32 ticks (changing a running thread to
SCHED_RR id ok).
I use RTEMS-4.0.0. I am not sure if the problem exists in the current CVS
head revision. If it's not fixed, the patch at the end should do it.
