Add rtems_interrupt_local_disable|enable() as suggested by Pavel Pisa to
emphasize that interrupts are only disabled on the current processor.
Do not define the rtems_interrupt_disable|enable|flash() macros and
functions on SMP configurations since they don't ensure system wide
mutual exclusion.
Aggregate several critical sections into a bigger one. Sending and
receiving messages is now protected by an ISR lock. Thread dispatching
is only disabled in case a blocking operation is necessary. The message
copy procedure is done inside the critical section (interrupts
disabled). Thus this change may have a negative impact on the interrupt
latency in case very large messages are transferred.
Update #2273.
* fix and remove some macros in rtems.texi.in.
* refer to devel mailing list.
* remove reference to Debian packaging in requirements section.
* remove section on prebuilt tools.
* replace toolset build instructions with link to RSB docs.
* Add a note in building RTEMS section about using RSB.
* Fix URLs
Closes#2291.
Deprecate Classic API Notepads. Mark task_set/get_note() with
the deprecated attribute, and also mark the notepads field.
Replace disable with enable option for notepads in confdefs.h,
and make notepads disabled by default. The previous option
CONFIGURE_DISABLE_CLASSIC_API_NOTEPADS is now unused and
will emit a compile-time warning. A new option
CONFIGURE_ENABLE_CLASSIC_API_NOTEPADS is available to turn
on notepads, but it also will emit a compile-time warning
to indicate that notepads are deprecated.
Closes#2265
pthread_mutex_trylock() should return EBUSY if the mutex is already
locked. The translations of CORE_MUTEX_STATUS_NESTING_NOT_ALLOWED is
EDEADLK which is correct for pthread_mutex_lock(). This fixes the
translation for trylock.
Closes#2170.
Remove miniIMFS. Statically initialize the root IMFS.
Add configuration options to disable individual
features of the root IMFS, e.g.
o CONFIGURE_IMFS_DISABLE_CHOWN,
o CONFIGURE_IMFS_DISABLE_FCHMOD,
o CONFIGURE_IMFS_DISABLE_LINK,
o CONFIGURE_IMFS_DISABLE_MKNOD,
o CONFIGURE_IMFS_DISABLE_MOUNT,
o CONFIGURE_IMFS_DISABLE_READLINK,
o CONFIGURE_IMFS_DISABLE_RENAME,
o CONFIGURE_IMFS_DISABLE_RMNOD,
o CONFIGURE_IMFS_DISABLE_SYMLINK,
o CONFIGURE_IMFS_DISABLE_UNMOUNT, and
o CONFIGURE_IMFS_DISABLE_UTIME.
* Coding style cleanups.
* Use OS reserved trap 0x89 for IRQ Disable
* Use OS reserved trap 0x8A for IRQ Enable
* Add to SPARC CPU supplement documentation
This will result in faster Disable/Enable code since the
system trap handler does not need to decode which function
the user wants. Besides the IRQ disable/enabled can now
be inline which avoids the caller to take into account that
o0-o7+g1-g4 registers are destroyed by trap handler.
It was also possible to reduce the interrupt trap handler by
five instructions due to this.
