Statically initialize the interrupt stack area
(_Configuration_Interrupt_stack_area_begin,
_Configuration_Interrupt_stack_area_end, and
_Configuration_Interrupt_stack_size) via <rtems/confdefs.h>. Place the
interrupt stack area in a special section ".rtemsstack.interrupt". Let
BSPs define the optimal placement of this section in their linker
command files (e.g. in a fast on-chip memory).
This change makes makes the CPU_HAS_SOFTWARE_INTERRUPT_STACK and
CPU_HAS_HARDWARE_INTERRUPT_STACK CPU port defines superfluous, since the
low level initialization code has all information available via global
symbols.
This change makes the CPU_ALLOCATE_INTERRUPT_STACK CPU port define
superfluous, since the interrupt stacks are allocated by confdefs.h for
all architectures. There is no need for BSP-specific linker command
file magic (except the section placement), see previous ARM linker
command file as a bad example.
Remove _CPU_Install_interrupt_stack(). Initialize the hardware
interrupt stack in _CPU_Initialize() if necessary (e.g.
m68k_install_interrupt_stack()).
The optional _CPU_Interrupt_stack_setup() is still useful to customize
the registration of the interrupt stack area in the per-CPU information.
The initialization stack can reuse the interrupt stack, since
* interrupts are disabled during the sequential system initialization,
and
* the boot_card() function does not return.
This stack resuse saves memory.
Changes per architecture:
arm:
* Mostly replace the linker symbol based configuration of stacks with
the standard <rtems/confdefs.h> configuration via
CONFIGURE_INTERRUPT_STACK_SIZE. The size of the FIQ, ABT and UND
mode stack is still defined via linker symbols. These modes are
rarely used in applications and the default values provided by the
BSP should be sufficient in most cases.
* Remove the bsp_processor_count linker symbol hack used for the SMP
support. This is possible since the interrupt stack area is now
allocated by the linker and not allocated from the heap. This makes
some configure.ac stuff obsolete. Remove the now superfluous BSP
variants altcycv_devkit_smp and realview_pbx_a9_qemu_smp.
bfin:
* Remove unused magic linker command file allocation of initialization
stack. Maybe a previous linker command file copy and paste problem?
In the start.S the initialization stack is set to a hard coded value.
lm32, m32c, mips, nios2, riscv, sh, v850:
* Remove magic linker command file allocation of initialization stack.
Reuse interrupt stack for initialization stack.
m68k:
* Remove magic linker command file allocation of initialization stack.
Reuse interrupt stack for initialization stack.
powerpc:
* Remove magic linker command file allocation of initialization stack.
Reuse interrupt stack for initialization stack.
* Used dedicated memory region (REGION_RTEMSSTACK) for the interrupt
stack on BSPs using the shared linkcmds.base (replacement for
REGION_RWEXTRA).
sparc:
* Remove the hard coded initialization stack. Use the interrupt stack
for the initialization stack on the boot processor. This saves
16KiB of RAM.
Update #3459.
Introduction
============
This directory contains a stack bounds checker. It provides two
primary features:
+ check for stack overflow at each context switch
+ provides an educated guess at each task's stack usage
Enabling
========
Add the stack checker extension to the initial user extension set.
If using confdefs.h to build your configuration table, this is
as simple as adding -DSTACK_CHECK_ON to the gcc command line which
compiles the file defining the configuration table. In the RTEMS
test suites and samples, this is always init.c
Background
==========
The stack overflow check at context switch works by looking for
a 16 byte pattern at the logical end of the stack to be corrupted.
The "guesser" assumes that the entire stack was prefilled with a known
pattern and assumes that the pattern is still in place if the memory
has not been used as a stack.
Both of these can be fooled by pushing large holes onto the stack
and not writing to them... or (much more unlikely) writing the
magic patterns into memory.
This code has not been extensively tested. It is provided as a tool
for RTEMS users to catch the most common mistake in multitasking
systems ... too little stack space. Suggestions and comments are appreciated.
NOTES:
1. Stack usage information is questionable on CPUs which push
large holes on stack.
2. The stack checker has a tendency to generate a fault when
trying to print the helpful diagnostic message. If it comes
out, congratulations. If not, then the variable Stack_check_Blown_task
contains a pointer to the TCB of the offending task. This
is usually enough to go on.
FUTURE:
1. Determine how/if gcc will generate stack probe calls and support that.
