Use a per-CPU thread dispatch disable level. So instead of one global thread dispatch disable level we have now one instance per processor. This is a major performance improvement for SMP. On non-SMP configurations this may simplifiy the interrupt entry/exit code. The giant lock is still present, but it is now decoupled from the thread dispatching in _Thread_Dispatch(), _Thread_Handler(), _Thread_Restart_self() and the interrupt entry/exit. Access to the giant lock is now available via _Giant_Acquire() and _Giant_Release(). The giant lock is still implicitly acquired via _Thread_Dispatch_decrement_disable_level(). The giant lock is only acquired for high-level operations in interrupt handlers (e.g. release of a semaphore, sending of an event). As a side-effect this change fixes the lost thread dispatch necessary indication bug in _Thread_Dispatch(). A per-CPU thread dispatch disable level greatly simplifies the SMP support for the interrupt entry/exit code since no spin locks have to be acquired in this area. It is only necessary to get the current processor index and use this to calculate the address of the own per-CPU control. This reduces the interrupt latency considerably. All elements for the interrupt entry/exit code are now part of the Per_CPU_Control structure: thread dispatch disable level, ISR nest level and thread dispatch necessary. Nothing else is required (except CPU port specific stuff like on SPARC).
This is the directory under which the RTEMS
test programs provided with the release are located. The
following is a description of the contents of each file and
subdirectory directly in this directory:
NOTE: Other than the 'samples' directory these tests are intended
only to exercise RTEMS features and are *not* good examples
of programming for RTEMS.
samples
This directory contains a set of simple sample applications
which can be used either to test a board support package
or as the starting point for a custom application.
mptests
This directory contains the RTEMS Multiprocessor Test Suite.
The tests in this directory provide near complete (98%+) test
coverage of the multiprocessor specific code in RTEMS.
psxtests
This directory contains the RTEMS POSIX API Test Suite.
The tests in this directory test the POSIX API support in RTEMS.
sptests
This directory contains the RTEMS Single Processor Test Suite.
The tests in this directory provide near complete (98%+) test
coverage of the non-multiprocessor code in RTEMS.
tmtests
This directory contains the RTEMS Timing Test Suite.
The tests in this directory are used to measure the execution
time of RTEMS directive and some critical internal functions.
The results of these test are reported in the Fact Sheets
and Supplental Manuals.
