The changes in _Thread_Dispatch() of commitsdad36c52b8andd4dc7c8196introduced a severe bug which destroys the real-time properties of RTEMS completely. Consider the following scenario. We have three tasks L (lowest priority), M (middle priority), and H (highest priority). Now let a thread dispatch from M to L happen. An interrupt occurs in _Thread_Dispatch() here: void _Thread_Dispatch( void ) { [...] post_switch: _ISR_Enable( level ); <-- INTERRUPT <-- AFTER INTERRUPT _Thread_Unnest_dispatch(); _API_extensions_Run_postswitch(); } The interrupt event makes task H ready. The interrupt code will see _Thread_Dispatch_disable_level > 0 and thus doesn't perform a _Thread_Dispatch(). Now we return to position "AFTER INTERRUPT". This means task L executes now although task H is ready! Task H will execute once someone calls _Thread_Dispatch().
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.
