Add low level event recording infrastructure for system and user defined events. The infrastructure is able to record high frequency events such as * SMP lock acquire/release, * interrupt entry/exit, * thread switches, * UMA zone allocate/free, and * Ethernet packet input/output, etc. It allows post-mortem analysis in fatal error handlers, e.g. the last events are in the record buffer, the newest event overwrites the oldest event. It is possible to detect record buffer overflows for consumers that expect a continuous stream of events, e.g. to display the system state in real-time. The implementation supports high-end SMP machines (more than 1GHz processor frequency, more than four processors). Add a new API instead. The implementation uses per-processor data structures and no atomic read-modify-write operations. It is uses per-processor ring buffers to record the events. The CPU counter is used to get the time of events. It is combined with periodic uptime events to synchronize it with CLOCK_REALTIME. The existing capture engine tries to solve this problem also, but its performance is not good enough for high-end production systems. The main issues are the variable-size buffers and the use of SMP locks for synchronization. To fix this, the API would change significantly. Update #3665.
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.
