+
+Signal Manager Definitions
+--------------------------
+
+The signal manager allows a task to optionally define an asynchronous signal
+routine (ASR). An ASR is to a task what an ISR is to an application's set of
+tasks. When the processor is interrupted, the execution of an application is
+also interrupted and an ISR is given control. Similarly, when a signal is sent
+to a task, that task's execution path will be "interrupted" by the ASR.
+Sending a signal to a task has no effect on the receiving task's current
+execution state.
+
+.. index:: rtems_signal_set
+
+A signal flag is used by a task (or ISR) to inform another task of the
+occurrence of a significant situation. Thirty-two signal flags are associated
+with each task. A collection of one or more signals is referred to as a signal
+set. The data type ``rtems_signal_set`` is used to manipulate signal sets.
+
+A signal set is posted when it is directed (or sent) to a task. A pending
+signal is a signal that has been sent to a task with a valid ASR, but has not
+been processed by that task's ASR.
+
+.. index:: ASR vs. ISR
+.. index:: ISR vs. ASR
+
+A Comparison of ASRs and ISRs
+-----------------------------
+
+The format of an ASR is similar to that of an ISR with the following
+exceptions:
+
+- ISRs are scheduled by the processor hardware. ASRs are scheduled by RTEMS.
+
+- ISRs do not execute in the context of a task and may invoke only a subset of
+ directives. ASRs execute in the context of a task and may execute any
+ directive.
+
+- When an ISR is invoked, it is passed the vector number as its argument. When
+ an ASR is invoked, it is passed the signal set as its argument.
+
+- An ASR has a task mode which can be different from that of the task. An ISR
+ does not execute as a task and, as a result, does not have a task mode.
+
+.. index:: signal set, building
+
+Building a Signal Set
+---------------------
+
+A signal set is built by a bitwise OR of the desired signals. The set of valid
+signals is ``RTEMS_SIGNAL_0`` through ``RTEMS_SIGNAL_31``. If a signal is not
+explicitly specified in the signal set, then it is not present. Signal values
+are specifically designed to be mutually exclusive, therefore bitwise OR and
+addition operations are equivalent as long as each signal appears exactly once
+in the component list.
+
+This example demonstrates the signal parameter used when sending the signal set
+consisting of ``RTEMS_SIGNAL_6``, ``RTEMS_SIGNAL_15``, and ``RTEMS_SIGNAL_31``.
+The signal parameter provided to the ``rtems_signal_send`` directive should be
+``RTEMS_SIGNAL_6 | RTEMS_SIGNAL_15 | RTEMS_SIGNAL_31``.
+
+.. index:: ASR mode, building
+
+Building an ASR Mode
+--------------------
+
+In general, an ASR's mode is built by a bitwise OR of the desired mode
+components. The set of valid mode components is the same as those allowed with
+the task_create and task_mode directives. A complete list of mode options is
+provided in the following table:
+
+.. list-table::
+ :class: rtems-table
+
+ * - ``RTEMS_PREEMPT``
+ - is masked by ``RTEMS_PREEMPT_MASK`` and enables preemption
+ * - ``RTEMS_NO_PREEMPT``
+ - is masked by ``RTEMS_PREEMPT_MASK`` and disables preemption
+ * - ``RTEMS_NO_TIMESLICE``
+ - is masked by ``RTEMS_TIMESLICE_MASK`` and disables timeslicing
+ * - ``RTEMS_TIMESLICE``
+ - is masked by ``RTEMS_TIMESLICE_MASK`` and enables timeslicing
+ * - ``RTEMS_ASR``
+ - is masked by ``RTEMS_ASR_MASK`` and enables ASR processing
+ * - ``RTEMS_NO_ASR``
+ - is masked by ``RTEMS_ASR_MASK`` and disables ASR processing
+ * - ``RTEMS_INTERRUPT_LEVEL(0)``
+ - is masked by ``RTEMS_INTERRUPT_MASK`` and enables all interrupts
+ * - ``RTEMS_INTERRUPT_LEVEL(n)``
+ - is masked by ``RTEMS_INTERRUPT_MASK`` and sets interrupts level n
+
+Mode values are specifically designed to be mutually exclusive, therefore
+bitwise OR and addition operations are equivalent as long as each mode appears
+exactly once in the component list. A mode component listed as a default is
+not required to appear in the mode list, although it is a good programming
+practice to specify default components. If all defaults are desired, the mode
+``DEFAULT_MODES`` should be specified on this call.
+
+This example demonstrates the mode parameter used with the
+``rtems_signal_catch`` to establish an ASR which executes at interrupt level
+three and is non-preemptible. The mode should be set to
+``RTEMS_INTERRUPT_LEVEL(3) | RTEMS_NO_PREEMPT`` to indicate the desired
+processor mode and interrupt level.

+DESCRIPTION:
+ This directive sends a signal set to the task specified in id. The

+
+ If a caller sends a signal set to a task with an invalid ASR, then an error
+ code is returned to the caller. If a caller sends a signal set to a task
+ whose ASR is valid but disabled, then the signal set will be caught and
+ left pending for the ASR to process when it is enabled. If a caller sends a
+ signal set to a task with an ASR that is both valid and enabled, then the
+ signal set is caught and the ASR will execute the next time the task is
+ dispatched to run.
+
+NOTES:
+ Sending a signal set to a task has no effect on that task's state. If a
+ signal set is sent to a blocked task, then the task will remain blocked and
+ the signals will be processed when the task becomes the running task.
+
+ Sending a signal set to a global task which does not reside on the local
+ node will generate a request telling the remote node to send the signal set
+ to the specified task.

+Operations
+==========
+
+Establishing an ASR
+-------------------
+
+The ``rtems_signal_catch`` directive establishes an ASR for the calling task.
+The address of the ASR and its execution mode are specified to this directive.
+The ASR's mode is distinct from the task's mode. For example, the task may
+allow preemption, while that task's ASR may have preemption disabled. Until a
+task calls ``rtems_signal_catch`` the first time, its ASR is invalid, and no
+signal sets can be sent to the task.
+
+A task may invalidate its ASR and discard all pending signals by calling
+``rtems_signal_catch`` with a value of NULL for the ASR's address. When a
+task's ASR is invalid, new signal sets sent to this task are discarded.
+
+A task may disable ASR processing (``RTEMS_NO_ASR``) via the task_mode
+directive. When a task's ASR is disabled, the signals sent to it are left
+pending to be processed later when the ASR is enabled.
+
+Any directive that can be called from a task can also be called from an ASR. A
+task is only allowed one active ASR. Thus, each call to ``rtems_signal_catch``
+replaces the previous one.
+
+Normally, signal processing is disabled for the ASR's execution mode, but if
+signal processing is enabled for the ASR, the ASR must be reentrant.
+
+Sending a Signal Set
+--------------------
+
+The ``rtems_signal_send`` directive allows both tasks and ISRs to send signals
+to a target task. The target task and a set of signals are specified to the
+``rtems_signal_send`` directive. The sending of a signal to a task has no
+effect on the execution state of that task. If the task is not the currently
+running task, then the signals are left pending and processed by the task's ASR
+the next time the task is dispatched to run. The ASR is executed immediately
+before the task is dispatched. If the currently running task sends a signal to
+itself or is sent a signal from an ISR, its ASR is immediately dispatched to
+run provided signal processing is enabled.
+
+If an ASR with signals enabled is preempted by another task or an ISR and a new
+signal set is sent, then a new copy of the ASR will be invoked, nesting the
+preempted ASR. Upon completion of processing the new signal set, control will
+return to the preempted ASR. In this situation, the ASR must be reentrant.
+
+Like events, identical signals sent to a task are not queued. In other words,
+sending the same signal multiple times to a task (without any intermediate
+signal processing occurring for the task), has the same result as sending that
+signal to that task once.
+
+.. index:: rtems_asr
+
+Processing an ASR
+-----------------
+
+Asynchronous signals were designed to provide the capability to generate
+software interrupts. The processing of software interrupts parallels that of
+hardware interrupts. As a result, the differences between the formats of ASRs
+and ISRs is limited to the meaning of the single argument passed to an ASR.
+The ASR should have the following calling sequence and adhere to C calling
+conventions:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ rtems_asr user_routine(
+ rtems_signal_set signals
+ );
+
+When the ASR returns to RTEMS the mode and execution path of the interrupted
+task (or ASR) is restored to the context prior to entering the ASR.

-DESCRIPTION:
- This directive sends a signal set to the task specified in id. The
- signal_set parameter contains the signal set to be sent to the task.
-
- If a caller sends a signal set to a task with an invalid ASR, then an error
- code is returned to the caller. If a caller sends a signal set to a task
- whose ASR is valid but disabled, then the signal set will be caught and
- left pending for the ASR to process when it is enabled. If a caller sends a
- signal set to a task with an ASR that is both valid and enabled, then the
- signal set is caught and the ASR will execute the next time the task is
- dispatched to run.
-
-NOTES:
- Sending a signal set to a task has no effect on that task's state. If a
- signal set is sent to a blocked task, then the task will remain blocked and
- the signals will be processed when the task becomes the running task.
-
- Sending a signal set to a global task which does not reside on the local
- node will generate a request telling the remote node to send the signal set
- to the specified task.
