This reworks the existing MicroBlaze architecture port and BSP to
achieve basic functionality using the latest RTEMS APIs.
|
|
|
|
Currently, the AArch64 BSPs have a hard time running on real hardware
without building the toolchain and the bsps with -mstrict-align in
multiple places. Configuring the MMU on these chips allows for unaligned
memory accesses for non-device memory which avoids requiring strict
alignment in the toolchain and in the BSPs themselves.
In writing this driver, it was found that the synchronous exception
handling code needed to be rewritten since it relied on clearing SCTLR_EL1 to
avoid thread stack misalignments in RTEMS_DEBUG mode. This is now
avoided by exactly preserving thread mode stack and flags and the new
implementation is compatible with the draft information provided on the
mailing list covering the Exception Management API.

This adds an AArch64 basic BSP based on Qemu's Cortex-A53 emulation with
interrupt support using GICv3 and clock support using the ARM GPT.

Update #3706.
|

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.

A speciality of the RTEMS build system was the make preinstall step. It
copied header files from arbitrary locations into the build tree. The
header files were included via the -Bsome/build/tree/path GCC command
line option.
This has at least seven problems:
* The make preinstall step itself needs time and disk space.
* Errors in header files show up in the build tree copy. This makes it
hard for editors to open the right file to fix the error.
* There is no clear relationship between source and build tree header
files. This makes an audit of the build process difficult.
* The visibility of all header files in the build tree makes it
difficult to enforce API barriers. For example it is discouraged to
use BSP-specifics in the cpukit.
* An introduction of a new build system is difficult.
* Include paths specified by the -B option are system headers. This
may suppress warnings.
* The parallel build had sporadic failures on some hosts.
This patch removes the make preinstall step. All installed header
files are moved to dedicated include directories in the source tree.
Let @RTEMS_CPU@ be the target architecture, e.g. arm, powerpc, sparc,
etc. Let @RTEMS_BSP_FAMILIY@ be a BSP family base directory, e.g.
erc32, imx, qoriq, etc.
The new cpukit include directories are:
* cpukit/include
* cpukit/score/cpu/@RTEMS_CPU@/include
* cpukit/libnetworking
The new BSP include directories are:
* bsps/include
* bsps/@RTEMS_CPU@/include
* bsps/@RTEMS_CPU@/@RTEMS_BSP_FAMILIY@/include
There are build tree include directories for generated files.
The include directory order favours the most general header file, e.g.
it is not possible to override general header files via the include path
order.
The "bootstrap -p" option was removed. The new "bootstrap -H" option
should be used to regenerate the "headers.am" files.
Update #3254.

When HYP mode is detected at startup then setup HYP mode
vectors table (for future extensions) clean exceptions
switching to HYP mode and switch CPU to ARM SVC mode.
BSPs which want to use this support need to include next option
in their configure.ac
RTEMS_BSPOPTS_SET([BSP_START_IN_HYP_SUPPORT],[*],[1])
RTEMS_BSPOPTS_HELP([BSP_START_IN_HYP_SUPPORT], [Support start of BSP in ARM HYP mode])
AM_CONDITIONAL(BSP_START_IN_HYP_SUPPORT,test "$BSP_START_IN_HYP_SUPPORT" = "1")
and need to include next lines in corresponding Makefile.am
if BSP_START_IN_HYP_SUPPORT
libbsp_a_SOURCES += ../shared/startup/bsp-start-in-hyp-support.S
endif

The GNU ld sort by name or alignment needs distinct input sections.
|
|
Add ability to place data in a non-loadable cache-inhibited area.
|
|
This avoids consumption of a loadable address space for the nocache
heap.
|
|
This section can be use to provide a cache coherent memory area via
rtems_cache_coherent_add_area().

The ALIGN_WITH_INPUT helps to make this linker script more reliable.

longer aligned with the alignment of the input sections:
