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.

The SPARC ABI is a bit special with respect to the floating point context.
The complete floating point context is volatile. Thus, from an ABI point
of view nothing needs to be saved and restored during a context switch.
Instead the floating point context must be saved and restored during
interrupt processing. Historically, the deferred floating point switch was
used for SPARC and the complete floating point context is saved and
restored during a context switch to the new floating point unit owner.
This is a bit dangerous since post-switch actions (e.g. signal handlers)
and context switch extensions may silently corrupt the floating point
context.
The floating point unit is disabled for interrupt handlers. Thus, in case
an interrupt handler uses the floating point unit then this will result in a
trap (INTERNAL_ERROR_ILLEGAL_USE_OF_FLOATING_POINT_UNIT).
In uniprocessor configurations, a lazy floating point context switch is
used. In case an active floating point thread is interrupted (PSR[EF] == 1)
and a thread dispatch is carried out, then this thread is registered as the
floating point owner. When a floating point owner is present during a
context switch, the floating point unit is disabled for the heir thread
(PSR[EF] == 0). The floating point disabled trap checks that the use of the
floating point unit is allowed and saves/restores the floating point context
on demand.

Since the FP area pointer is passed by reference in
_CPU_Context_Initialize_fp() the optional FP area adjustment via
_CPU_Context_Fp_start() is superfluous. It is also wrong with respect
to memory management, e.g. pointer passed to _Workspace_Free() may be
not the one returned by _Workspace_Allocate().

On SMP configurations, it is a fatal error to call blocking operating
system with interrupts disabled, since this prevents delivery of
inter-processor interrupts. This could lead to executing threads which
are not allowed to execute resulting in undefined behaviour.
The ARM Cortex-M port has a similar problem, since the interrupt state
is not a part of the thread context.

In contrast to _ISR_Get_level() the _ISR_Is_enabled() function evaluates

Rename __log2table into _Bitfield_Leading_zeros since it acually returns

On SMP configurations the deferred floating point switch is not
supported in principle. So use here a safe floating point support. Safe
means that the volatile floating point context is saved and restored
around a thread dispatch issued during interrupt processing. Thus
post-switch actions and context switch extensions may safely use the
floating point unit.

The Fatal_halt handler now have two options, either halt
as before or enter system error state to return to
debugger or simulator. The exit-code is now also
propagated to the debugger which is very useful for
testing.
The CPU_Fatal_halt handler was split up into two, since
the only the LEON3 support the CPU power down.
The LEON3 halt now uses the power-down instruction to save
CPU power. This doesn't stop a potential watch-dog timer
from expiring.

Rename _BSP_Exception_frame_print() to _CPU_Exception_frame_print() to
be in line with other CPU port functions.

Without the source the error code does not say that much.
Let it be up to the CPU/BSP to determine the error code
reported on fatal shutdown.
This patch does not change the current behaviour, just
adds the option to handle the source of the fatal halt.

Rename _BSP_Start_multitasking to _LEON3_Start_multitasking to show that
it is LEON specific

A secondary processor might miss changes done to the trap table
if the instruction cache is not flushed. Once interrupts are enabled
any other required cache flushes can be ordered via the cache
manager.

Fix context switch on SMP for ARM, PowerPC and SPARC.
Atomically test and set the is executing indicator of the heir context
to ensure that at most one processor uses the heir context. Break the
busy wait loop also due to heir updates.

Guest systems in paravirtualization environments run usually in user
mode. Thus it is not possible to directly access the PSR and TBR
registers. Use functions instead of inline assembler to access these
registers if RTEMS_PARAVIRT is defined.

We must not alter the is executing indicator in
_CPU_Context_Initialize() since this would cause an invalid state during
a self restart.
The is executing indicator must be valid at creation time since
otherwise _Thread_Kill_zombies() uses an undefined value for not started
threads. This could result in a system life lock.

The current implementation of task migration in RTEMS has some
implications with respect to the interrupt latency. It is crucial to
preserve the system invariant that a task can execute on at most one
processor in the system at a time. This is accomplished with a boolean
indicator in the task context. The processor architecture specific
low-level task context switch code will mark that a task context is no
longer executing and waits that the heir context stopped execution
before it restores the heir context and resumes execution of the heir
task. So there is one point in time in which a processor is without a
task. This is essential to avoid cyclic dependencies in case multiple
tasks migrate at once. Otherwise some supervising entity is necessary to
prevent life-locks. Such a global supervisor would lead to scalability
problems so this approach is not used. Currently the thread dispatch is
performed with interrupts disabled. So in case the heir task is
currently executing on another processor then this prolongs the time of
disabled interrupts since one processor has to wait for another
processor to make progress.
It is difficult to avoid this issue with the interrupt latency since
interrupts normally store the context of the interrupted task on its
stack. In case a task is marked as not executing we must not use its
task stack to store such an interrupt context. We cannot use the heir
stack before it stopped execution on another processor. So if we enable
interrupts during this transition we have to provide an alternative task
independent stack for this time frame. This issue needs further
investigation.

Use register g6 for the per-CPU control of the current processor. The
register g6 is reserved for the operating system by the SPARC ABI. On
Linux register g6 is used for a similar purpose with the same method
since 1996.
The register g6 must be initialized during system startup and then must
remain unchanged.
Since the per-CPU control is used in all critical sections of the
operating system, this is a performance optimization for the operating
system core procedures. An additional benefit is that the low-level
context switch and interrupt processing code is now identical on non-SMP
and SMP configurations.
|
|
The registers g2 through g4 are reserved for applications. GCC uses
them as volatile registers by default. So they are treated like
volatile registers in RTEMS as well.
|
|
Add and use _CPU_SMP_Start_processor(). Add and use
_CPU_SMP_Finalize_initialization(). This makes most
_CPU_SMP_Initialize() functions a bit simpler since we can calculate the
minimum value of the count of processors requested by the application
configuration and the count of physically or virtually available
processors in the high-level code.
The CPU port has now the ability to signal a processor start failure.
With the support for clustered/partitioned scheduling the presence of
particular processors can be configured to be optional or mandatory.
There will be a fatal error only in case mandatory processors are not
present.
The CPU port may use a timeout to monitor the start of a processor.

The SPARC processors supported by RTEMS have no built-in CPU counter
support. We have to use some hardware counter module for this purpose.
The BSP must provide a 32-bit register which contains the current CPU
counter value and a function for the difference calculation. It can use
for example the GPTIMER instance used for the clock driver.
|
|
Remove RTEMS_COMPILER_PURE_ATTRIBUTE from _SMP_Get_current_processor()
and all _CPU_SMP_Get_current_processor(). Make inline ASM statements
volatile again. Test smptests/smpmigration01 showed that GCC optimizes
too much otherwise.
|
|
Rename bsp_smp_initialize() into _CPU_SMP_Initialize() since every CPU
port must supply this function.
