This bug had probably no effect since the interrupt enable is idempotent
on all CPU ports.
Close #3497.
|
|
Thread dispatching is disabled in case interrupts are disabled. To get
an accurate thread dispatch disabled time it is important to use the
interrupt disabled instant in case a transition from an interrupt
disabled section to a thread dispatch level section happens.
|
|
Return the current processor to be in line with
_Thread_Disable_dispatch().

The _Thread_Dispatch() function is quite complex and the time to set up
and tear down the stack frame is significant. Split this function into
two parts. The complex part is now in _Thread_Do_dispatch(). Call
_Thread_Do_dispatch() in _Thread_Enable_dispatch() only if necessary.
This increases the average case performance.
Simplify _Thread_Handler() for SMP configurations.

Add per-CPU profiling stats API. Implement the thread dispatch disable
level profiling. The interrupt profiling must be implemented in CPU
port specific parts (mostly assembler code). Add a support function
_Profiling_Outer_most_interrupt_entry_and_exit() for this purpose.
|
|
Add a local context structure to the SMP lock API for acquire and
release pairs. This context can be used to store the ISR level and
profiling information. It may be later used to enable more
sophisticated lock algorithms, e.g. MCS locks.
There is only one lock that cannot be used with a local context. This
is the per-CPU lock since here we would have to transfer the local
context through a context switch which is very complicated.

This function was only used in some tests and can be replaced with other
functions.

New test smptests/smpfatal03.

Add and use _ISR_Disable_without_giant() and
_ISR_Enable_without_giant() if RTEMS_SMP is defined.
On single processor systems the ISR disable/enable was the big hammer
which ensured system-wide mutual exclusion. On SMP configurations this
no longer works since other processors do not care about disabled
interrupts on this processor and continue to execute freely.
On SMP in addition to ISR disable/enable an SMP lock must be used.
Currently we have only the Giant lock so we can check easily that ISR
disable/enable is used only in the right context.

Use a per-CPU thread dispatch disable level. So instead of one global
thread dispatch disable level we have now one instance per processor.
This is a major performance improvement for SMP. On non-SMP
configurations this may simplifiy the interrupt entry/exit code.
The giant lock is still present, but it is now decoupled from the thread
dispatching in _Thread_Dispatch(), _Thread_Handler(),
_Thread_Restart_self() and the interrupt entry/exit. Access to the
giant lock is now available via _Giant_Acquire() and _Giant_Release().
The giant lock is still implicitly acquired via
_Thread_Dispatch_decrement_disable_level().
The giant lock is only acquired for high-level operations in interrupt
handlers (e.g. release of a semaphore, sending of an event).
As a side-effect this change fixes the lost thread dispatch necessary
indication bug in _Thread_Dispatch().
A per-CPU thread dispatch disable level greatly simplifies the SMP
support for the interrupt entry/exit code since no spin locks have to be
acquired in this area. It is only necessary to get the current
processor index and use this to calculate the address of the own per-CPU
control. This reduces the interrupt latency considerably.
All elements for the interrupt entry/exit code are now part of the
Per_CPU_Control structure: thread dispatch disable level, ISR nest level
and thread dispatch necessary. Nothing else is required (except CPU
port specific stuff like on SPARC).

Add and use _SMP_Get_current_processor() and
rtems_smp_get_current_processor().
Delete bsp_smp_interrupt_cpu().
Change type of current processor index from int to uint32_t to match
_SMP_Processor_count type.
|
|
Delete _Thread_Dispatch_in_critical_section() and
_Thread_Is_dispatching_enabled().
|
|
|
|
Move thread dispatch declarations and inline functions to new header
<rtems/score/threaddispatch.h> to make it independent of the
Thread_Control structure. This avoids a cyclic dependency in case
thread dispatch functions are used for the object implementation.
