* Remove make preinstallChris Johns2018-01-251-105/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Implement userspace gettimeofday(2) with HPET timecounter. Right now, userspace (fast) gettimeofday(2) on x86 only works for RDTSC. For older machines, like Core2, where RDTSC is not C2/C3 invariant, and which fall to HPET hardware, this means that the call has both the penalty of the syscall and of the uncached hw behind the QPI or PCIe connection to the sought bridge. Nothing can me done against the access latency, but the syscall overhead can be removed. System already provides mappable /dev/hpetX devices, which gives straight access to the HPET registers page. Add yet another algorithm to the x86 'vdso' timehands. Libc is updated to handle both RDTSC and HPET. For HPET, the index of the hpet device to mmap is passed from kernel to userspace, index might be changed and libc invalidates its mapping as needed. Remove cpu_fill_vdso_timehands() KPI, instead require that timecounters which can be used from userspace, to provide tc_fill_vdso_timehands{,32}() methods. Merge i386 and amd64 libc/<arch>/sys/__vdso_gettc.c into one source file in the new libc/x86/sys location. __vdso_gettc() internal interface is changed to move timecounter algorithm detection into the MD code. Measurements show that RDTSC even with the syscall overhead is faster than userspace HPET access. But still, userspace HPET is three-four times faster than syscall HPET on several Core2 and SandyBridge machines.

| | | | | | | | | | Constify the pointers to eventtimer and timecounter name strings. The need for this appears as soon as you try to set the names to something that isn't a "quoted literal". (I'm actually confused why quoted strings aren't a problem as well, we must have some warning disabled.) Update #3175.

* timecounter: Use uint32_t instead of u_intAlexander Krutwig2015-05-191-2/+2
| | | | | | | FreeBSD assumes that u_int is a 32-bit integer type. This is wrong for some 16-bit targets supported by RTEMS. Update #2271.
