* score: Implement scheduler helping protocolSebastian Huber2014-07-091-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The following scheduler operations return a thread in need for help - unblock, - change priority, and - yield. A thread in need for help is a thread that encounters a scheduler state change from scheduled to ready or a thread that cannot be scheduled in an unblock operation. Such a thread can ask threads which depend on resources owned by this thread for help. Add a new ask for help scheduler operation. This operation is used by _Scheduler_Ask_for_help() to help threads in need for help returned by the operations mentioned above. This operation is also used by _Scheduler_Thread_change_resource_root() in case the root of a resource sub-tree changes. A use case is the ownership change of a resource. In case it is not possible to schedule a thread in need for help, then the corresponding scheduler node will be placed into the set of ready scheduler nodes of the scheduler instance. Once a state change from ready to scheduled happens for this scheduler node it may be used to schedule the thread in need for help.
* score: Rename *_Node_get() to *_Thread_get_node()Sebastian Huber2014-07-081-1/+1
| | | | | | This emphasizes that the scheduler node of a thread is returned and this is not a function working with scheduler nodes like the other *_Node_*() functions.
* score: Replace _Scheduler_Allocate/Free()Sebastian Huber2014-06-041-0/+35
Replace _Scheduler_Allocate() with _Scheduler_Node_initialize(). Remove the return status and thus the node initialization must be always successful. Rename _Scheduler_Free() to _Scheduler_Node_destroy().
