The header file <rtems/malloc.h> provides now also the malloc_walk()
prototype.
The malloc_walk() prototype reflects now the _Protected_heap_Walk() API.
The return status helps to print only in case of an error.
The pathconf_limits_and_options field of
rtems_filesystem_mount_table_entry_t is now a const pointer to reduce
the read-write memory demands of file system instances.
The scope of the file system operations is the file system instance.
The scope of the file system node handlers is the file location. The
benefit of moving the operations to the mount table entry is a size
reduction of the file location (rtems_filesystem_location_info_t). The
code size is slightly increased due to additional load instructions.
Restructure rtems_filesystem_mount_table_entry_t to improve cache
efficiency.
It is now the responsibility of the read() and write() handler to update
the offset field of the IO descriptor (rtems_libio_t). This change
makes it possible to protect the IO descriptor from concurrent access by
per file locks.
These modifications were required by hand after running the script.
In some cases, the file names did not match patterns. In others,
the format of the file did not match any common patterns.
Script does what is expected and tries to do it as
smartly as possible.
+ remove occurrences of two blank comment lines
next to each other after Id string line removed.
+ remove entire comment blocks which only exited to
contain CVS Ids
+ If the processing left a blank line at the top of
a file, it was removed.
The fat_file_datasync() read every cluster of the file into the cache
and then synchronized it step-by-step. For unmodified buffers this is a
non-operation. For modified buffers this will wake-up the swapout task
which performs then a single buffer write operation. This is usually
quite inefficient. Firstly we do single buffer writes, secondly we
may perform a lot of unnecessary read operations (for huge files this is
really bad), and thirdly this leads likely to cache evictions.
The synchronization procedure is replaced by a simple
rtems_bdbuf_sync_dev(). This has the side-effect that also buffers not
related to the file are synchronized, but since the modified list is
normally short this should be acceptable.
According to POSIX the lseek() function shall not, by itself, extend the
size of a file.
Remove the size field of rtems_libio_t. A file has only one size but
may have multiple open file descriptors. Thus a file size field in the
file descriptor may lead to inconsistencies.
New default handlers rtems_filesystem_default_lseek_file() and
rtems_filesystem_default_lseek_directory().
The prototype for the clock driver tick isr varies based upon
the interrupt model used by the port. This driver was checking
solely upon a flag set by the BSP.
