particular, using bsp.h, or getting information from the BSP which
should properly be obtained from RTEMS is forbidden. This is
necessary to strengthen the division between the BSP independent
parts of RTEMS and the BSPs themselves. This started after
comments and analysis by Ralf Corsepius <corsepiu@faw.uni-ulm.de>.
The changes primarily eliminated the need to include bsp.h and
peeking at BSP_Configuration. The use of Cpu_table in each
BSP needs to be eliminated.
First, the unlimited patch. I have compiled the unlmited patch for the
Linux posix BSP only and it seems to work cleanly. I would like a really
major application run on this change before commiting as the changes are
very core and significant. I am currently building all the tests to run.
I have no targets suitable to test on at the moment.
I have tested the patch for inline functions and macros.
Turning macros on has found some core bugs. I have fixed these but have
not run all the tests. Please review the patch for these changes. They
are:
1) The conditional compilation for MP support broke the core messages
code. You cannot embed a conditional macro in another macro. The Send
and Urgent Send calls are macros.
2) User extensions handler initialisation now has two parameters. I have
updated the macros to support the extra parameter.
The patch also contains the gcc-target-default.cfg fix required to build
the kernel. More of a by product than a fix for you.
single biggest changes were the expansion of the workspace size
macro to include other types of objects and the increase in the
minimum stack size for most CPUs.
Configuration Table Template file added and all tests
modified to use this. All gvar.h and conftbl.h files
removed from test directories.
Configuration parameter maximum_devices added.
Core semaphore and mutex handlers added and RTEMS API Semaphore
Manager updated to reflect this.
Initialization sequence changed to invoke API specific initialization
routines. Initialization tasks table now owned by RTEMS Tasks Manager.
Added user extension for post-switch.
Utilized user extensions to implement API specific functionality
like signal dispatching.
Added extensions to the System Initialization Thread so that an
API can register a function to be invoked while the system
is being initialized. These are largely equivalent to the
pre-driver and post-driver hooks.
Added the Modules file oar-go32_p5, modified oar-go32, and modified
the file make/custom/go32.cfg to look at an environment varable which
determines what CPU model is being used.
All BSPs updated to reflect named devices and clock driver's IOCTL
used by the Shared Memory Driver. Also merged clock isr into
main file and removed ckisr.c where possible.
Updated spsize to reflect new and moved variables.
Makefiles for the executive source and include files updated to show
break down of files into Core, RTEMS API, and Neither.
Header and inline files installed into subdirectory based on whether
logically in the Core or a part of the RTEMS API.
