Only register ask for help requests in the scheduler unblock and yield
operations. The actual ask for help operation is carried out during
_Thread_Do_dispatch() on a processor related to the thread. This yields
a better separation of scheduler instances. A thread of one scheduler
instance should not be forced to carry out too much work for threads on
other scheduler instances.
Update #2556.
Add the special thread queue name _Thread_queue_Object_name to mark
thread queues embedded in an object with identifier. Using the special
thread state STATES_THREAD_QUEUE_WITH_IDENTIFIER is not reliable for
this purpose since the thread wait information and thread state are
protected by different SMP locks in separate critical sections. Remove
STATES_THREAD_QUEUE_WITH_IDENTIFIER.
Add and use _Thread_queue_Object_initialize().
Update #2858.
Instead of using the target time and console driver, both tests now use
assertions and rtems_rate_monotonic_get_status() to verify the count of
postponed jobs. The setting of spedfsched04 is slightly changed.
Close#2795.
It is necessary to enable the DWT using a special initialization
sequence before the CYCCNT can be enabled. See for example the
RESET_CYCLE_COUNTER in libbsp/arm/atsam/utils/utility.h.
Note that this problem only occurs if no debugger is connected. A
debugger most likely already enables the necessary module.
Prepare a precondition to prevent the potential integer overflow.
Remove one redundant parameter in _Rate_monotonic_Renew_deadline().
sptests/sprmsched02: Create
A test case for checking the overflow condition of postponed_jobs
in rtems_rate_monotonic_period_status.
Update #2885.
Use forward and reverse order for initial and dynamic extensions. This
is the behaviour documented in the C Users Guide. Change thread
terminate order to backward to be in line with the thread delete order.
Change fatal error order to forward to ensure that initial extensions
are called first due the peculiar execution context of fatal error
extensions, see _Terminate() documentation.
Update #2692.
Add a variable named "count" in rtems_rate_monotonic_period_status
structure. Revise rtems_rate_monotonic_get_status() for the postponed
job count.
sptests/sp69: Add in the verification of the postponed job count for
rtems_rate_monotonic_get_status().
Update #2795.
Since the FP area pointer is passed by reference in
_CPU_Context_Initialize_fp() the optional FP area adjustment via
_CPU_Context_Fp_start() is superfluous. It is also wrong with respect
to memory management, e.g. pointer passed to _Workspace_Free() may be
not the one returned by _Workspace_Allocate().
Close#1400.
