Sebastian Huber 23f517900f cpukit/score/cpu/mips: Restore the exception PC
_ISR_Handler wrote the exception program counter of the frame back to
coprocessor 0 register 14 on one path alone.  That path follows the
call of _Thread_Dispatch().  The common exit reached eret with the
register unchanged.  A handler which changed the counter of the frame
therefore had no effect on MIPS III and MIPS32.  The mips1 multilib
hid the defect, because its exit returns with j k1 and takes the
address from the frame.

mips_emulate_rdhwr_ulr() depends on that change.  The 24Kf of Qemu
leaves Config3.ULRI clear, so rdhwr raises a reserved instruction
exception.  The handler supplies the thread pointer and advances the
counter by four.  On mips/malta the advance was lost and the
instruction ran again.  A trace of Qemu showed the same exception
11545896 times in eight seconds.  sptls01, sptls02, sptls04,
ts-validation-tls-0, ts-validation-tls-1, ts-validation-1 and
ts-validation-one-cpu-1 failed.

Write the counter of the frame back in _ISR_Handler_exit.  Set the
exception level first, which the eret clears again.

Update #5765.

Real-Time Executive for Multiprocessing Systems

RTEMS is a real-time executive (kernel) which provides a high performance environment for embedded applications with the following features:

  • Standards based user interfaces.
  • Multitasking capabilities.
  • Homogeneous and heterogeneous multiprocessor systems.
  • Symmetric Multiprocessing (SMP):
    • Cluster scheduling: Job-level fixed prority scheduler (EDF) with support for one-to-one and one-to-all thread to processor affinities.
    • Locking protocols with transitive priority inheritance, priority ceiling, MRsP and OMIP.
  • Event-driven, priority-based, preemptive scheduling.
  • Scalable timer and timeout support.
  • Optional rate monotonic scheduling.
  • Intertask communication and synchronisation.
  • Priority inheritance.
  • Responsive interrupt management.
  • Dynamic memory allocation.
  • Dynamic code loading using run-time link editing.
  • File systems, IMFS, FAT, RFS, JFFS, NSFv4 (with LibBSD)
  • High level of user configurability.
  • Link-time configurable schedulers.
  • Linker-set based initialization (similar to global C++ constructors).
  • Drivers for I2C, SPI and LibBSD has NIC, USB, SD/MMC and Framebuffer.
  • Open source with a friendly user license.
