TODO: Remove simulator SMP bug
My understanding is the Xiao Xiang has corrected this problem so it should no longer be carried as a bug

Title: SMP SIMULATION ISSUES
|
||||
Description: The configuration has basic support SMP testing. The simulation
|
||||
supports the emulation of multiple CPUs by creating multiple
|
||||
pthreads, each run a copy of the simulation in the same process
|
||||
address space.
|
||||
|
||||
At present, the SMP simulation is not fully functional: It does
|
||||
operate on the simulated CPU threads for a few context switches
|
||||
then fails during a setjmp() operation. I suspect that this is
|
||||
not an issue with the NuttX SMP logic but more likely some chaos
|
||||
in the pthread controls. I have seen similar such strange behavior
|
||||
other times that I have tried to use setjmp/longmp from a signal
|
||||
handler! Like when I tried to implement simulated interrupts
|
||||
using signals.
|
||||
|
||||
Apparently, if longjmp is invoked from the context of a signal
|
||||
handler, the result is undefined:
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
You can enable SMP for ostest configuration by enabling:
|
||||
|
||||
-# CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL is not set
|
||||
+CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL=y
|
||||
|
||||
+CONFIG_SPINLOCK=y
|
||||
+CONFIG_SMP=y
|
||||
+CONFIG_SMP_NCPUS=2
|
||||
+CONFIG_SMP_IDLETHREAD_STACKSIZE=2048
|
||||
|
||||
You also must enable near-realtime-performance otherwise even long
|
||||
timeouts will expire before a CPU thread even has a chance to
|
||||
execute.
|
||||
|
||||
-# CONFIG_SIM_WALLTIME is not set
|
||||
+CONFIG_SIM_WALLTIME=y
|
||||
|
||||
And you can enable some additional debug output with:
|
||||
|
||||
-# CONFIG_DEBUG_SCHED is not set
|
||||
+CONFIG_DEBUG_SCHED=y
|
||||
|
||||
-# CONFIG_SCHED_INSTRUMENTATION is not set
|
||||
+CONFIG_SCHED_INSTRUMENTATION=y
|
||||
|
||||
The NSH configuration can also be forced to run SMP, but
|
||||
suffers from the same quirky behavior. I can be made
|
||||
reliable if you modify arch/sim/src/up_idle.c so that
|
||||
the IDLE loop only runs for CPU0. Otherwise, often
|
||||
simuart_post() will be called from CPU1 and it will try
|
||||
to restart NSH on CPU0 and, again, the same quirkiness
|
||||
occurs.
|
||||
|
||||
But for example, this command:
|
||||
|
||||
nsh> sleep 1 &
|
||||
|
||||
will execute the sleep command on CPU1 which has worked
|
||||
every time that I have tried it (which is not too many
|
||||
times).
