Resolution of Issue 619 will require multiple steps, this part of the first step in that resolution: Every call to nxsem_wait_uninterruptible() must handle the return value from nxsem_wait_uninterruptible properly. This commit is only for those files under graphics/, mm/, net/, sched/, wireless/bluetooth.
Still to do: Files under fs/, drivers/, and arch. The last is 116 files and will take some effort.
nxsem_timedwait_uninterruptible() must return -ECANCELED if the thread is canceled:
include/nuttx/semaphore.h: Return if nxsem_wait() returns ECANCELED meaning that the thread waiting for the semaphore has been canceled.
sched/semaphore/sem_timedwait.c: Same change (the inline version is in semaphore.h, the non-inlined version is in sem_tickwait.c).
drivers/sensors/lps25h.c and drivers/wireless/bluetooth/bt_uart_bcm4343x.c: Make sure that the caller deals correctly with the -ECANCELED return value.
Refer to issue 619.
* The appropriate size of stack varies among archs.
E.g. for 64-bit sim, 2048 is way too small, especially when the task
happens to use host OS functionalities.
I plan to allow an arch provide its own default.
* I plan to use this to replace hardcoded "STACKSIZE = 2048" in APPDIR.
Move the prototype for the internal OS from from sched/sched/sched.h to include/nuttx/sched.h. This was done because binfmt/binfmt/excecmodule.c requires the prototype for sched_releasetcb() and was illegally including sched/sched/sched.h. That is a blatant violation of the OS modular design and the person that did this should be hung up by their thumbs. Oh... I did that back in a bad moment in 2014. Now that is made right.
Update all files possible under sched/timer to Apache 2.0. These excludes two files that have a Xiaomi copyright. Also, run all modified files through nxstyle to assure that the conform to the coding standard.
PR #488 introduced an error in a file license header in file sched/mqueue/mqueue.h. This commit fixe that error and in the course of doing that, changing the license header to the standard Apache 2.0 header. I am the author and copyright hold of all modified files.
Also remove the horrible violation of the architectural rules by adding an include path into net in sched/group/Make.defs. Folks, if you are going to participate in this project, you MUST respect the odule architecture and never, never, never do these things.
commit d07afc934e, "fcntl: add O_CLOEXEC/FD_CLOEXEC support" introduce a compilation error .. a bad file inclusion. That commit added an unnecessary inclusion of "socket/socket.h" which is NOT available in the sched sub-directory. It is only available under the net/ sub-directory.
There is no include path for such and inclusion and there must NEVER be such a include path. Module design forbids including header files between diffent "silos" in the design. Nothing under net/ can ever be available to logic under sched/.
I finally figured out why the ez80 code has gotten so big. It is because people have been put putting big inline functions in header files. That is a violation of the coding standard, since only c89 compatibility is required in all common code. But we have been tolerating inline function it because include/nuttx/compiler.h defines 'inline' to be nothing for C89 compilers.
As a result, static inline functions declared within a C file not so bad; the inline qualifier is ignored, if not supported, but otherwise all is well.
But it is catastrophic in header files. Those static inline functions are included as static functions and implemented in EVERY file that includes those header files, even if the functions are never called. That makes the code base huge!So there is another PR coming to fix some of the worst offenders.
This commit fixes two of the worst offenders I have encountered so far: include/nuttx/sempahore.h and cache.h. But there may be a few other changes needed. Under include/nuttx there are still inline functions thread.h, inclue/nuttx/list.h, mutex.h, tree.h, and include/nuttx/crypto/blake2s.h with no protection for compilers that do not handler the inline qualifier. Otherwise we are clean.
With the changes to these two header files, the size of the z20x build is reduced by about 40%. And incredible size savings.
