And remove syslog_init_e because all initialization is later now and we don't
distinguish the initialition phase anymore after ramlog don't need special
initialize.
Because we can get the same function by CONSOLE_SYSLOG/syslog_console_init.
BTW, it isn't a good choice to use g_ramlogfops as /dev/console since nsh
will read back what it send out which will surprise most people.
it doesn't make sense that iob initialization is in up_initialize

To ensure size_t same as toolchain definition in the first place and rename CXX_NEWLONG to ARCH_SIZET_LONG. The change also check whether __SIZE_TYPE__ exist before CONFIG_ARCH_SIZET_LONG so our definition can align with toolchain(gcc/clang) definition automatically.
The benefit include:
1. Simplify the implementation
2. Support both tick and tickless automatically
3. No time drift in tickless mode
4. Support critmon arch API automatically
To avoid ps generate "Segmentation fault" because do_stackcheck
check the stack color if the stack size doesn't equal zero
BTW, it is better to set idle task stack size to zero since idle
task use the host thread and the stack size from config isn't the
actual value.
The benefits include:
1. Simplify the implementation
2. Support Ctrl+C automatically
3. Support poll automatically
4. Call pm_activity automatically
5. Save one polling thread
Call xxx_timer_initialize from clock subsystem to make timer ready for use as soon as possiblei and revert the workaround:
commit 0863e771a9
Author: Gregory Nutt <gnutt@nuttx.org>
Date: Fri Apr 26 07:24:57 2019 -0600
Revert "sched/clock/clock_initialize.c: clock_inittime() needs to be done with CONFIG_SCHED_TICKLESS and clock_initialize should skip clock_inittime() for external RTC case since the RTC isn't ready yet."
This reverts commit 2bc709d4b9.
Commit 2bc709d4b9 was intended to handle the case where up_timer_gettime may not start from zero case. However, this change has the side-effect of breaking every implementation of tickless mode: After this change the tickless timer structures are used before they are initialized in clock_inittime(). Initialization happens later when up_initialize is called() when arm_timer_initialize().
Since the tickless mode timer is very special, one solution might be to
1. Rename xxx_timer_initialize to up_timer_initialize
2 Move up_timer_initialize to include/nuttx/arch.h
3. Call it from clock subsystem instead up_initialize
Basically, this change make timer initialization almost same as rtc initialization(up_rtc_initialize).
For now, however, we just need to revert the change.

sim: Prefix symbols with _ for non-ELF
Namely for Mach-O. Leave __CYGWIN__ case as it is.
* ld doesn't have --start-groupi/--end-group things. As far as I know,
it works that way by default.
* objcopy with Mach-O support is not widely available.
(GNU binutils seem to claim the support but it didn't actually work
for me. llvm-objcopy --redefine-syms explicitly rejects Mach-O.)
Instead, use -unexported_symbols_list linker flag to hide symbols
to avoid conflicts with host symbols.
The recent x86-64 convention requires 16-byte alignment before
(not after) calling a function.
This fixes snprintf crash I observed on macOS while saving XMM registers.
1. No .c file should include a "Public Types" section. Only a header file can define a public type. A .c file can only define a private type. Several files contained private type definitions. The section that they were defined in, however, was incorrectly named "Public Types." Those were easilty changed to "Private Types" which is what they are.
2. No .c file should include a "Public Function Prototypes" section. All global function prototypes should be provided via a header file and never declared with a .c file.
For No. 2, I corrected as many cases as was reasonable for the time that I had available. But there are still a dozen or so .c files that declare "Public Function Prototypes" within a .c file. This is bad programming style. These declarations should all be moved to the proper header files.

Ran nxstyle against many of the affected files. But this job was too big for today. Many of the network drivers under arch are highly non-compiant and generate many, many faults from nxstyle. Those will have to be visited again another day.
Author: Xiang Xiao <xiaoxiang@xiaomi.com>
This effects all network drivers as well as timing related portions of net/: devif_poll_tcp_timer shouldn't be skipped in the multiple card case. devif_timer will be called multiple time in one period if the multiple card exist, the elapsed time calculated for the first callback is right, but the flowing callback in the same period is wrong(very short) because the global variable g_polltimer is used in the calculation. So let's pass the delay time to devif_timer and remove g_polltimer.
This change decouples that upper activity-based logic from the lower random walk logic and allows use of other upper state detection logic (such as a custom, application-specific state machine).

This makes the user interface a little hostile. People thing of an MTU of 1500 bytes, but the corresponding packet is really 1514 bytes (including the 14 byte Ethernet header). A more friendly solution would configure the MTU (as before), but then derive the packet buffer size by adding the MAC header length. Instead, we define the packet buffer size then derive the MTU.
The MTU is not common currency in networking. On the wire, the only real issue is the MSS which is derived from MTU by subtracting the IP header and TCP header sizes (for the case of TCP). Now it is derived for the PKTSIZE by subtracting the IP header, the TCP header, and the MAC header sizes. So we should be all good and without the recurring 14 byte error in MTU's and MSS's.

This commit backs out most of commit b4747286b1. That change was added because sem_wait() would sometimes cause cancellation points inappropriated. But with these recent changes, nxsem_wait() is used instead and it is not a cancellation point.
In the OS, all calls to sem_wait() changed to nxsem_wait(). nxsem_wait() does not return errors via errno so each place where nxsem_wait() is now called must not examine the errno variable.
In all OS functions (not libraries), change sem_wait() to nxsem_wait(). This will prevent the OS from creating bogus cancellation points and from modifying the per-task errno variable.
sched/semaphore: Add the function nxsem_wait(). This is a new internal OS interface. It is functionally equivalent to sem_wait() except that (1) it is not a cancellation point, and (2) it does not set the per-thread errno value on return.
sched/semaphore: Add nxsem_post() which is identical to sem_post() except that it never modifies the errno variable. Changed all references to sem_post in the OS to nxsem_post().
sched/semaphore: Add nxsem_destroy() which is identical to sem_destroy() except that it never modifies the errno variable. Changed all references to sem_destroy() in the OS to nxsem_destroy().
libc/semaphore and sched/semaphore: Add nxsem_getprotocol() and nxsem_setprotocola which are identical to sem_getprotocol() and set_setprotocol() except that they never modifies the errno variable. Changed all references to sem_setprotocol in the OS to nxsem_setprotocol(). sem_getprotocol() was not used in the OS
libc/semaphore: Add nxsem_getvalue() which is identical to sem_getvalue() except that it never modifies the errno variable. Changed all references to sem_getvalue in the OS to nxsem_getvalue().
sched/semaphore: Rename all internal private functions from sem_xyz to nxsem_xyz. The sem_ prefix is (will be) reserved only for the application semaphore interfaces.

This patch enhances networking support for the simulation under Linux.
Includes updated support for Linux TUN/TAP, and the addition of support for
Linux bridge devices.
CHANGES
-------
o Check to see if the d_txavail callback is present before calling it in
the arp send code. This prevents a segfault when simulating the telnetd
daemon with arp send enabled.
o Adjust the simulation's netdriver_loop() so it will detect and respond to
ARP requests.
o Do not attempt to take the tap device's hardware address for use by the
simulation. That hardware address belongs to the host end of the link,
not the simulation end. Generate a randomized MAC address instead.
o Do not assign an IP address to the interface on the host side of the TAP
link.
+ Provide two modes: "host route" and "bridge".
+ In host route mode, maintain a host route that points any traffic for the
simulation's IP address to the tap device. In this mode, so long as the
simulation's IP is a free address in the same subnet as the host, no
additional configuration will be required to talk to it from the host.
Note that address changes are handled automatically if they follow the
rule of if-down/set-address/if-up, which everything seems to.
+ In bridge mode, add the tap device to the specified bridge instance. See
configs/sim/NETWORK-LINUX.txt for information and usage examples. This
enables much more flexible configurations (with fewer headaches), such as
running multiple simulations on a single host, all of which can access
the network the host is connected to.
o Refresh configurations in configs/sim where CONFIG_NET=y. They default
to "host route" mode.
o Add configs/sim/NETWORK-LINUX.txt
CAVEATS
-------
- The MAC address generation code is extremely simplistic, and does not
check for potential conflicts on the network. Probably not an issue, but
something to be aware of.
- I was careful to leave it in a state where Cygwin/pcap should still work,
but I don't have a Windows environment to test in. This should be
checked.
- I don't know if this was ever intended to work with OS X. I didn't even
try to test it there.
NOTES
-----
- Was able to get telnetd working and simulate nsh over telnet, but only so
long as listen backlogs were disabled.
There appears to be a bug in the backlog code where sockets are being
returned in SYN_RCVD state instead of waiting until they're ESTABLISHED;
if you perform an immediate send after accepting the connection, it will
confuse the stack and the send will hang; additionally, the connection
will never reach ESTABLISHED state.
Can be worked around by adding a sleep(1) after the accept in telnetd. I
don't have the necessary knowledge of the IP stack to know what the
correct fix is.
