Summary:
- Fixes a linker issue in https://github.com/apache/nuttx/pull/8244 by disabling compiler optimization.
- Adjusts CONFIG_DEFAULT_TASK_STACKSIZE to 4096 to ensure proper functioning of cxxtest.
Impact:
- The changes may slightly affect performance due to disabled optimizations
but are necessary for cxxtest stability.
Testing:
- Successfully tested on QEMU-8.1.2 with arm gcc 12.3.Rel1,
confirming resolution of the linker issue and stable operation of cxxtest.

- migrated /README are removed from /boards
- there are a lot of READMEs that should be further converted to rst.
At the moment they are moved to Documentation/platforms and included in rst files
When I try to set priorities in certain programs, such as init_priority(HIGH_PRIORITY), I've noticed that during linking, there's no guarantee that the programs will be compiled in the sequence I've specified based on priority. This has led to some runtime errors in my program.
I realized that in the ld file, when initializing dynamic arrays, there's no assurance of initializing init_array.* before init_array. This has resulted in runtime errors in the program. Consequently, I've rearranged the init_array.* in the ld file of NuttX to be placed before init_array and added a SORT operation to init_array.* to ensure accurate initialization based on priorities during linking.
1. Update all CMakeLists.txt to adapt to new layout
2. Fix cmake build break
3. Update all new file license
4. Fully compatible with current compilation environment(use configure.sh or cmake as you choose)
------------------
How to test
From within nuttx/. Configure:
cmake -B build -DBOARD_CONFIG=sim/nsh -GNinja
cmake -B build -DBOARD_CONFIG=sim:nsh -GNinja
cmake -B build -DBOARD_CONFIG=sabre-6quad/smp -GNinja
cmake -B build -DBOARD_CONFIG=lm3s6965-ek/qemu-flat -GNinja
(or full path in custom board) :
cmake -B build -DBOARD_CONFIG=$PWD/boards/sim/sim/sim/configs/nsh -GNinja
This uses ninja generator (install with sudo apt install ninja-build). To build:
$ cmake --build build
menuconfig:
$ cmake --build build -t menuconfig
--------------------------
2. cmake/build: reformat the cmake style by cmake-format
https://github.com/cheshirekow/cmake_format
$ pip install cmakelang
$ for i in `find -name CMakeLists.txt`;do cmake-format $i -o $i;done
$ for i in `find -name *\.cmake`;do cmake-format $i -o $i;done

There is currently a big problem in the address environment handling which
is that the address environment is released too soon when the process is
exiting. The current MMU mappings will always be the exiting process's, which means
the system needs them AT LEAST until the next context switch happens. If
the next thread is a kernel thread, the address environment is needed for
longer.
Kernel threads "lend" the address environment of the previous user process.
This is beneficial in two ways:
- The kernel processes do not need an allocated address environment
- When a context switch happens from user -> kernel or kernel -> kernel,
the TLB does not need to be flushed. This must be done only when
changing to a different user address environment.
Another issue is when a new process is created; the address environment
of the new process must be temporarily instantiated by up_addrenv_select().
However, the system scheduler does not know that the process has a different
address environment to its own and when / if a context restore happens, the
wrong MMU page directory is restored and the process will either crash or
do something horribly wrong.
The following changes are needed to fix the issues:
- Add mm_curr which is the current address environment of the process
- Add a reference counter to safeguard the address environment
- Whenever an address environment is mapped to MMU, its reference counter
is incremented
- Whenever and address environment is unmapped from MMU, its reference
counter is decremented, and tested. If no more references -> drop the
address environment and release the memory as well
- To limit the context switch delay, the address environment is freed in
a separate low priority clean-up thread (LPWORK)
- When a process temporarily instantiates another process's address
environment, the scheduler will now know of this and will restore the
correct mappings to MMU
Why is this not causing more noticeable issues ? The problem only happens
under the aforementioned special conditions, and if a context switch or
IRQ occurs during this time.
Summary:
- Since QEMU does not report L2CC information correctly,
NuttX stops if DEBUG_ASSERTIONS=y.
- This commit adds DEBUG_ASSERTIONS=y to citest/defconfigs
and disables L2CC related configs.
- Also, it disables RAMLOG to show the crash information
Impact:
- None
Testing:
- Tested with QEMU-7.1

Enable this option to optimization the unused input sections with the
linker by compiling with " -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections ", and
linking with " --gc-sections ".
