EunBong Song 91aa26774b This patch prevent heap corruption as in below case.
TASK A                        TASK B
                              malloc()
                              mm_takesemaphore()
                              heap holder is set to TASK B
                         <--- preempt
...
task_exit()
Set to current task to
  TASK B
Try to release tcb, and
  stack memory
free()
mm_takesemaphore()
  - Successfully obtain
    semaphore because current
    task and heap holder is
    same.
Free memory....
Heap corrupt.

This change forces all de-allocations via sched_kfree() and sched_ufree()
to be delayed.  Eliminating the immediate de-allocation prevents the
above problem with the the re-entrant semaphore because the deallocation
always occurs on the worker thread, never on TASK B.

There could be consequences in the timing of memory availability.  We
will see.

clock Move clock_timespec_[add|subtract] to include/nuttx/clock.h 2018-08-27 06:04:04 -06:00
environ fs/proc and sched/environ: Add support for a procfs entry that will permit examining the environment of any task. 2018-08-10 10:16:39 -06:00
errno Standardization of some function headers. 2018-03-13 09:52:27 -06:00
group sched/: Update signal default STOP action. If waitpid was called with the WUNTRACED then wake up waitpid. Also fix some compile problems.. How did this work before? 2018-09-02 13:51:52 -06:00
init sched/wqueue: Notifier design cleanup. The original concept used pre-allocated notification data structures. However, the notification dat must persist for an indeterminate amount of time. So the design was modified to use dynamically allocted data structures. This commit simplifies the design by removed some residual 'machinery' that is no longer needed. 2018-09-10 06:29:51 -06:00
irq This commit adds support for default signal actions for SIGSTOP, SIGSTP, and SIGCONT. 2018-08-30 10:27:18 -06:00
module configs/olimex-stm32_p407: Add logic to support initialization of the kernel module symbol table installed in the pass2/ directory during the application phase of the build. The kmodule configuration appears to be fully functional. 2018-08-07 10:50:25 -06:00
mqueue sched/signal: Add a generic signal notification facility. Modify the custom IOB available notifier so that it is now just a wrapper around this generic signal notification. This generic signal notification faility will, eventually, be used to support network polling. 2018-09-09 08:32:37 -06:00
paging Replace all ASSERT with DEBUGASSERT to save the code space 2018-08-24 06:58:30 -06:00
pthread pthreads: Add support static pthread stack. Add standard pthread_attr_setstack() and pthread_attr_getstack(). In all cases where the stack is released, add check to see which allocator must be used to free the stack: The user or the kernel allocator. 2018-08-23 09:49:20 -06:00
sched This patch prevent heap corruption as in below case. 2018-09-11 08:17:33 -06:00
semaphore mm/iob and sched/semaphore: Work around some issues with the IOB throttle semaphore. It has some odd behaviors that can cause assertions in sem_post(). Also, it seems to get outside of its range occasionally. Need to REVISIT this. 2018-09-10 11:32:09 -06:00
signal Signals were not a good choice of IPC to implement the poll function for several reasons: In order to handle the asynchrnous poll-related event, a substantial amount of state information is needed. Signals are only capable of passing minimal amounts of data. There are also complexities with performing kernel space signal handlers in kernel space code that is better to avoid. So, instead of signals, the equivalent logic was converted to run via a callback that executes on the high-priority work queue. 2018-09-09 15:01:44 -06:00
