The previous implementation of clearing global IRQ in sched_addreadytorun()
and sched_removereadytorun() was done too early. As a result, nxsem_post()
would have a chance to enter the critical section even nxsem_wait() is
still not in blocked state. This patch moves clearing global IRQ controls
from sched_addreadytorun() and sched_removereadytorun() to sched_resumescheduler()
to ensure that nxsem_post() can enter the critical section correctly.
For this change, sched_resumescheduler.c is always necessary for SMP configuration.
In addition, by this change, task_exit() had to be modified so that it calls
sched_resumescheduler() because it calls sched_removescheduler() inside the
function, otherwise it will cause a deadlock.
However, I encountered another DEBUGASSERT() in sched_cpu_select() during
HTTP streaming aging test on lc823450-xgevk. Actually sched_cpu_select()
accesses the g_assignedtasks which might be changed by another CPU. Similarly,
other tasklists might be modified simultaneously if both CPUs are executing
scheduling logic. To avoid this, I introduced tasklist protetion APIs.
With these changes, SMP kernel stability has been much improved.
