rockbox/firmware/export/thread.h, branch master

kernel: Break out kernel primitives into separate files and move to separate dir.

2014-03-03T17:11:57+00:00

No code changed, just shuffling stuff around. This should make it easier to
build only select parts kernel and use different implementations.

Refactor audio thread to run both recording and playback.

2013-05-31T07:20:35+00:00

Eliminates the pcmrec thread and keeps playback and recording engine
operation mutually-exclusive.

audio_thread.c contains the audio thread which branches to the
correct engine depending upon the request. It also handles the main
audio initialization.

Moves pcm_init into main.c just before dsp_init because I don't want
that one in audio_init in the new file.

(Also makes revision df6e1bc pointless ;)

Create fimrware/asm directory for assembly optimized stuff.

2012-01-22T17:46:44+00:00

This dir is suitable for stuff that doesn't fit the target tree, e.g. because
it also builds on hosted or otherwise. It also has a generic subfolder for
fallback C implementations so that not all archs need to provide asm files.

SOURCES should only contain "foo.c" where foo.c includes the specific
/foo.c files from the subdirs using the preprocessor. This way automatic
selection of asm versions or generic C verion is possible.

For the start, the thread support files are moved, since ASM threads can
be used on hosted platforms as well. Since core_sleep() remains platform
specific it's moved to the corresponding system.h headers.

Change the thread api a bit.

2011-03-05T17:48:06+00:00

* Remove THREAD_ID_CURRENT macro in favor of a thread_self() function, this allows thread functions to be simpler.
* thread_self_entry() shortcut for kernel.c.

Merge functionality of wakeups and semaphores-- fewer APIs and object types. semaphore_wait takes a timeout now so codecs and plugins have to be made incompatible. Don't make semaphores for targets not using them.

Cleanup preprocessor around corelock usage and move its definition outside #ifdef ASSEMBLER_THREADS

Implement cooperative threads on hosted platforms using C code.

2011-02-18T22:46:01+00:00

This replaces SDL threads with real cooperative threads, which are less cpu intensive and allow priority scheduling.
The backend for context switching is dependant on the host (sigaltstack/longjmp on Unix, Fibers on Windows).
configure has options to force or disallow SDL threads.
