* Remove I/O priority. It is harmful when used with the new file code.Michael Sevakis2014-08-30
| | | | | | | | | | HAVE_IO_PRIORITY was defined for native targets with dircache. It is already effectively disabled for the most part since dircache no longer lowers its thread's I/O priority. It existed primarily for the aforementioned configuration. Change-Id: Ia04935305397ba14df34647c8ea29c2acaea92aa
* Base scheduler queues off linked lists and do cleanup/consolidationMichael Sevakis2014-08-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Abstracts threading from itself a bit, changes the way its queues are handled and does type hiding for that as well. Do alot here due to already required major brain surgery. Threads may now be on a run queue and a wait queue simultaneously so that the expired timer only has to wake the thread but not remove it from the wait queue which simplifies the implicit wake handling. List formats change for wait queues-- doubly-linked, not circular. Timeout queue is now singly-linked. The run queue is still circular as before. Adds a better thread slot allocator that may keep the slot marked as used regardless of the thread state. Assists in dumping special tasks that switch_thread was tasked to perform (blocking tasks). Deletes alot of code yet surprisingly, gets larger than expected. Well, I'm not not minding that for the time being-- omlettes and break a few eggs and all that.

* Do some kernel cleanupMichael Sevakis2014-08-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * Seal away private thread and kernel definitions and declarations into the internal headers in order to better hide internal structure. * Add a thread-common.c file that keeps shared functions together. List functions aren't messed with since that's about to be changed to different ones. * It is necessary to modify some ARM/PP stuff since GCC was complaining about constant pool distance and I would rather not force dump it. Just bl the cache calls in the startup and exit code and let it use veneers if it must. * Clean up redundant #includes in relevant areas and reorganize them. * Expunge useless and dangerous stuff like remove_thread().

* Fix some stuff for no priority andMichael Sevakis2014-08-06
| | | | | | | | | | thread_queue_wake() doesn't need the 2nd parameter. The original purpose for it never came to be. Non priority version mrsw_writer_wakeup_readers was left improperly finished. Get that back into line. Change-Id: Ic613a2479f3cc14dc7c761517670eb15178da9f5
* Add multi-reader, single-writer locks to kernel.Michael Sevakis2014-08-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Any number of readers may be in the critical section at a time and writers are mutually exclusive to all other threads. They are a better choice when data is rarely modified but often read and multiple threads can safely access it for reading. Priority inheritance is fully implemented along with other changes to the kernel to fully support it on multiowner objects. This also cleans up priority code in the kernel and updates some associated structures in existing objects to the cleaner form. Currently doesn't add the mrsw_lock.[ch] files since they're not yet needed by anything but the supporting improvements are still useful. This includes a typed bitarray API (bitarray.h) which is pretty basic for now.

* Make errno a thread-local variable.Michael Sevakis2014-05-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | errno is supposed to be thread local and we do that here in a rather makeshift way by implementing a function that returns a pointer to the __errno variable in the thread block. If more serious TLS is required, perhaps it would be worthwhile implementing it using the linker and the "__thread" storage attribute. That's a bit overkill just for this. I'm also not liking what I saw the compiler producing.

* kernel: Break out kernel primitives into separate files and move to separate ↵Thomas Martitz2014-03-03
dir. No code changed, just shuffling stuff around. This should make it easier to build only select parts kernel and use different implementations. Change-Id: Ie1f00f93008833ce38419d760afd70062c5e22b5
