Before, rtx calls would hard fault in critical sections when an svc
instruction was attempted with interrupts disabled.
Required changes:
- Added check for CPSR I bit in cortex A rtx
- Added check for PRIMASK in cortex M rtx
- Modified critical sections in cortex M rtx to be recursive
(already recursive in cortex A)
Add an RTX hook which gets called when a thread terminates. Add
the function Thread::attach_terminate_hook() to allow users to attach
a hook to this event at runtime.
Add the function osThreadGetInfo to allow various Thread information
to be queried. This includes stack size and maximum stack usage among
other things.
Note - for Cortex-A devices the worst case stack usage is not
available.
Add the functions osThreadsEnumStart, osThreadEnumNext and
osThreadEnumFree to allow enumeration of running threads. Protect
thread creation, thread exit and thread termination with a mutex
so threads are not created or destroyed while an enumeration is
ongoing.
The rtx SVC_Handler for IAR clobbers r0-r3 despite the number of
arguments. However, in the SVC calls, the __swi function is declared
with fewer arguments. IAR doesn't understand that the other registers are
clobbered and stores variables in r0-r3 when multiple SVCs are
dispatched in a single function.
This bug was noticed in osThreadExit, which hard-faults on IAR,
preventing any threads from exiting.
Add the OsEventObserver mechanism. A client interested in receiving
notifications on certain OS events can register to receive notifications
with osRegisterForOsEvents. This is useful for clients like the secure
memory allocator, which observes thread switching events in order to swap
in and out different memory allocator objects.
