sleep_manager_racecondition test fix for devices with low CPU clock
This RP contains fix for sleep_manager_racecondition test
for very slow devices (like NRF51). It fixes the test itself
as well as side effects of fix introduced in
#5046 (us ticker: fix fire interrupt handling)
The idea of the test was to test race condition between main thread
and interrupt handler calling the same function.
To efficiently test this, each handler call should interrupt
main thread to make race more likely.
On very slow devices (like NRF51) when we set very low ticker period
(e.g less then 1000us for NRF51) there is no much time for thread scheduling.
On such slow devices, setting period to 500 us cause that
main thread is scheduled very rarely and only handler is
constantly called making test unreliable.
Fix introduced in #5046 (us ticker: fix fire interrupt handling)
changed fire_interrupt function implementation causing more
interrupt tailing thus even less time for main thread scheduling.
After introduction of #5046 (us ticker: fix fire interrupt handling)
when running sleep_manager_racecondition test on NRF51
(with ticker1.attach_us(&sleep_manager_locking_irq_test, 500);)
test is failing with timeout due to the fact that interrupt
handler is constantly called and main thread is never scheduled.
In the 'Testing accuracy of equeue semaphore' test case result is printed out in each loop iteration.
Since debug prints should not exist in the final test version I suggest to print information only in case of failure.
Additionally time needed to print single info is equal to ~25 ms (K64F/GCC_ARM). The while loop is designed to execute until 20000 ms elapses, so this print has also impact on number of times the loop is executed (number of semaphore accuracy checks).
The features/mbedtls/targets/TARGET_STM/* files include constant needed
for the error codes returned from the MD functions.
The features/mbedtls/targets/hash_wrappers.c provides thin redirection
layer for the hardware accelerated MD implementations that rely on the
old API.
The TESTS/mbedtls/multi/main.cpp has been changed to use the new API
as its build environment does not rely on the translation unit
containing the necessary wrappers.
A call to
`TCPSocket::recv(void *data, nsapi_size_t size)`
returns, following the mbed documentation, the number of received bytes on
success, and a negative error code on failure.
So in case of success, the return value depends on both the value of parameter
`size` but also on the amount of data already available. This means, that the
value returned can be lower than or equal to the `size` of the `data` buffer
passed as argument to the call.
Therefore, in the cases of `test_tcp_hello_world()` & `find_substring()`
(i.e. test `socket_sigio`), the calls to `TCPSocket::recv()` might return from
one byte up to `sizeof(buffer) - 1` (i.e. 511) bytes for each single call,
while the tests expect to receive the whole response string with a single call.
This commit applies a fix to this situation by implementing a receive loop
which exits once there is no data anymore available to be read from the socket.
test_case_2x_callbacks test was redesigned to eliminate ticker rescheduling and improve time mesure accuracy.
Constant ticker rescheduling (detach()/attach_us() calls)
was causing the gap between consecutive callback calls was not exact 1ms
but 1ms + time needed to call the callback and attach new one.
New design just uses two tickers to update counter alternatively every 1ms without rescheduling them
This commit fixes ticker cross-schedule bug in test_case_2x_callbacks subtest
In effect of this bug:
ticker_callback_1_switch_to_2 was called only once
ticker2 was never been fired because it was repeatedly detached just before fire and attached again
