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
The current 0.1% clock tolerance is too small for certain platforms
which natural variance is larger than this. This commit increases the
tolerance to 0.5% instead.

Notice the outliers will cause intermittent CI failures.
For each of the following years test example time of the first and last day of each month:
- first - 1970
- example not leap year (not divisible by 4)
- example leap year (divisible by 4 and by 100 and by 400)
- example leap year (divisible by 4 and not by 100)
- example not leap year (divisible by 4 and by 100)
- last fully supported - 2105
Test execution time on K64F is now ~39 sec.
In pararell threads of "thread" test is a simple thread, but it seems that there is a difference in the stack used between Cortex-A and Cortex-M.
As a result of check, in Cortex-A, program aborts because of the lack of stack when PARALLEL_THREAD_STACK_SIZE is 384, workes properly when PARALLEL_THREAD_STACK_SIZE is 512 at least.
"malloc" test is used a simple thread that executes only malloc and free, but it seems that there is a difference in the stack used between Cortex-A and Cortex-M.
As a result of check, in Cortex-A, program aborts because of the lack of stack when THREAD_STACK_SIZE is 256, workes properly when THREAD_STACK_SIZE is 512 at least. Since it seems that the definition processing of "DEFAULT_STACK_SIZE" was gone from Mbed OS by updating CMSIS5/RTX5, I setted 512 directly for Cortex-A.
Most of our IP stacks don't allow removal of interfaces so
interface destructor can not reliably clean up. Therefore we
cannot rely its behaviours in test case.
Instead run interface->disconnect() in case interface was already
created.
HTTP_SERVER_NAME and HTTP_SERVER_FILE_PATH are replaced by
MBED_CONF_APP_HTTP_SERVER_NAME and MBED_CONF_APP_HTTP_SERVER_FILE_PATH
to allow user to make local tests
Test on HTTP connect added as test was always OK even with no connection...
HTTP_SERVER_NAME and HTTP_SERVER_FILE_PATH are replaced by
MBED_CONF_APP_HTTP_SERVER_NAME and MBED_CONF_APP_HTTP_SERVER_FILE_PATH
to allow user to make local tests
UUID lines are removed as they were not used
default case:
If MBED_CONF_APP_ECHO_SERVER_ADDR and MBED_CONF_APP_ECHO_SERVER_PORT are not defined
test is using Greentea to get server information (code before OS 5.6.1 version)
TCP_ECHO_PREFIX is no more a mandatory step
UUID lines are removed as they were not used
default case:
If MBED_CONF_APP_ECHO_SERVER_ADDR and MBED_CONF_APP_ECHO_SERVER_PORT are not defined
test is using Greentea to get server information (code before OS 5.6.1 version)
The test for construction of local static objects doesn't check
to see if the object returned has been fully initialized. Because
of this, an error with ARMCC was not detected.
This patch adds an assert to the race_test to ensure that the
object has been properly initialized.
LowPoterTimer test gives sometimes failed result while testing measured time accumulation. The check which verifies if total number of elapsed milliseconds is valid fails. Test assumes that delta value equal to 1 ms is sufficient for all test cases, which is not true since in case where time measurement is performed few times in sequence the measurement error also accumulates and 1 ms might be not enough. To solve this problem delta value for milliseconds tests must be updated.
1) if we receive more than one __sync, previous handshake would consider
it as echo_count and try to decode the value. Now we skip superfluous __sync.
2) reduce the uart load produced by the test, as we are heavily running tests in
parallel and not one-to-one this update was required.
Allow tickers to specify their native frequency and number of bits.
This allows the conversion to happen in common code rather than in
each vendor's implementation.
In test_case_2x_callbacks two tickers are setup to repeatedly
reschedule each other. When these tickers are deleted this
rescheduling is still occurring and can lead to a deleted ticker
being scheduled.
When this happens the following error message is displayed:
Thread 0x0 error -6: Not allowed in ISR context
Note - this problem was not detected by CI since the test reported
the correct results back to the host test and only experienced this
error on tear down.
This problem can be reproduced on an nrf51 by first building the ticker
test with:
"mbed test -t GCC_ARM -m NRF51_DK -n tests-mbed_drivers-ticker
--compile -DMBED_TRAP_ERRORS_ENABLED=1
-DMBED_HEAP_STATS_ENABLED=1 -DMBED_STACK_STATS_ENABLED=1"
And then running testing with:
"mbed test -t GCC_ARM -m NRF51_DK -n tests-mbed_drivers-ticker --run"
This commit reverts commit c1c0f1ea57
because it causes nightly builds to fail. This is because extra tests
added in tests-mbed_drivers-ticker fail on some targets, such as the
KL46Z, MAX32625MBED, MAX32630FTHR, NCS36510, NRF51 and NRF52_DK.
Remove the direct use of the microsecond and low power ticker from
the tests. This enforces that sleep mode is properly locked when
using timers. Furthermore, this prepares the codebase for new ticker
changes which allow differing clock frequencies and timer bit widths.
The lp_ticker test overrides the default ticker handler for the
low power ticker. This stops all other low power TimerEvents in the
system, including the ones for tickless, from getting called. Because
of this devices with tickless enabled malfunction during this test.
This patch fixes this problem by passing all lp ticker events it did
not trigger on to the TimerEvent irq handler.
Increase the Timeout period from 1ms to 10ms so interrupt latency has
1/10th the effect on the measurement. This prevents failures due to
interrupt latency causing a drift.
In case the target supports a page size of 1 byte, i.e. is able to
program flash 1 byte at a time, which is the case of STM32 F4 targets,
there is no reason for flash_device.program to return an error when
trying to write on an "unaligned" address.
This test exercises ticker API
- init should be executed just once
- read timestamp
Set interrupt should be tested via upper layer, as it does not provide
API to change handler that is invoked in the ISR ticker handler.
The test assumed that data written to flash would be memory mapped
and directly accessible. On some platform this is not the case
and data has to read back through an explicit read command.
The test has been changed to use the flash read command instead
of direct memory access.
2 test cases added, one for event in the past, one for event in future but very close
to the current time, thus once is set, it is already in the past, and we fire
interrupt immediately.
