This changes the budget/remaining fields in scheduling contexts
to contain timer ticks, not number of abstract sel4ticks.
seL4_SchedControl_Configure now takes microseconds, not ticks.
This commit is plat-independant - the platform and arch specific
timer code follows in later commits.
-Use debuglist for runqueues and filter idle and root thread.
-Refactor sendEPQueue.
-Add multicore support.
-Added TCB_COMMAND, kernel now does translation
depending on how it's configured.
- for arm generic timer platforms, we remove resetTimer ->
resetGenericTimer indirection and simply include generic_timer.h
- this reduces boiler plate for platforms that share timer drivers, as
they simply include the one header
- there is far more timer code in the RT kernel, which motivates this
change
This commit implements the body of SELFOUR-499. The API exposes the x86 DR0-7
and ARM coprocessor 14 features to userspace by virtualizing them as context-
switched registers in the TCB. Implemented as TCB invocations. This feature is
only built when CONFIG_HARDWARE_DEBUG_API is selected.
* Add low-level support routines for setting, unsetting, getting, enabling
and disabling breakpoints.
* Add support for single-stepping as well.
^ Single-stepping is not supported on ARMv6 since the hardware
doesn't have support.
^ ARM implements single-stepping as instruction breakpoints
configured to fault on every instruction -- this is achieved through
the "mismatch" mode, which is only supported from ARMv7 onwards.
* Also support explicit software break requests, a la "BKPT" and "INT $3".
* New invocations:
* seL4_TCB_SetBreakpoint().
* seL4_TCB_GetBreakpoint().
* seL4_TCB_UnsetBreakpoint().
* seL4_TCB_ConfigureSingleStepping().
* New constants:
^ Event types:
^ seL4_InstructionBreakpoint.
^ seL4_DataBreakpoint.
^ seL4_SoftwareBreakRequest.
^ Access types:
^ seL4_BreakOnRead.
^ seL4_BreakOnWrite.
^ seL4_BreakOnReadWrite.
^ Exports:
^ seL4_NumHWBreakpoints.
^ seL4_NumExclusiveBreakpoints.
^ seL4_NumExclusiveWatchpoints.
^ seL4_NumDualFunctionMonitors.
^ seL4_FirstBreakpoint.
^ seL4_FirstWatchpoint.
^ seL4_FirstDualFunctionMonitor.

- separate putDebugChar and putConsoleChar
- this only has effect on x86 where 2 serial ports are initialised by
the kernel
- for arm, putConsoleChar just calls putDebugChar
Originally building the kernel was largely considered to be done in
one of two ways
1. Release build with no assertions, no debug symbols and no printing.
This was generally considered to be a 'verified' build
2. Debug build with assertions, debug symbols and printing
Since then various options were added, such as the 'code injection'
option, which we wanted on builds that did not have assertions or
other options that affected performance. As such it did not depend
upon a debug build and had large warning signs saying that enabling
this in a release build would not give you a verified or trusted
kernel.
Most recently the ability to print from the kernel in release mode
was added. For the same reason that tying the ability to print with
the performance reduction of various debugging was not always desireable.
This change attempts to unify the current state and have a single top
level option to enable a 'verification friendly' build. All other
options (assertions, printing, code injection) then depend upon
this configuration not being set.
