This is intended for the bootloader module where we don't enter thread
mode, so mutex must never attempt to switch context.
Instead use a simple busy wait that is enough to make the possible mutex
users (e.g. interrupt based SPI) in bootloader mode work.
bitarithm.h is not needed for the interface of shed but may cause conflicts
due to different definitions of SETBIT and CLRBIT
common implementations are: (value, offset) xor (value, mask) bitarithm
implements the later
frac.c and nrf52/usbdev.c use bitarithm.h but where missing the include
sam0/rtt.c defined a bit using mask from bitarithm,
changed that to the soulution used in sam0/rtc.c
- add init_schedstatistics function to be called after
auto_init, that way xtimer_is init is called before
the first call to xtimer_now
- register schedstatics code as a callback to be executed
on each sched_run()
- Introduced enum type `thread_state_t` to replace preprocessor macros
- Moved thread states to `sched.h` for two reasons:
a) Because of the interdependencies of `sched.h` and `thread.h` keeping it in
`thread.h` would result in ugly code.
b) Theses thread states are defined from the schedulers point of view, so it
actually makes senses to have it defined there
These headers do not provide full stl functionality,
but a small subset:
* thread and this_thread
* condition_variable (some timed functions are missing)
* mutex, lock_guard and unique_lock
Fixes#1708.
Currently involuntary preemption causes the current thread not only to
yield for a higher prioritized thread, but all other threads of its own
priority class, too.
This PR adds the function `thread_yield_higher()`, which will yield the
current thread in favor of higher prioritized functions, but not for
threads of its own priority class.
Boards now need to implement `thread_yield_higher()` instead of
`thread_yield()`, but `COREIF_NG` boards are not affected in any way.
`thread_yield()` retains its old meaning: yield for every thread that
has the same or a higher priority.
This PR does not touch the occurrences of `thread_yield()` in the periph
drivers, because the author of this PR did not look into the logic of
the various driver implementations.
PR #1000 overlooked to rename `runqueues` into `sched_runqueues` in
`sched.h`. This shows that the variable is not used outside of
`sched.c`.
As the list should not be accessed outside of the scheduler, so it
can be `static`.
