Separate thread names from DEVELHELP so thread names can be
enabled in non-development/debug builds when required/desired.
THREAD_NAMES will be enabled by default then DEVELHELP is set to 1.
Replace direct accesses to sched_active_thread and sched_active_pid with
the helper functions thread_getpid() and thread_get_active(). This serves
two purposes:
1. It makes accidental writes to those variable from outside core less likely.
2. Casting off the volatile qualifier is now well contained to those two
functions
The mapping from thread state codes to a human readable string in the
PS modules has to be maintained manually. There is a very real possibility
for it to get out of sync with the actual defined states, which would cause
a crash when a lookup with an out of bounds index is performed. Also, because
of the way the array is defined, there could be gaps (which will be filled by
nulls).
This patch replaces the array looukup by a function that checks bounds and
also triggers an assertion so that the issue can be caught during development.
- 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
The macro MODULE_TLSF_MALLOC indicates if tlsf is being used as the system-wide
allocator. MODULE_TLSF only incates if TLSF is present.
PS should check for MODULE_TLSF_MALLOC to decide if heap information should be
displayed.
This adds support for the recently introduced thread flags mechanism to
the `ps` module; while previously it would show a thread in state
"(null)" when it is blocked on thread_flags_wait_any or
thread_flags_wait_all, it now shoes the state "bl anyfl" or "bl allfl",
respectively. The labels are kept that short to not mess with the
fixed-width layout.
`tcp_t::stack_size` is only examined by the shell command `ps` and
`DEBUG_PRINT`. For the latter one only if `DEVELHELP` was enabled.
This PR guards the member `tcp_t::stack_size` in `#ifdef DEVELHELP`.
Only if DEVELHELP was activated its value get printed by `ps`.
Closes#1287.
Instead of using differing integer types use kernel_pid_t for process
identifier. This type is introduced in a new header file to avoid
circular dependencies.
