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
This changes the configuration macro to be the exponent of 2^n, as the
mbox buffer size needs to be always power of 2. The macro now has the
GNRC prefix.
Also a compile configuration documentation group is created.
The termination condition implemented in gnrc_pktbuf_malloc does not
work when using the sock interface as sock copies packet data to a local
buffer and frees the packet afterwards. As such, the fuzzing application
would exit before performing any input processing.
For this reason, the termination condition in gnrc_pktbuf_malloc is
disabled when using sock. Instead, the application terminates if
gnrc_sock_recv previously returned the fuzzing packet. The underlying
assumption of this implementation is that gnrc_sock_recv is called in a
loop.
As analyzed in #12678 there are cases where different reports can be
generated for the different snips of the packet send via the `sock`.
To catch all errors generated by the stack, the sock has to subscribe
for all snips of the packet sent. If any of the snips reports an error
distinct from `GNRC_NETERR_SUCCESS` or the previous one, we report that
status instead of just the first we receive. This way we are ensured to
have the first error reported by the stack for the given packet.
sock_[udp|ip]_recv returns `pkt->size` after pkt was released via `gnrc_pktbuf_release(pkt)`.
This can result in wrong values returned by this functions and thus is not according to its sepecification.
Storing this values before releasing pkt returning the stored values should fix this.
gnrc_sock_recv used to duplicate functionality of gnrc_ipv6_get_header,
but additionally checked whether the IPv6 snip is large enough.
All checks are now included in gnrc_ipv6_get_header, but as most of them
stem from programming / user errors, they were moved into asserts; this
constitutes an API change.
gnrc_sock currently does not compile with `gnrc_neterr` included, since
both `msg_try_receive()` and `msg_try_send()` expect a *pointer* to a
`msg_t`, not a `msg_t`.
To test, just compile an application using `gnrc_sock` (e.g.
`examples/gcoap`) with `USEMODULE+=gnrc_neterr`.
