For the caller there should be no difference if there is no message
in the queue and if there can't be a message in the queue.
The current API works as one would expect if there is a message queue,
but once called from a thread that does not have a message queue
configured, code that does
while (msg_avail())
will end up in an infinite loop.
Remove this foot-gun from the API by making the return value of
msg_avail() independend of the availability of a message queue.
`WITHOUT_PEDANTIC(expr)` disables `-Wpedantic` for `expr`, but switches
back to the previous diagnostic settings afterwards. This helps defining
macros that are not strictly ISO compliant without having to drop the
`-Wpedantic` flag entirely.
`DECLARE_CONSTANT(identifier, const_expr)` declares an anonymous `enum`
constant named `identifier` and assigns it the value `const_expr`. Here,
`const_expr` has to be a compile time constant, but is not needed to be
an integer constant expression. It basically is a tool to magically
convert a non-integer constant expression into a integer constant
expression.
Calculate the size of the element based on the array given, not based
on the element pointer.
The element might as well be given as a `void *` via a callback.
In that case, if the user forgets to cast the `void *` to the array
element type, the calculation returns false values.
Disarm this foot gun by basing the element size off the given array.
This prevents gcc from figuring out that an XFA that has been
initialized in the same file is technically empty when the compilation
unit is seen by itself. This happened with gcc 10.1.0 on msp430-elf.
Due to limited compatibility with C, we cannot use the inline mutex_trylock
implementation for C++. Instead, we provide a mutex_trylock_ffi() intended for
foreign function interfaces. This should also benefit rust users.
Add a version of `mutex_lock()` that can be canceled with the obvious name
`mutex_lock_cancelable()`. This function returns `0` on success, and
`-ECANCELED` when the calling thread was unblocked via a call to
`mutex_cancel()` (and hence without obtaining the mutex).
This is intended to simplify the implementation of `xtimer_mutex_lock_timeout()`
and to implement `ztimer_mutex_lock_timeout()`.
- Split out handling of the blocking code path of mutex_lock() into a static
`_block()` function. This improves readability a bit and will ease review of
a follow up PR.
- Return `void` instead of `int`.
- Use static inline function for `mutex_try_lock()`
- The implementation is trivial enough with the inline-able IRQ API to just
always be inline-ed
- Rename `_mutex_lock()` to `mutex_lock()` and drop the blocking parameter
- This was possible to the stand-alone `mutex_try_lock()` implementation
- This yields a measurable performance bump
Currently it is not possible to check if a message was sent over a bus
or if it was send the usual way using `msg_send()`.
This adds a flag to the `sender_pid` if the message was sent over a bus.
`MAXTHREADS` is currently set to 32, so there is still plenty of room in
the PID space. (`kernel_pid_t` is `int16_t`)
The message type for bus message type is already accessed through a getter
function, so it's just consistent to do the same for sender_pid.
container_of() is safe to use in regard to alignment requirements, when used
correctly. Using `uintptr_t` instead of `char *` for applying the offset results
in -Wcast-align not complaining.
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.
Allocate and initialize a thread-local block for each thread at the
top of the stack.
Set the tls base when switching to a new thread.

- Add `byteorder_bebuftohll()` to read an 64 bit value from a big endian buffer
- Add `byteorder_htobebufll()` to write an 64 bit value into a big endian buffer
Replace accesses to `sched_active_thread`, `sched_active_pid`, and
`sched_threads` with `thread_get_active()`, `thread_get_active_pid()`, and
`thread_get_unchecked()` where sensible.
- Add `thread_get_active()` to access the TCB
- Add `thread_get_unchecked()` as fast alternative to `thread_get()`
- Drop `volatile` qualifier in `thread_get()`
- Right now every caller of this function does this. It is better to
contain this undefined behavior to at least one place in code
The `clz` instruction pretty much implements getting the most significant bit
in hardware, so use it instead of the software implementation.
This reults in both a reduction in code size as in a speedup:

Big endian buffers on big endian systems are already in big endian byte order,
so no byte shuffling is needed. However, byte buffers might be unaligned, so
copy operations that are safe with unaligned memory accesses need to be
used.
It can be desirable to not have the boot message printed each time
(e.g. logs are transferred over a wireless link on battery) while
still retaining the ability to receive INFO level logs.
This adds the option to disable the boot-up message (and also to customize
it if that is desireable).
