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.
- adopt test name to new scheme
- make cppcheck happy / dont overwrite the target memory location twice
- fix license header
- don't redefine define if it already exists
- don't write more cpuid than is defined as size
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.
When using socket stdio, add option to replay what has been written to
stdout while not connected (`-r`).
The implementation is to simply use the existing log file (which is
implicitly created when the option is used), and read from it until
EOF upon reconnect.
closes#476
Currrently native overrides the object file targets, because it needs
the different include paths to interact with libc and the OS.
This PR simplifies their makefiles to only override the variable
INCLUDES, instead of overriding the targets.
Real IEEE 802.15.4 transceivers have a payload of 127. Hence, for
testing - particular 6lowpan - it would make sense to have the same
limitation in nativenet. Especially to test fragmentation this is
helpful.
