Right now the core component `clist` is a generic cyclic doubly-linked list.
In the core it is used in `tcb_t::rq_entry`.
Further it is used `net_if.c`.
This commit removes the member `clist_node_t::data` which stored the
pointer to the `tcb_t` instance of which the clist is already a member.
The needless member added `sizeof (int)` bytes to every instance of
`tcb_t`.
In `net_if.c` the clist was used in a type-punned way, so that the
change won't affect it.
Some Travis CI machines have 32 CPUs. This sets our concurrency level to 33.
Travis CI kills our buildtest for obvious reasons.
This PR limits the concurrency level to 8 on Travis CI.
With many open PRs that could benefit from loading SDKs when needed,
instead adding vast amounts of code to RIOTs master, this PR provides
the "functions" `$(DOWNLOAD_TO_STDOUT)`, `$(DOWNLOAD_TO_FILE)`, and
`$(UNZIP_HERE)`.
The first "function" takes one argument, the URL from where to download
the content. It is then piped to stdout. To be used e.g. with `tar xz`.
The second "function" taken two arguments, the destination file name,
and the source URL. If the previous invocation was interrupted, then the
download gets continued, if possible.
The last "function" takes one argument, the source ZIP file. The file
gets extracted into the cwd, so best use this "function" with
`cd $(SOME_WHERE) &&`.
The clumsy name `$(UNZIP_HERE)` is taken because the program "unzip"
takes the environment variable `UNZIP` as the source file, even if
another file name was given on the command line. The rationale for that
is that the hackers of "unzip" hate their users. Also they sacrifice
hamsters to Satan.
Closes#1399.
> Using a different value for SCHED_PRIO_LEVELS for 16 and 32 bit
platforms hurts portability, one thing that we heavily advertise about
RIOT. if you want to write a portable application, then you have to
assume the lower value.
This PR defaults `SCHED_PRIO_LEVELS` to 16 for every board.
In many places we needlessly use `sched_active_thread->pid` whilst we
already have `sched_active_pid` with the same value, and one less
indirection.
`thread_getpid()` is made `static inline` so that there is no penalty in
using this function over accessing `sched_active_pid` directly.
