liblitmus.git/src, branch 2012.2

API Update: Support arbitrary deadlines.

2012-08-01T06:46:21+00:00

Updated APIs to support arbitrary deadlines. Added macros for implicit
deadlines.

Note: Had to tweak Makefile to support gcc version >= 4.6 (moved -lrt to the
end of the link command).

P-FP: make PCP available to user space

2012-05-31T20:23:38+00:00

      PCP was only used for DPCP before

tests: add some basic tests for PCP under P-FP

P-FP: port P-FP plugin used in B. Brandenburg's

2012-05-31T20:23:12+00:00

      dissertation (branch bbb-diss)

      I took the unchanged code but removed references
      to OMLP which was and is not implemented

tests: changed so that they work for P-FP

Switch to new np-section protocol.

2011-11-24T19:48:23+00:00

Everything is in one 32-bit word now.

update headers

2011-11-24T19:48:23+00:00

we need uint64_t in litmus.h

switch to generic locking system calls

2011-02-03T22:40:16+00:00

The new generic lock layer in LITMUS^RT does away with per-protocol
system calls. Change accordingly.

Export wctime() and cputime() from rtspin to library clients

2011-02-03T22:40:16+00:00

The timing functions are quite handy when building benchmark tasks.
Avoid copy&paste reuse by making them available via the library.

remove asm/atomic.h

2010-11-09T21:35:33+00:00

For historic resons, we carry old atomic operations support in
liblitmus. This is no longer useful:
1) There is actually no client for these calls in liblitmus.
2) There is now a standard gcc API for this purpose.

	http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Atomic-Builtins.html

Thus, we can reduce our maintenance burden.

refactor: remove all architecture-dependent code from include/

2010-11-09T21:35:33+00:00

Move the architecture-dependent code to the arch/ subtree.

avoid including header files directly

2010-11-09T21:35:32+00:00

The kernel warns against including header files directly. For good
reason: our previous approach (just -I$KERNEL/include) caused all
kinds of files to be included that should have come from /usr/include
instead.

This patch rewrites the Makfile so that the (few) needed headers are
copied into the liblitmus src tree before compiling the library. This
avoids having to specify the kernel include directories with -I, and
also makes it easier to link against liblitmus (external applications
do not need to know where the kernel is).

Finally, this allows us to enable -Werror.
