References port_unlock_from_isr.

void PendSVVector ( void  )

PendSV vector.

References chSchIsPreemptionRequired(), and port_lock_from_isr.

Here is the call graph for this function:

void port_halt ( void  )

Halts the system.

This function is invoked by the operating system when an unrecoverable error is detected (for example because a programming error in the application code that triggers an assertion while in debug mode).

Note:
The function is declared as a weak symbol, it is possible to redefine it in your application code.

Definition at line 114 of file kernel/templates/chcore.c.

void _port_switch_from_isr ( void  )

Post-IRQ switch code.

The switch is performed in thread context then an NMI exception is enforced in order to return to the exact point before the preemption.

Exception handlers return here for context switching.

Definition at line 134 of file GCC/ARMCMx/chcore_v6m.c.

void _port_switch ( Thread ntp,
Thread otp 
)

Performs a context switch between two threads.

This is the most critical code in any port, this function is responsible for the context switch between 2 threads.

Note:
The implementation of this code affects directly the context switch performance so optimize here as much as you can.
Parameters:
[in]ntpthe thread to be switched in
[in]otpthe thread to be switched out

Definition at line 165 of file GCC/ARMCMx/chcore_v6m.c.

void _port_thread_start ( void  )

Thread start code.

Thread start code.

If the work function returns chThdExit() is automatically invoked.

Definition at line 51 of file ports/cosmic/STM8/chcore.c.


Define Documentation

#define CORTEX_PRIORITY_PENDSV   0

PendSV priority level.

Note:
This priority is enforced to be equal to 0, this handler always has the highest priority that cannot preempt the kernel.

Definition at line 42 of file IAR/ARMCMx/chcore_v6m.h.

#define PORT_IDLE_THREAD_STACK_SIZE   16

Stack size for the system idle thread.

This size depends on the idle thread implementation, usually the idle thread should take no more space than those reserved by PORT_INT_REQUIRED_STACK.

Note:
In this port it is set to 16 because the idle thread does have a stack frame when compiling without optimizations. You may reduce this value to zero when compiling with optimizations.

Definition at line 62 of file IAR/ARMCMx/chcore_v6m.h.

#define PORT_INT_REQUIRED_STACK   32

Per-thread stack overhead for interrupts servicing.

This constant is used in the calculation of the correct working area size.

Note:
In this port this value is conservatively set to 32 because the function chSchDoReschedule() can have a stack frame, especially with compiler optimizations disabled. The value can be reduced when compiler optimizations are enabled.

Definition at line 75 of file IAR/ARMCMx/chcore_v6m.h.

#define CORTEX_ENABLE_WFI_IDLE   FALSE

Enables the use of the WFI instruction in the idle thread loop.

Definition at line 82 of file IAR/ARMCMx/chcore_v6m.h.

#define CORTEX_PRIORITY_SYSTICK   (CORTEX_PRIORITY_LEVELS >> 1)

Note:
The default SYSTICK handler priority is calculated as the priority level in the middle of the numeric priorities range.

Definition at line 91 of file IAR/ARMCMx/chcore_v6m.h.

#define CORTEX_ALTERNATE_SWITCH   FALSE

Alternate preemption method.

Activating this option will make the Kernel use the PendSV handler for preemption instead of the NMI handler.
