Damien George e098eac195 cc3200: Start the simplelink spawn task using the static task creator.
In VStartSimpleLinkSpawnTask we change xTaskCreate to xTaskCreateStatic
so that the task is created using statically allocated memory for the TCB
and stack.

This means that xTaskCreate function is no longer needed (the static
version is now used exclusively).

Damien George 5b8e884573 cc3200: Remove .boot section attribute from osi_TaskCreate function.
This function is no longer used.  Having the .boot section attribute
meant that it was included in the firmware regargless of use.  Without
this attribute the linker can remove the function.

Damien George 1d5aa9d245 cc3200: In FreeRTOSConfig.h, comment on configSUPPORT_STATIC_ALLOCATION.
This config variable is now needed regardless of whether threading is
enabled or not.

Damien George fa2ac93c3a cc3200/mpthreadport: Move mem alloc outside the thread_mutex lock.
Otherwise there could be a deadlock, with the GC's mutex and
thread_mutex.

Damien George 757146efe3 cc3200/mpthreadport: Scan more root pointers from thread data. 2016-06-28 11:28:52 +01:00
Damien George 17886828c8 cc3200/gccollect: Use MP_STATE_THREAD(stack_top) to get top of stack. 2016-06-28 11:28:52 +01:00
Damien George 3b0fbfe4e5 cc3200/mpthreadport: Properly initialise the main thread's data. 2016-06-28 11:28:52 +01:00
Damien George 27241293c4 cc3200/mpthreadport: Make mutex statically allocated.
Reduced the need for the FreeRTOS heap to allocate the mutex.

Damien George 0455755296 cc3200: Use xTaskCreateStatic instead of osi_TaskCreate.
This allows to statically allocate the TCB (thread control block) and
thread stack in the BSS segment, reducing the need for dynamic memory
allocation.

Damien George 77e37ff98b py/mpthread: Include mpstate.h when defining GIL macros. 2016-06-28 11:28:52 +01:00

Damien George 94238d4ae5 py/nlrsetjmp: Update to take into account new location of nlr_top.
It's now accessed via the MP_STATE_THREAD macro.

Damien George 1df4168c33 py/nlrthumb: Convert NLR thumb funcs from asm to C with inline-asm.
Now only the bits that really need to be written in assembler are written
in it, otherwise C is used.  This means that the assembler code no longer
needs to know about the global state structure which makes it much easier
to maintain.

Damien George c9520c591b cc3200: Fix call to new exception to be _msg instead of _arg1. 2016-06-28 11:28:51 +01:00
Damien George df95f52583 py/modthread: Allow to properly set the stack limit of a thread.
We rely on the port setting and adjusting the stack size so there is
enough room to recover from hitting the stack limit.

Damien George eef4f13a33 cc3200: Add basic threading capabilities.
Can create a new thread and run it.  Does not use the GIL at this point.

Damien George 9b1c1262dc cc3200: Define our own FreeRTOS heap so it can go in a special segment. 2016-06-28 11:28:50 +01:00
Damien George 5c0fc73f33 cc3200: Update FreeRTOS to v9.0.0.
This is a pristine copy (actually a subset of files) of upstream FreeRTOS
v9.0.0.

Modifications to the previous version of FreeRTOS (v8.1.2) included
addition of __attribute__ ((section (".boot"))) to the following
functions:

    pxPortInitialiseStack
    prvTaskExitError
    prvPortStartFirstTask
    xPortStartScheduler
    vPortSetupTimerInterrupt
    xTaskGenericCreate
    vTaskStartScheduler
    prvInitialiseTCBVariables
    prvInitialiseTaskLists
    prvAllocateTCBAndStack

This attribute will need to be reinstated on a case-by-case basis
because some of the above functions are now removed/changed.

Damien George e90b6ce0b5 py/mpthread.h: Move GIL macros outside MICROPY_PY_THREAD block.
The GIL macros are needed even if threading is not enabled.

Damien George 94d2919b77 unix/modtime: Release the GIL when sleeping. 2016-06-28 11:28:50 +01:00
Damien George c567afc5fa py/modthread: Make Lock objects work when GIL is enabled. 2016-06-28 11:28:50 +01:00
Damien George a1c93a62b1 py: Don't use gc or qstr mutex when the GIL is enabled.
There is no need since the GIL already makes gc and qstr operations
atomic.

Damien George 4cec63a9db py: Implement a simple global interpreter lock.
This makes the VM/runtime thread safe, at the cost of not being able to
run code in parallel.

Damien George 2e4cdae4fd tests/thread: Add test for concurrent interning of strings.
Qstr code accesses global state and needs to be made thread safe.

Damien George 094a0dd11a tests/thread: Add tests that mutate shared objects.

Damien George c2508ac8bd unix/mpthreadport: Use SA_SIGINFO for GC signal handler.
SA_SIGINFO allows the signal handler to access more information about
the signal, especially useful in a threaded environment.  The extra
information is not currently used but it may prove useful in the future.

Damien George 3653f5144a py/gc: Fix GC+thread bug where ptr gets lost because it's not computed.
GC_EXIT() can cause a pending thread (waiting on the mutex) to be
scheduled right away.  This other thread may trigger a garbage
collection.  If the pointer to the newly-allocated block (allocated by
the original thread) is not computed before the switch (so it's just left
as a block number) then the block will be wrongly reclaimed.

This patch makes sure the pointer is computed before allowing any thread
switch to occur.

Damien George dbd54e0b5b unix: Implement garbage collection with threading.
This patch allows any given thread to do a proper garbage collection and
scan all the pointers of all active threads.

Damien George 9172c0cb25 py/modthread: Call mp_thread_start/mp_thread_finish around threads.
So the underlying thread implementation can do any necessary bookkeeping.

Damien George f1b6db2218 unix/file: If write syscall returns because of EINTR then try again.
As per PEP-475.

Damien George dcc7c5bd89 tests/thread: Add tests for running GC within a thread, and heap stress. 2016-06-28 11:28:49 +01:00
Damien George c93d9caa8b py/gc: Make memory manager and garbage collector thread safe.
By using a single, global mutex, all memory-related functions (alloc,
free, realloc, collect, etc) are made thread safe.  This means that only
one thread can be in such a function at any one time.
