[PATCH] c-user: Generate signal manager documentation

Sebastian Huber sebastian.huber at embedded-brains.de
Wed Feb 17 19:24:46 UTC 2021


The documentation is a consolidation of the comments in Doxygen markup
and the documentation sources in Sphinx markup.  The documentation was
transfered to interface specification items.  The documentation source
files were generated from the items by a script.

Update #3993.

-SIGNAL_CATCH - Establish an ASR
--------------------------------
-
-CALLING SEQUENCE:
-    .. code-block:: c
-
-        rtems_status_code rtems_signal_catch(
-            rtems_asr_entry  asr_handler,

-DIRECTIVE STATUS CODES:
-    .. list-table::
-     :class: rtems-table
-
-     * - ``RTEMS_SUCCESSFUL``
-       - always successful
-
-DESCRIPTION:
-    This directive establishes an asynchronous signal routine (ASR) for the
-    calling task.  The asr_handler parameter specifies the entry point of the
-    ASR.  If asr_handler is NULL, the ASR for the calling task is invalidated
-    and all pending signals are cleared.  Any signals sent to a task with an
-    invalid ASR are discarded.  The mode parameter specifies the execution mode
-    for the ASR.  This execution mode supersedes the task's execution mode
-    while the ASR is executing.
-
-NOTES:
-    This directive will not cause the calling task to be preempted.
-
-    The following task mode constants are defined by RTEMS:
-
-    .. list-table::
-     :class: rtems-table
-
-     * - ``RTEMS_PREEMPT``
-       - is masked by ``RTEMS_PREEMPT_MASK`` and enables preemption
-     * - ``RTEMS_NO_PREEMPT``
-       - is masked by ``RTEMS_PREEMPT_MASK`` and disables preemption
-     * - ``RTEMS_NO_TIMESLICE``
-       - is masked by ``RTEMS_TIMESLICE_MASK`` and disables timeslicing
-     * - ``RTEMS_TIMESLICE``
-       - is masked by ``RTEMS_TIMESLICE_MASK`` and enables timeslicing
-     * - ``RTEMS_ASR``
-       - is masked by ``RTEMS_ASR_MASK`` and enables ASR processing
-     * - ``RTEMS_NO_ASR``
-       - is masked by ``RTEMS_ASR_MASK`` and disables ASR processing
-     * - ``RTEMS_INTERRUPT_LEVEL(0)``
-       - is masked by ``RTEMS_INTERRUPT_MASK`` and enables all interrupts
-     * - ``RTEMS_INTERRUPT_LEVEL(n)``
-       - is masked by ``RTEMS_INTERRUPT_MASK`` and sets interrupts level n

+      rtems_asr_entry asr_handler,
+      rtems_mode      mode_set
+    );
+
+.. rubric:: PARAMETERS:
+
+``asr_handler``
+    This parameter is the handler to process an asynchronous signal set.
+
+``mode_set``
+    This parameter is the task mode while an asynchronous signal set is
+    processed by the handler.  See :ref:`InterfaceRtemsTaskMode`.
+
+.. rubric:: DESCRIPTION:
+
+This directive establishes an asynchronous signal routine (ASR) for the calling
+task.  The ``asr_handler`` parameter specifies the entry point of the ASR.  A
+task may have at most one handler installed at a time.  The most recently
+installed handler is used.  When ``asr_handler`` is `NULL
+<https://en.cppreference.com/w/c/types/NULL>`_, the ASR for the calling task is
+invalidated and all pending signals are cleared.  Any signals sent to a task
+with an invalid ASR are discarded.  The ``mode_set`` parameter specifies the
+execution mode for the ASR.  This execution mode supersedes the task's
+execution mode while the ASR is executing.
+
+.. rubric:: RETURN VALUES:
+
+:c:macro:`RTEMS_SUCCESSFUL`
+    The requested operation was successful.
+
+:c:macro:`RTEMS_NOT_IMPLEMENTED`
+    The :c:macro:`RTEMS_NO_PREEMPT` was set in ``mode_set`` and the system
+    configuration had no implementation for this mode.
+
+:c:macro:`RTEMS_NOT_IMPLEMENTED`
+    The :c:func:`RTEMS_INTERRUPT_LEVEL` was set to a positive level in
+    ``mode_set`` and the system configuration had no implementation for this
+    mode.
+
+.. rubric:: NOTES:
+
+It is strongly recommended to disable ASR processing during ASR processing by
+setting :c:macro:`RTEMS_NO_ASR` in ``mode_set``, otherwise a recursion may
+happen during ASR processing.  Uncontrolled recursion may lead to stack
+overflows.
+
+Using the same mutex (in particular a recursive mutex) in normal task context
+and during ASR processing may result in undefined behaviour.
+
+Asynchronous signal handlers can access thread-local storage (:term:`TLS`).
+When thread-local storage is shared between normal task context and ASR
+processing, it may be protected by disabled interrupts.
+
+.. rubric:: CONSTRAINTS:
+
+The following constraints apply to this directive:
+
+* The directive may be called from within task context.
+
+* The directive will not cause the calling task to be preempted.

-     * - ``RTEMS_INVALID_NUMBER``
-       - empty signal set
-     * - ``RTEMS_NOT_DEFINED``
-       - ASR invalid
-
-DESCRIPTION:
-    This directive sends a signal set to the task specified in id.  The
-    signal_set parameter contains the signal set to be sent to the task.
-
-    If a caller sends a signal set to a task with an invalid ASR, then an error
-    code is returned to the caller.  If a caller sends a signal set to a task
-    whose ASR is valid but disabled, then the signal set will be caught and
-    left pending for the ASR to process when it is enabled. If a caller sends a
-    signal set to a task with an ASR that is both valid and enabled, then the
-    signal set is caught and the ASR will execute the next time the task is
-    dispatched to run.
-
-NOTES:
-    Sending a signal set to a task has no effect on that task's state.  If a
-    signal set is sent to a blocked task, then the task will remain blocked and
-    the signals will be processed when the task becomes the running task.
-
-    Sending a signal set to a global task which does not reside on the local
-    node will generate a request telling the remote node to send the signal set
-    to the specified task.

+      rtems_id         id,

+    );
+
+.. rubric:: PARAMETERS:
+
+``id``
+    This parameter is the identifier of the target task to receive the signal
+    set.
+
+``signal_set``
+    This parameter is the signal set to send.
+
+.. rubric:: DESCRIPTION:
+
+This directive sends the signal set, ``signal_set``, to the target task
+identified by ``id``.
+
+If a caller sends a signal set to a task with an invalid :term:`ASR`, then an
+error code is returned to the caller.  If a caller sends a signal set to a task
+whose ASR is valid but disabled, then the signal set will be caught and left
+pending for the ASR to process when it is enabled.  If a caller sends a signal
+set to a task with an ASR that is both valid and enabled, then the signal set
+is caught and the ASR will execute the next time the task is dispatched to run.
+
+.. rubric:: RETURN VALUES:
+
+:c:macro:`RTEMS_SUCCESSFUL`
+    The requested operation was successful.
+
+:c:macro:`RTEMS_INVALID_NUMBER`
+    The ``signal_set`` parameter was 0.
+
+:c:macro:`RTEMS_INVALID_ID`
+    There was no task associated with the identifier specified by ``id``.
+
+:c:macro:`RTEMS_NOT_DEFINED`
+    The target task had no valid ASR installed.
+
+.. rubric:: NOTES:
+
+Sending a signal set to a task has no effect on that task's state.  If a signal
+set is sent to a blocked task, then the task will remain blocked and the
+signals will be processed when the task becomes the running task.
+
+Sending a signal set to a global task which does not reside on the local node
+will generate a request telling the remote node to send the signal set to the
+specified task.
+
+.. rubric:: CONSTRAINTS:
+
+The following constraints apply to this directive:
+
+* The directive may be called from within interrupt context.
+
+* The directive may be called from within device driver initialization context.
+
+* The directive may be called from within task context.
+
+* When the directive operates on a local object, the directive will not cause
+  the calling task to be preempted.
+
+* When the directive operates on a remote object, the directive sends a message
+  to the remote node and waits for a reply.  This will preempt the calling
+  task.
