◆ l4_sleep()

void l4_sleep ( int  ms)

Suspend thread for a period of ms milliseconds.

Parameters
msTime in milliseconds

◆ l4_touch_ro()

void l4_touch_ro ( const void *  addr,
unsigned  size 
)
inline

Touch data area to force mapping (read-only)

Parameters
addrStart of memory area to touch.
sizeSize of area to touch.

◆ l4_usleep()

void l4_usleep ( int  us)

Suspend thread for a period of us microseconds.

Parameters
usTime in microseconds

WARNING: This function is mostly bogus since the timer resolution of current L4 implementations is about 1ms!

◆ l4util_micros2l4to()

l4_timeout_s l4util_micros2l4to ( unsigned int  mus)

Calculate l4 timeouts.

Parameters
mustime in microseconds. Special cases:
  • 0 - > timeout 0
  • ~0U -> timeout NEVER
Returns
the corresponding l4_timeout value
Deprecated:
Use l4_timeout_from_us().

◆ l4util_splitlog2_hdl()

long l4util_splitlog2_hdl ( l4_addr_t  start,
l4_addr_t  end,
long(*)(l4_addr_t s, l4_addr_t e, int log2size)  handler 
)
inline

Split a range into log2 base and size aligned chunks.

Parameters
startStart of range
endEnd of range (inclusive) (e.g. 2-4 is len 3)
handlerHandler function that is called with start and end (both inclusive) of the chunk. On success, the handler must return 0, if it returns !=0 the function will immediately return with the return code of the handler.
Returns
0 on success, != 0 otherwise

◆ l4util_splitlog2_size()

l4_addr_t l4util_splitlog2_size ( l4_addr_t  start,
l4_addr_t  end 
)
inline

Return log2 base and size aligned length of a range.

Parameters
startStart of range
endEnd of range (inclusive) (e.g. 2-4 is len 3)
Returns
length of elements in log2size (length is 1 << log2size)
