Hi Adam and L4 community
I've been testing somethings on the Odroid-X2(Exynos4412). It seems
that the IRQ handler only handles the first IRQ and disables the
IRQs. I have added the following code to check the IRQs in the
function Kernel_thread::bootstrap() in the file
src/kernel/fiasco/src/kern/kernel_thread.cpp
Per_cpu_data::run_late_ctors(Cpu::invalid());
bootstrap_arch();
Timer_tick::enable(current_cpu());
Proc::sti();
++ Proc::Status st = Proc::interrupts();
++ if(st & Proc::Status_interrupts_disabled)
++ printf("IRQs are enabled\n");
++ else
++ printf("IRQs are disabled\n");
Watchdog::enable();
I'm trying to check that the IRQs are enabled. The Proc::sti() must
activate the IRQs in the CPSR registers, and Proc::interrupts() must
return if the interrupts are enabled, but always i'm getting "IRQs
are disabled". I have tested the hardware with a Linux kernel and
it's working fine. I have tested "CPSIE i" and "CPSIE f" to enable
the interrupts and get the same result.
I have incremented the warn level on Fiasco.OC, i'm getting:
KERNEL: Warning Buddy:alloc Size mismatch: a80 v 1000
I have also tested the local timers on the Exynos4412. The local
timer at CPU0 is working fine. It has been configured to auto-reload
with 12000 as interval. The local counter decrements the value and
reload when arrives zero, but don't raises the interrupt.
To test the interrupts have created an small buffer to store the
Kip::k()->clock on every interrupt. I have used the buffer to
avoid the call of an interrupt inside another interrupt. I have
tried to print the values on the function Delay::mesaure(), but it
only stores one value. The same thing happens if I use a interrupt
counter.
Now i'm trying to check the IRQ handler caller, from the general
mechanism to the specific interrupt handler, to catch the point
where the IRQs are been disabled.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Best regards
