1. No .c file should include a "Public Types" section. Only a header file can define a public type. A .c file can only define a private type. Several files contained private type definitions. The section that they were defined in, however, was incorrectly named "Public Types." Those were easilty changed to "Private Types" which is what they are.
2. No .c file should include a "Public Function Prototypes" section. All global function prototypes should be provided via a header file and never declared with a .c file.
For No. 2, I corrected as many cases as was reasonable for the time that I had available. But there are still a dozen or so .c files that declare "Public Function Prototypes" within a .c file. This is bad programming style. These declarations should all be moved to the proper header files.
configs/flipnclick-sam3x: Add support for the 4 user-controllable LEDs on the board.
configs/flipnclick-sam3x: Add board support for the Mikroe Flip&Click SAM3X.
configs/arduino-due: Update this old configuration so that it is structured a little more like recent board support.
fs/nxffs: Giving up on truncate() support in NXFFS for now. There is too much that has to be done to make that work.
configs/sim: Add support for testing NXFFS.
fs/nxffs: Add partial implementation of the truncate method: It extend files, but cannot yet shrink them.
fs/smartfs: Add partial implementation of the truncate method: It extend files, but cannot yet shrink them.
fs/fat: Add partial implementation of the truncate method: It extend files, but no yet shrink them.
fs/nfs: Add support for the truncate method to the NFS file system.
fs: Add truncate() support for userfs
fs/unionfs: Add truncate() support to the unionfs
fs/tmpfs: Add ftruncate() support to tmpfs
syscall/: Add system call support for ftruncate()
net/route: Adding ftruncate() support eliminates an issue in file-based routing table management.
fs: Add basic framework to support truncate() and ftruncate(). The infrastructure is complete. Now, however, the actual implementation of ftruncate() will have to be done for each file system.
This commit backs out most of commit b4747286b1. That change was added because sem_wait() would sometimes cause cancellation points inappropriated. But with these recent changes, nxsem_wait() is used instead and it is not a cancellation point.
In the OS, all calls to sem_wait() changed to nxsem_wait(). nxsem_wait() does not return errors via errno so each place where nxsem_wait() is now called must not examine the errno variable.
In all OS functions (not libraries), change sem_wait() to nxsem_wait(). This will prevent the OS from creating bogus cancellation points and from modifying the per-task errno variable.
sched/semaphore: Add the function nxsem_wait(). This is a new internal OS interface. It is functionally equivalent to sem_wait() except that (1) it is not a cancellation point, and (2) it does not set the per-thread errno value on return.
sched/semaphore: Add nxsem_post() which is identical to sem_post() except that it never modifies the errno variable. Changed all references to sem_post in the OS to nxsem_post().
sched/semaphore: Add nxsem_destroy() which is identical to sem_destroy() except that it never modifies the errno variable. Changed all references to sem_destroy() in the OS to nxsem_destroy().
libc/semaphore and sched/semaphore: Add nxsem_getprotocol() and nxsem_setprotocola which are identical to sem_getprotocol() and set_setprotocol() except that they never modifies the errno variable. Changed all references to sem_setprotocol in the OS to nxsem_setprotocol(). sem_getprotocol() was not used in the OS
libc/semaphore: Add nxsem_getvalue() which is identical to sem_getvalue() except that it never modifies the errno variable. Changed all references to sem_getvalue in the OS to nxsem_getvalue().
sched/semaphore: Rename all internal private functions from sem_xyz to nxsem_xyz. The sem_ prefix is (will be) reserved only for the application semaphore interfaces.
libc/semaphore: Add nxsem_init() which is identical to sem_init() except that it never modifies the errno variable. Changed all references to sem_init in the OS to nxsem_init().
sched/semaphore: Rename sem_tickwait() to nxsem_tickwait() so that it is clear this is an internal OS function.
sched/semaphoate: Rename sem_reset() to nxsem_reset() so that it is clear this is an internal OS function.
