Squashed commit of the following:
Change all calls to usleep() in the OS proper to calls to nxsig_usleep()
sched/signal: Add a new OS internal function nxsig_usleep() that is functionally equivalent to usleep() but does not cause a cancellaption point and does not modify the errno variable.
sched/signal: Add a new OS internal function nxsig_sleep() that is functionally equivalent to sleep() but does not cause a cancellaption point.
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.
This commit moves the ARCH_HAVE_SPI options outside the check
for SPI. Those options don't depend on SPI, and Kconfig files
in arch/ enable them even if SPI isn't enabled.
Sourcing the driver's Kconfig in drivers/Kconfig only if
support for the driver is enabled prevents us from defining
these ARCH_HAVE options in the driver's Kconfig. We should
probably remove the other checks in drivers/Kconfig and check
if the drivers are enabled only in their Kconfig.
This change adds the following improvements:
- Increase the allowed SPI-Frequency from 20 to 40 MHz.
- Correct and rename the "VARSELECT" option This option was included in the code as "CONFIG_SPI_VARSELECT" but nowhere defined in a Kconfig file. The patch renames it to "CONFIG_SAMV7_SPI_VARSELECT" and corrects the implementation according the datasheet of Atmel. In short, this option switches the processor from "fixed peripheral selection" (single device) to "variable peripheral selection" (multiple devices on the bus).
- Add a new Function to the interface to control the timing and delays of the chip according the ChipSelect lines. This function can control the delay between the assertion of the ChipSelect and the first bit, between the last bit and the de-assertion of the ChipSelect and between two ChipSelects. This is needed to tune the transfer according the specification of the connected devices.
- Add three "hw-features" for the SAMV7, which controls the behavior of the ChipSelect:
1. force CS inactive after transfer: this forces a (short) de-assertion of the CS after a transfer, even if more data is
available in time
2. force CS active after transfer: this forces the CS to stay active after a transfer, even if the chip runs out of data. Btw.: this is a prerequisit to make the LASTXFER bit working at all.
- escape LASTXFER: this suppresses the LASTXFER bit at the end of the next transfer. The "escape"-Flag is reset automatically.
