Refer to issue #8867 for details and rational.
Convert sigset_t to an array type so that more than 32 signals can be supported.
Why not use a uin64_t?
- Using a uin32_t is more flexible if we decide to increase the number of signals beyound 64.
- 64-bit accesses are not atomic, at least not on 32-bit ARMv7-M and similar
- Keeping the base type as uint32_t does not introduce additional overhead due to padding to achieve 64-bit alignment of uin64_t
- Some architectures still supported by NuttX do not support uin64_t
types,
Increased the number of signals to 64. This matches Linux. This will support all xsignals defined by Linux and also 32 real time signals (also like Linux).
This is is a work in progress; a draft PR that you are encouraged to comment on.
This is analogous to similar renaming that was done previously for semaphores.
Squashed commit of the following:
sched/signal: Fix a few compile warnings introduced by naming changes.
sched/signal: Rename all private, internal signl functions to use the nxsig_ prefix.
sched/signal: Rename sig_removependingsignal, sig_unmaskpendingsignal, and sig_mqnotempty to nxsig_remove_pendingsignal, nxsig_unmask_pendingsignal, and nxsig_mqnotempty to make it clear that these are OS internal interfaces.
sched/signal: Rename sig_findaction and sig_lowest to nxsig_find_action and nxsig_lowest to make it clear that these are OS internal interfaces.
sched/signal: Rename sig_allocatepingsigaction and sig_deliver to nxsig_alloc_pendingsigaction and nxsig_deliver to make it clear that these are OS internal interfaces.
sched/signal: Rename sig_cleanup, sig_release, sig_releasependingaction, and sig_releasependingsignal to nxsig_cleanup, nxsig_release, nxsig_release_pendingaction, and nxsig_release_pendingsignal to make it clear that these are OS internal interfaces.
sched/signal: Rename sig_tcbdispatch and sig_dispatch to nxsig_tcbdispatch and nxsig_dispatch to make it clear that these are OS internal interfaces.
sched/signal: Rename sig_releaseaction and sig_pendingset to nxsig_release_action and nxsig_pendingset to make it clear that these are OS internal interfaces.
sched/signal: Rename sig_initialize and sig_allocateactionblock to nxsig_initialize and nxsig_alloc_actionblock to make it clear that these are OS internal interfaces.
2. Move list of signal actions from the task TCB to the task group. Signal handlers are a property of the entire task group and not of individual threads in the group. I know, I preferred it the other way too but this is more compliant with POSIX.
