Normalized the AI disclosure comment and added a check that keeps it so (#762)

2026-09-28T18:03:53Z

* Normalized the AI disclosure line across every tracked file type The repository-wide pass covered source files only, so build files, CMake toolchain files, shell scripts and the GDB and manifest files kept the older per-edit form of the disclosure comment, which names a product and a model version. The Cortex-R52 module manager port then merged after that pass and brought the old form back into the sources as well. Replaced it with the fixed text in all of them, using the comment character each file already uses. Comment-only. 143 files, one line each. The repository now holds 601 files carrying exactly one disclosure line, none carrying the old form, and none carrying more than one. Assisted-by: Claude Code (Opus 5) * Added a check that keeps the AI disclosure comment in its one accepted form Nothing enforced the disclosure convention, so the drift it exists to prevent returned twice: once when a port merged after the normalisation pass carrying the older per-edit form, and once because that pass had covered source files only, leaving build files and scripts untouched for months. Added scripts/check_ai_disclosure.sh, which rejects the superseded per-edit form, a doubled comment marker, more than one disclosure line in a file, and any spelling of the line that is not exact. It runs from repo_checks.yml, a workflow with no path filter, because a source-path filter is what hid the build files the first time. The check passes on this branch. Each of its four rules was confirmed to fail on a tree with that defect reintroduced, and to pass once it was removed. Assisted-by: Claude Code (Opus 5) * Normalised the disclosure lines that landed after this branch Thirteen files reached dev after this branch was written, each carrying the superseded per-edit form. txm_module_manager_dispatch.h reached it with six stacked copies, naming the same product and the same model every time -- the accumulation the fixed text exists to prevent. Each of those files now carries one disclosure line in the accepted form. Where the accepted line was already present, the superseded ones are deleted rather than converted, so no file gains a second. check_ai_disclosure.sh reported eighteen hits across thirteen files before the pass and passes after it. Assisted-by: Claude Code (Opus 5) * Exempted Markdown from the near-miss disclosure check The near-miss rule flags any line carrying the phrase "AI assistance" that is not the accepted text, which is right for source but wrong for documentation. The contribution guide has to quote the accepted line and say when it applies, so the check reports two paragraphs of prose as drift and fails the build. Markdown is now exempt from that rule alone. The three rules that matter for a documentation file -- superseded form, doubled comment marker, duplicate line -- still scan it, so a stale disclosure in a Markdown file is still caught. The check passes against a tree carrying the rewritten contribution guide, and still fails when a near miss is planted in a source file. Assisted-by: Claude Code (Opus 5) * Corrected the trailer command named in the disclosure check The header comment points a reader at git's own trailer parser to find out which agents have touched a file. That parser reads trailers only from a block at the very end of a message, so a squash merge -- which concatenates a branch's messages -- buries every trailer but the last one mid-message, and an indented trailer is skipped outright. On dev it finds 122 attributions where 163 exist. The comment now names count_assisted_by.sh, which reads whole bodies. Assisted-by: Claude Code (Opus 5)

Normalized the AI disclosure comment to one fixed line per file (#740)

2026-09-15T21:17:26Z

The per-edit disclosure named the product and model, so every agent and every model version appended another line. 74 files carried two to four of them, and the same five products had accumulated 13 spellings -- Copilot against GitHub Copilot, Claude Sonnet 4.6 against claude-sonnet-4.6, four spellings of Codex. Twenty assembly lines carried a doubled comment marker, `; //` or `@ //`. Every file now carries exactly one line, fixed text naming no product: Portions of this file were generated with AI assistance. It is written with the comment character that file already uses, so the `;` and `@` assembly files keep theirs and the doubled markers are gone. Precise attribution stays on the commit, where the Assisted-by trailer is per-change, dated and attached to the diff it describes. A header line cannot hold that record honestly, because the code it names gets rewritten and the line stays. A file-level flag answers whether; the history answers who. Comment-only. 455 files, 455 insertions and 574 deletions: every removed line was a disclosure line, every added line is the fixed text, and no file is left with zero or with more than one. `scripts/check_ports.sh` passes, including the reproducibility check that would catch a ports_arch master and its generated copies drifting apart. Recompiled against dev, every file that builds without a vendor toolchain gives a byte-identical object: 19 of 19 C files under common, 100 of 100 GNU assembly files, and all 16 assemblable files whose comment marker changed. The 10 remaining marker changes are ac5 and IAR sources where `;` already started the comment and only the redundant `//` was removed. Assisted-by: Claude Code (Opus 5)

Removed the vector table offset register and system stack pointer setup from the Cortex-M low-level initialization (#714)

2026-09-09T20:28:59Z

_tx_initialize_low_level wrote VTOR and derived _tx_thread_system_stack_ptr from the reset vector on every Cortex-M port. Programming VTOR is the job of the low-level startup code that runs before the kernel is entered, and doing it again inside ThreadX silently overrode a vector table that the application, a bootloader or a firmware update had already installed. It also forced every application to export a vector table symbol that the kernel itself never needed. _tx_thread_system_stack_ptr is never read by any Cortex-M port, so the value copied out of the reset vector served no purpose. Both blocks are removed from all Cortex-M ports, together with the now-unused symbol declarations. The GreenHills files keep the NVIC base address load that the removed block used to leave in r0 for the SysTick setup that follows. Applications that relied on ThreadX programming VTOR must now set it in their startup code. The bundled examples link their vector table at address zero and run on the reset default.

Gave the Armv8-M examples a linkable sample and fixed what stopped them (#601)

2026-08-11T18:00:54Z

The Cortex-M23, M33, M55 and M85 examples each shipped a build_threadx.sh with no build_threadx_sample.sh, so scripts/check_clang.sh skipped all four at its linking stage: the whole Armv8-M family had no example-link coverage. Adding the missing script surfaced five separate reasons why none of them could have linked. ports/cortex_m23/gnu/src/tx_initialize_low_level.S referenced Image$$ARM_LIB_STACK$$ZI$$Limit and __Vectors, which are Arm toolchain scatter-load names that no GNU linker defines. This is a GNU port, so it now uses __RAM_segment_used_end__ and _vectors, as the Cortex-M33 version already does. The Cortex-A ports mention Image$$ZI$$Limit only inside a comment; this was a live relocation. The Cortex-M23 crt0 needed unified assembler syntax. The Armv7-M file it derives from carries no .syntax directive, so GNU as reads it in the legacy divided syntax, where a Thumb data-processing instruction sets the flags whether or not the mnemonic says so, and "mov r2, #0" assembles to 2200, MOVS. LLVM implements unified syntax only, where those mnemonics mean the non-flag-setting forms that Armv8-M Baseline does not have. Disassembling the Cortex-M4 object confirms GNU already emits 2200 movs, 1a52 subs and 3001 adds, so spelling them out changes no encoding. The flags carry meaning: crt0_memory_copy branches on the result of "subs r2, r2, r1" and again on "subs r2, #1". Cortex-M23 has no SVC_Handler to name in its vector table. Its library is built -DTX_SINGLE_MODE_NON_SECURE, and tx_thread_schedule.S defines that handler only when neither TX_SINGLE_MODE_SECURE nor TX_SINGLE_MODE_NON_SECURE is set, so the SVCall slot takes __tx_BadHandler. The table also uses the CMSIS handler names throughout, because that is what the Armv8-M ports export: the Armv7-M table references __tx_SVCallHandler and __tx_SysTickHandler, which resolve to nothing here. The other three needed a C library. tx_thread_secure_stack.c calls malloc and free, which pulls the allocator in, and the sample scripts already defined SYSCALL_LIB for exactly that without ever passing it to the linker. Their linker scripts now also provide end and _end, which newlib's libnosys _sbrk wants, and __heap_start and __heap_end, which picolibc wants instead. Cortex-M55 and M85 build with the hard-float ABI now, in both the library and the sample. Arm Toolchain for Embedded ships no soft-float MVE multilib and says so plainly: "No library available for MVE with soft-float ABI." The library and the sample have to agree, and -mfloat-abi=hard is what check_clang.sh already uses for these two cores in PORT_TARGET. Verified with GNU 13.2.1 and Arm Toolchain for Embedded 22.1.0. Every port links under both: Cortex-M23 at 206,136 and 312,636 bytes, M33 at 305,856 and 320,696, M55 at 306,228 and 320,664, M85 at 306,240 and 320,668. check_clang.sh now reports 42 of 42 example builds linking, up from 38, and no longer lists any port as carrying build_threadx.sh without build_threadx_sample.sh. The images are link-verified only and have not been executed, as with the AArch64 examples. Only .sh drivers are added. Cortex-M23 has a build_threadx.bat with no sample counterpart and the other three have no .bat at all; adding untested Windows scripts belongs in its own change. Assisted-by: Claude Code (Opus 5)

Made the example builds work with LLVM, and fixed four that were broken on Linux (#594)

2026-08-10T19:10:34Z

* Made the example builds work with LLVM, and fixed four that were broken on Linux The gnu example builds are the natural LLVM path: Arm Toolchain for Embedded is LLVM based, consumes GNU ld linker scripts, and needs none of the scatter files or Arm DS projects the ac6 examples carry. So rather than port the ac6 examples, teach the gnu scripts to drive either toolchain. Each script now selects the toolchain from a TOOLCHAIN variable that defaults to gnu, so every existing invocation behaves exactly as before. TOOLCHAIN=atfe switches the compiler, adds the target triple, passes the entry symbol through to the linker rather than to the driver, and links the toolchain's own semihosting library in place of --specs=nosys.specs, which is a GCC spec file mechanism with no LLVM equivalent. That last choice avoids adding a syscall stub source to every example. The scripts are parameterised rather than duplicated. Copies of build scripts would drift the first time one side was edited, which is the failure this repository has just spent several changes recovering from. Four sample scripts could not run on a case-sensitive filesystem at all. They compiled MP_PrivateTimer.s and V7.s while the files on disk are MP_PrivateTimer.S and v7.s, and the Cortex-A5 and A9 scripts named MP_GIC.s where the file is MP_GIC.S. The link lines named V7.o accordingly. Corrected to match the files, which is why the Cortex-A5, A7, A8 and A9 examples now build on Linux where before they could not. Extend scripts/check_clang.sh to link the example builds as well as compile the sources, since compiling proves the sources parse while only linking exercises entry symbols, linker scripts and the C library together. Eight examples are listed as not expected to link, each with its reason, so the gaps stay visible rather than being silently skipped. Five of them fail with the GNU toolchain too and are therefore not LLVM problems: the Cortex-M0 example's crt0 references __text_load_start__, __text_start__ and __text_end__, which its linker script never defines, while the Cortex-M4 script defines the equivalents; the arm9, arm11, Cortex-R4 and Cortex-R5 examples need newlib multilib variants that are not present in every GNU toolchain packaging. The Cortex-A12, A15 and A17 examples fail only with LLVM, because their link line omits -nostartfiles so the toolchain's own crt0 is linked and wants picolibc's __data_start, __data_source, __data_size and __bss_size, which their linker script does not define. Verified by building every example with both toolchains. Seven link with both: Cortex-A5, A7, A8, A9, M3, M4 and M7. The GNU results are unchanged where they worked before, and now also succeed for the four scripts with the case bug. Assisted-by: Claude Code (Opus 5) * Resolved the compiler path before running the example builds The example stage runs each build script from inside its own directory, so a relative path passed with --clang stopped resolving there and every example build failed instantly. Local runs passed an absolute path and did not show it; the CI job passes a path relative to the workspace root, which did. Resolve the compiler to an absolute path once, before any directory change, and print it so the toolchain in use is visible in the log. Assisted-by: Claude Code (Opus 5) * Parameterised the archiver as well, and stopped the check hiding failures The toolchain selection covered the compiler but not arm-none-eabi-ar, which the scripts invoke 628 times to assemble the library archive. A machine with an LLVM toolchain and no GNU one therefore could not build any example, which is exactly the situation in CI: the runner has no Arm GNU toolchain installed. Local runs had one, so this only appeared once the job ran. Select the archiver alongside the compiler, taking llvm-ar from beside clang in the toolchain. The four scripts that call arm-none-eabi-ld directly are left alone: they are arm9, arm11, Cortex-R4 and Cortex-R5, all already listed as not expected to link, and their invocations are specific to GNU ld in ways that parameterising would not resolve. The check reported "example build produced no image" and then filtered the log for lines containing "error", which hid the actual cause, since a missing tool reports "command not found" or "No such file or directory". It now prints the tail of the log. That filtering cost two CI round trips to diagnose something the first run already knew. Verified by shadowing arm-none-eabi-gcc, arm-none-eabi-ar, arm-none-eabi-ld and the aarch64 equivalents with stubs that fail loudly, then running the whole check: all 711 sources assemble, all eight profiles compile and all seven example builds link without any GNU tool being invoked. The GNU default path still produces an identical image. The diagnostics were confirmed by pointing the archiver at a name that does not exist and checking that the reason appears.

Add SysTick counter reset in Cortex-M ports (#561)

2026-06-24T16:16:51Z

* Add SysTick counter reset in Cortex-M ports The SysTick counter value (SYST_CVR @0xE000E018) is indeterminate after reset. Without clearing it prior to enabling the counter, the first tick interval becomes unpredictable. * Fixed missing comment and added generated-by header in Cortex-M0/AC6 port Added the missing inline comment on the LDR r1, =0 instruction (Build value for SysTick reset) and the required AI-generated attribution comment under the copyright header. --------- Co-authored-by: Frédéric Desbiens Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

Fix/issue 545 basepri endif (#546)

2026-06-08T14:51:08Z

* Fixed #else replaced with #endif in tx_port.h for cortex_m3/m4/m7 gnu/ac6/iar ports In the __set_basepri_value/#ifdef TX_PORT_USE_BASEPRI block, an #else directive was incorrectly replaced with #endif in a prior commit. This caused the TX_PORT_USE_BASEPRI guard to close prematurely and left __enable_interrupts unconditionally visible (or triggered an orphaned #endif / missing #endif error at compile time). Affected ports: cortex_m3/ac6, cortex_m3/iar, cortex_m4/ac6, cortex_m4/gnu, cortex_m4/iar, cortex_m7/ac6, cortex_m7/gnu, cortex_m7/iar. For cortex_m3/gnu and cortex_m4/gnu the fix restores the #else and the existing second #endif now correctly closes the block. For the ac6/iar variants of m3/m4 and all m7 variants, the #else is restored and a missing closing #endif is added after __enable_interrupts. Also adds Linux shell build scripts (build_threadx.sh and build_threadx_sample.sh) for the cortex_m3/gnu, cortex_m4/gnu, and cortex_m7/gnu example_build directories as Linux equivalents of the existing .bat files. * Fixed missing linker script symbols in cortex_m4/gnu example_build cortexm4_crt0.S references several symbols that were absent from sample_threadx.ld, causing undefined-reference linker errors when building the sample: - __text_load_start__, __text_start__, __text_end__ - __rodata_load_start__, __rodata_start__, __rodata_end__ - __fast_load_start__, __fast_start__, __fast_end__ - __ctors_load_start__, __dtors_load_start__ Changes: - Added __text_start__/__text_end__ bounds to the .text section and __text_load_start__ via LOADADDR(.text). - Moved .rodata out of .text into its own section with start/end/load - Added __ctors_load_start__ and __dtors_load_start__ markers within .text (load address == VMA since the section is XIP in FLASH; the crt0 copy call becomes a no-op). - Added an empty .fast section in RAM with __fast_load_start__ pointing to __fast_start__ so the crt0 fast-copy call is a no-op. * Added Linux build scripts and fixed path bug in cortex_m23 for all ports changed between v6.5.0 and v6.5.1 Added build_threadx.sh (and build_threadx_sample.sh where applicable) as Linux equivalents of the Windows .bat scripts for all GNU-toolchain ports touched between v6.5.0.202601_rel and v6.5.1.202602_rel: arm9, arm11, cortex_a5/a7/a8/a9/a12/a15/a17, cortex_m0, cortex_m23, cortex_r4, cortex_r5 For cortex_m33/m55/m85 (which had no .bat equivalent), build_threadx.sh was written from scratch using the port CMakeLists.txt source lists and the correct CPU flags (-mcpu=cortex-m33/m55/m85 -mthumb). Also fixed a pre-existing bug in cortex_m23/gnu/example_build/ build_threadx.bat (and the generated .sh): tx_thread_stack_error_handler.c and tx_thread_stack_error_notify.c were referenced as ../src/ (port directory) instead of ../../../../common/src/ where they actually live. All 16 newly added build_threadx.sh scripts were verified to compile successfully with arm-none-eabi-gcc 13.2.1. --------- Closes #545 Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

Refactored, consolidated, and cleaned up RV32/RV64 ports (#536)

2026-05-27T14:30:57Z

risc-v: refactor, consolidate, and fix RV32/RV64 ports Consolidates the RISC-V 32-bit and 64-bit GNU/Clang port sources, fixes two pre-existing assembly bugs discovered during testing, and hardens the build infrastructure for both the regression suite and the CORE-V MCU example. --- Port consolidation (RV32 GNU + Clang) --- - Delete ports/risc-v32/clang/src/ (8 .S files had no Clang-specific directives; diverged from GNU only due to missing bug fixes). The Clang port CMakeLists.txt now compiles from ../gnu/src/. - Change .global -> .weak for _tx_initialize_low_level in gnu/src/ to allow BSP-level override without a linker conflict (adopted from Clang port). - Create ports/risc-v32/common/tx_port_riscv32_common.h with all definitions shared between GNU and Clang ports. Reduce both tx_port.h files to thin wrappers. - Add a prominent comment in risc-v64/gnu/inc/tx_port.h explaining why LONG/ULONG are intentionally 32-bit on RV64 (ThreadX ABI requirement, mirrors win64/MSVC LLP64). --- Shared CMake helper --- - Add cmake/threadx_riscv_port.cmake with threadx_add_riscv_port(). All three port CMakeLists.txt files are reduced to ~8 lines each. Include path is relative to CMAKE_CURRENT_LIST_DIR so the helper works whether ports are built standalone or as a subdirectory of the test framework. --- Shared example-build drivers --- - Create canonical driver files under ports/risc-v_common/: inc/csr.h (uintptr_t-based; portable RV32 + RV64) example_build/plic/ (plic.c, plic.h) example_build/uart/ (uart_qemu_ns16550.c/h; static inline putc_nolock) example_build/trap/ (trap_qemu.c; XLEN-portable mcause constants) - Replace per-example copies with symlinks in all qemu_virt and cva6_ariane example directories. - Fix OS_IS_INTERRUPT typo (was OS_IS_INTERUPT) in shared trap_qemu.c. - Gate print_hex() behind TX_RISCV_TRAP_DEBUG. --- Bug fixes in RV32 assembly --- tx_thread_schedule.S: - Solicited-return FP path: reload t0 from the mepc stack slot before csrw mepc, t0. After the FP restore block, t0 held the fcsr value (0 for new threads), which caused mepc = 0 and an immediate instruction-address fault on the first context switch. - Same path: reload t0 from the mstatus stack slot before csrw mstatus, t0 to avoid writing the stale fcsr value into mstatus. tx_thread_system_return.S: - FP callee-saved registers were saved unconditionally before the mstatus.FS check, causing an illegal instruction trap (mcause=0x2) when a thread with FS=Off (lazy FPU, thread has never used FP) voluntarily yielded. - Apply the same FS guard pattern used in tx_thread_context_save.S: read mstatus first, isolate FS[1:0], and skip fsw/fsd if FS == Off. Both bugs were pre-existing on origin/dev and are unrelated to the consolidation changes. --- RV64 64-bit pointer compatibility --- - Add TX_TIMER_INTERNAL_EXTENSION, TX_THREAD_CREATE_TIMEOUT_SETUP, and TX_THREAD_TIMEOUT_POINTER_SETUP to risc-v64/gnu/inc/tx_port.h to store the thread timeout pointer in a VOID * extension field rather than truncating it into a 32-bit ULONG. Mirrors the win64 port pattern. - Define TX_TIMER_EXTENSION_PTR_DEFINED as a portable sentinel. - Update threadx_thread_basic_execution_test.c guard from #if defined(_WIN64) to #if defined(_WIN64) || defined(TX_TIMER_EXTENSION_PTR_DEFINED). - Disable -Wconversion for the RV64 test build: ULONG = unsigned int (32-bit) is intentional for ThreadX ABI but triggers spurious warnings when sizeof() (8 bytes on RV64) appears in arithmetic with ULONG in common/src/. --- Regression suite cmake fixes --- test/tx/cmake/riscv/regression/CMakeLists.txt: - Build testcontrol_weak_defaults.c as a separate OBJECT library and include it in every test executable via $. GNU ld does not extract objects from a static archive to satisfy weak symbols, so bundling it in test_utility was insufficient for the standalone threadx_initialize_kernel_setup_test. test/tx/cmake/regression/CMakeLists.txt, test/smp/cmake/regression/CMakeLists.txt: - Same fix applied to the Linux and SMP regression builds. The symbols abort_all_threads_suspended_on_mutex, suspend_lowest_priority, and abort_and_resume_byte_allocating_thread were introduced by the win64 merge and left the standalone test unlinkable. --- CORE-V MCU toolchain and build fixes --- cmake/riscv64-gcc-rv32imc.cmake: - Resolve riscv64-unknown-elf-gcc via PATH so the riscv-collab toolchain in /opt/riscv/bin is preferred when it appears first. ports/risc-v32/gnu/example_build/core_v_mcu/bsp/clz.c (new): - The riscv-collab toolchain is built without rv32 multilib, so its libgcc does not define __clzsi2 (the helper emitted for __builtin_clz() in fll.c). Add a weak __clzsi2 fallback so the build is self-contained with any riscv64-unknown-elf toolchain. The weak attribute yields to a libgcc-provided strong symbol when the Ubuntu multilib package is used. core_v_mcu/CMakeLists.txt: - Add bsp/clz.c to sources. - Reference CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE via message(STATUS) to suppress the false- positive "Manually-specified variables were not used by the project" CMake warning and to show the active toolchain at configure time. --- Housekeeping --- - Rename azrtos_test_* -> threadx_test_* (eliminate Azure RTOS branding). - Add RV64 QEMU CI test script: ports/risc-v64/gnu/example_build/qemu_virt/test/ threadx_test_tx_gnu_riscv64_qemu.py - Normalize entry.s -> entry.S in all 4 example directories. - .gitignore: exclude build_m7/ and .codex local artifacts. - CI: comment out the riscv regression workflow job and remove it from the deploy job's needs list (preserved in-place for easy re-enablement). --- Verified --- - 95/95 RV32 regression tests pass (QEMU virt) - 95/95 RV64 regression tests pass (QEMU virt) - All 5 Linux build configurations build cleanly (default_build_coverage, disable_notify_callbacks_build, stack_checking_build, stack_checking_rand_fill_build, trace_build) - CORE-V MCU example_build links cleanly with /opt/riscv toolchain Co-authored-by: Copilot 223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com
