threadx.git/ports/linux/gnu/inc, branch v6.4.1_cert

Restored the Linux port mutex retry

2026-10-14T14:57:14Z

This was reverted because a NetX Secure regression test segfaulted with it in place. The cause was the test: it hands the certificate verify path a stack-local certificate whose signature it never assigns, and this change moves the stack layout that decides whether the unassigned slot reads null or a readable leftover. That test has been fixed, so the retry comes back. Measured with the test unfixed and this change in place, on a layout built without the stack protector: eight of eight runs segfault, the fault read from the faulting process as a null signature dereferenced by the ECDSA verify. With the test fixed, nineteen build configurations run it eight times each with no fault. Without this change, a thread signalled into the port's suspend handler never returns to the contended-mutex loop, the next unlock's wake-up is lost, the scheduler is left parked, and the timer interrupt never runs -- which stalls the tick and hangs about 0.39% of instances of a few TCP tests for their full timeout.

Reverted the Linux port mutex retry on this branch

2026-09-30T19:10:15Z

The backport fixes a real deadlock and is right in itself, but on this branch it reproducibly breaks the NetX Duo nx_secure suite: nx_secure_tls_coverage_test segfaults in 8 of 19 configurations on one run and 9 of 19 on a re-run of the same commit, against four consecutive runs with none before it. Whether the retry causes that or merely exposes something latent is not known. The first guess, a kernel object outliving its stack frame, is wrong: that test's sessions are file scope and its creates and deletes balance. The deadlock the retry cures costs one configuration's coverage data at roughly 0.4% of test instances, which the union absorbs, so the branch is measurably worse with it than without while the interaction is unexplained. This is a deferral, not a dismissal. The diagnosis stands, the reproduction is recorded, and re-applying is one cherry-pick. The upstream fix is unaffected. This reverts commit ac95c32c.

Stopped the Linux port losing a mutex wake-up to a suspend signal

2026-09-30T15:55:52Z

The port suspends a thread with a signal whose handler calls sigsuspend and does not return until resumed, and takes its critical section with a bare pthread_mutex_lock. A thread signalled while parked on _tx_linux_mutex never returns to glibc's contended-mutex loop, so the next unlock's wake-up goes to a thread that will not act on it and every other waiter is left parked on a mutex that is free. tx_linux_mutex_lock now calls a helper that waits with pthread_mutex_timedlock and retries every TX_LINUX_MUTEX_RETRY_NSEC, one millisecond, so a lost wake-up costs a retry period instead of the process. The original fix was made by inspection, on a port never observed to deadlock. It has now been observed. A stalled regression test reads the mutex free, owner zero, with the scheduler still on its futex word; it never posts _tx_linux_isr_semaphore, the timer thread never returns from _tx_thread_context_restore, and the simulated clock stops. Bounding a wait cannot save it: one capture held 116 ticks of timeout unchanged across 40 seconds. Measured on netx_tcp_overlapping_packet_test_10, six workers on four pinned CPUs: 5 stalls in 1,266 runs before, 0 in 2,034 after, three held frozen through 60 seconds of untraced /proc sampling. netxduo/default_build_coverage is unmoved at 914/914, 121 skipped, 497 files, 11230/11256 lines and 6912/6925 branches.

Covered the byte allocate's overwritten trace entry via the port hook

2026-09-16T15:27:52Z

The byte allocate saves the time stamp of its own trace entry and comes back to fill in the address it allocated, unless a later event overwrote the entry meanwhile. Interrupts are off across all of the service but the pool search, and nothing in the kernel writes a trace event in that gap, so the other arm never ran. The Linux port already calls out to the harness inside that gap: TX_BYTE_ALLOCATE_EXTENSION exists for coverage work and sits between the restore and the disable that bracket the search. It gains a second clause, under its own flag, calling a routine the harness declares weakly. A new test filters the byte pool event class so the allocate's own insert writes nothing and leaves the buffer parked on the saved entry, then has the hook write a user event, which lands on exactly that entry. Neither half reaches the arm alone. One configuration cannot take it at all, and that is a property of the port rather than of the test: under TX_MISRA_ENABLE the trace time stamp comes from a function whose body returns zero, so every entry reads zero and the comparison is 0 == 0 whatever overwrites it. The test drives the overwrite there too and asserts the consequence only where the time source is real. 805/805 in each of the seven configurations. Union coverage is 4383/4383 lines and 3150/3170 branches against 3147/3168; the denominator gains the new clause's two outcomes and both are covered. Gate raised to 99.30.
