2026-09-28Stopped the Linux port losing a mutex wake-up to a suspend signal (#754)Frédéric Desbiens
This is the ThreadX half of the defect fixed for ThreadX SMP in an earlier pull request. The Linux port suspends a thread with a signal whose handler calls sigsuspend and does not return until the thread is resumed, and it takes its critical section with a bare pthread_mutex_lock through tx_linux_mutex_lock. A thread can therefore be signalled while it is parked on _tx_linux_mutex. glibc waits for a contended mutex in a loop that re-arms the futex wait after a signal, and this handler never returns to it. The next unlock hands its wake-up to that thread, which will not act on it, and any other thread parked on the mutex is never woken, leaving the mutex free with waiters on it. tx_linux_mutex_lock now calls a helper that waits with pthread_mutex_timedlock and retries, so the wait is re-armed every TX_LINUX_MUTEX_RETRY_NSEC and a lost wake-up costs one retry period instead of the process. The period is one millisecond. pthread_mutex_timedlock needs _GNU_SOURCE under -std=c99, which both of this port's build systems already define. These are the only two ports affected: a sigsuspend-based suspend handler exists in the Linux and SMP Linux ports and nowhere else, and those two are also the only ports taking a critical section with pthread_mutex_lock. Unlike the SMP port, this one has never been observed to deadlock, which is consistent with one emulated core and far less suspend and resume traffic. The fix is by inspection, and verified as breaking nothing: all seven configurations pass with retries disabled, 105/105 in five and 100/100 in two.

2026-09-15Fixed the simulator ports and thread create paths so they compile when ↵Frédéric Desbiens
TX_MISRA_ENABLE is defined (#742) * Fixed the simulator ports so they compile when TX_MISRA_ENABLE is defined _tx_thread_stack_build() in the four simulator ports converts the fake stack pointer through TX_POINTER_TO_ALIGN_TYPE_CONVERT and TX_ALIGN_TYPE_TO_POINTER_CONVERT. tx_api.h defines both macros only in the non-MISRA branch of its #ifdef TX_MISRA_ENABLE, so with that macro defined the two names are undeclared and none of the four files compiles. Reproduced with: gcc -m32 -c -DTX_MISRA_ENABLE -I common/inc -I ports/linux/gnu/inc \ ports/linux/gnu/src/tx_thread_stack_build.c -o /dev/null which reports both names as implicit declarations and then an int to pointer assignment. The same command without the define compiles cleanly. No build configuration under test/tx/cmake or test/smp/cmake defines TX_MISRA_ENABLE, so CI never compiles these files in that mode. It surfaced on a branch that carries such a configuration. The conversions are now written inline, which is what the non-MISRA macros expand to and what the surrounding port code already does, including the line this replaced. The alternative would be the idiom common/src/tx_thread_create.c uses for the same conversion: an explicit #ifdef selecting the ULONG pair under MISRA. That is not equivalent here. On __x86_64__ this port defines ULONG as unsigned int and ALIGN_TYPE as unsigned long long, so a pointer round-tripped through the ULONG pair loses its top 32 bits. Writing the conversion inline keeps one form that is correct in both modes and on both widths. Verified by compiling the Linux port with and without TX_MISRA_ENABLE, both clean. Assisted-by: Claude Code (Opus 5) <[email protected]> * Fixed the same MISRA build break in the SMP and module manager thread create _tx_thread_create() in common_smp and _txm_module_manager_thread_create() convert the thread's stack start through TX_POINTER_TO_ALIGN_TYPE_CONVERT and TX_ALIGN_TYPE_TO_POINTER_CONVERT with no conditional at all. tx_api.h defines both macros only in the non-MISRA branch, so with TX_MISRA_ENABLE and TX_ENABLE_STACK_CHECKING both defined neither file compiles. It is the same defect as the simulator ports in the previous commit, in two more files. Reproduced with: gcc -c -DTX_MISRA_ENABLE -DTX_ENABLE_STACK_CHECKING \ -I common_smp/inc -I ports_smp/linux/gnu/inc \ common_smp/src/tx_thread_create.c -o /dev/null which reports both names as implicit declarations. Both files now compile with and without TX_MISRA_ENABLE. The conversions are written inline for the same reason as the ports: the #ifdef idiom that common/src/tx_thread_create.c uses selects the ULONG pair under MISRA, which truncates a pointer wherever ALIGN_TYPE is wider than ULONG. That is reported separately. Verified: the SMP regression suite passes 117 of 117, and the ThreadX suite still builds. Assisted-by: Claude Code (Opus 5) <[email protected]>
2026-09-15Normalized the AI disclosure comment to one fixed line per file (#740)Frédéric Desbiens
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) <[email protected]>
2026-09-09Aligned the simulator ports' fake stack pointer so ThreadX no longer ↵Frédéric Desbiens
performs misaligned ULONG accesses (#705) The Linux, Win32 and Win64 simulation ports build a fake initial stack pointer by subtracting a fixed 8 bytes from tx_thread_stack_end. That field addresses the last byte of the thread's stack area, so it is one less than an aligned address and the resulting pointer is misaligned by construction, no matter how well aligned the stack the application supplied was. Two ULONG accesses then use that pointer. _tx_thread_stack_build() itself clears the word below it, and _tx_thread_create() copies it into tx_thread_stack_highest_ptr, which TX_THREAD_STACK_CHECK dereferences on every suspend and resume when TX_ENABLE_STACK_CHECKING is defined. Both are undefined behaviour. They happen to work on x86 but are reported by GCC's undefined behaviour sanitizer, and would fault on a host that requires natural alignment. The fake stack pointer is now rounded down to a ULONG boundary, which leaves it inside the stack area and makes both accesses aligned. Verified by building the Linux port with -fsanitize=undefined and running the demo: the two reported diagnostics are produced before the change and neither appears after it. The tx and smp regression suites pass, 98 and 114 tests respectively. Fixes #218 Assisted-by: Copilot (Opus 5) <[email protected]>
