ThreadX still declares 6.5.1.202602 with hotfix 'a', which is the previous
release rather than the one being cut.
prepare_release.sh updated the five version constants in tx_api.h and the
version string in 211 port headers across ports, ports_smp, ports_arch and
ports_module. The hotfix letter is cleared, since the target has none. Nothing
else changed: every line in the port commit carries a version, and no file
outside an inc/tx_port.h was touched.
The port consistency checks passed before the branch was cut, which is what the
script gates on. Host regression 113/113 with zero warnings, and the AI
disclosure check passes.

* 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.

* 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Added scripts/check_ai_disclosure.sh, which rejects the superseded per-edit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.

* 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superseded per-edit form.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.

* 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.

* 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.

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.

comments that describe what the code actually does (#735)
The context save, vectored context save and system return routines in the
ARMv7-A ports carried pseudo-code comments claiming that they saved the
thread stack pointer and then switched to _tx_thread_system_stack_ptr.
Neither of those things happens, and none of these ports references that
variable outside an unused IMPORT in their example builds.
On ARMv7-A each processor mode has its own banked stack pointer. The IRQ
handler branches to _tx_thread_context_save while still in IRQ mode, so the
core's banked IRQ stack already serves as the system stack, and the thread
stack pointer is stored in the control block by _tx_thread_context_restore,
and only when the interrupt results in preemption. The scheduler runs on the
banked SVC mode stack that the startup code sets up. There is nothing for a
software stack switch to do.
The comments were therefore misleading rather than merely redundant, and had
led at least one user to try to restore the code they described. They are now
replaced by a description of the actual mechanism.
The AArch64 SMP ports keep their comments unchanged, because ARMv8-A does not
bank a stack pointer per processor mode and those ports do reload
_tx_thread_system_stack_ptr[core] explicitly.
This is a comment-only change. Every changed line is a comment, and all
twenty-five GNU variants still assemble cleanly for their target core.
The fourteen files under ports/cortex_a{5,7,8,9,12,15,17} were regenerated
from ports_arch/ARMv7-A/threadx/common/src/tx_thread_system_return.S with
ports_arch/ARMv7-A/update.sh. The ARMv7-A SMP ports have no generator, so
those files were edited directly.

Two lines named assembly sources that #672 renamed. That change moved
twenty-nine files under gnu trees from .s to .S, because GAS runs the C
preprocessor on .S and not on .s: in a .s file every # line is a comment, so a
#define is never substituted and an #if/#else pair emits both arms. Four files
were silently doing the wrong thing as a result, including
ports_smp/cortex_a7_smp/gnu/src/tx_thread_smp_unprotect.s, which ignored all
four of its own feature macros.
These scripts had worked around the same defect with -x assembler-with-cpp
rather than hitting it, which was correct when they were written. With the
rename the flag is redundant and the lowercase names no longer resolve, so
cortex_a5_smp/build_threadx.sh failed with "cc1: fatal error:
tx_initialize_low_level.s: No such file or directory". The other seven
references to those two files across these three scripts already named them
with a capital S.
Verified with the pinned Arm GNU 14.3.rel1 rather than the 13.2 that a distro
package supplies: build_threadx.sh and build_threadx_sample.sh both succeed for
a5, a7 and a9, all three link a sample_threadx.out, and scripts/check_gcc.sh
passes end to end with its example stage reading 45 of 45, up from 42.

no longer get warnings from ThreadX headers (#713)
* Marked every published ThreadX include directory as SYSTEM so applications no longer get warnings from ThreadX headers
Commit 8c3c08f added the SYSTEM keyword to the target_include_directories
call in common/CMakeLists.txt, but the same call in every port, in the
SMP common directory's consumers, in the POSIX and FreeRTOS compatibility
layers, and for the generated tx_user.h directory was left unchanged.
A consumer building with a strict warning set therefore still saw
diagnostics coming from tx_port.h and from the compatibility layer
headers, which is exactly what the original change set out to avoid.
Added the SYSTEM keyword to all of those calls so CMake emits -isystem
rather than -I for every directory holding a ThreadX public header. The
ARMv7-M, ARMv8-M, ARMv7-A and ARMv8-A architecture sources under
ports_arch were updated alongside the ports they generate, keeping the
two in step.
Directories that are PRIVATE to an example or test build were left as
they are, since nothing is published from them.

* Stopped apt-get update being a gate it was never meant to be
apt-get update fails if any configured repository serves a bad index,
including ones this project never reads. The GitHub runner image carries
Google's and Microsoft's apt repositories, and a Hash Sum mismatch from
Google's, their CDN caught mid-publish with the index and the Release
file eight hours apart, failed all three attempts and turned a run red
over a browser nobody was installing.
Made a failed update warn and carry on, leaving apt-get install as the
gate. Nothing is weakened by that: the install still exits on a package
it cannot find, so an unreachable archive still stops the script, one
step later and naming the package it could not get, which is a better
diagnostic than a hash mismatch in a repository nobody asked for.
Disabling third-party sources before updating would keep the update
strict, but this script also runs on a contributor's own machine, and
rewriting someone's apt configuration to suit CI would be worse than
tolerating a stale index for an archive we do not read.

deadlock waiting for protection (#707)
The Cortex-A5, A7 and A9 SMP ports guarded the inter-core protection with
a FIFO wait list: a core that could not take the lock added itself to a
queue, incremented _tx_thread_smp_protect_wait_counts[core], and only the
core at the head of the queue was allowed to acquire.
Two parts of that scheme require the waiting core to be interruptible.
_tx_thread_smp_unprotect() refuses to release the protection while the
releasing core's own wait count is non-zero, and a queued core is taken
back out of the list by _tx_thread_context_restore() when it is preempted.
Neither can happen on a core that is spinning inside an ISR with
interrupts already masked, because the spin loop restores the caller's
interrupt posture rather than enabling interrupts. The core stays in the
list forever and the system deadlocks with cores stuck in the wait loop.
This is the deadlock Microsoft removed from the ARMv8-A SMP ports in
6.1.11, by dropping the wait list and using a plain LDAXR/STXR spinlock.
The same removal was announced for the ARMv7-A ports at the time but was
never made, so those three ports have carried the deadlock ever since.
The FIFO queueing is now removed from the ARMv7-A SMP ports as well.
_tx_thread_smp_protect() becomes an LDREX/STREX spinlock that releases
interrupts between attempts, matching the sequence already used by the
Cortex-R8 SMP port; _tx_thread_smp_unprotect() no longer consults the
wait counts; and _tx_thread_context_restore() no longer has to unqueue a
preempted core. The now unreferenced wait list macro headers are deleted.
Verified by assembling all three GNU ports with arm-none-eabi-gcc for
cortex-a5, cortex-a7 and cortex-a9, with and without
TX_ENABLE_FIQ_SUPPORT, TX_ENABLE_WFE and TX_MPCORE_DEBUG_ENABLE, and by
reading back the disassembly of the new protect sequence. The port
consistency checks pass.

preemptions (#704)
_tx_thread_schedule stores the newly selected thread into
_tx_thread_current_ptr[core] and then reloads _tx_thread_execute_ptr[core]
to detect a concurrent scheduling decision made by another core. On the
other side, _tx_thread_smp_core_interrupt stores the execute pointer and
then reads the current pointer to decide whether an inter-core interrupt is
required. This is a store-buffer pattern: without a barrier both cores can
observe stale values, the interrupt is skipped, and a ready thread with the
highest priority is never scheduled.
The barrier was added to the ARMv8-A SMP scheduler in 6.2.1, but the
ARMv7-A SMP ports were left untouched even though they implement the same
protocol. This adds the corresponding DMB to the Cortex-A5, Cortex-A7 and
Cortex-A9 SMP schedulers for both the AC5 and GNU toolchains.
The GNU variants were verified by assembling them with arm-none-eabi-gcc
13.2.1 for their respective cores.

scripts/check_clang.sh globbed ports_module/*/gnu/src, which does not exist --
the module ports keep their assembly in module_manager/src. The [ -d ] guard
skipped it in silence, so 116 assembly files across nine Arm module ports were
assembled by no check, with either compiler, in the script whose own comments
state three times that "a port that is simply absent from the count reads as
covered". Stage 1 goes from 724 of 724 to 840 of 840; the feature-macro stage
had the same gap and goes from 412 files to 469.
Correcting the path exposed five defects, and only one of them was a build
failure. The other four assembled cleanly and did the wrong thing, because GAS
runs the C preprocessor on .S and not on .s:
ports_smp/cortex_a7_smp/gnu/src/tx_thread_smp_unprotect.s, the only .s in a
directory of twenty-one .S, ignored all four of its own feature macros. It
wrote the caller's LR into the protection structure on every unprotect -- a
store guarded by TX_MPCORE_DEBUG_ENABLE -- sent an unconditional SEV, and
returned through both BX lr and MOV pc, lr. Its cortex_a5_smp and
cortex_a9_smp siblings are .S.
ports_module/cortex_m33/.../tx_thread_stack_build.s emitted both arms of an
#ifdef TX_SINGLE_MODE_SECURE, so the non-secure LR value overwrote the secure
one and the secure build got the wrong frame.
ports_module/cortex_m23/.../tx_thread_context_{save,restore}.S carried the
POP {r0, lr} that check_clang.sh's own comment describes as the reason the
feature-macro stage exists. The 16-bit Thumb POP takes r0-r7 and pc only.
The identical fix already sits in ports/cortex_m23/gnu/src; the module copy
never got it because nothing scanned it.
ports_module/cortex_m23/.../tx_thread_secure_stack_initialize.S used MOV
rather than MOVS for an 8-bit immediate, latent behind TX_SINGLE_MODE_SECURE.
Both siblings in the same directory already use MOVS.
ports_module/cortex_a7/gnu/module_manager/src is the one that failed to
assemble, on GCC 14.3 as well as on LLVM: #define SYS_MODE was never
expanded, so #SYS_MODE reached the assembler as an undefined symbol.
Twenty-nine .s files under gnu trees are renamed to .S. Every one of them is
already named .S by the build scripts that compile it, so this repairs those
scripts rather than churning them -- ports_module/cortex_a7's build_threadx.bat
names all eighteen with a capital S, and works today only on a case-insensitive
filesystem. Renaming rather than converting the #defines to GNU assignments is
what fixes the #ifdef blocks as well as the constants; the assignments would
have fixed two files and left twenty-seven silently ignoring their macros.
Files with no preprocessor directives are left as .s: they are not broken, and
check_ports.sh gains a check that keeps them that way. Only the gnu trees are
checked there -- the IAR, Arm Compiler 5 and Keil assemblers preprocess .s
themselves, and about three hundred files in this repository rely on that.
Verified with both toolchains on the same tree: 840 of 840 assembled by
ATfE 22.1.0 and by arm-gnu-toolchain 14.3.rel1, all five stages of
check_clang.sh green, and check_ports.sh green including the reproducibility
check. The new check was shown to fail by planting a copy of the file it was
written for.
No regression test accompanies this. The assembly it covers is executed by no
host test, and the check itself going from 724 files to 840 is the coverage
AGENTS.md asks for -- together with the new check_ports.sh section, which is
what stops the class recurring.

The project guidelines ask for CMake and Ninja, but only 15 of the 59 gnu port
directories had a CMakeLists.txt. None of the 27 AArch64 ports had one, so the
architecture whose examples were repaired over the last few changes still could
not be built the way the project says to build it, and nothing in CI could
compile it.
Add a CMakeLists.txt to the 44 that lacked one. Three of them are templates in
ports_arch, because 34 of the 44 are generated: the ARMv7-A and AArch64 source
lists are uniform within each family, so one template per family serves every
core in it and update.sh distributes it. The other 10 ports have no generator
and get their own file.
Add the toolchain files those ports select, following the shape of
cmake/cortex_a9.cmake. AArch64 needs a base file of its own rather than a
variant of arm-none-eabi.cmake: it has no -marm or -mthumb to choose between and
no -mfloat-abi, and aarch64-none-elf-gcc rejects -mlong-calls outright, so that
flag cannot be carried across. The tools are named without a path, unlike
cmake/cortex_r52.cmake which pins one, because pinning 30 files to a single
machine's directory layout is the problem the previous change removed from the
launch configurations.
Three toolchain files cover ports that already had a CMakeLists.txt but no way
to select it: the Armv8-M mainline gnu ports, cortex_m33, cortex_m55 and
cortex_m85. Without cmake/<arch>.cmake the documented invocation cannot reach
them.
The top level needed one fix. It derives the SMP port directory as
<arch>_smp, but ports_smp/linux and ports_smp/win64 predate that convention and
carry no suffix, so those two could never be configured. Fall back to the bare
name when the suffixed directory is absent. The check only fires when the
suffixed directory does not exist, so no port that already resolved changes
behaviour, and ports_smp/win64's existing CMakeLists.txt becomes reachable too.
Verified by configuring and building every one: 53 of 53 static libraries build
with cmake -G Ninja, using Arm GNU Toolchain 14.3.Rel1 for both arm-none-eabi
and aarch64-none-elf. That covers the 44 new ports plus the 9 that already
worked, and includes ports_smp/linux, which failed before the fallback.
scripts/check_ports.sh passes, so the three templates and their 34 generated
copies agree.
Six gnu ports are still outside the CMake build, all for want of a compiler
rather than a CMakeLists.txt: rxv1, rxv2 and rxv3 need the Renesas RX GNU
toolchain and mips32_interaptiv_smp needs a MIPS one, neither of which is
available here, so writing toolchain files for them would mean shipping
untested guesses. risc-v32 and risc-v64 already build through their own
differently named toolchain files.

way (#593)
The gnu ports are only ever built with GNU tooling, and GNU as accepts several
non-canonical forms that LLVM's assembler rejects. Nothing noticed, because
nothing built them with anything else. This matters beyond clang itself: Arm
Toolchain for Embedded is LLVM based and is the successor to Arm Compiler 6, so
these are the code paths ac6 users move onto.
Seven files needed changing, none of which alters the emitted code:
LDREX and STREX take no offset in A32 state; the #imm form is Thumb-2 only. GNU
as drops the redundant zero, LLVM rejects it. Removed from the Cortex-A5, A7 and
A9 SMP protect routines.
ARMv8-M Baseline has no flag-preserving MOV immediate, so GNU as already emits
MOVS. Writing MOVS in the two Cortex-M23 sources says what the assembler was
doing anyway. One of them sits in a branch only compiled for the single mode
secure configurations, which is why it had never surfaced.
The Cortex-M0 schedule routine wrote LDR r0, =#0x10000000 with a stray hash,
which its own sibling file already wrote correctly.
The Cortex-M0 system return routine selected the numbered subsection .text 32,
which makes LLVM place the constant pool beyond the range a Thumb-1 PC relative
load can reach. Plain .text fixes it and GNU accepts either form. The reason is
recorded in the file, since 32 files pair a numbered subsection with a literal
pool load and the rest only escape because Thumb-2 and A32 have far more range.
Add scripts/check_clang.sh, which assembles every Arm gnu port source and
compiles the common C sources for one core per architecture profile, and a
clang_check workflow that installs Arm Toolchain for Embedded and runs it. The
toolchain version is pinned and checksum verified, for the same reason the
runner image is pinned.
The port directory to target mapping in that script is explicit rather than
prefix matched. Prefix matching is what makes cortex_a5 also match cortex_a53
and cortex_a55, which are AArch64, and assembling those as ARM32 produces
hundreds of misleading errors; that mistake cost real time while measuring this,
so the reason is recorded next to the table.
Verified with Arm Toolchain for Embedded 22.1.0: 711 of 711 assembly sources
assemble and 185 of 185 C sources compile for all eight profiles, against 6
assembly failures before the change. arm-none-eabi-gcc still assembles all 315
ARM32 sources, so nothing regressed for GNU. The check was confirmed to fail
when any one of the fixes is reverted.

* Fixed Cortex-A9 SMP time source
Updated Cortex-A9 SMP timestamp reads to use the global timer low counter instead of the decrementing private timer counter. Applied the change to GNU and AC5 ports.
* Fixed remaining Arm SMP time sources
Updated Cortex-A5, Cortex-A7, and Cortex-R8 SMP timestamp hooks so execution profiling uses incrementing time sources instead of the decrementing private timer count register.
Cortex-A5 and Cortex-R8 now read the global timer count low register, matching the Cortex-A9 fix. Cortex-A7 now reads the generic timer physical count register.
