2007-03-27  Paolo Mantegazza <mantegazza@aero.polimi.it>

        * base/ipc/netrpc/netrpc.c: force asmlinkage using a variable

	  task to 0 in __task_init. Otherwise there could be cases in which

	  and cond_wait_until.

2006-07-31  Roberto Bucher <roberto.bucher@supsi.ch>

	* rtai-lab/scilab/: Changed most of the file because of the new Code 
	generator (Universal Code generator) and porting of the Scicos functions 
	from type "2004" to type "4". The new scicos block interfaces have the 
	name rtai4_xxxxxxxx. The old one (rtai_xxxxxx) are still provided for
	compatibility with old block diagrams.

2006-07-31  Paolo Mantegazza <mantegazza@aero.polimi.it>

	  completes base RTDM testing, that has been already verified to 
	  work also with RTDM based 16550A.

2005-12-22  Roberto Bucher  <roberto.bucher@supsi.ch>

        * rtai-lab/matlab/rtmain.c: Applied patch from Marco Romagnoli and

	  x86 task priority registers: in switching back and forth Linux, 
	  inline and macro for anything a user might want to do on her/his
	  own, utility to initialise high irqs Linux does not know; requires
	  local APIC.
	* base/arch/i386/hal/hal.*: uses taskpri when enabled.
	* base/sched/sched.c: uses taskpri when enabled.

2005-09-06  Paolo Mantegazza  <mantegazza@aero.polimi.it>

	* base/sched/sched.c: changed oneshot programming to improve 
	  latencies for relatively long time span firings with uncalibrated

	* base/ipc/shm/shm.c and base/sched/sys.c: use max_slots variable and
	  not MAX_SLOTS macro, they differ in hashed registry.
	* base/sched/api.c: added a missing loop over registered objects to be
	  released at task existing, export max_slots, clean unused code.

2005-08-26  Daniele Gasperini  <gasperin@elet.polimi.it> and

	* include/asm-i386/rtai_lxrt.h: got rid of the long time unused local

	* base/sched/sys.c: used rt_copy-from/to, rt_put/get (for user space
	  data exchange) defined as arch dependent in asm/rtai_lxrt; modified 
	  the way is_hard is used, 0-soft, 1-hard, -1-tobehard; fixed a bug in 
	  the resizing of per task intertask messaging buffers.

2005-07-27  Paolo Mantegazza  <mantegazza@aero.polimi.it>

	* sched/sys.c: returns the pointer to the a newly initilised linux
	  syscalls server and resume the server thread.
	* sched/api.c: linux syscalls server support functions return a
	  pointer to the appropriate task.
	* sched/sched.c: reinitialise linux syscalls server at each call,
	  as returned by the linux syscall server support function in api.c,
	  so that it is not called again in case it has gone away.
	* include/rtai_sched.h: redeclare linux syscall functions to comply
	  with the above changes;
	* include/rtai_lxrt.h: modify the user part of the syscall server to
	  comply with the above changes.

2005-07-21  Paolo Mantegazza  <mantegazza@aero.polimi.it>

	* base/sched/sched.immed and sys.c: revised and improved managment 
	  of RTAI syscalls, following revision of the encoding of msgs 
	  read/writes.
	* base/ipc/netrpc/netrpc.c: exploits the semplification of the

	  of RTAI syscalls arguments in a single place.
	* base/include/rtai_lxrt.h: simplified encoding of msgs read/writes.
	* base/include/rtai_netrpc.h: inheredits the encoding of rtai_lxrt.h,

2005-06-21  Paolo Mantegazza  <mantegazza@aero.polimi.it>

	* base/ipc/fifos/fifos.c: avoid direct initialiasation of a 
	  spinlock, conflicting with Linux 2.6.11.
	* base/include/rtai_shm.h: conditinally define the arch independent 
	  function "remap_page_range", that disappeared in Linux 2.6.11.

2005-06-21  Jan Kiszka  <kiszka@rts.uni-hannover.de>

	* base/include/asm-i386/rtai_fpu.h: FPU support must now care
	  of different versions of Linux 2.6.xx also.

	* base/arch/i386/hal/hal.immed: setting of Linux priority must now
	  account for different versions of Linux 2.6.xx too; rare "device

2005-06-17  Paolo Mantegazza  <mantegazza@aero.polimi.it>

	* base/include/rtai_schedcore.h: pend trasitions to soft mode
	  directly, they are all atomic protected already.
	* base/sched/sched.c: uses above and simplified the trasition to 
	  soft mode handler.

2005-06-16  Paolo Mantegazza  <mantegazza@aero.polimi.it>

	* base/arch/i386/hal/hal.immed: direct vectoring of irqs to the
	  CPU has its tail as for immediate dispatching, to help Linux in
	  the non preemptible case, i.e. under 2.4.xx. It tend to starve
	  otherwise under very very high soft real time load.

2005-06-14  Roberto Bucher  <roberto.bucher@supsi.ch>

        * rtai-lab/scilab/macros/RTAI/RTAICodeGen_.sci: Corrected problem with

2005-05-30  Paolo Mantegazza  <mantegazza@aero.polimi.it>

	* base/arch/i386/hal/hal.immed: rt_printk uses printk directly, 
	  a sync version added also.
	  
2005-05-30  Daniele Gasperini  <gasperin@elet.polimi.it>

	* first port of what needed to use x*6_64.

2005-05-25  Paolo Mantegazza  <mantegazza@aero.polimi.it>

	* base/arch/i386/hal/hal.immed: trap handler modified to use 
	  unwrapped ADEOS event catching.
	* base/sched/sched.immed: all event handlers modified to use
          unwrapped ADEOS event catching; depends on the definition of the
	  macro "UNWRAPPED_CATCH_EVENT", to be defined in rtai_hal.h.
	* base/include/asm-i386/rtai_hal.immed: enabled macro to use 
	  unwrapped event catching.
	* base/arch/i386/patches: modified handle_event to avoid wrapping
	  event and related data.

2005-05-25  Roberto Bucher  <roberto.bucher@supsi.ch>

	dialog box values
	

2005-05-24  Paolo Mantegazza  <mantegazza@aero.polimi.it>

	* base/include/asm/rtai_hal.immed: do not double marking in hard 
	  real time, in cpu_realtime, the depth count is more than enough.
	* base/arch/i386/hal/hal.immed: lock out Linux directly from 
	  interrupt handlers; avoid dispatching irqs completely.
	* base/sched/sched.immed: care of avoiding Linux locking when done
	  in irq handler already, enable immediate sched on ipi without
	  dispatching.

2005-05-23  Roberto Bucher  <roberto.bucher@supsi.ch>

        * rtai-lab/scilab/rtmain.c: Support for continous blocks
        * rtai-lab/scilab/macros/RTAI/*: RTAICodeGen_.sci modified and compatible with 
	  Scilab-3.1 CVS with support for continous blocks
	  Added subdirectory "RT_templates" for tmemplate Makefiles
	  Added New function "SetTarget_.sci" to handle template Makefile and
	  continous code generation.

2005-05-18  Philippe Gerum  <rpm@xenomai.org>

	* configure.in: stop configuring if Linux REGPARMS is set.

2005-05-18  Paolo Mantegazza  <mantegazza@aero.polimi.it>

	* base/include/rtai_malloc.h: practically break any constraint in
	  dynamic memory allocation.

2005-05-13  Paolo Mantegazza  <mantegazza@aero.polimi.it>

        * base/sched/sched.immed: 
	  - changed coding of circular pending lists,
	  - pending wake up macro transferred to rtai_schedcore.h,
	  - parametrised give_back_to_linux to distinguish between raw
	    use and internal hard/soft transitions following Linux use,
	  - use ADEOS virq directly for waking up Linux tasks from RTAI.
        * base/sched/api.c: sleeping tasks wake up substituted with the more
	  general rt_task_masked_unblock, so that it becomes just a #define 
	  subcase of it.
        * base/sched/sys.c: cares of the paremetrised give_back_to_linux.
        * base/arch/i386/hal.immed: 
	  - cleaned unused/useless stuff,
	  - layout restyling,
	  - old cpu affinity state is saved no more, as it could wrongly 
	    restate an unintended mask in case of repeated calls, user must
	    care of it; to such an aim the set affinity function return the
	    previous state,
	  - optional stalling of the RTAI domain in hard mode, under control
	    of the STALL_RTAI_DOMAIN macro,
        * base/include/asm-i386/rtai_hal.immed: changes to support consistency 
	  when STALL_RTAI_DOMAIN is used.
        * base/include/rtai_schedcore.h: defines pending wake up macros for
	  any need. 
        * testsuite/kern/latency/, testsuite/user/latency/: output conforming
	  to 3.2, i.e with overall count of periodic reschedules displayed
	  also.

2005-05-03  Roberto Bucher  <roberto.bucher@supsi.ch>

        * rtai-lab/scilab/macros/RTAI/*: Added new blocks

2005-04-27  Panagiotis Issaris <panagiotis.issaris@mech.kuleuven.ac.be>
	* testsuite/{user,kernel}/{latency,preempt}/display.c: output is now 
	in tabular format and output uses the same units for each test.
	* testsuite/user/latency/display.c: show overall maximum latency.

2005-04-20  Roberto Bucher  <roberto.bucher@supsi.ch>

        * rtai-lab/scilab/macros/RTAI/*: Scicos ports are now set automatically
	* rtai-lab/scilab/devices/*: library files modified for port set automatically
	* rtai-lab/scilab/example/tes.cos: Modifies with the new scicos blocks

2005-04-13  Paolo Mantegazza  <mantegazza@aero.polimi.it>

        * begin new development cycle, aligning to stable vulcano, i.e. 3.2.
