We should not add compiler extensions, it is not our job. We are not a
selfcontained project as kernel is so we should not introduce things
like this.
If we need to add some abstraction for this in the future to support
compilers doing these things differently then we will do that the same
way we dealt with the depricated attribute.
Added --terse and --mailback options to the make stylecheck target. It
also does continue even if it enounters a possible error.
We decided on two exceptions from the linux kernel coding standard:
- Empty wait while loops may end with ; on the same line.
- All blocks after while, if, for have to be in brackets even if they
only contain one statement. Otherwise it is easy to introduce an
error.
Checkpatch needs to be adapted to reflect those changes.
Adding this attribute allows to avoid warnings issued by GCC in cases
when 'scb_reset_system' is used as a last call in a function with
"noreturn" attribute set(usually reset handler of some sorts)
This commit add a structure definition that represents the stack frame
layout as it is upon entering exception handler. This is useful when
one wants to alter the exception return address, or get information
about registers state saved by the CPU.
these register definitions are common to all cortex mcus. some of the
registers might not be implemented everywhere (especially the floating
point registers), but defining them does no harm.
this modification does not result in any changes in the example
binaries.
