Introduction

Log Area Features (for details of other areas see oceos_areas.h)

The system log area holds the system log and the records of the present and previous values of the system state variable.

It is set up initially as an array of 32-bit words that starts at a 32-bit aligned address provided by the application developer.

It is recommended that this address be in non-volatile RAM memory if this is available to allow information be preserved across power-up cycles.

OCEOS preserves log area information across resets as far as possible.

The system log itself is a circular buffer of struct log entry. Older entries are overwritten by new entries once all entries are in use.

The application developer can specify a function to be called when 3/4 of log entries are in use. This function is called again only after 3/4 of log entries have been read and the log has again become 3/4 full.

The read and write indices are stored in the log area and if equal indicate that the log is empty.

As with other OCEOS data areas, the log area starts with a header

  • a 32-bit word holding a constant OCEOS_VERSION
  • a 32-bit word holding the log area size in 32-bit words
  • a 32-bit word, the system status variable
  • a 32-bit word, the system status mask
  • a 32-bit word, the accumulated system status
  • a 32-bit word, the previous system status mask
  • a 32-bit word, the log control, that gives whether the log full function was called
  • the read index
  • the write index
  • an array of struct log_entry making up the system log itself
  • ending with a 32-bit constant END_SENTINEL

The system fixed meta structure at sysMetaPtr provides

  • system_log_ptr the start address of the log area
  • logEntries the number of log entries
  • logCreated flag indicating log was created successfully
  • logFullFunction user defined function, called when the log becomes 3/4 full (or NULL if not used)

oceos_log_add_entry()

Header File

Description
This function adds an entry to the log. The entry overwrites the oldest unread entry if the log is full. Custom log entries can be added to enum LOG_ENTRY from 0 to 128. The indices are incremented in a circular fashion. If the write index reaches the read_index the read index is moved on, as read and write indices equal would indicate an empty log.

System State Variable and System State Mask

The System State variable provides a record of anomalies or problems detected by OCEOSmp's automatic consistency checks. An application handler for these can be set to be called automatically.

An anomaly or problem results in a flag bit being set in the 32-bit word used to store the system state variable. The flags are identified below.

All flags are reset to zero by oceos_init() when OCEOSmp is initialised, and may also be reset by the application using the directive provided.

To provide a record across OCEOSmp restarts a copy is updated automatically whenever the state variable is updated. This is not cleared by oceos_init() but may be cleared by the application using a directive.

Application software can define a problem handling function to be called automatically when specified system state flags are set. The flags are specified by setting the corresponding bits in the system state mask. The function and the state mask are defined in the system configuration.

Changing a state flag from clear to set results in the function being called (if defined). Subsequent settings of that flag have no effect until after it has been cleared using the directive provided.

N.B. In many cases when OCEOSmp sets a System State flag it also makes an entry in the system log that provides further information.

SYSTEM STATE VARIABLE FLAGS

These flags are updated by OCEOSmp using inclusive 'OR' when a consistency check detects a problem or anomaly. A copy of the system state variable is updated also and accumulates a record of flag settings that is preserved across restarts of OCEOSmp. OCEOSmp restarts reset the system state variable but not the copy.

Resetting the state variables is the responsibility of the application (except for the state variable reset done when OCEOSmp is restarted).
