3b8e1fa8df doc: kernel: Clarify relationship between direct and ZLI interrupts
The documentation did not state clearly that any zero-latency IRQ must
also be declared as a direct ISR. This is critical because failure to do
so may cause race conditions between the ZLI and regular ISRs when
executing the preable/postamble code in regular interrupts.

25fe4745e6 doc: kernel: fatal: update "Build Assertions" section intro paragraph
A long time ago, Zephyr had two macros that could be used for build-time
assertions: BUILD_ASSERT() and BUILD_ASSERT_MSG(). The latter has been
dropped in v2.7 and removed from the documentation; however, the intro
paragraph of the "Build Assertions" section has never been updated to
reflect this, and still confusingly claims that "Zephyr provides two
macros for performing build-time assertions" when only BUILD_ASSERT()
remains.

Update the introductory paragraph of "Build Assertions" section such that
it makes sense now that only one build-time assertion macro exists.

29ae9e3435 kernel/pipe: implement direct-to-pending-readers data copy
If there are pending readers, it is best to perform a single data copy
directly into their final destination buffer rather than doing one copy
into the ring buffer just to immediately copy the same data out of it.

Incidentally, this allows for supporting pipes with no ring buffer at all.

The pipe implementation being deprecated has a similar capability so better
have it here too.

46aa6717ff Revert "arch: deprecate _current"
Mostly a revert of commit b1def7145f ("arch: deprecate `_current`").

This commit was part of PR #80716 whose initial purpose was about providing
an architecture specific optimization for _current. The actual deprecation
was sneaked in later on without proper discussion.

The Zephyr core always used _current before and that was fine. It is quite
prevalent as well and the alternative is proving rather verbose.
Furthermore, as a concept, the "current thread" is not something that is
necessarily architecture specific. Therefore the primary abstraction
should not carry the arch_ prefix.

Hence this revert.

746c59c82a arch: kernel: lib: toolchain: Standardize TLS keyword
Up until now, the `__thread` keyword has been used for declaring
variables as Thread local storage. However, `__thread` is a GNU
specific keyword which thus limits compatibility with other
toolchains (for instance IAR).

This PR intoduces a new macro `Z_THREAD_LOCAL` which expands to the
corresponding C11, C23 or C++11 standard keyword based on the standard
that is specified during compilation, else it uses the old `__thread`
keyword.

0bcdae2c62 kernel: Add CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_DIRECTED_IPIS
Platforms that support IPIs allow them to be broadcast via the
new arch_sched_broadcast_ipi() routine (replacing arch_sched_ipi()).
Those that also allow IPIs to be directed to specific CPUs may
use arch_sched_directed_ipi() to do so.

As the kernel has the capability to track which CPUs may need an IPI
(see CONFIG_IPI_OPTIMIZE), this commit updates the signalling of
tracked IPIs to use the directed version if supported; otherwise
they continue to use the broadcast version.

Platforms that allow directed IPIs may see a significant reduction
in the number of IPI related ISRs when CONFIG_IPI_OPTIMIZE is
enabled and the number of CPUs increases.  These platforms can be
identified by the Kconfig option CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_DIRECTED_IPIS.

2. Use `k_poll_signal_check()` instead of accessing fields directly.
3. Use `k_poll_signal_reset()` to reset the signal instead of
