e7d2cc216d unified: Add object tracing support for kernel objects
Defines an object tracing list for each kernel object type
that supports object tracing, and ensures that both statically
and dynamically defined objects are added to the appropriate list.

Ensure that each static kernel object is grouped together with
the other static objects of the same type. Revise the initialization
function for each kernel type (or create it, if needed) so that
each static object is added to the object tracing list for its
associated type.

Note 1: Threads are handled a bit differently than other kernel
object types. A statically-defined thread is added to the thread
list when the thread is started, not when the kernel initializes.
Also, a thread is removed from the thread list when the thread
terminates or aborts, unlike other types of kernel objects which
are never removed from an object tracing list. (Such support would
require the creation of APIs to "uninitialize" the kernel object.)

Note 2: The list head variables for all kernel object types
are now explicitly defined. However, the list head variable for
the ring buffer type continues to be implicitly defined for the
time being, since it isn't considered to be an core kernel object
type.

f703f7d0f6 debug: add target GDB server
The GDB server implements a set of GDB commands, such as read/write
memory, read/write registers, connect/detach, breakpoints, single-step,
continue. It is not OS-aware, and thus provides a 'system-level'
debugging environment, where the system stops when debugging (such as
handling a breakpoint or single-stepping).

It currently only works over a serial line, taking over the
uart_console. If target code prints over the console, the GDB server
intecepts them and does not send the characters directly over the serial
line, but rather wraps them in a packet handled by the GDB client.

270d602efd debug/x86: add runtime info needed by target debuggers
Introduce an x86 interrupt stack frame that contains more information
than the non-debug one, namely the caller-saved GPRs, as well as an API
to retrieve it. Able to handle nested interrupts stack frames.

787b41c8a3 debug: adds object tracing capability to microkernel timers
Microkernel timers are defined at compile time as a static list
but they are allocated dynamically in kernel execution.

The object tracing list will only list those timers that are
currently allocated at debug time. For this reason, timers
can be removed from the tracing list at any time.

A very simple double linked list was implemented to reduce the
complexity of the action to remove an item from the list from O(n)
to O(1) and simplify the remove implementation.

caa17577ef debug: kernel's object tracing api
Restructure the kernel's object tracing implementation
to provide a public API that allows debug tools to use
the debug hooks easier and allows kernel developers
to extend the kernel's object tracing scope and include
new kernel objects easier.

The API provides the trace list abstraction to keep track
of different types of kernel objects. The API contains
a simple single-linked list implementation that allows
to save space and simplifies the access to the data for
debug tools such as gdb.

760f191b1e debug: add safe memory access routines
Introduces the following routines to provide safe access to memory:
   _mem_probe()
   _mem_safe_read()
   _mem_safe_write()
   _mem_safe_write_to_text_section()
Those routines will return an error if the memory is not accessible rather
than potentially crash.

This implementation is based on the image's boundaries; thus it allows
read/write access to the data/bss/init sections and read access only to
the text/rodata sections.  All other memory is considered invalid, even
if addressable. This includes the leftover from the RAM at the end of
the image, since there is no support for using it (e.g. there is no
dynamic allocator).
