Currently we are using mxcsr register with the bit 6 DAZ enabled.
When the denormals-are-zeros flag is set, the processor
converts all denormal source operands to a zero with the sign
of the original operand before performing any computations on them.
It causes bugs in the SIMD XMM registers computation like #38646
I suggest to disable Denormals-Are-Zeros flag and mask division-by-zero
exception.
Set value to the default 1F80H according to the Intel(R) 64 and IA-32
Architectures Software Developer's Manual.
Fix will let all x86 boards perform SIMD computation using XMM
registers in the correct way.
Fixes#38646

We provide an option for low-memory systems to use a single set
of page tables for all threads. This is only supported if
KPTI and SMP are disabled. This configuration saves a considerable
amount of RAM, especially if multiple memory domains are used,
at a cost of context switching overhead.
Some caching techniques are used to reduce the amount of context
switch updates; the page tables aren't updated if switching to
a supervisor thread, and the page table configuration of the last
user thread switched in is cached.

- z_x86_userspace_enter() for both 32-bit and 64-bit now
call into C code to clear the stack buffer and set the
US bits in the page tables for the memory range.
- Page tables are now associated with memory domains,
instead of having separate page tables per thread.
A spinlock protects write access to these page tables,
and read/write access to the list of active page
tables.
- arch_mem_domain_init() implemented, allocating and
copying page tables from the boot page tables.
- struct arch_mem_domain defined for x86. It has
a page table link and also a list node for iterating
over them.

The x86 paging code has been rewritten to support another paging mode
and non-identity virtual mappings.
- Paging code now uses an array of paging level characteristics and
walks tables using for loops. This is opposed to having different
functions for every paging level and lots of #ifdefs. The code is
now more concise and adding new paging modes should be trivial.
- We now support 32-bit, PAE, and IA-32e page tables.
- The page tables created by gen_mmu.py are now installed at early
boot. There are no longer separate "flat" page tables. These tables
are mutable at any time.
- The x86_mmu code now has a private header. Many definitions that did
not need to be in public scope have been moved out of mmustructs.h
and either placed in the C file or in the private header.
- Improvements to dumping page table information, with the physical
mapping and flags all shown
- arch_mem_map() implemented
- x86 userspace/memory domain code ported to use the new
infrastructure.
- add logic for physical -> virtual instruction pointer transition,
including cleaning up identity mappings after this takes place.

Implement a set of per-cpu trampoline stacks which all
interrupts and exceptions will initially land on, and also
as an intermediate stack for privilege changes as we need
some stack space to swap page tables.
Set up the special trampoline page which contains all the
trampoline stacks, TSS, and GDT. This page needs to be
present in the user page tables or interrupts don't work.
CPU exceptions, with KPTI turned on, are treated as interrupts
and not traps so that we have IRQs locked on exception entry.
Add some additional macros for defining IDT entries.
Add special handling of locore text/rodata sections when
creating user mode page tables on x86-64.
Restore qemu_x86_64 to use KPTI, and remove restrictions on
enabling user mode on x86-64.

- In early boot, enable the syscall instruction and set up
necessary MSRs
- Add a hook to update page tables on context switch
- Properly initialize thread based on whether it will
start in user or supervisor mode
- Add landing function for system calls to execute the
desired handler
- Implement arch_user_string_nlen()
- Implement logic for dropping a thread down to user mode
- Reserve per-CPU storage space for user and privilege
elevation stack pointers, necessary for handling syscalls
when no free registers are available
- Proper handling of gs register considerations when
transitioning privilege levels
Kernel page table isolation (KPTI) is not yet implemented.

We don't need to set up GDT data descriptors for setting
%gs. Instead, we use the x86 MSRs to set GS_BASE and
KERNEL_GS_BASE.
We don't currently allow user mode to set %gs on its own,
but later on if we do, we have everything set up to issue
'swapgs' instructions on syscall or IRQ.
Unused entries in the GDT have been removed.

This commit refactors kernel and arch headers to establish a boundary
between private and public interface headers.
The refactoring strategy used in this commit is detailed in the issue
This commit introduces the following major changes:
1. Establish a clear boundary between private and public headers by
removing "kernel/include" and "arch/*/include" from the global
include paths. Ideally, only kernel/ and arch/*/ source files should
reference the headers in these directories. If these headers must be
used by a component, these include paths shall be manually added to
the CMakeLists.txt file of the component. This is intended to
discourage applications from including private kernel and arch
headers either knowingly and unknowingly.
- kernel/include/ (PRIVATE)
This directory contains the private headers that provide private
kernel definitions which should not be visible outside the kernel
and arch source code. All public kernel definitions must be added
to an appropriate header located under include/.
- arch/*/include/ (PRIVATE)
This directory contains the private headers that provide private
architecture-specific definitions which should not be visible
outside the arch and kernel source code. All public architecture-
specific definitions must be added to an appropriate header located
under include/arch/*/.
- include/ AND include/sys/ (PUBLIC)
This directory contains the public headers that provide public
kernel definitions which can be referenced by both kernel and
application code.
- include/arch/*/ (PUBLIC)
This directory contains the public headers that provide public
architecture-specific definitions which can be referenced by both
kernel and application code.
2. Split arch_interface.h into "kernel-to-arch interface" and "public
arch interface" divisions.
- kernel/include/kernel_arch_interface.h
* provides private "kernel-to-arch interface" definition.
* includes arch/*/include/kernel_arch_func.h to ensure that the
interface function implementations are always available.
* includes sys/arch_interface.h so that public arch interface
definitions are automatically included when including this file.
- arch/*/include/kernel_arch_func.h
* provides architecture-specific "kernel-to-arch interface"
implementation.
* only the functions that will be used in kernel and arch source
files are defined here.
- include/sys/arch_interface.h
* provides "public arch interface" definition.
* includes include/arch/arch_inlines.h to ensure that the
architecture-specific public inline interface function
implementations are always available.
- include/arch/arch_inlines.h
* includes architecture-specific arch_inlines.h in
include/arch/*/arch_inline.h.
- include/arch/*/arch_inline.h
* provides architecture-specific "public arch interface" inline
function implementation.
* supersedes include/sys/arch_inline.h.
3. Refactor kernel and the existing architecture implementations.
- Remove circular dependency of kernel and arch headers. The
following general rules should be observed:
* Never include any private headers from public headers
* Never include kernel_internal.h in kernel_arch_data.h
* Always include kernel_arch_data.h from kernel_arch_func.h
* Never include kernel.h from kernel_struct.h either directly or
indirectly. Only add the kernel structures that must be referenced
from public arch headers in this file.
- Relocate syscall_handler.h to include/ so it can be used in the
public code. This is necessary because many user-mode public codes
reference the functions defined in this header.
- Relocate kernel_arch_thread.h to include/arch/*/thread.h. This is
necessary to provide architecture-specific thread definition for
'struct k_thread' in kernel.h.
- Remove any private header dependencies from public headers using
the following methods:
* If dependency is not required, simply omit
* If dependency is required,
- Relocate a portion of the required dependencies from the
private header to an appropriate public header OR
- Relocate the required private header to make it public.
This commit supersedes #20047, addresses #19666, and fixes#3056.
