There was a lot of duplication between architectures for the definition
of threads and the "nanokernel" guts. These have been consolidated.
Now, a common file kernel/unified/include/kernel_structs.h holds the
common definitions. Architectures provide two files to complement it:
kernel_arch_data.h and kernel_arch_func.h. The first one contains at
least the struct _thread_arch and struct _kernel_arch data structures,
as well as the struct _callee_saved and struct _caller_saved register
layouts. The second file contains anything that needs what is provided
by the common stuff in kernel_structs.h. Those two files are only meant
to be included in kernel_structs.h in very specific locations.
The thread data structure has been separated into three major parts:
common struct _thread_base and struct k_thread, and arch-specific struct
_thread_arch. The first and third ones are included in the second.
The struct s_NANO data structure has been split into two: common struct
_kernel and arch-specific struct _kernel_arch. The latter is included in
the former.
Offsets files have also changed: nano_offsets.h has been renamed
kernel_offsets.h and is still included by the arch-specific offsets.c.
Also, since the thread and kernel data structures are now made of
sub-structures, offsets have to be added to make up the full offset.
Some of these additions have been consolidated in shorter symbols,
available from kernel/unified/include/offsets_short.h, which includes an
arch-specific offsets_arch_short.h. Most of the code include
offsets_short.h now instead of offsets.h.

An application-supplied main() routine is now considered to be
essential to system operation. Thus, if main() experiences an
error that aborts the main thread a fatal system error is raised.
Note: If main() completes its work and does a standard return-
to-caller the main thread terminates normally.

PRIMARY, SECONDARY, NANOKERNEL, MICROKERNEL init levels are now
deprecated.
New init levels introduced: PRE_KERNEL_1, PRE_KERNEL_2, POST_KERNEL
to replace them.
Most existing code has instances of PRIMARY replaced with PRE_KERNEL_1,
SECONDARY with POST_KERNEL as SECONDARY has had a longstanding bug
where the documentation specified SECONDARY ran before the kernel started
up, but actually ran afterwards.

Enables boot time timestamps for unified kernel.
Also Splits the source code into microkernel and nanokernel versions
instead of having common code. Not only does this make the code for
each project easier to read, but it also easily allows the nanokernel
version to link against the correct version of main().

Before, the kernel would run the main() function twice; first
as an entry in k_task_list, and then again from _main(). The
_main() invocation would be using a potentially insufficient stack
size.
Now if an MDEF file declares a main() thread, invoke it from
_main(), but honor the desired priority and stack size.

Idle thread may need a bigger stack depending on extra work it has to
do, like power management or kernel event logging.

Build breaks when enabling CONFIG_NEWLIB_LIBC because it has its own
sched.h file.
This is a bad symptom of a greater issue: the build system passes many
'-I<path>' options to the compiler, and that allows including header
files by simply specifying their names (when located somewhere else than
<zephyr>/include/) and can cause clashes when several files in different
locations have the same name, like in this case.
Fixes ZEP-1062.

Timers are based off timeouts now, which can only be enabled when the
system clock is enabled. So the three are really just one setting now.
Keep the NANO_TIMERS and NANO_TIMEOUTS around for now until all
middleware that rely on them is updated. They are always enabled when
SYS_CLOCK_EXISTS is enabled.

There is no reason to check if the idle thread is a cooperative thread
before invoking k_yield(); it is safe to unconditionally invoke it every
iteration.
Rationale: If the idle thread is cooperative, k_yield() must be invoked
to allow a new thread to get scheduled to run. If the idle thread is
preemptive, then k_yield() effectively becomes a no-op.

Summary of what this includes:
initialization:
Copy from nano_init.c, with the following changes:
- the main thread is the continuation of the init thread, but an idle
thread is created as well
- _main() initializes threads in groups and starts the EXE group
- the ready queues are initialized
- the main thread is marked as non-essential once the system init is
done
- a weak main() symbol is provided if the application does not provide a
main() function
scheduler:
Not an exhaustive list, but basically provide primitives for:
- adding/removing a thread to/from a wait queue
- adding/removing a thread to/from the ready queue
- marking thread as ready
- locking/unlocking the scheduler
- instead of locking interrupts
- getting/setting thread priority
- checking what state (coop/preempt) a thread is currenlty running in
- rescheduling threads
- finding what thread is the next to run
- yielding/sleeping/aborting sleep
- finding the current thread
threads:
- Add operationns on threads, such as creating and starting them.
standardized handling of kernel object return codes:
- Kernel objects now cause _Swap() to return the following values:
0 => operation successful
-EAGAIN => operation timed out
-Exxxxx => operation failed for another reason
- The thread's swap_data field can be used to return any additional
information required to complete the operation, such as the actual
result of a successful operation.
timeouts:
- same as nano timeouts, renamed to simply 'timeouts'
- the kernel is still tick-based, but objects take timeout values in
ms for forward compatibility with a tickless kernel.
semaphores:
- Port of the nanokernel semaphores, which have the same basic behaviour
as the microkernel ones. Semaphore groups are not yet implemented.
- These semaphores are enhanced in that they accept an initial count and a
count limit. This allows configuring them as binary semaphores, and also
provisioning them without having to "give" the semaphore multiple times
before using them.
mutexes:
- Straight port of the microkernel mutexes. An init function is added to
allow defining them at runtime.
pipes:
- straight port
timers:
- amalgamation of nano and micro timers, with all functionalities
intact.
events:
- re-implementation, using semaphores and workqueues.
mailboxes:
- straight port
message queues:
- straight port of microkernel FIFOs
memory maps:
- straight port
workqueues:
- Basically, have all APIs follow the k_ naming rule, and use the _timeout
subsystem from the unified kernel directory, and not the _nano_timeout
one.
stacks:
- Port of the nanokernel stacks. They can now have multiple threads
pending on them and threads can wait with a timeout.
LIFOs:
- Straight port of the nanokernel LIFOs.
FIFOs:
- Straight port of the nanokernel FIFOs.
