Clean up space errors and use a consistent style throughout the Kconfig
files. This makes reading the Kconfig files more distraction-free, helps
with grepping, and encourages the same style getting copied around
everywhere (meaning another pass hopefully won't be needed).
Go for the most common style:
- Indent properties with a single tab, including for choices.
Properties on choices work exactly the same syntactically as
properties on symbols, so not sure how the no-indentation thing
happened.
- Indent help texts with a tab followed by two spaces
- Put a space between 'config' and the symbol name, not a tab. This
also helps when grepping for definitions.
- Do '# A comment' instead of '#A comment'
I tweaked Kconfiglib a bit to find most of the stuff.
Some help texts were reflowed to 79 columns with 'gq' in Vim as well,
though not all, because I was afraid I'd accidentally mess up

When tickless is available, all existing devices can handle much
higher timing precision than 10ms. A 10kHz default seems acceptable
without introducing too much range limitation (rollover for a signed
time delta will happen at 2.5 days). Leave the 100 Hz default in
place for ticked configurations, as those are going to be special
purpose usages where the user probably actually cares about interrupt
rate.
Note that the defaulting logic interacts with an obscure trick:
setting the tick rate to zero would indicate "no clock exists" to the
configuration (some platforms use this to drop code from the build).
But now that becomes a kconfig cycle, so to break it we expose
CONFIG_SYS_CLOCK_EXISTS as an app-defined tunable and not a derived
value from the tick rate. Only one test actually did this.

This mechanism had multiple problems:
- Missing parameter documentation strings.
- Multiple calls to k_thread_name_set() from user
mode would leak memory, since the copied string was never
freed
- k_thread_name_get() returns memory to user mode
with no guarantees on whether user mode can actually
read it; in the case where the string was in thread
resource pool memory (which happens when k_thread_name_set()
is called from user mode) it would never be readable.
- There was no test case coverage for these functions
from user mode.
To properly fix this, thread objects now have a buffer region
reserved specifically for the thread name. Setting the thread
name copies the string into the buffer. Getting the thread name
with k_thread_name_get() still returns a pointer, but the
system call has been removed. A new API k_thread_name_copy()
is introduced to copy the thread name into a destination buffer,
and a system call has been provided for that instead.
We now have full test case coverge for these APIs in both user
and supervisor mode.
Some of the code has been cleaned up to place system call
handler functions in proximity with their implementations.

Currently thread abort doesn't work if a thread is currently scheduled
on a different CPU, because we have no way of delivering an interrupt
to the other CPU to force the issue. This patch adds a simple
framework for an architecture to provide such an IPI, implements it
for x86_64, and uses it to implement a spin loop in abort for the case
where a thread is currently scheduled elsewhere.
On SMP architectures (xtensa) where no such IPI is implemented, we
fall back to waiting on an arbitrary interrupt to occur. This "works"
for typical code (and all current tests), but of course it cannot be
guaranteed on such an architecture that k_thread_abort() will return
in finite time (e.g. the other thread on the other CPU might have
taken a spinlock and entered an infinite loop, so it will never
receive an interrupt to terminate itself)!
On non-SMP architectures this patch changes no code paths at all.

This adds a simple implementation of SMP CPU affinity to Zephyr. The
API is simple and doesn't try to invent abstractions like "cpu sets".
Each thread has an enable/disable flag associated with each CPU in the
system, and the bits can be turned on and off (for threads that are
not currently runnable, of course) using an easy three-function API.
Because the implementation picked requires enumerating runnable
threads in priority order looking for one that match the current CPU,
this is not a good fit for the SCALABLE or MULTIQ scheduler backends,
so it currently can be enabled only for SCHED_DUMB (which is the
default anyway). Fancier algorithms do exist, but even the best of
them scale as O(N_CPUS), so aren't quite constant time and often
require significant memory overhead to keep separate lists for
different cpus/sets.
The intended use here is for apps that want to "pin" threads to
specific CPUs for latency control, or conversely to prevent certain
threads from taking time on specific CPUs to leave them free for fast
response.

Up until now, Zephyr has patched Kconfig to use the last 'default' with
a satisfied condition, instead of the first one. I'm not sure why the
patch was added (it predates Kconfiglib), but I suspect it's related to
Kconfig.defconfig files.
There are at least three problems with the patch:
1. It's inconsistent with how Kconfig works in other projects, which
might confuse newcomers.
2. Due to oversights, earlier 'range' properties are still preferred,
as well as earlier 'default' properties on choices.
In addition to being inconsistent, this makes it impossible to
override 'range' properties and choice 'default' properties if the
base definition of the symbol/choice already has 'range'/'default'
properties.
I've seen errors caused by the inconsistency, and I suspect there
are more.
3. A fork of Kconfiglib that adds the patch needs to be maintained.
Get rid of the patch and go back to standard Kconfig behavior, as
follows:
1. Include the Kconfig.defconfig files first instead of last in
Kconfig.zephyr.
2. Include boards/Kconfig and arch/<arch>/Kconfig first instead of
last in arch/Kconfig.
3. Include arch/<arch>/soc/*/Kconfig first instead of last in
arch/<arch>/Kconfig.
4. Swap a few other 'source's to preserve behavior for some scattered
symbols with multiple definitions.
Swap 'source's in some no-op cases too, where it might match the
intent.
5. Reverse the defaults on symbol definitions that have more than one
default.
Skip defaults that are mutually exclusive, e.g. where each default
has an 'if <some board>' condition. They are already safe.
6. Remove the prefer-later-defaults patch from Kconfiglib.
Testing was done with a Python script that lists all Kconfig
symbols/choices with multiple defaults, along with a whitelist of fixed
symbols. The script also verifies that there are no "unreachable"
defaults hidden by defaults without conditions
As an additional test, zephyr/.config was generated before and after the
change for several samples and checked to be identical (after sorting).
This commit includes some default-related cleanups as well:
- Simplify some symbol definitions, e.g. where a default has 'if FOO'
when the symbol already has 'depends on FOO'.
- Remove some redundant 'default ""' for string symbols. This is the
implicit default.
Piggyback fixes for swapped ranges on BT_L2CAP_RX_MTU and
BT_L2CAP_TX_MTU (caused by confusing inconsistency).
Piggyback some fixes for style nits too, e.g. unindented help texts.

This patch adds a set of priorities at the (numerically) lowest end of
the range which have "meta-irq" behavior. Runnable threads at these
priorities will always be scheduled before threads at lower
priorities, EVEN IF those threads are otherwise cooperative and/or
have taken a scheduler lock.
Making such a thread runnable in any way thus has the effect of
"interrupting" the current task and running the meta-irq thread
synchronously, like an exception or system call. The intent is to use
these priorities to implement "interrupt bottom half" or "tasklet"
behavior, allowing driver subsystems to return from interrupt context
but be guaranteed that user code will not be executed (on the current
CPU) until the remaining work is finished.
As this breaks the "promise" of non-preemptibility granted by the
current API for cooperative threads, this tool probably shouldn't be
used from application code.

+ The old static multi-queue implementation is gone and has been
replaced with a build-time choice of either a "dumb" list
implementation (faster and significantly smaller for apps with only
a few threads) or a balanced tree queue which scales well to
arbitrary numbers of threads and priority levels. This is
controlled via the CONFIG_SCHED_DUMB kconfig variable.

threads were waiting on a single object. This can be selected via

The existing __swap() mechanism is too high level for some
applications because of its scheduler-awareness. This introduces a
new _arch_switch() mechanism, which is a simpler primitive that looks
like:
void _arch_switch(void *handle, void **old_handle_out);
The new thread handle (typically just a stack pointer) is specified
explicitly instead of being picked up from the scheduler by
per-architecture code, and on return the "old" thread handle that got
switched out is returned through the pointer.
The new primitive (currently available only on xtensa) is selected

Add the following application-facing memory domain APIs:

k_mem_domain_destroy() - to destroy a memory domain
k_mem_domain_add_partition() - to add a partition into a domain
k_mem_domain_remove_partition() - to remove a partition from a domain
k_mem_domain_add_thread() - to add a thread into a domain
k_mem_domain_remove_thread() - to remove a thread from a domain
A memory domain would contain some number of memory partitions.
A memory partition is a memory region (might be RAM, peripheral
registers, flash...) with specific attributes (access permission,
e.g. privileged read/write, unprivileged read-only, execute never...).
Memory partitions would be defined by set of MPU regions or MMU tables
underneath.
A thread could only belong to a single memory domain any point in time
but a memory domain could contain multiple threads.
Threads in the same memory domain would have the same access permission
to the memory partitions belong to the memory domain.
The memory domain APIs are used by unprivileged threads to share data
to the threads in the same memory and protect sensitive data from
threads outside their domain. It is not only for improving the security
but also useful for debugging (unexpected access would cause exception).

All system calls made from userspace which involve pointers to kernel

validated; userspace should never be able to crash the kernel by passing
it garbage.
The actual validation with _k_object_validate() will be in the system
call receiver code, which doesn't exist yet.
- CONFIG_USERSPACE introduced. We are somewhat far away from having an
end-to-end implementation, but at least need a Kconfig symbol to
guard the incoming code with. Formal documentation doesn't exist yet
either, but will appear later down the road once the implementation is

- In the memory region for RAM, the data section has been moved last,
past bss and noinit. This ensures that inserting generated tables
with addresses of kernel objects does not change the addresses of
those objects (which would make the table invalid)
- The DWARF debug information in the generated ELF binary is parsed to
fetch the locations of all kernel objects and pass this to gperf to
create a perfect hash table of their memory addresses.
- The generated gperf code doesn't know that we are exclusively working
with memory addresses and uses memory inefficently. A post-processing
script process_gperf.py adjusts the generated code before it is
compiled to work with pointer values directly and not strings
containing them.
- _k_object_init() calls inserted into the init functions for the set of
kernel object types we are going to support so far

Partial implementation of the IEEE 1003.1 pthread API, including
mutexes and condition variables in their default behaviors, and
pthread barrier objects. The rwlock and spinlocks abstractions are
not supported in this commit (both only make sense in the presence of
multiple SMP processors).
Note that this is the IPC mechanisms only. The thread creation API
itself is unsupported: Zephyr threads work differently from pthreads
and don't port cleanly in all cases. Likewise the "_INITIALIZER"
macros from pthreads don't work cleanly here, and _DECLARE macros have
been provided to statically initialize pthread primitives in a manner
more native to Zephyr

Save some memory for small memory systems when running ztests. We have
our own stack in ztest so we should be able to get away reducing down
the main stack.

Introduce a configurable boot delay option (defaulting to none) that
happens right after printing a boot delay banner, #before calling
main() in kernel/init.c:_main(), before taking timestamps for _main()
and once all the infrastructure is in place. Move also the boot banner
to happen after this delay.
The rationale for this is some boards will boot really fast and print
out some test case output in the serial port before the system that is
monitoring the serial port is able to read from the serial port.
This happens in MCUs whose serial port is embedded in a USB connection
which also is used to power the MCU board. When powering it on by
powering the USB port, there is a time it takes the host system to
detect the USB connection, enumerate the serial port, configure it and
load, start and read from the serial port. At this time, it might have
printed the output of the serial port.
While manually it is possible to press a reset button, on automation
setups this adds a lot of overhead and cabling or modifications to the
MCU that are easier (and cheaper) to overcome with this delay. Other
options (like using a separate serial line) might not be possible or
add a lot of cabling and cost, plus it'd also add extra build
configuration.

Commit 1bc2fdc70 ("dts: arm: STM32 boards use DT to configure I2C")
added a new Kconfig option, HAS_DTS_I2C, which should be set when the
target supports configuration of I2C peripherals via Device Tree.
Currently, STM32 targets select this. However, the fact that
HAS_DTS_I2C has no default is causing prompting when building Zephyr
on other targets with DTS. To avoid this and allow builds to complete
as usual, have HAS_DTS_I2C default to n.

This patck adds the stack information into the k_thread data structure.
The information will be set by when creating a new thread (_new_thread)
and will be used by the scheduling process.
