Zephyr SMP kernels need to be able to run on architectures with
incoherent caches. Naive implementation of synchronization on such
architectures requires extensive cache flushing (e.g. flush+invalidate
everything on every spin lock operation, flush on every unlock!) and
is a performance problem.
Instead, many of these systems will have access to separate "coherent"
(usually uncached) and "incoherent" regions of memory. Where this is
available, place all writable data sections by default into the
coherent region. An "__incoherent" attribute flag is defined for data
regions that are known to be CPU-local and which should use the cache.
By default, this is used for stack memory.
Stack memory will be incoherent by default, as by definition it is
local to its current thread. This requires special cache management
on context switch, so an arch API has been added for that.
Also, when enabled, add assertions to strategic places to ensure that
shared kernel data is indeed coherent. We check thread objects, the
_kernel struct, waitq's, timeouts and spinlocks. In practice almost
all kernel synchronization is built on top of these structures, and
any shared data structs will contain at least one of them.

Fixes races where threads on another CPU are joining the

the joiners wake up on a different CPU.
Fixes problems where the thread object is still being
used by the kernel when the fn_abort() function is called,
preventing the thread object from being recycled or

Fixes a race where a thread is aborted from one CPU while
it self-aborts on another CPU, that was currently worked
around with a busy-wait.
Precedent for doing this comes from FreeRTOS, which also
performs final thread cleanup in the idle thread.
Some logic in z_thread_single_abort() rearranged such that
when we release sched_spinlock, the thread object pointer
is never dereferenced by the kernel again; join waiters
or fn_abort() logic may free it immediately.
An assertion added to z_thread_single_abort() to ensure
it never gets called with thread == _current outside of an ISR.
Some logic has been added to ensure z_thread_single_abort()

It implements gdb remote protocol to talk with a host gdb during the
debug session. The implementation is divided in three layers:
1 - The top layer that is responsible for the gdb remote protocol.
2 - An architecture specific layer responsible to write/read registers,
set breakpoints, handle exceptions, ...
3 - A transport layer to be used to communicate with the host
The communication with GDB in the host is synchronous and the systems
stops execution waiting for instructions and return its execution after
a "continue" or "step" command. The protocol has an exception that is
when the host sends a packet to cause an interruption, usually triggered
by a Ctrl-C. This implementation ignores this instruction though.

The core kernel computes the initial stack pointer
for a thread, properly aligning it and subtracting out
any random offsets or thread-local storage areas.
arch_new_thread() no longer needs to make any calculations,
an initial stack frame may be placed at the bounds of
the new 'stack_ptr' parameter passed in. This parameter
replaces 'stack_size'.
thread->stack_info is now set before arch_new_thread()
is invoked, z_new_thread_init() has been removed.
The values populated may need to be adjusted on arches
which carve-out MPU guard space from the actual stack
buffer.
thread->stack_info now has a new member 'delta' which
indicates any offset applied for TLS or random offset.
It's used so the calculations don't need to be repeated
if the thread later drops to user mode.
CONFIG_INIT_STACKS logic is now performed inside
z_setup_new_thread(), before arch_new_thread() is called.
thread->stack_info is now defined as the canonical
user-accessible area within the stack object, including
random offsets and TLS. It will never include any
carved-out memory for MPU guards and must be updated at
runtime if guards are removed.
Available stack space is now optimized. Some arches may
need to significantly round up the buffer size to account
for page-level granularity or MPU power-of-two requirements.
This space is now accounted for and used by virtue of
the Z_THREAD_STACK_SIZE_ADJUST() call in z_setup_new_thread.

Add a k_timeout_t type, and use it everywhere that kernel API
functions were accepting a millisecond timeout argument. Instead of
forcing milliseconds everywhere (which are often not integrally
representable as system ticks), do the conversion to ticks at the
point where the timeout is created. This avoids an extra unit
conversion in some application code, and allows us to express the
timeout in units other than milliseconds to achieve greater precision.
The existing K_MSEC() et. al. macros now return initializers for a
k_timeout_t.
The K_NO_WAIT and K_FOREVER constants have now become k_timeout_t
values, which means they cannot be operated on as integers.
Applications which have their own APIs that need to inspect these
vs. user-provided timeouts can now use a K_TIMEOUT_EQ() predicate to
test for equality.
Timer drivers, which receive an integer tick count in ther
z_clock_set_timeout() functions, now use the integer-valued
K_TICKS_FOREVER constant instead of K_FOREVER.
For the initial release, to preserve source compatibility, a
CONFIG_LEGACY_TIMEOUT_API kconfig is provided. When true, the
k_timeout_t will remain a compatible 32 bit value that will work with
any legacy Zephyr application.
Some subsystems present timeout (or timeout-like) values to their own
users as APIs that would re-use the kernel's own constants and
conventions. These will require some minor design work to adapt to
the new scheme (in most cases just using k_timeout_t directly in their
own API), and they have not been changed in this patch, instead
selecting CONFIG_LEGACY_TIMEOUT_API via kconfig. These subsystems
include: CAN Bus, the Microbit display driver, I2S, LoRa modem
drivers, the UART Async API, Video hardware drivers, the console
subsystem, and the network buffer abstraction.
k_sleep() now takes a k_timeout_t argument, with a k_msleep() variant
provided that works identically to the original API.
Most of the changes here are just type/configuration management and
documentation, but there are logic changes in mempool, where a loop
that used a timeout numerically has been reworked using a new
z_timeout_end_calc() predicate. Also in queue.c, a (when POLL was
enabled) a similar loop was needlessly used to try to retry the
k_poll() call after a spurious failure. But k_poll() does not fail
spuriously, so the loop was removed.

Use of the _current_cpu pointer cannot be done safely in a preemptible
context. If a thread is preempted and migrates to another CPU, the
old CPU record will be wrong.
Add a validation assert to the expression that catches incorrect
usages, and fix up the spots where it was wrong (most important being
a few uses of _current outside of locks, and the arch_is_in_isr()
implementation).
Note that the resulting _current expression now requires locking and
is going to be somewhat slower. Longer term it's going to be better
to augment the arch API to allow SMP architectures to implement a
faster "get current thread pointer" action than this default.
Note also that this change means that "_current" is no longer
expressible as an lvalue (long ago, it was just a static variable), so
the places where it gets assigned now assign to _current_cpu->current

On SMP, there is an inherent race when swapping: the old thread adds
itself back to the run queue before calling into the arch layer to do
the context switch. The former is properly synchronized under the
scheduler lock, and the later operates with interrupts locally
disabled. But until somewhere in the middle of arch_switch(), the old
thread (that is in the run queue!) does not have complete saved state
that can be restored.
So it's possible for another CPU to grab a thread before it is saved
and try to restore its unsaved register contents (which are garbage --
typically whatever state it had at the last interrupt).
Fix this by leveraging the "swapped_from" pointer already passed to
arch_switch() as a synchronization primitive. When the switch
implementation writes the new handle value, we know the switch is
complete. Then we can wait for that in z_swap() and at interrupt
exit.
Signed-off-by: Andy Ross <andrew.j.ross@intel.com>
The original intent was that the output handle be written through the
pointer in the second argument, though not all architectures used that
scheme. As it turns out, that write is becoming a synchronization

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.

The intel64 switch implementation doesn't actually use a switch handle
per se, just the raw thread struct pointers which get stored into the
handle field. This works fine for normally initialized threads, but
when switching out of a dummy thread at initialization, nothing has
initialized that field and the code was dumping registers into the
bottom of memory through the resulting NULL pointer.
Fix this by skipping the load of the field value and just using an
offset instead to get the struct address, which is actually slightly
faster anyway (a SUB immediate instruction vs. the load).
Actually for extra credit we could even move the switch_handle field
to the top of the thread struct and eliminate the instruction
entirely, though if we did that it's probably worth adding some
conditional code to make the switch_handle field disappear entirely.

System call arguments, at the arch layer, are single words. So
passing wider values requires splitting them into two registers at
call time. This gets even more complicated for values (e.g
k_timeout_t) that may have different sizes depending on configuration.
This patch adds a feature to gen_syscalls.py to detect functions with
wide arguments and automatically generates code to split/unsplit them.
Unfortunately the current scheme of Z_SYSCALL_DECLARE_* macros won't
work with functions like this, because for N arguments (our current
maximum N is 10) there are 2^N possible configurations of argument
widths. So this generates the complete functions for each handler and
wrapper, effectively doing in python what was originally done in the
preprocessor.
Another complexity is that traditional the z_hdlr_*() function for a
system call has taken the raw list of word arguments, which does not
work when some of those arguments must be 64 bit types. So instead of
using a single Z_SYSCALL_HANDLER macro, this splits the job of
z_hdlr_*() into two steps: An automatically-generated unmarshalling
function, z_mrsh_*(), which then calls a user-supplied verification
function z_vrfy_*(). The verification function is typesafe, and is a
simple C function with exactly the same argument and return signature
as the syscall impl function. It is also not responsible for
validating the pointers to the extra parameter array or a wide return
value, that code gets automatically generated.
This commit includes new vrfy/msrh handling for all syscalls invoked
during CI runs. Future commits will port the less testable code.

The mutex locking was written to use k_sched_lock(), which doesn't
work as a synchronization primitive if there is another CPU running
(it prevents the current CPU from preempting the thread, it says
nothing about what the others are doing).
Use the pre-existing spinlock for all synchronization. One wrinkle is
that the priority code was needing to call z_thread_priority_set(),
which is a rescheduling call that cannot be called with a lock held.
So that got split out with a low level utility that can update the
schedule state but allow the caller to defer yielding until later.

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.

that a prior is higher and lower is impossible. That is wrong per my

priority numbers).
But frankly this was never a very readable macro to begin with.
Refactor to put the bounds into the term, so the static analyzer can
prove it locally, and add a build assertion to catch any errors (there
are none currently) where the low<->high priority range is invalid.
Long term, we should probably remove this macro, it doesn't provide

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.

Obviously on uniprocessor setups, these produce identical code. But

The call to _arch_switch is a giant screaming sign inviting optimizer
bugs. The code that appears before is what happened long ago when we
were switched out, but the version that EXECUTED just now is actually
in a different thread. So the assignment to _current before the
switch actually assigned OUR thread (the "new_thread" of the old
context!) to _current.
But obviously the optimizer looks at that code and assumes that the
_current which got assigned to the thread we were switching to long
ago is still correct, and used it when retrieving the swap return
value.
Obviously the real bug here is that the _arch_switch() in question
lacked a memory clobber (and it's getting one).
But we can remove two lines, remove code from inside the interrupt
lock and make the implementation more robust by moving the read to
after the irq_unlock() (which generally also has a memory clobber).

Now that the API has been fixed up, replace the existing timeout queue
with a much smaller version. The basic algorithm is unchanged:
timeouts are stored in a sorted dlist with each node nolding a delta
time from the previous node in the list; the announce call just walks
this list pulling off the heads as needed. Advantages:
* Properly spinlocked and SMP-aware. The earlier timer implementation
relied on only CPU 0 doing timeout work, and on an irq_lock() being
taken before entry (something that was violated in a few spots).
Now any CPU can wake up for an event (or all of them) and everything
works correctly.
* The *_thread_timeout() API is now expressible as a clean wrapping
(just one liners) around the lower-level interface based on function
pointer callbacks. As a result the timeout objects no longer need
to store backpointers to the thread and wait_q and have shrunk by
33%.
* MUCH smaller, to the tune of hundreds of lines of code removed.
* Future proof, in that all operations on the queue are now fronted by
just two entry points (_add_timeout() and z_clock_announce()) which
can easily be augmented with fancier data structures.

Instead of checking every time we hit the low-level context switch
path to see if the new thread has a "partner" with which it needs to
share time, just run the slice timer always and reset it from the
scheduler at the points where it has already decided a switch needs to
happen. In TICKLESS_KERNEL situations, we pay the cost of extra timer
interrupts at ~10Hz or whatever, which is low (note also that this
kind of regular wakeup architecture is required on SMP anyway so the
scheduler can "notice" threads scheduled by other CPUs). Advantages:
1. Much simpler logic. Significantly smaller code. No variance or
dependence on tickless modes or timer driver (beyond setting a
simple timeout).
2. No arch-specific assembly integration with _Swap() needed
3. Better performance on many workloads, as the accounting now happens
at most once per timer interrupt (~5 Hz) and true rescheduling and
not on every unrelated context switch and interrupt return.
4. It's SMP-safe. The previous scheme kept the slice ticks as a
global variable, which was an unnoticed bug.

The tickless driver had a bunch of "hairy" APIs which forced the timer
drivers to do needless low-level accounting for the benefit of the
kernel, all of which then proceeded to implement them via cut and
paste. Specifically the "program_time" calls forced the driver to
expose to the kernel exactly when the next interrupt was due and how
much time had elapsed, in a parallel API to the existing "what time is
it" and "announce a tick" interrupts that carry the same information.
Remove these from the kernel, replacing them with synthesized logic
written in terms of the simpler APIs.
In some cases there will be a performance impact due to the use of the
64 bit uptime call, but that will go away soon.
Signed-off-by: Andy Ross <andrew.j.ross@intel.com>
The existing API had two almost identical functions: _set_time() and
_timer_idle_enter(). Both simply instruct the timer driver to set the
next timer interrupt expiration appropriately so that the call to
z_clock_announce() will be made at the requested number of ticks. On
most/all hardware, these should be implementable identically.
Unfortunately because they are specified differently, existing drivers
have implemented them in parallel.
Specify a new, unified, z_clock_set_timeout(). Document it clearly
for implementors. And provide a shim layer for legacy drivers that
will continue to use the old functions.
Note that this patch fixes an existing bug found by inspection: the
old call to _set_time() out of z_clock_announce() failed to test for
the "wait forever" case in the situation where clock_always_on is
true, meaning that a system that reached this point and then never set
another timeout would freeze its uptime clock incorrectly.

This fixes#8669, and is distressingly subtle for a one-line patch:
The list iteration code in _handle_expired_timeouts() would remove the
timeout from our (temporary -- the dlist header is on the stack of our
calling function) list of expired timeouts before invoking the
handler. But sys_dlist_remove() only fixes up the containing list
pointers, leaving garbage in the node. If the action of that handler
is to re-add the timeout (which is very common!) then that will then
try to remove it AGAIN from the same list.
Even then, the common case is that the expired list contains only one
item, so the result is a perfectly valid empty list that affects
nothing. But if you have more than one, you get a corrupt cycle in
the iteration list and things get weird.
As it happens, there's no value in trying to remove this timeout from
the temporary list at all. Just iterate over it naturally.
Really, this design is fragile: we shouldn't be reusing the list nodes
in struct _timeout for this purpose and should figure out some other
mechanism. But this fix should be good for now.

The _THREAD_POLLING bit in thread_state was never actually a
legitimate thread "state". It is a clever synchronization trick
introduced to allow the thread to release the irq_lock while looping
over the input event array without dropping events.
Instead, make that flag a word in the "poller" struct that lives on
the stack of the thread calling k_poll. The disadvantage is the 4
bytes of thread space needed. Advantages:
+ Cleaner API, it's now internal to poll instead of being globally
visible.
+ The thread_state bit space is just one byte, and was almost full
already.
+ Smaller code to write/test a full word and not a bitfield
+ Words are atomic, so no need for one of irq lock/unlock pairs.

Recent changes post-scheduler-rewrite broke scheduling on SMP:
The "preempt_ok" feature added to isolate preemption points wasn't
honored in SMP mode. Fix this by adding a "swap_ok" field to the CPU
record (not the thread) which is set at the same time out of
update_cache().
The "queued" flag wasn't being maintained correctly when swapping away
from _current (it was added back to the queue, but the flag wasn't
set).
Abstract out a "should_preempt()" predicate so SMP and uniprocessor
paths share the same logic, which is distressingly subtle.
There were two places where _Swap() was predicated on
_get_next_ready_thread() != _current. That's no longer a benign
optimization in SMP, where the former function REMOVES the next thread
from the queue. Just call _Swap() directly in SMP, which has a
unified C implementation that does this test already. Don't change
other architectures in case it exposes bugs with _Swap() switching
back to the same thread (it should work, I just don't want to break
anything).

selection does not change. New features:

exception of the "cache" trick not being possible in SMP).
+ 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.
+ The balanced tree implementation is usable symmetrically for the
wait_q abstraction, fixing a scalability glitch Zephyr had when many
threads were waiting on a single object. This can be selected via
CONFIG_WAITQ_FAST.

The SMP testing missed the case where _Swap() decides to return back
into the _current. Obviously there is no valid switch handle for the
running thread into which we can restore, and everything blows up.
(What happened is that the new scheduler code opened up a spot where
k_thread_priority_set() does a _reschedule() unconditionally and
doens't check to see whether or not it's needed like the old code).
But that isn't incorrect! It's entirely possible that _Swap() may
find that no thread is runnable except _current (due, for example, to
another CPU racing the other thread you expected off to sleep or
something). Don't blow up, check and return a noop.

There were multiple spots where code was using the _wait_q_t
abstraction as a synonym for a dlist and doing direct list management
on them with the dlist APIs. Refactor _wait_q_t into a proper opaque
struct (not a typedef for sys_dlist_t) and write a simple wrapper API
for the existing usages. Now replacement of wait_q with a different
data structure is much cleaner.
Note that there were some SYS_DLIST_FOR_EACH_SAFE loops in mailbox.c
that got replaced by the normal/non-safe macro. While these loops do
mutate the list in the code body, they always do an early return in
those circumstances instead of returning into the macro'd for() loop,

have no good recourse for cleanup if a check fails.
* In some cases we may want to propagate a return value back

even though the base API doesn't do these checks.
These macros now all return a value, if nonzero is returned

In all cases, if an MPU/MMU region needs to be programmed,
the z_newlib_get_heap_bounds() API will return the necessary

This was wrong in two ways, one subtle and one awful.
The subtle problem was that the IRQ lock isn't actually globally
recursive, it gets reset when you context switch (i.e. a _Swap()
implicitly releases and reacquires it). So the recursive count I was
keeping needs to be per-thread or else we risk deadlock any time we
swap away from a thread holding the lock.
And because part of my brain apparently knew this, there was an
"optimization" in the code that tested the current count vs. zero
outside the lock, on the argument that if it was non-zero we must
already hold the lock. Which would be true of a per-thread counter,
but NOT a global one: the other CPU may be holding that lock, and this
test will tell you *you* do. The upshot is that a recursive
irq_lock() would almost always SUCCEED INCORRECTLY when there was lock
contention. That this didn't break more things is amazing to me.
The rework is actually simpler than the original, thankfully. Though
there are some further subtleties:
* The lock state implied by irq_lock() allows the lock to be
implicitly released on context switch (i.e. you can _Swap() with the
lock held at a recursion level higher than 1, which needs to allow
other processes to run). So return paths into threads from _Swap()
and interrupt/exception exit need to check and restore the global
lock state, spinning as needed.
* The idle loop design specifies a k_cpu_idle() function that is on
common architectures expected to enable interrupts (for obvious
reasons), but there is no place to put non-arch code to wire it into
the global lock accounting. So on SMP, even CPU0 needs to use the
"dumb" spinning idle loop.
Finally this patch contains a simple bugfix too, found by inspection:
the interrupt return code used when CONFIG_SWITCH is enabled wasn't
correctly setting the active flag on the threads, opening up the
potential for a race that might result in a thread being scheduled on
two CPUs simultaneously.

There was a somewhat promiscuous pattern in the kernel where IPC
mechanisms would do something that might effect the current thread
choice, then check _must_switch_threads() (or occasionally
__must_switch_threads -- don't ask, the distinction is being replaced
by real English words), sometimes _is_in_isr() (but not always, even
in contexts where that looks like it would be a mistake), and then
call _Swap() if everything is OK, otherwise releasing the irq_lock().
Sometimes this was done directly, sometimes via the inverted test,
sometimes (poll, heh) by doing the test when the thread state was
modified and then needlessly passing the result up the call stack to
the point of the _Swap().
And some places were just calling _reschedule_threads(), which did all
this already.
Unify all this madness. The old _reschedule_threads() function has
split into two variants: _reschedule_yield() and
_reschedule_noyield(). The latter is the "normal" one that respects
the cooperative priority of the current thread (i.e. it won't switch
out even if there is a higher priority thread ready -- the current
thread has to pend itself first), the former is used in the handful of
places where code was doing a swap unconditionally, just to preserve
precise behavior across the refactor. I'm not at all convinced it
should exist...

The scheduler exposed two APIs to do the same thing:
_add_thread_to_ready_q() was a low level primitive that in most cases
was wrapped by _ready_thread(), which also (1) checks that the thread
_is_ready() or exits, (2) flags the thread as "started" to handle the
case of a thread running for the first time out of a waitq timeout,
and (3) signals a logger event.
As it turns out, all existing usage was already checking case #1.
Case #2 can be better handled in the timeout resume path instead of on
every call. And case #3 was probably wrong to have been skipping
anyway (there were paths that could make a thread runnable without
logging).
Now _add_thread_to_ready_q() is an internal scheduler API, as it
probably always should have been.
This also moves some asserts from the inline _ready_thread() wrapper
to the underlying true function for code size reasons, otherwise the
extra use of the inline added by this patch blows past code size
limits on Quark D2000.

In SMP, the system timer is used for timeslicing on auxiliary CPUs,
but the base system timekeeping via _nano_sys_clock_tick_announce() is

asynchronous notification yet). Skip processing on CPU1+.
Also, due to a hardware interaction* that is difficult to work around,
timer initialization on the auxiliary CPUs is done at the very end of
the CPU bringup, just before the swap into the scheduler. A
smp_timer_init() API has been added for this purpose.

The scheduler needs a few tweaks to work in SMP mode:
1. The "cache" field just doesn't work. With more than one CPU,
caching the highest priority thread isn't useful as you may need N
of them at any given time before another thread is returned to the
scheduler. You could recalculate it at every change, but that
provides no performance benefit. Remove.
2. The "bitmask" designed to prevent the need to individually check
priorities is likewise dropped. This could work, but in fact on
our only current SMP system and with current K_NUM_PRIOPRITIES
values it provides no real benefit.
3. The individual threads now have a "current cpu" and "active" flag
so that the choice of the next thread to run can correctly skip
threads that are active on other CPUs.
The upshot is that a decent amount of code gets #if'd out, and the new
SMP implementations for _get_highest_ready_prio() and
_get_next_ready_thread() are simpler and smaller, at the expense of
having to drop older optimizations.
Note that scheduler synchronization is unchanged: all scheduler APIs
used to require that an irq_lock() be held, which means that they now
require the global spinlock via the same API. This should be a very
early candidate for lock granularity attention!

When in SMP mode, the nested/irq_stack/current fields are specific to
the current CPU and not to the kernel as a whole, so we need an array
of these. Place them in a _cpu_t struct and implement a
_arch_curr_cpu() function to retrieve the pointer.
When not in SMP mode, the first CPU's fields are defined as a unioned
with the first _cpu_t record. This permits compatibility with legacy
assembly on other platforms. Long term, all users, including
uniprocessor architectures, should be updated to use the new scheme.

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).

- syscall.h now contains those APIs needed to support invoking calls
from user code. Some stuff moved out of main kernel.h.
- syscall_handler.h now contains directives useful for implementing
system call handler functions. This header is not pulled in by
kernel.h and is intended to be used by C files implementing kernel
system calls and driver subsystem APIs.
- syscall_list.h now contains the #defines for system call IDs. This
list is expected to grow quite large so it is put in its own header.
This is now an enumerated type instead of defines to make things
easier as we introduce system calls over the new few months. In the
fullness of time when we desire to have a fixed userspace/kernel ABI,
this can always be converted to defines.
Some new code added:
- _SYSCALL_MEMORY() macro added to check memory regions passed up from
userspace in handler functions
- _syscall_invoke{7...10}() inline functions declare for invoking system
calls with more than 6 arguments. 10 was chosen as the limit as that
corresponds to the largest arg list we currently have
which is for k_thread_create()
Other changes
- auto-generated K_SYSCALL_DECLARE* macros documented
- _k_syscall_table in userspace.c is not a placeholder. There's no
strong need to generate it and doing so would require the introduction
of a third build phase.

* Instead of a common system call entry function, we instead create a
table mapping system call ids to handler skeleton functions which are
invoked directly by the architecture code which receives the system
call.
* system call handler prototype specified. All but the most trivial
system calls will implement one of these. They validate all the
arguments, including verifying kernel/device object pointers, ensuring
that the calling thread has appropriate access to any memory buffers
passed in, and performing other parameter checks that the base system
call implementation does not check, or only checks with __ASSERT().
It's only possible to install a system call implementation directly
inside this table if the implementation has a return value and requires
no validation of any of its arguments.
A sample handler implementation for k_mutex_unlock() might look like:
u32_t _syscall_k_mutex_unlock(u32_t mutex_arg, u32_t arg2, u32_t arg3,
u32_t arg4, u32_t arg5, void *ssf)
{
struct k_mutex *mutex = (struct k_mutex *)mutex_arg;
_SYSCALL_ARG1;
_SYSCALL_IS_OBJ(mutex, K_OBJ_MUTEX, 0, ssf);
_SYSCALL_VERIFY(mutex->lock_count > 0, ssf);
_SYSCALL_VERIFY(mutex->owner == _current, ssf);
k_mutex_unlock(mutex);
return 0;
}
* the x86 port modified to work with the system call table instead of
calling a common handler function. fixed an issue where registers being
changed could confuse the compiler has been fixed; all registers, even
ones used for parameters, must be preserved across the system call.
* a new arch API for producing a kernel oops when validating system call
arguments added. The debug information reported will be from the system
call site and not inside the handler function.

This defines the interfaces that architectures will need to implement in
order to support memory domains in either MMU or MPU hardware.

Now creating a thread will assign it a unique, monotonically increasing
id which is used to reference the permission bitfield in the kernel
object metadata.
Stub functions in userspace.c now implemented.
_new_thread is now wrapped in a common function with pre- and post-
architecture thread initialization tasks.

This will be used by system call handlers to ensure that any memory
regions passed in from userspace are actually accessible by the calling
thread.

In various places, a private _thread_entry_t, or the full prototype
were being used. Be consistent and use the same typedef everywhere.

k_timer_start(timer, duration, period) is API used to
start a timer. Currently duration parameters accepts
only positive number.
But a user may require to do some periodic activity
ASAP and start timer with 0 value. So this patch
allows 0 as minimum value of duration.
In this patch, when duration value is set as 0 then
timer expiration handler is called instead of submiting
this into timeout queue.

SYS_DLIST_FOR_EACH_CONTAINER is preferable over using
SYS_DLIST_FOR_EACH_NODE as that avoid casting directly which assumes the
node field is always at the beginning.

Historically, stacks were just character buffers and could be treated
as such if the user wanted to look inside the stack data, and also
declared as an array of the desired stack size.
This is no longer the case. Certain architectures will create a memory
region much larger to account for MPU/MMU guard pages. Unfortunately,
the kernel interfaces treat both the declared stack, and the valid
stack buffer within it as the same char * data type, even though these
absolutely cannot be used interchangeably.
We introduce an opaque k_thread_stack_t which gets instantiated by
K_THREAD_STACK_DECLARE(), this is no longer treated by the compiler
as a character pointer, even though it really is.
To access the real stack buffer within, the result of
K_THREAD_STACK_BUFFER() can be used, which will return a char * type.
This should catch a bunch of programming mistakes at build time:
- Declaring a character array outside of K_THREAD_STACK_DECLARE() and
passing it to K_THREAD_CREATE
- Directly examining the stack created by K_THREAD_STACK_DECLARE()
which is not actually the memory desired and may trigger a CPU
exception

One of the stack sentinel policies was to check the sentinel
any time a cooperative context switch is done (i.e, _Swap is
called).
This was done by adding a hook to _check_stack_sentinel in
every arch's __swap function.
This way is cleaner as we just have the hook in one inline
function rather than implemented in several different assembly
dialects.
The check upon interrupt is now made unconditionally rather
than checking if we are calling __swap, since the check now
is only called on cooperative _Swap(). The interrupt is always
serviced first.

The kernel tracks time slice usage with the _time_slice_elapsed global.
Every time the timer interrupt goes off and the timer driver calls
_nano_sys_clock_tick_announce() with the elapsed time, this is added to
_time_slice_elapsed. If it exceeds the total time slice, the thread is
moved to the back of the queue for that priority level and
_time_slice_elapsed is reset to zero.
In a non-tickless kernel, this is the only time _time_slice_elapsed is
reset. If a thread uses up a partial time slice, and then cooperatively
switches to another thread, the next thread will inherit the remaining
time slice, causing it not to be able to run as long as it ought to.
There does exist code to properly reset the elapsed count, but it was
only compiled in a tickless kernel. Now it is built any time
CONFIG_TIMESLICING is enabled.
