acc9fb29a3 arm: core: mpu: Add arm core MPU interface
This patch adds the arm core MPU interface, a common way to access the
pu functionalities by the arm zephyr kernel.

The interface can be divided in two parts:
- a core part that will be implemented by the arm_core_mpu driver and
  used directly by the kernel
- a driver part that will be implemented by the mpu drivers and used by
  the arm_core_mpu driver

73cb9586ce k_mem_pool: Complete rework
This patch amounts to a mostly complete rewrite of the k_mem_pool
allocator, which had been the source of historical complaints vs. the
one easily available in newlib.  The basic design of the allocator is
unchanged (it's still a 4-way buddy allocator), but the implementation
has made different choices throughout.  Major changes:

Space efficiency: The old implementation required ~2.66 bytes per
"smallest block" in overhead, plus 16 bytes per log4 "level" of the
allocation tree, plus a global tracking struct of 32 bytes and a very
surprising 12 byte overhead (in struct k_mem_block) per active
allocation on top of the returned data pointer.  This new allocator
uses a simple bit array as the only per-block storage and places the
free list into the freed blocks themselves, requiring only ~1.33 bits
per smallest block, 12 bytes per level, 32 byte globally and only 4
bytes of per-allocation bookeeping.  And it puts more of the generated
tree into BSS, slightly reducing binary sizes for non-trivial pool
sizes (even as the code size itself has increased a tiny bit).

IRQ safe: atomic operations on the store have been cut down to be at
most "4 bit sets and dlist operations" (i.e. a few dozen
instructions), reducing latency significantly and allowing us to lock
against interrupts cleanly from all APIs.  Allocations and frees can
be done from ISRs now without limitation (well, obviously you can't
sleep, so "timeout" must be K_NO_WAIT).

Deterministic performance: there is no more "defragmentation" step
that must be manually managed.  Block coalescing is done synchronously
at free time and takes constant time (strictly log4(num_levels)), as
the detection of four free "partner bits" is just a simple shift and
mask operation.

Cleaner behavior with odd sizes.  The old code assumed that the
specified maximum size would be a power of four multiple of the
minimum size, making use of non-standard buffer sizes problematic.
This implementation re-aligns the sub-blocks at each level and can
handle situations wehre alignment restrictions mean fewer than 4x will
be available.  If you want precise layout control, you can still
specify the sizes rigorously.  It just doesn't break if you don't.

More portable: the original implementation made use of GNU assembler
macros embedded inline within C __asm__ statements.  Not all
toolchains are actually backed by a GNU assembler even when the
support the GNU assembly syntax.  This is pure C, albeit with some
hairy macros to expand the compile-time-computed values.

Related changes that had to be rolled into this patch for bisectability:

* The new allocator has a firm minimum block size of 8 bytes (to store
  the dlist_node_t).  It will "work" with smaller requested min_size
  values, but obviously makes no firm promises about layout or how
  many will be available.  Unfortunately many of the tests were
  written with very small 4-byte minimum sizes and to assume exactly
  how many they could allocate.  Bump the sizes to match the allocator
  minimum.

* The mbox and pipes API made use of the internals of k_mem_block and
  had to be ported to the new scheme.  Blocks no longer store a
  backpointer to the pool that allocated them (it's an integer ID in a
  bitfield) , so if you want to "nullify" them you have to use the
  data pointer.

* test_mbox_api had a bug were it was prematurely freeing k_mem_blocks
  that it sent through the mailbox.  This worked in the old allocator
  because the memory wouldn't be touched when freed, but now we stuff
  list pointers in there and the bug was exposed.

* Remove test_mpool_options: the options (related to defragmentation
  behavior) tested no longer exist.

174f301147 build: simplfy how extra build steps are specified
For various reasons its often necessary to generate certain
complex data structures at build-time by separate tools outside
of the C compiler. Data is populated to these tools by way of
special binary sections not intended to be included in the final
binary. We currently do this to generate interrupt tables, forthcoming
work will also use this to generate MMU page tables.

The way we have been doing this is to generatea "kernel_prebuilt.elf",
extract the metadata sections with objcopy, run the tool, and then
re-link the kernel with the extra data *and* use objcopy to pull
out the unwanted sections.

This doesn't scale well if multiple post-build steps are needed.
Now this is much simpler; in any Makefile, a special
GENERATED_KERNEL_OBJECT_FILES variable may be appended to containing
the filenames to the generated object files, which will be generated
by Make in the usual fashion.

Instead of using objcopy to pull out, we now create a linker-pass2.cmd
which additionally defines LINKER_PASS2. The source linker script
can #ifdef around this to use the special /DISCARD/ section target
to not include metadata sections in the final binary.

0fdc9b5b12 drivers: serial: Clarify usage of TX/RX IRQ predicates.
uart_irq_tx_empty() function proved to be problematic: its semantics
was not documented properly, and many hardware uses terminology like
"TX register empty" to signify condition of TX register being ready
to accept another character (what in Zephyr is tested with
uart_irq_tx_ready()). To avoid confusion, uart_irq_tx_empty() was
renamed to uart_irq_tx_complete(), propagating to drivers/serial
device methods.

The semantics and usage model of all of uart_irq_rx_ready(),
uart_irq_tx_ready(), uart_irq_tx_complete() is now described in

d26cf2dc33 kernel: add k_thread_create() API
Unline k_thread_spawn(), the struct k_thread can live anywhere and not
in the thread's stack region. This will be useful for memory protection
scenarios where private kernel structures for a thread are not
accessible by that thread, or we want to allow the thread to use all the
stack space we gave it.

This requires a change to the internal _new_thread() API as we need to
provide a separate pointer for the k_thread.

By default, we still create internal threads with the k_thread in stack
memory. Forthcoming patches will change this, but we first need to make
it easier to define k_thread memory of variable size depending on
whether we need to store coprocessor state or not.

3f50707672 kernel: queue, fifo: Add cancel_wait operation.
Currently, a queue/fifo getter chooses how long to wait for an
element. But there are scenarios when putter would know better,
there should be a way to expire getter's timeout to make it run
again. k_queue_cancel_wait() and k_fifo_cancel_wait() functions
do just that. They cause corresponding *_get() functions to return
with NULL value, as if timeout expired on getter's side (even
K_FOREVER).

This can be used to signal out of band conditions from putter to
getter, e.g. end of processing, error, configuration change, etc.
A specific event would be communicated to getter by other means
(e.g. using existing shared context structures).

Without this call, achieving the same effect would require e.g.
calling k_fifo_put() with a pointer to a special sentinal memory
structure - such structure would need to be allocated somewhere
and somehow, and getter would need to recognize it from a normal
data item. Having cancel_wait() functions offers an elegant
alternative. From this perspective, these calls can be seen as
an equivalent to e.g. k_fifo_put(fifo, NULL), except that such
call won't work in practice.

7ebe7da736 Bluetooth: controller: Controller to Host flow control
The Bluetooth Specification allows for optional Controller to Host flow
control based on the same credit-based mechanism as the Host to
Controller one. This is particularly useful in 2-chip solutions where
the Host and the Controller are connected via a physical link (UART, SPI
or similar) where the Host is sometimes required to ask the Controller
to throttle its data traffic while still making sure that relevant
events get through the line.

This implementation is based on a simple queue of pending events and
data that is populated whenever the Controller detects that the Host is
out of buffers and then emptied whenever the Host notifies the
Controller that is ready to receive data again. Events relevant to the
connections are also queued to preserve the order of arrival.

At this point the Controller ignores the connection handle sent by the
Host and treats all connections equally, and it also queues events even
for connections that have no data pending in the queue. Both this items
can be improved if necessity arises.

Note that Number of Completed Packets will still flow freely from the
Controller to the Host regardless of the pending ACL data packets, which
might lead to inconsistencies in the sequential order of certain
operations that include bi-directional data transfer.

25307d5331 net: net_pkt_append: Refactor to return length of data actually added
For stream-based protocols (TCP), adding less data than requested
("short write") is generally not a problem - the rest of data can
be sent in the next packet. So, make net_pkt_append() return length
of written data instead of just bool flag, which makes it closer
to the behavior of POSIX send()/write() calls.

There're many users of older net_pkt_append() in the codebase
however, so net_pkt_append_all() convenience function is added which
keeps returning a boolean flag. All current users were converted to
this function, except for two:

samples/net/http_server/src/ssl_utils.c
samples/net/mbedtls_sslclient/src/tcp.c

Both are related to TLS and implement mbedTLS "tx callback", which
follows POSIX short-write semantics. Both cases also had a code to
workaround previous boolean-only behavior of net_pkt_append() - after
calling it, they measured length of the actual data added (but only
in case of successful return of net_pkt_append(), so that didn't
really help). So, these 2 cases are already improved.

or it will use the wrong gateway mac address.
Call net_arp_clear_cache function replace to set arp_table 0.

89ffd44dfb kernel: tickless: Add tickless kernel support
Adds event based scheduling logic to the kernel. Updates
management of timeouts, timers, idling etc. based on
time tracked at events rather than periodic ticks. Provides
interfaces for timers to announce and get next timer expiry
based on kernel scheduling decisions involving time slicing
of threads, timeouts and idling. Uses wall time units instead
of ticks in all scheduling activities.

The implementation involves changes in the following areas

1. Management of time in wall units like ms/us instead of ticks
The existing implementation already had an option to configure
number of ticks in a second. The new implementation builds on
top of that feature and provides option to set the size of the
scheduling granurality to mili seconds or micro seconds. This
allows most of the current implementation to be reused. Due to
this re-use and co-existence with tick based kernel, the names
of variables may contain the word "tick". However, in the
tickless kernel implementation, it represents the currently
configured time unit, which would be be mili seconds or
micro seconds. The APIs that take time as a parameter are not
impacted and they continue to pass time in mili seconds.

2. Timers would not be programmed in periodic mode
generating ticks. Instead they would be programmed in one
shot mode to generate events at the time the kernel scheduler
needs to gain control for its scheduling activities like
timers, timeouts, time slicing, idling etc.

3. The scheduler provides interfaces that the timer drivers
use to announce elapsed time and get the next time the scheduler
needs a timer event. It is possible that the scheduler may not
need another timer event, in which case the system would wait
for a non-timer event to wake it up if it is idling.

4. New APIs are defined to be implemented by timer drivers. Also
they need to handler timer events differently. These changes
have been done in the HPET timer driver. In future other timers
that support tickles kernel should implement these APIs as well.
These APIs are to re-program the timer, update and announce
elapsed time.

5. Philosopher and timer_api applications have been enabled to
test tickless kernel. Separate configuration files are created
which define the necessary CONFIG flags. Run these apps using
following command
make pristine && make BOARD=qemu_x86 CONF_FILE=prj_tickless.conf qemu

0b3322ecae kernel: tickless: Add function to check if list contains multiple nodes
Scheduler needs to do time slicing only if there are multiple threads
active with the same priority. This function checks if the list has
more than one node. This would be used to check the list containing
threads with same priority for multiple nodes.

d4c816abd8 crypto: Remove useless attribute
There is no need of 2 level status reporting, returned code from
synchronous call or the status code in the async callback should be
enough to tell why it did not work.

And this attribute is anyway unused anywhere.

This helps to save 4 bytes, in total, out of struct cipher_pkt.
(3 bytes were lurking around as the status attribute was only 1 byte).

73abd32a7d kernel: expose struct k_thread implementation
Historically, space for struct k_thread was always carved out of the
thread's stack region. However, we want more control on where this data
will reside; in memory protection scenarios the stack may only be used
for actual stack data and nothing else.

On some platforms (particularly ARM), including kernel_arch_data.h from
the toplevel kernel.h exposes intractable circular dependency issues.
We create a new per-arch header "kernel_arch_thread.h" with very limited
scope; it only defines the three data structures necessary to instantiate
the arch-specific bits of a struct k_thread.

ffe74b45fa kernel: Add thread events to kernel event logger
This adds a new event type to the kernel event logger that tracks
thread-related events: being added to the ready queue, pending a
thread, and exiting a thread.

It's the only event type that contains "subevents" and thus has a
non-void parameter in their respective _sys_k_event_logger_*()
function.  Luckily, as isn't the case with other events (such as IRQs
and thread switching), these functions are called from
platform-agnostic places, so there's no need to worry about changing
the assembly guts.

This is the first patch in a series adding support for better real-time
profiling of Zephyr applications.
