MISRA rules (see #9892) forbid alloca() and family, even though those
features can be valuable performance and memory size optimizations
useful to Zephyr.
Introduce a MISRA_SANE kconfig, which when true enables a gcc error
condition whenever a variable length array is used.
When enabled, the mempool code will use a theoretical-maximum array
size on the stack instead of one tailored to the current pool
configuration.
The rbtree code will do similarly, but because the theoretical maximum
is quite a bit larger (236 bytes on 32 bit platforms) the array is
placed into struct rbtree instead so it can live in static data (and
also so I don't have to go and retune all the test stack sizes!).
Current code only uses at most two of these (one in the scheduler when
SCHED_SCALABLE is selected, and one for dynamic kernel objects when
USERSPACE and DYNAMIC_OBJECTS are set).
This tunable is false by default, but is selected in a single test (a
subcase of tests/kernel/common) for coverage. Note that the I2C and
SPI subsystems contain uncorrected VLAs, so a few platforms need to be
blacklisted with a filter.
