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.

The existing stack_analyze APIs had some problems:
1. Not properly namespaced
2. Accepted the stack object as a parameter, yet the stack object
does not contain the necessary information to get the associated
buffer region, the thread object is needed for this
3. Caused a crash on certain platforms that do not allow inspection
of unused stack space for the currently running thread
4. No user mode access
5. Separately passed in thread name
We deprecate these functions and add a new API
k_thread_stack_space_get() which addresses all of these issues.

Similar to the suspend refactoring earlier, this really nees to be
done in an atomic block. There were two confirmable races here,
though it's not completely clear either was being hit in practice:
1. The bit operations in z_mark_thread_as_started() aren't atomic so
it needs to be protected.
2. The intermediate state in z_ready_thread() could result in a dead
or suspended thread being added to the ready queue if another
context tried a simultaneous abort or suspend.

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.

Historically, these routines were placed in thread.c and would use the
scheduler via exported, synchronized functions (e.g. "remove from
ready queue"). But those steps were very fine grained, and there were
races where the thread could be seen by other contexts (in particular
under SMP) in an intermediate state. It's not completely clear to me
that any of these were fatal bugs, but it's very hard to prove they
weren't.
At best, this is fragile. Move the z_thread_single_suspend/abort()
functions into the scheduler and do the scheduler logic in a single
critical section.

When suspending a thread, cancel any pending timeouts which might wake
it up unexpectedly. Also, make suspending the current thread
(specifically) a schedule point, as callers are clearly going to
expect that to be synchronous.
Also fix a documentation weirdness. The phrasing in the earlier docs
for k_thread_suspend() was confusing: it could be interpreted as
either document the current (essentially buggy) behavior that threads
will "wake up" due to preexisting timeouts, OR to mean that thread
timeouts will continue to be tracked so that resuming a thread that
was sleeping will continue to sleep until the timeout (something that
has never been implemented: k_sleep() is implemented on top of
suspend). Rewrite to document what we actually implement.

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.

Our thread struct gets initialized piecewise in a bunch of locations
(this is sort of a design flaw). The is_idle field, which was
introduced to identify idle threads in SMP (where there can be more
than one), was correctly set for idle threads but was being left
uninitialized elsewhere, and in a tiny handful of cases was turning up
nonzero.
The case in pipes. was particularly vexsome, as that isn't a thread at
all but one of the "dummy" threads used for timeouts (another design
flaw IMHO).

z_spin_lock_valid() reads shared variable twice to do two checkings. If
this variable is modified by other CPU between two read accesses, the
checking value is inconsistent. This inconsistency causes the error
that CPU0 can pass the checking when it doesn't hold spinlock because
zeroed-out thread_cpu value is ambiguous with the CPU0 ID.
Fix the inconsistency by only reading shared variable once and using
local variable value to do two checkings.

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.

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.
