Let's use standard C++ list initialization (C++11 and up) instead.
Designated initializatin is going to C++20,

The implementation of Z_TIMEOUT_US() and Z_TIMEOUT_NS() in the legacy
timeout API is incorrect in that it multiplies the input value by the
scale factor rather than dividing it, making K_USEC(3) equivalent to
K_SECONDS(3). Replace with implementation that doesn't surprise a

Add support for "absolute" timeouts, which are expressed relative to
system uptime instead of deltas from current time. These allow for
more race-resistant code to be written by allowing application code to
do a single timeout computation, once, and then reuse the timeout
value even if the thread wakes up and needs to suspend again later.

Add a CONFIG_TIMEOUT_64BIT kconfig that, when selected, makes the
k_ticks_t used in timeout computations pervasively 64 bit. This will
allow much longer timeouts and much faster (i.e. more precise) tick
rates. It also enables the use of absolute (not delta) timeouts in an
upcoming commit.

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.

Kernel timeouts have always been a 32 bit integer despite the
existence of generation macros, and existing code has been
inconsistent about using them. Upcoming commits are going to make the
timeout arguments opaque, so fix things up to be rigorously correct.
Changes include:
+ Adding a K_TIMEOUT_EQ() macro for code that needs to compare timeout
values for equality (e.g. with K_FOREVER or K_NO_WAIT).
+ Adding a k_msleep() synonym for k_sleep() which can continue to take
integral arguments as k_sleep() moves away to timeout arguments.
+ Pervasively using the K_MSEC(), K_SECONDS(), et. al. macros to
generate timeout arguments.
+ Removing the usage of K_NO_WAIT as the final argument to
K_THREAD_DEFINE(). This is just a count of milliseconds and we need
to use a zero.
This patch include no logic changes and should not affect generated
code at all.

The addition of API to correctly handle conversion between durations
in different clocks inadvertently changed the type of the value
produced by the API. Specific changes were:
s32_t z_ms_to_ticks(s32_t t) =>
u32_t k_ms_to_ticks_ceil32(u32_t t) : signedness change
s32_t __ticks_to_us(s32_t t) =>
u64_t k_ticks_to_us_floor64(u64_t t) : signedness and rank change
s32_t z_us_to_ticks(s32_t t) =>
u64_t k_us_to_ticks_ceil64(u64_t t) : signedness and rank change
int sys_clock_hw_cycles_per_tick() =>
u32_t k_ticks_to_cyc_floor32(1) : signedness change
The effect of this is to change the essential type of operands in
existing expressions, potentially resulting in behavior changes when
calculations were promoted to unsigned types, or code size by
requiring 64-bot arithmetic.
Add casts as necessary to preserve the original return type, and to
explicitly recognize impact of passing macro parameters into a context
where a specific type will be used.

Consistently place C++ use of extern "C" after all include directives,
within the negative branch of _ASMLANGUAGE if used.
The inclusion of the generated syscall files is placed outside the
extern "C" block as the generated file has its own extern "C" block.
Background from issue #17997:
Declarations that use C linkage should be placed within extern "C"
so the language linkage is correct when the header is included by
a C++ compiler.
Similarly #include directives should be outside the extern "C" to
ensure the language-specific default linkage is applied to any
declarations provided by the included header.

If the system sets its clock frequency at runtime, this is

Since this is now a system call, store in a temporary variable
inside z_ms_to_ticks(). The syscall overhead only applies
when called from user mode, other contexts are completely
inlined.
Added stub syscall header for mocking framework, to get rid

'_k_' with 'z_'
'_K_' with 'Z_'
'_handler_' with 'z_handl_'
'_Cstart' with 'z_cstart'
'_Swap' with 'z_swap'
This renaming is done on both global and those static function names

are renamed by removing the leading underscore. Other function names
not starting with any prefix listed above are renamed starting with
a 'z_' or 'Z_' prefix.
Function names starting with two or three leading underscores are not
automatcally renamed since these names will collide with the variants
with two or three leading underscores.

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.

Not sure why this was here. The point to this API (which is poorly
explained) is to "round up" requested timeout values to an integer
number of ticks in the future, so the timeouts don't expire too soon.
There's no change of that requirement in tickless mode. While the
"tick" unit will typicaly be a much smaller time (and thus much less
likely to have this kind of aliasing bug), we STILL don't want early
expiration.
And as with everything else in tickless, changing this breaks no
tests. So remove it as a needless TICKLESS dependency.
Signed-off-by: Andy Ross <andrew.j.ross@intel.com>
The system tick count is a 64 bit quantity that gets updated from
interrupt context, meaning that it's dangerously non-atomic and has to
be locked. The core kernel clock code did this right.
But the value was also exposed to the rest of the universe as a global
variable, and virtually nothing else was doing this correctly. Even
in the timer ISRs themselves, the interrupts may be themselves
preempted (most of our architectures support nested interrupts) by
code that wants to set timeouts and inspect system uptime.
Define a z_tick_{get,set}() API, eliminate the old variable, and make
sure everyone uses the right mechanism.

This was only used in a few places just to indirect the already
perfectly valid SYS_CLOCK_TICKS_PER_SEC value. There's no reason for
these to ever have been kconfig units, and in fact the distinction
appears to have introduced a hidden/untested bug in the power
subsystem (the two variables were used interchangably, but they were
defined in reciprocal units!).
Just use "ticks" as our time unit pervasively, and clarify the docs to
explain that.

The existing API defined sys_clock_{hw_cycles,ticks}_per_sec as simple
"variables" to be shared, except that they were only real storage in
certain modes (the HPET driver, basically) and everywhere else they
were a build constant.
Properly, these should be an API defined by the timer driver (who
controls those rates) and consumed by the clock subsystem. So give
them function syntax as a stepping stone to get there.
Note that this also removes the deprecated variable
_sys_clock_us_per_tick rather than give it the same treatment.
