6f99bdb02a kernel: Provide only one _SYSCALL_HANDLER() macro
Use some preprocessor trickery to automatically deduce the amount of
arguments for the various _SYSCALL_HANDLERn() macros.  Makes the grunt
work of converting a bunch of kernel APIs to system calls slightly
easier.

225e4c0e76 kernel: greatly simplify syscall handlers
We now have macros which should significantly reduce the amount of
boilerplate involved with defining system call handlers.

- Macros which define the proper prototype based on number of arguments
- "SIMPLE" variants which create handlers that don't need anything
  other than object verification

37ff5a9bc5 kernel: system call handler cleanup
Use new _SYSCALL_OBJ/_SYSCALL_OBJ_INIT macros.

Use new _SYSCALL_MEMORY_READ/_SYSCALL_MEMORY_WRITE macros.

Some non-obvious checks changed to use _SYSCALL_VERIFY_MSG.

945af95f42 kernel: introduce object validation mechanism
All system calls made from userspace which involve pointers to kernel
objects (including device drivers) will need to have those pointers
validated; userspace should never be able to crash the kernel by passing
it garbage.

The actual validation with _k_object_validate() will be in the system
call receiver code, which doesn't exist yet.

- CONFIG_USERSPACE introduced. We are somewhat far away from having an
  end-to-end implementation, but at least need a Kconfig symbol to
  guard the incoming code with. Formal documentation doesn't exist yet
  either, but will appear later down the road once the implementation is
  mostly finalized.

- In the memory region for RAM, the data section has been moved last,
  past bss and noinit. This ensures that inserting generated tables
  with addresses of kernel objects does not change the addresses of
  those objects (which would make the table invalid)

- The DWARF debug information in the generated ELF binary is parsed to
  fetch the locations of all kernel objects and pass this to gperf to
  create a perfect hash table of their memory addresses.

- The generated gperf code doesn't know that we are exclusively working
  with memory addresses and uses memory inefficently. A post-processing
  script process_gperf.py adjusts the generated code before it is
  compiled to work with pointer values directly and not strings
  containing them.

- _k_object_init() calls inserted into the init functions for the set of
  kernel object types we are going to support so far

65a9d2a94a kernel: make K_.*_INITIALIZER private to kernel
Upcoming memory protection features will be placing some additional
constraints on kernel objects:

- They need to reside in memory owned by the kernel and not the
application
- Certain kernel object validation schemes will require some run-time
initialization of all kernel objects before they can be used.

Per Ben these initializer macros were never intended to be public. It is
not forbidden to use them, but doing so requires care: the memory being
initialized must reside in kernel space, and extra runtime
initialization steps may need to be peformed before they are fully
usable as kernel objects. In particular, kernel subsystems or drivers
whose objects are already in kernel memory may still need to use these
macros if they define kernel objects as members of a larger data
structure.

It is intended that application developers instead use the
K_<object>_DEFINE macros, which will automatically put the object in the
right memory and add them to a section which can be iterated over at
boot to complete initiailization.

There was no K_WORK_DEFINE() macro for creating struct k_work objects,
this is now added.

k_poll_event and k_poll_signal are intended to be instatiated from
application memory and have not been changed.

cc334c7273 Convert remaining code to using newly introduced integer sized types
Convert code to use u{8,16,32,64}_t and s{8,16,32,64}_t instead of C99
integer types.  This handles the remaining includes and kernel, plus
touching up various points that we skipped because of include
dependancies.  We also convert the PRI printf formatters in the arch
code over to normal formatters.

ac74d8b652 license: Replace Apache boilerplate with SPDX tag
Replace the existing Apache 2.0 boilerplate header with an SPDX tag
throughout the zephyr code tree. This patch was generated via a
script run over the master branch.

Also updated doc/porting/application.rst that had a dependency on
line numbers in a literal include.

Manually updated subsys/logging/sys_log.c that had a malformed
header in the original file.  Also cleanup several cases that already
had a SPDX tag and we either got a duplicate or missed updating.
