We have a collection of python scripts that are part of our build
system. This PR collects docstring comments added to these scripts into
a summary document. Previous references to just the script name in
other documentation are updated to point to this build tool
documentation.
Some of the scripts needed an update to be processed (via include
directives) consistently.

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.
This commit supersedes #20047, addresses #19666, and fixes#3056.

Promote a handy and often-overlooked sys.exit() feature: Passing it a
string (or any other non-int object) prints it to stderr and exits with
status 1.
See the documentation at
https://docs.python.org/3/library/sys.html#sys.exit.
This indirectly prints some errors to stderr that previously went to
stdout.

Getting slightly subjective, but fixes this pylint warning:
scripts/gen_relocate_app.py:228:38: R1714: Consider merging these
comparisons with "in" to "region in ('data', 'bss')"
(consider-using-in)
Use a set literal instead of a tuple literal, as recent Python 3
versions optimize set literals with constant keys nicely.
Getting rid of pylint warnings for a CI check. I could disable any
controversial ones (it's already a list of warnings to enable anyway).

Dictionaries are not ordered in Python 3.5 and before, so building twice
${ZEPHYR_BASE}/samples/application_development/code_relocation/
in a row could lead to a different sections order, different
build/zephyr/include/generated/linker_relocate.d and code_relocation.c
and different binaries.
Fix with a minor change to three "for" loops in the output functions:
make them iterate on sorted(list of sections) instead of the raw and
randomly ordered dictionaries of sections.

Found a few annoying typos and figured I better run script and
fix anything it can find, here are the results...

on non-XIP system, SRAM is the default region, and relocated .data
section and .bss section of SRAM shouldn't be inserted between
_image_rom_start and _image_rom_end, because the memory region between
_image_rom_start and _image_rom_end will construct the mpu ro region.
Also for the newly added memory region on non-XIP system, the
relocated .text secition and .rodata section should also be mpu aligned.
Fixes: #16090.

Discovered with pylint3.
Use the placeholder name '_' for unproblematic unused variables. It's
what I'm used to, and pylint knows not to flag it.
Python tip:
for i in range(n):
some_list.append(0)
can be replaced with
some_list += n*[0]
Similarly, 3*'\t' gives '\t\t\t'.
(Relevant here because pylint flagged the loop index as unused.)
To do integer division in Python 3, use // instead of /.

(OPTIONAL) was a vestiage from the initial import of the Zephyr code
base and we dont utilize it with the GNU linker. Additionally, the way
(OPTIONAL) gets defined to nothing creates a linker script that lld
(from llvm) doesn't like.

This seems to solve the issue with GH-12033. There seems to be
some compiler optimization that was causing this issue. This
occurs only when the build is re-run by invoking cmake without
clearing the previous build.

This script will relocate .text .data and .bss sections from
required files and places it in the required memory region. This
memory region and file are given to this python script in the form
of a string. Refer to the script for the format of this string and
the procedure to invoke it.
The main goal of this script is to provide a robust way to re-order
the memory contents without actually having to modify the code
(C source code and the linker code).
In simple terms this script will do the job of
__attribute__((section("name"))) for a bunch of files together.
