It is now possible to specify the expiry and stop functions
of a statically-defined timer, just as can be done for a
dynamically-defined timer.

Defines an object tracing list for each kernel object type
that supports object tracing, and ensures that both statically
and dynamically defined objects are added to the appropriate list.
Ensure that each static kernel object is grouped together with
the other static objects of the same type. Revise the initialization
function for each kernel type (or create it, if needed) so that
each static object is added to the object tracing list for its
associated type.
Note 1: Threads are handled a bit differently than other kernel
object types. A statically-defined thread is added to the thread
list when the thread is started, not when the kernel initializes.
Also, a thread is removed from the thread list when the thread
terminates or aborts, unlike other types of kernel objects which
are never removed from an object tracing list. (Such support would
require the creation of APIs to "uninitialize" the kernel object.)
Note 2: The list head variables for all kernel object types
are now explicitly defined. However, the list head variable for
the ring buffer type continues to be implicitly defined for the
time being, since it isn't considered to be an core kernel object
type.

Event is such an overloaded and generic term (event logger, *kernel*
event logger, "protocol" events in other subsystems, etc.), that it is
confusing for the name an object. Events are kinda like signals, but not
exactly, so we chose not to name them 'signals' to prevent further
confusion. "Alerts" felt like a good fit, since they are used to "alert"
an application that something of significance should be addressed and
because an "alert handler" can be proactively registered with an alert.

Fleshes out the prototype heap memory pool support
to make it fully operational. Noteworthy changes are
listed below:
Tweaks arguments to k_malloc() and k_free() to be more like
malloc() and free(). Similarly, modifies k_free() to take
no action when passed a NULL pointer.
Now stores the complete block descriptor at the start
of any block allocated from the heap memory pool. This
increases memory overhead by 4 bytes per block, but
streamlines the allocation and freeing algorithms. It also
ensures that the routines will work if the block descriptor
internals are changed in the future.
Now allows the heap memory pool to be defined using the
HEAP_MEM_POOL_SIZE configuration option. This will be the
official configuration approach in the unified kernel.
Also allows the heap memory pool to be defined using the
(undocumented) HEAP_SIZE entry in the MDEF. This is provided
for legacy reasons only.
Co-locates memory pool initialization code to keep the line
that causes memory pool initialization to be done during booting
right next to the routine that does the initialization.

Ensures that all APIs which accept a timeout value wait for at least
the specified amount of time, and do not time out prematurely.
* The kernel now waits for the next system clock tick to occur before
the timeout interval is considered to have started. (That is, the only
way to ensure a delay of N tick intervals is to wait for N+1 ticks
to occur.)
* Gets rid of ticks -> milliseconds -> ticks conversion in task_sleep()
and fiber_sleep() legacy APIs, since this introduces rounding that
-- coupled with the previous change -- can alter the number of ticks
being requested during the sleep operation.
* Corrects work queue API that was incorrectly shown to use a delay
measured in ticks, rather than milliseconds.

Summary of what this includes:
initialization:
Copy from nano_init.c, with the following changes:
- the main thread is the continuation of the init thread, but an idle
thread is created as well
- _main() initializes threads in groups and starts the EXE group
- the ready queues are initialized
- the main thread is marked as non-essential once the system init is
done
- a weak main() symbol is provided if the application does not provide a
main() function
scheduler:
Not an exhaustive list, but basically provide primitives for:
- adding/removing a thread to/from a wait queue
- adding/removing a thread to/from the ready queue
- marking thread as ready
- locking/unlocking the scheduler
- instead of locking interrupts
- getting/setting thread priority
- checking what state (coop/preempt) a thread is currenlty running in
- rescheduling threads
- finding what thread is the next to run
- yielding/sleeping/aborting sleep
- finding the current thread
threads:
- Add operationns on threads, such as creating and starting them.
standardized handling of kernel object return codes:
- Kernel objects now cause _Swap() to return the following values:
0 => operation successful
-EAGAIN => operation timed out
-Exxxxx => operation failed for another reason
- The thread's swap_data field can be used to return any additional
information required to complete the operation, such as the actual
result of a successful operation.
timeouts:
- same as nano timeouts, renamed to simply 'timeouts'
- the kernel is still tick-based, but objects take timeout values in
ms for forward compatibility with a tickless kernel.
semaphores:
- Port of the nanokernel semaphores, which have the same basic behaviour
as the microkernel ones. Semaphore groups are not yet implemented.
- These semaphores are enhanced in that they accept an initial count and a
count limit. This allows configuring them as binary semaphores, and also
provisioning them without having to "give" the semaphore multiple times
before using them.
mutexes:
- Straight port of the microkernel mutexes. An init function is added to
allow defining them at runtime.
pipes:
- straight port
timers:
- amalgamation of nano and micro timers, with all functionalities
intact.
events:
- re-implementation, using semaphores and workqueues.
mailboxes:
- straight port
message queues:
- straight port of microkernel FIFOs
memory maps:
- straight port
workqueues:
- Basically, have all APIs follow the k_ naming rule, and use the _timeout
subsystem from the unified kernel directory, and not the _nano_timeout
one.
stacks:
- Port of the nanokernel stacks. They can now have multiple threads
pending on them and threads can wait with a timeout.
LIFOs:
- Straight port of the nanokernel LIFOs.
FIFOs:
- Straight port of the nanokernel FIFOs.
