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.

This is aligned with the documentation which states that an error shall
be returned if the work has been completed:
'-EINVAL Work item is being processed or has completed its work.'
Though in order to be able to resubmit from the handler itself it needs
to be able to distinct when the work is already completed so instead of
-EINVAL it return -EALREADY when the work is considered to be completed.

There was a detected user error in the code where racing insertions of
k_delayed_work items into different queues would be detected and
flagged as an error (honestly I don't see much value there -- Zephyr
doesn't as a general rule protect against errors like this, and
work_q's are inherently kernel things that don't require
userspace-style checking).
This got broken with spinlockification, where each work_q object got
its own lock, so the single lock wouldn't protect against the other
insert function any more. As it happens, that was needless. The core
synchronization on a work_q is in the internal k_queue object anyway
-- the lock in this file was only ever used for (very fast,
noncontending) delayed work insertion. So go back to a global lock to
preserve the original behavior.

Update reserved function names starting with one underscore, replacing
them as follows:
'_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
in kernel/include and include/. Other static function names in kernel/
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.
Various generator scripts have also been updated as well as perf,
linker and usb files. These are

Work queues are implemented in terms of k_queue objects which provide
their own synchronization. In particular insertion is potentially
blocking and always acts as a reschedule point, which means that it
must not be called with spinlocks held.
Release the lock first, and do a little cleanup of the resulting
k_delayed_work_submit_to_queue() logic.

Each work_q object gets a separate spinlock to synchronize access

As discovered in https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr/issues/5952
...a duplicate call to k_delayed_work_submit_to_queue() on a work item
whose timeout had expired but which had not yet executed (i.e. it was
pending in the queue for the active work queue thread) would fail,
because the cancellation step wouldn't clear the PENDING bit, causing
the resubmission to see the object in an invalid state. Trivially
fixed by adding a bit clear.
It also turns out that the behavior of the code doesn't match the
docs, which state that a PENDING work item is not supposed to be
cancelled at all. Fix the docs to remove that.
And on yet further review, it turns out that there's no way to make a
test like the one in the linked bug threadsafe. The work queue does
no synchronization by design, so if the user code does no external
synchronization it might very well clobber the running handler. Added
a sentence to the docs to reflect this gotcha.

Currently this is defined as a k_thread_stack_t pointer.
However this isn't correct, stacks are defined as arrays. Extern
references to k_thread_stack_t doesn't work properly as the compiler
treats it as a pointer to the stack array and not the array itself.
Declaring as an unsized array of k_thread_stack_t doesn't work
well either. The least amount of confusion is to leave out the
pointer/array status completely, use pointers for function prototypes,
and define K_THREAD_STACK_EXTERN() to properly create an extern
reference.
The definitions for all functions and struct that use
k_thread_stack_t need to be updated, but code that uses them should
be unchanged.

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

Historically, stacks were just character buffers and could be treated
as such if the user wanted to look inside the stack data, and also
declared as an array of the desired stack size.
This is no longer the case. Certain architectures will create a memory
region much larger to account for MPU/MMU guard pages. Unfortunately,
the kernel interfaces treat both the declared stack, and the valid
stack buffer within it as the same char * data type, even though these
absolutely cannot be used interchangeably.
We introduce an opaque k_thread_stack_t which gets instantiated by
K_THREAD_STACK_DECLARE(), this is no longer treated by the compiler
as a character pointer, even though it really is.
To access the real stack buffer within, the result of
K_THREAD_STACK_BUFFER() can be used, which will return a char * type.
This should catch a bunch of programming mistakes at build time:
- Declaring a character array outside of K_THREAD_STACK_DECLARE() and
passing it to K_THREAD_CREATE
- Directly examining the stack created by K_THREAD_STACK_DECLARE()
which is not actually the memory desired and may trigger a CPU
exception

Unline k_thread_spawn(), the struct k_thread can live anywhere and not
in the thread's stack region. This will be useful for memory protection
scenarios where private kernel structures for a thread are not
accessible by that thread, or we want to allow the thread to use all the
stack space we gave it.
This requires a change to the internal _new_thread() API as we need to
provide a separate pointer for the k_thread.
By default, we still create internal threads with the k_thread in stack
memory. Forthcoming patches will change this, but we first need to make
it easier to define k_thread memory of variable size depending on
whether we need to store coprocessor state or not.
