The original implementation of CONFIG_THREAD_MONITOR would
try to leverage a thread's initial stack layout to provide
the entry function with arguments for any given thread.
This is problematic:
- Some arches do not have a initial stack layout suitable for
this
- Some arches never enabled this at all (riscv32, nios2)
- Some arches did not enable this properly
- Dropping to user mode would erase or provide incorrect
information.
Just spend a few extra bytes to store this stuff directly
in the k_thread struct and get rid of all the arch-specific
code for this.

The metairq feature exposed the fact that all of our arch code (and a
few mistaken spots in the scheduler too) was trying to interpret
"preemptible" threads independently.
As of the scheduler rewrite, that logic is entirely within sched.c and
doing it externally is redundant. And now that "cooperative" threads
can be preempted, it's wrong and produces test failures when used with
metairq threads.

Normally a syscall would check the current privilege level and then
decide to go to _impl_<syscall> directly or go through a
_handler_<syscall>.
__ZEPHYR_SUPERVISOR__ is a compiler optimization flag which will
make all the system calls from the arch files directly link
to the _impl_<syscall>. Thereby reducing the overhead of checking the
privileges.
In the previous implementation all the source files would be compiled
by zephyr_source() rule. This means that zephyr_* is a catchall CMake
library for source files that can be built purely with the include
paths, defines, and other compiler flags that all zephyr source
files uses. This states that adding one extra compiler flag for only
one complete directory would fail.
This limitation can be overcome by using zephyr_libray* APIs. This
creates a library for the required directories and it also supports
directory level properties.
Hence we use zephyr_library* to create a new library with
macro _ZEPHYR_SUPERVISOR_ for the optimization.

MPU devices that enforce power-of-two alignment now
specify the size of the buffer used for the newlib heap.
This buffer will be properly aligned and a pointer
exposed in a kernel header, such that it can be added
to a user thread's memory domain configuration if
necessary.
MPU devices that don't have these restrictions allocate
the heap as normal.
In all cases, if an MPU/MMU region needs to be programmed,
the z_newlib_get_heap_bounds() API will return the necessary
information.
Given how precious MPU regions are, no automatic programming
of the MPU is done; applications will need to do this as
needed in their memory domain configurations.
On x86, the x86 MMU-specific code has been moved to arch/x86
using the new z_newlib_get_heap_bounds() API.

The newly-added hidden CONFIG_X86_NO_SPECTRE flag, which is disabled

Introducing CMake is an important step in a larger effort to make
Zephyr easy to use for application developers working on different
platforms with different development environment needs.
Simplified, this change retains Kconfig as-is, and replaces all
Makefiles with CMakeLists.txt. The DSL-like Make language that KBuild
offers is replaced by a set of CMake extentions. These extentions have
either provided simple one-to-one translations of KBuild features or
introduced new concepts that replace KBuild concepts.
This is a breaking change for existing test infrastructure and build
scripts that are maintained out-of-tree. But for FW itself, no porting
should be necessary.
For users that just want to continue their work with minimal
disruption the following should suffice:
Install CMake 3.8.2+
Port any out-of-tree Makefiles to CMake.
Learn the absolute minimum about the new command line interface:
$ cd samples/hello_world
$ mkdir build && cd build
$ cmake -DBOARD=nrf52_pca10040 ..
$ cd build

1) User mode threads overflowing stack, since it crashes into the
kernel stack page
2) Supervisor mode threads overflowing stack, since the kernel
stack page is marked non-present for non-user threads
Stack overflows will not be caught:
1) When handling a system call
2) When the interrupt stack overflows

This is an introductory port for Zephyr to be run as a Jailhouse
hypervisor[1]'s "inmate cell", on x86 64-bit CPUs (running on 32-bit
mode). This was tested with their "tiny-demo" inmate demo cell
configuration, which takes one of the CPUs of the QEMU-VM root cell
config, along with some RAM and serial controller access (it will even
do nice things like reserving some L3 cache for it via Intel CAT) and
Zephyr samples:
- hello_world
- philosophers
- synchronization
The final binary receives an additional boot sequence preamble that
conforms to Jailhouse's expectations (starts at 0x0 in real mode). It
will put the processor in 32-bit protected mode and then proceed to
Zephyr's __start function.
Testing it is just a matter of:
$ mmake -C samples/<sample_dir> BOARD=x86_jailhouse JAILHOUSE_QEMU_IMG_FILE=<path_to_image.qcow2> run
$ sudo insmod <path to jailhouse.ko>
$ sudo jailhouse enable <path to configs/qemu-x86.cell>
$ sudo jailhouse cell create <path to configs/tiny-demo.cell>
$ sudo mount -t 9p -o trans/virtio host /mnt
$ sudo jailhouse cell load tiny-demo /mnt/zephyr.bin
$ sudo jailhouse cell start tiny-demo
$ sudo jailhouse cell destroy tiny-demo
$ sudo jailhouse disable
$ sudo rmmod jailhouse
For the hello_world demo case, one should then get QEMU's serial port
output similar to:
"""
Created cell "tiny-demo"
Page pool usage after cell creation: mem 275/1480, remap 65607/131072
Cell "tiny-demo" can be loaded
CPU 3 received SIPI, vector 100
Started cell "tiny-demo"
***** BOOTING ZEPHYR OS v1.9.0 - BUILD: Sep 12 2017 20:03:22 *****
Hello World! x86
"""
Note that the Jailhouse's root cell *has to be started in xAPIC
mode* (kernel command line argument 'nox2apic') in order for this to
work. x2APIC support and its reasoning will come on a separate commit.
As a reminder, the make run target introduced for x86_jailhouse board
involves a root cell image with Jailhouse in it, to be launched and then
partitioned (with >= 2 64-bit CPUs in it).
Inmate cell configs with no JAILHOUSE_CELL_PASSIVE_COMMREG flag
set (e.g. apic-demo one) would need extra code in Zephyr to deal with
cell shutdown command responses from the hypervisor.
You may want to fine tune CONFIG_SYS_CLOCK_HW_CYCLES_PER_SEC for your
specific CPU—there is no detection from Zephyr with regard to that.
Other config differences from pristine QEMU defaults worth of mention
are:
- there is no HPET when running as Jailhouse guest. We use the LOAPIC
timer, instead
- there is no PIC_DISABLE, because there is no 8259A PIC when running
as a Jailhouse guest
- XIP makes no sense also when running as Jailhouse guest, and both
PHYS_RAM_ADDR/PHYS_LOAD_ADD are set to zero, what tiny-demo cell
config is set to
This opens up new possibilities for Zephyr, so that usages beyond just
MCUs come to the table. I see special demand coming from
functional-safety related use cases on industry, automotive, etc.

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.

- syscall.h now contains those APIs needed to support invoking calls
from user code. Some stuff moved out of main kernel.h.
- syscall_handler.h now contains directives useful for implementing
system call handler functions. This header is not pulled in by
kernel.h and is intended to be used by C files implementing kernel
system calls and driver subsystem APIs.
- syscall_list.h now contains the #defines for system call IDs. This
list is expected to grow quite large so it is put in its own header.
This is now an enumerated type instead of defines to make things
easier as we introduce system calls over the new few months. In the
fullness of time when we desire to have a fixed userspace/kernel ABI,
this can always be converted to defines.
Some new code added:
- _SYSCALL_MEMORY() macro added to check memory regions passed up from
userspace in handler functions
- _syscall_invoke{7...10}() inline functions declare for invoking system
calls with more than 6 arguments. 10 was chosen as the limit as that
corresponds to the largest arg list we currently have
which is for k_thread_create()
Other changes
- auto-generated K_SYSCALL_DECLARE* macros documented
- _k_syscall_table in userspace.c is not a placeholder. There's no
strong need to generate it and doing so would require the introduction
of a third build phase.

* Instead of a common system call entry function, we instead create a
table mapping system call ids to handler skeleton functions which are
invoked directly by the architecture code which receives the system
call.
* system call handler prototype specified. All but the most trivial
system calls will implement one of these. They validate all the
arguments, including verifying kernel/device object pointers, ensuring
that the calling thread has appropriate access to any memory buffers
passed in, and performing other parameter checks that the base system
call implementation does not check, or only checks with __ASSERT().
It's only possible to install a system call implementation directly
inside this table if the implementation has a return value and requires
no validation of any of its arguments.
A sample handler implementation for k_mutex_unlock() might look like:
u32_t _syscall_k_mutex_unlock(u32_t mutex_arg, u32_t arg2, u32_t arg3,
u32_t arg4, u32_t arg5, void *ssf)
{
struct k_mutex *mutex = (struct k_mutex *)mutex_arg;
_SYSCALL_ARG1;
_SYSCALL_IS_OBJ(mutex, K_OBJ_MUTEX, 0, ssf);
_SYSCALL_VERIFY(mutex->lock_count > 0, ssf);
_SYSCALL_VERIFY(mutex->owner == _current, ssf);
k_mutex_unlock(mutex);
return 0;
}
* the x86 port modified to work with the system call table instead of
calling a common handler function. fixed an issue where registers being
changed could confuse the compiler has been fixed; all registers, even
ones used for parameters, must be preserved across the system call.

arguments added. The debug information reported will be from the system
call site and not inside the handler function.
