There are several subsystems and boards which require a relatively large
system heap (used by k_malloc()) to function properly. This became even
more notable with the recent introduction of the ACPICA library, which
causes ACPI-using boards to require a system heap of up to several
megabytes in size.
Until now, subsystems and boards have tried to solve this by having
Kconfig overlays which modify the default value of HEAP_MEM_POOL_SIZE.
This works ok, except when applications start explicitly setting values
in their prj.conf files:
$ git grep CONFIG_HEAP_MEM_POOL_SIZE= tests samples|wc -l
157
The vast majority of values set by current sample or test applications
is much too small for subsystems like ACPI, which results in the
application not being able to run on such boards.
To solve this situation, we introduce support for subsystems to specify
their own custom system heap size requirement. Subsystems do
this by defining Kconfig options with the prefix HEAP_MEM_POOL_ADD_SIZE_.
The final value of the system heap is the sum of the custom
minimum requirements, or the value existing HEAP_MEM_POOL_SIZE option,
whichever is greater.
We also introduce a new HEAP_MEM_POOL_IGNORE_MIN Kconfig option which
applications can use to force a lower value than what subsystems have
specficied, however this behavior is disabled by default.
Whenever the minimum is greater than the requested value a CMake warning
will be issued in the build output.
This patch ends up modifying several places outside of kernel code,
since the presence of the system heap is no longer detected using a
non-zero CONFIG_HEAP_MEM_POOL_SIZE value, rather it's now detected using
a new K_HEAP_MEM_POOL_SIZE value that's evaluated at build.

The switch_handle field in the thread struct is used as an atomic flag
between CPUs in SMP, and has been known for a long time to technically
require memory barriers for correct operation. We have an API for
that now, so put them in:
* The code immediately before arch_switch() needs a write barrier to
ensure that thread state written by the scheduler is seen to happen
before the outgoing thread is flagged with a valid switch handle.
* The loop in z_sched_switch_spin() needs a read barrier at the end,
to make sure the calling context doesn't load state from before the
other CPU stored the switch handle.
Also, that same spot in switch_spin was spinning with interrupts held,
which means it needs a call to arch_spin_relax() to avoid a FPU state
deadlock on some architectures.

Promote it to a more formal-looking internal API and clean up the

Rework the fragile and ad-hoc computation of timeslice expirations
into per-CPU struct _timeout objects with regular callbacks. The
expiration callbacks themselves simply set a per-cpu flag (they might
run on any CPU), which gets checked at the end of the timer ISR on
every CPU.
This simplifies logic and removes a bunch of code. It also fixes at
least three bugs:
1. As @npitre discovered: On SMP, the number of ticks announced on any
given CPU is going to be a subset of all expired ticks. This broke
the accounting of timeslice ticks, and effectively meant that
timeslicing only worked on SMP on systems where one CPU could hog all
the announcements, and only on that CPU.
2. The bootstrap path to arm the timer driver after setting the first
timeout in an empty list couldn't take into account
sys_clock_elapsed() ticks, as it didn't know whether it was being
called underneath an existing announce loop. Now this code is no
longer responsible for knowing anything about time slicing at all.
3. Also on SMP, there was a case where two CPUs timeslicing
simultaneously could stomp on each others' timeouts in
z_set_timeout_expiry(), as neither had a way of knowing what the
other's state was. CPUs could miss their own expiration and have to
wait for the slice expiration on the other CPU. Now, timeouts are
global objects with simple expiration times, and there's no need for
that function at all.

The interrupt stack is used as the system stack during kernel
initialization while IRQs are not yet enabled. The sp register is
set to z_interrupt_stacks + CONFIG_ISR_STACK_SIZE.
CONFIG_ISR_STACK_SIZE only represents the desired usable stack size.
This does not take into account the added guard area. Result is a stack
whose pointer is much closer to the trigger zone than expected when
CONFIG_PMP_STACK_GUARD=y, and the SMP configuration in particular pushes
it over the edge during many CI test cases.
Worse: during early init we're not quite ready to handle exceptions
yet and complete havoc ensues with no meaningful debugging output.
Make sure the early assembly code locates the actual top of the stack
by generating a constant with its true size.

This adds lazy floating point context switching. On svc/irq entrance,
the VFP is disabled and a pointer to the exception stack frame is saved
away. If the esf pointer is still valid on exception exit, then no
other context used the VFP so the context is still valid and nothing
needs to be restored. If the esf pointer is NULL on exception exit,
then some other context used the VFP and the floating point context is
restored from the esf.
The undefined instruction handler is responsible for saving away the
floating point context if needed. If the handler is in the first
irq/svc context and the current thread uses the VFP, then the float
context needs to be saved. Also, if the handler is in a nested context
and the previous context was using the FVP, save the float context.

Zephyr's timeslice implementation has always been somewhat primitive.
You get a global timeslice that applies broadly to the whole bottom of
the priority space, with no ability (beyond that one priority
threshold) to tune it to work on certain threads, etc...
This adds an (optionally configurable) API that allows timeslicing to
be controlled on a per-thread basis: any thread at any priority can be
set to timeslice, for a configurable per-thread slice time, and at the
end of its slice a callback can be provided that can take action.
This allows the application to implement things like responsiveness
heuristics, "fair" scheduling algorithms, etc... without requiring
that facility in the core kernel.

Zeroing the BSS and copying data to RAM with regular memset/memcpy may
cause problems when those functions are assuming a fully initialized
system for their optimizations to work e.g. some instructions require
an active MMU, but turning the MMU on needs the .bss section to be
cleared first, etc.
Commit c5b898743a ("aarch64: Fix alignment fault on z_bss_zero()")
provides a detailed explanation of such a case.
Replacing z_bss_zero() with an architecture specific one is problematic
as the former may see new sections added to it that would be missed by
the later. The same reasoning goes for z_data_copy().
Let's make maintenance much easier by providing weak versions of
memset/memcpy that can be overridden by architecture-specific safe
versions when needed.
