GCC 6.2.0 is making frustratingly poor inlining decisions with some of
these routines, resulting in an awful lot of runtime calls for code
that is only ever expanded once or twice within the file.
Treat with targetted ALWAYS_INLINE's to force the issue. The
scheduler code is a hot path.

The sys_dlist_insert_*() functions had a behavior where a NULL
argument for the insertion position to sys_dlist_insert_after/before()
was interpreted as "the end of the list". We never used that
convention (except in one spot internal to dlist.h which was not
itself used anywhere), and of course already have an API for appending
and prepending to a list.
In practice this was a performance disaster. The NULL check is
virtually never provable statically by the compiler, so that test and
branch is present always. And worse, the check and call to another
function was pushing this beyond the complexity limit for gcc to
inline a function (at -Os optimization anyway), forcing us to use
function calls for what should be a ~8 instruction sequence. The
upshot is that dlist insertions were 2-3x slower than they needed to
be.
Deprecate these older APIs and introduce a new sys_dlist_insert() call
which can be much better optimized.

The fix in commit e664c78b82 ("kernel/timeout: Fix recursive
spinlock in z_set_timeout_expiry()") missed a spot that had also been
introduced with recent locking work. The new
_get_next_timeout_expiry() implementation takes its own lock, which is
recursive when called from z_clock_announce(). Fix by calling the
wrapped implementation instead.

Whether a timeout is linked into the timeout queue can be determined
from the corresponding sys_dnode_t linked state. This removes the need
to use a special flag value in dticks to determine that the timeout is
inactive.
Update _abort_timeout to return an error code, rather than the flag
value, when the timeout to be aborted was not active.
Remove the _INACTIVE flag value, and replace its external uses with an
internal API function that checks whether a timeout is inactive.

The help text has been stating that CONFIG_STACK_CANARIES will
silently be ignored when the compiler does not support them. But this
is not the desired behaviour of CONFIG_STACK_CANARIES[1].
This patch corrects the help text to state that an error will occur if
this feature is enabled, but not supported.
[1] "I would much rather see the build break if someone tries to
enable the stack canaries, and the compiler doesn't support
it. Because what happens now is that if someone enables this option,
and there is no support, the build will succeed but there are no
actual stack canaries in place, and unless the user is paying close
attention to the cmake test output they will have no idea."

There is an effort underway to make most of the Zephyr build script's
reentrant. Meaning, the build scripts can be executed multiple times
during the same CMake invocation.
Reentrancy enables several use-cases, the motivating one is the
ability to build several Zephyr executables, or images, for instance a
bootloader and an application.
For build scripts to be reentrant they cannot be directly referencing
global variables, like target names, but must instead reference
variables, which can vary from entry to entry.
Therefore, in this patch, we replace global targets with variables.

The z_set_timeout_expiry() function was added in part to simply the
locking strategy, but it missed a case where a function it was calling
was re-locking the same spinlock. It "works"[1] in uniprocessor
environments, but can be a deadlock in SMP.
Fix this by moving the meat of the function to an unlocked utility,
use that locally, and turn the entry point into one that does locking.
Actually this only gets called from idle now, which is a use case that
will go away when TICKLESS_IDLE is removed as a separate feature (once
you know all timeouts are set tickless, you don't need to set it from
the idle entry at all).
Discovered via lucky inspection.
[1] It doesn't work. It releases the lock prematurely at the end of
the inner block. But in practice this wasn't discovered.

This patch provides support for generating Code coverage reports.
The prj.conf needs to enable CONFIG_COVERAGE. Once enabled, the
code coverage data dump now comes via UART.
This data dump on the UART is triggered once the main
thread exits.
Next step is to save this data dump on file. Then run
scripts/gen_gcov_files.py with the serial console log as argument.
The last step would be be to run the gcovr. Use the following cmd
gcovr -r . --html -o gcov_report/coverage.html --html-details
Currently supported architectures are ARM and x86.

Timeslicing works by removing the _current thread from the run queue
and re-adding it at the end of its priority. On systems with a
_Swap() that can be preempted by a timer interrupt, that means it's
possible for the timeslice to try to slice out a thread that had
already pended itself!
This behavior used to be benign (or at least undetectable) as the
duplicated list operations were idempotent. But now the dlist code is
stricter about correctness and has exposed the bug -- it will blow up
if you try to remove an already-removed list node.
Fix (on affected platforms) by stashing the _current pointer in
_pend_current_thread() that is checked and cleared in the timer
interrupt. If we discover we're trying to interrupt a thread that's
already interrupted itself, we can safely exit z_time_slice() as a
noop. The timeslicing bookeeping was already done for us underneath
the pend code.

On ARM, _Swap() isn't atomic and a hardware interrupt can land after
the (irq_locked) caller has entered _Swap() but before the context
switch actually happens. This will require some platform-specific
workarounds in a few places in the scheduler.

The call to _arch_switch is a giant screaming sign inviting optimizer
bugs. The code that appears before is what happened long ago when we
were switched out, but the version that EXECUTED just now is actually
in a different thread. So the assignment to _current before the
switch actually assigned OUR thread (the "new_thread" of the old
context!) to _current.
But obviously the optimizer looks at that code and assumes that the
_current which got assigned to the thread we were switching to long
ago is still correct, and used it when retrieving the swap return
value.
Obviously the real bug here is that the _arch_switch() in question
lacked a memory clobber (and it's getting one).
But we can remove two lines, remove code from inside the interrupt
lock and make the implementation more robust by moving the read to
after the irq_unlock() (which generally also has a memory clobber).

The logic in z_set_timeout_expiry() missed the case where the ticks
argument could be zero (or lower), which can happen naturally due to
timing/interrupt slop. In those circumstances, it would still try to
reset a timer that was "about to expire at the next tick", which would
run afoul of the drivers' internal decisions about how soon a timer
interrupt could be set, and then get pushed out to the next tick.
Explicitly detect this as an "imminent" predicate to make the logic
clearer.

The use of dticks == INACTIVE to tell whether or not a timeout was
already in the list was insufficient. There is a time period between
the moment a timeout is removed from the list and the end of its
handler where it is not in the list, yet its list node pointers still
point into it. Doing things like aborting a thread while that is true
(which can be asynchronous too!) would corrupt the list even though
all the operations on it were "atomic".
Set the timeout node pointers to nulls atomically when removed, and
check for double-remove conditions (which, again, might be perfectly
OK).

This loop was structured badly, as a while(true) with multiple "exit
if" cases in the body. It was bad enough that I genuinely fooled
myself into rewriting it, having convinced myself there was a bug in
it when there wasn't.
So keep the rewritten loop which expresses the iteration in a more
invariant way (i.e. "while we have an element to expire" and not "test
if we have to exit the loop"). Shorter and easier. Also makes the
locking clearer as we can simply release the lock around the callback
in a natural/obvious way.

In general driver system calls are implemented at a subsystem
layer. However, some drivers may have capabilities specific to
the hardware not covered by the subsystem API. Such drivers may
want to define their own system calls.
This macro makes it simple to validate in the driver-specific
system call handlers that not only does the untrusted device
pointer correspond to the expected subsystem, initialization
state, and caller permissions, but also that the device object
is an instance of a specific driver (and not just any driver in
that subsystem).

This is needed to force the required functions and data variables

This is due to the behavior of the linker. The linker will only link
once and hence this text section had to be split to make room
