* 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.
* a new arch API for producing a kernel oops when validating system call
arguments added. The debug information reported will be from the system
call site and not inside the handler function.

Previously, this was only done if an essential thread self-exited,
and was a runtime check that generated a kernel panic.
Now if any thread has k_thread_abort() called on it, and that thread

an assertion.
_NANO_ERR_INVALID_TASK_EXIT checks and printouts removed since this

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

not supported in this commit (both only make sense in the presence of
multiple SMP processors).
Note that this is the IPC mechanisms only. The thread creation API
itself is unsupported: Zephyr threads work differently from pthreads
and don't port cleanly in all cases. Likewise the "_INITIALIZER"

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

This test was just wrong. If the current thread did not race with any
others during the allocation process, then the result will be false
because it was detected so earlier in the function. If we did race,
then sure: it might be true now if someone snuck in and freed a block.
But so what? We already have the block we want to break. The
behavior in the code as written was to early-exit from the break loop,
returning a buffer that was larger than the one requested (though
otherwise benign -- we wouldn't leak, just waste memory). No idea
what I was thinking.
Thanks to Du Quanwen for the diagnosis.

Introduce a configurable boot delay option (defaulting to none) that
happens right after printing a boot delay banner, #before calling
main() in kernel/init.c:_main(), before taking timestamps for _main()
and once all the infrastructure is in place. Move also the boot banner
to happen after this delay.
The rationale for this is some boards will boot really fast and print
out some test case output in the serial port before the system that is
monitoring the serial port is able to read from the serial port.
This happens in MCUs whose serial port is embedded in a USB connection
which also is used to power the MCU board. When powering it on by
powering the USB port, there is a time it takes the host system to
detect the USB connection, enumerate the serial port, configure it and
load, start and read from the serial port. At this time, it might have
printed the output of the serial port.
While manually it is possible to press a reset button, on automation
setups this adds a lot of overhead and cabling or modifications to the
MCU that are easier (and cheaper) to overcome with this delay. Other
options (like using a separate serial line) might not be possible or
add a lot of cabling and cost, plus it'd also add extra build
configuration.

Commit 1bc2fdc70 ("dts: arm: STM32 boards use DT to configure I2C")
added a new Kconfig option, HAS_DTS_I2C, which should be set when the
target supports configuration of I2C peripherals via Device Tree.
Currently, STM32 targets select this. However, the fact that
HAS_DTS_I2C has no default is causing prompting when building Zephyr
on other targets with DTS. To avoid this and allow builds to complete
as usual, have HAS_DTS_I2C default to n.

Upcoming memory protection features will be placing some additional
constraints on kernel objects:
- They need to reside in memory owned by the kernel and not the
application
- Certain kernel object validation schemes will require some run-time
initialization of all kernel objects before they can be used.
Per Ben these initializer macros were never intended to be public. It is
not forbidden to use them, but doing so requires care: the memory being
initialized must reside in kernel space, and extra runtime
initialization steps may need to be peformed before they are fully
usable as kernel objects. In particular, kernel subsystems or drivers
whose objects are already in kernel memory may still need to use these
macros if they define kernel objects as members of a larger data
structure.
It is intended that application developers instead use the
K_<object>_DEFINE macros, which will automatically put the object in the
right memory and add them to a section which can be iterated over at
boot to complete initiailization.
There was no K_WORK_DEFINE() macro for creating struct k_work objects,
this is now added.
k_poll_event and k_poll_signal are intended to be instatiated from
application memory and have not been changed.

One of the stack sentinel policies was to check the sentinel
any time a cooperative context switch is done (i.e, _Swap is
called).
This was done by adding a hook to _check_stack_sentinel in
every arch's __swap function.
This way is cleaner as we just have the hook in one inline
function rather than implemented in several different assembly
dialects.
The check upon interrupt is now made unconditionally rather
than checking if we are calling __swap, since the check now
is only called on cooperative _Swap(). The interrupt is always
serviced first.
