This commit refactors kernel and arch headers to establish a boundary
between private and public interface headers.
The refactoring strategy used in this commit is detailed in the issue
This commit introduces the following major changes:
1. Establish a clear boundary between private and public headers by
removing "kernel/include" and "arch/*/include" from the global
include paths. Ideally, only kernel/ and arch/*/ source files should
reference the headers in these directories. If these headers must be
used by a component, these include paths shall be manually added to
the CMakeLists.txt file of the component. This is intended to
discourage applications from including private kernel and arch
headers either knowingly and unknowingly.
- kernel/include/ (PRIVATE)
This directory contains the private headers that provide private
kernel definitions which should not be visible outside the kernel
and arch source code. All public kernel definitions must be added
to an appropriate header located under include/.
- arch/*/include/ (PRIVATE)
This directory contains the private headers that provide private
architecture-specific definitions which should not be visible
outside the arch and kernel source code. All public architecture-
specific definitions must be added to an appropriate header located
under include/arch/*/.
- include/ AND include/sys/ (PUBLIC)
This directory contains the public headers that provide public
kernel definitions which can be referenced by both kernel and
application code.
- include/arch/*/ (PUBLIC)
This directory contains the public headers that provide public
architecture-specific definitions which can be referenced by both
kernel and application code.
2. Split arch_interface.h into "kernel-to-arch interface" and "public
arch interface" divisions.
- kernel/include/kernel_arch_interface.h
* provides private "kernel-to-arch interface" definition.
* includes arch/*/include/kernel_arch_func.h to ensure that the
interface function implementations are always available.
* includes sys/arch_interface.h so that public arch interface
definitions are automatically included when including this file.
- arch/*/include/kernel_arch_func.h
* provides architecture-specific "kernel-to-arch interface"
implementation.
* only the functions that will be used in kernel and arch source
files are defined here.
- include/sys/arch_interface.h
* provides "public arch interface" definition.
* includes include/arch/arch_inlines.h to ensure that the
architecture-specific public inline interface function
implementations are always available.
- include/arch/arch_inlines.h
* includes architecture-specific arch_inlines.h in
include/arch/*/arch_inline.h.
- include/arch/*/arch_inline.h
* provides architecture-specific "public arch interface" inline
function implementation.
* supersedes include/sys/arch_inline.h.
3. Refactor kernel and the existing architecture implementations.
- Remove circular dependency of kernel and arch headers. The
following general rules should be observed:
* Never include any private headers from public headers
* Never include kernel_internal.h in kernel_arch_data.h
* Always include kernel_arch_data.h from kernel_arch_func.h
* Never include kernel.h from kernel_struct.h either directly or
indirectly. Only add the kernel structures that must be referenced
from public arch headers in this file.
- Relocate syscall_handler.h to include/ so it can be used in the
public code. This is necessary because many user-mode public codes
reference the functions defined in this header.
- Relocate kernel_arch_thread.h to include/arch/*/thread.h. This is
necessary to provide architecture-specific thread definition for
'struct k_thread' in kernel.h.
- Remove any private header dependencies from public headers using
the following methods:
* If dependency is not required, simply omit
* If dependency is required,
- Relocate a portion of the required dependencies from the
private header to an appropriate public header OR
- Relocate the required private header to make it public.

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.

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

* interrupts and exceptions, secure mode has its own vector base;
interrupt can be configured as secure or normal through the
interrupt priority aux reg.
* secure timers. Two secure timers (secure timer 0 and timer 1) are

internal timers (timer 0 and timer1) are used as sys clock of zephyr

These two fields in the thread structure control the preemptibility of a
thread.
sched_locked is decremented when the scheduler gets locked, which means
that the scheduler is locked for values 0xff to 0x01, since it can be
locked recursively. A thread is coop if its priority is negative, thus
if the prio field value is 0x80 to 0xff when looked at as an unsigned
value.
By putting them end-to-end, this means that a thread is non-preemptible
if the bundled value is greater than or equal to 0x0080. This is the
only thing the interrupt exit code has to check to decide to try a
reschedule or not.

Some thread fields were 32-bit wide, when they are not even close to
using that full range of values. They are instead changed to 8-bit fields.
- prio can fit in one byte, limiting the priorities range to -128 to 127
- recursive scheduler locking can be limited to 255; a rollover results
most probably from a logic error
- flags are split into execution flags and thread states; 8 bits is
enough for each of them currently, with at worst two states and four
flags to spare (on x86, on other archs, there are six flags to spare)
Doing this saves 8 bytes per stack. It also sets up an incoming
enhancement when checking if the current thread is preemptible on
interrupt exit.

The way the ready thread cache was implemented caused it to not always
be "hot", i.e. there could be some misses, which happened when the
cached thread was taken out of the ready queue. When that happened, it
was not replaced immediately, since doing so could mean that the
replacement might not run because the flow could be interrupted and
another thread could take its place. This was the more conservative
approach that insured that moving a thread to the cache would never be
wasted.
However, this caused two problems:
1. The cache could not be refilled until another thread context-switched
in, since there was no thread in the cache to compare priorities
against.
2. Interrupt exit code would always have to call into C to find what
thread to run when the current thread was not coop and did not have the
scheduler locked. Furthermore, it was possible for this code path to
encounter a cold cache and then it had to find out what thread to run
the long way.
To fix this, filling the cache is now more aggressive, i.e. the next
thread to put in the cache is found even in the case the current cached
thread is context-switched out. This ensures the interrupt exit code is
much faster on the slow path. In addition, since finding the next thread
to run is now always "get it from the cache", which is a simple fetch
from memory (_kernel.ready_q.cache), there is no need to call the more
complex C code.
On the ARM FRDM K64F board, this improvement is seen:
Before:
1- Measure time to switch from ISR back to interrupted task
switching time is 215 tcs = 1791 nsec
2- Measure time from ISR to executing a different task (rescheduled)
switch time is 315 tcs = 2625 nsec
After:
1- Measure time to switch from ISR back to interrupted task
switching time is 130 tcs = 1083 nsec
2- Measure time from ISR to executing a different task (rescheduled)
switch time is 225 tcs = 1875 nsec
These are the most dramatic improvements, but most of the numbers
generated by the latency_measure test are improved.

When going into DEEP_SLEEP mode, the ARC core now saves
its context. This includes:

The arc reset code now checks if the GPS0 bit 2 is set.
This is similar to the behavior of the x86 core done by
the QMSI bootloader which is setting GPS0 bit 1 in order
to call the restore path instead of cold boot path.
The sample has been adapted in order to support the ARC.

There was a lot of duplication between architectures for the definition
of threads and the "nanokernel" guts. These have been consolidated.
Now, a common file kernel/unified/include/kernel_structs.h holds the
common definitions. Architectures provide two files to complement it:
kernel_arch_data.h and kernel_arch_func.h. The first one contains at
least the struct _thread_arch and struct _kernel_arch data structures,
as well as the struct _callee_saved and struct _caller_saved register
layouts. The second file contains anything that needs what is provided
by the common stuff in kernel_structs.h. Those two files are only meant
to be included in kernel_structs.h in very specific locations.
The thread data structure has been separated into three major parts:
common struct _thread_base and struct k_thread, and arch-specific struct
_thread_arch. The first and third ones are included in the second.
The struct s_NANO data structure has been split into two: common struct
_kernel and arch-specific struct _kernel_arch. The latter is included in
the former.
Offsets files have also changed: nano_offsets.h has been renamed
kernel_offsets.h and is still included by the arch-specific offsets.c.
Also, since the thread and kernel data structures are now made of
sub-structures, offsets have to be added to make up the full offset.
Some of these additions have been consolidated in shorter symbols,
available from kernel/unified/include/offsets_short.h, which includes an
arch-specific offsets_arch_short.h. Most of the code include
offsets_short.h now instead of offsets.h.

A race condition would happend if a FIRQ interrupted a
return-from-interrupt from a RIRQ at the wrong moment: if a decision was
already taken which thread to context switch in and the FIRQ woke up
another thread of higher priority, the ready queue would be corrupted.
The solution is to lock interrupts at the moment the interrupt return
code starts looking at the kernel queues. Interrupts do not need to be
unlocked before exiting: the return-from-interrupt (rtie) instruction
will restore the correct interrupt locking state for the thread being
context switched in.

- the interrupt (both regular and fast) now does not do rescheduling
if the current thread is a coop thread or if the scheduler is not locked
- the _nanokernel.flags cache of _current.flags is not used anymore
(could be a source of bugs) and is not needed in the scheduling algo
- there is no 'task' field in the _nanokernel anymore: scheduling routines
call _get_next_ready_thread instead
- the _nanokernel.fiber field is replaced by a more sophisticated
ready_q, based on the microkernel's priority-bitmap-based one
- thread initialization initializes new fields in the tcs, and does not
initialize obsolete ones
- nano_private includes nano_internal.h from the unified directory
- The FIBER, TASK and PREEMPTIBLE flags do not exist anymore: the thread
priority drives the behaviour
- the tcs uses a dlist for queuing in both ready and wait queues instead
of a custom singly-linked list
- other new fields in the tcs include a schedule-lock count, a
back-pointer to init data (when the task is static) and a pointer to
swap data, needed when a thread pending on _Swap() must be passed more
then just one value (e.g. k_stack_pop() needs an error code and data)
- the 'fiber' and 'task' fields of _nanokernel are replaced with an O(1)
ready queue (taken from the microkernel)
- fiberRtnValueSet() is aliased to _set_thread_return_value since it
also operates on preempt threads now
- _set_thread_return_value_with_data() sets the swap_data field in
addition to a return value from _Swap()
- convenience aliases are created for shorter names:
- _current is defined as _nanokernel.current
- _ready_q is defined as _nanokernel.ready_q
- _Swap() sets the threads's return code to -EAGAIN before swapping out
to prevent timeouts to have to set it (solves hard issues in some
kernel objects).

It was found that the test latency_measure, when compiled
for microkernel, would fail on the ARC. This because the
trap handler, used by irq_offload, wasn't supporting thread switching.
This submission adds the code to do that, and the code size is
bigger only when CONFIG_MICROKERNEL is defined.
To keep code a bit smaller, there is a trick exploited here where
the AE bit is cleared in the STATUS32 register and in AUX_IRQ_ACT,
bit 1 is set, to make it appear as if the machine has interrupted
at priority 1 level. It then can jump into some common interrupt
exit code for regular interrupts and perform an RTIE instruction
to switch into the new thread.
test/latency_measure/microkernel now passes.
