Sebastian Bøe 84fe1ec63f cmake: Don't remember misnamed boards
CMake prints a helpful error message with all the boards supported
when a board name has been misspelled. But CMake also
remembers (caches) the corrupted board name and refuses to change it
until the board directory has been cleared.

CMake is rightly hesitant to change the board, as other cached
variables depend on what the board is. But it is safe to change the
board just after it has been selected, because we verify it's
correctness before using it to calculate other variables.

So to support the use-case of changing a misspelled board
name (without clearing the build directory) we unset the cached board
when it is invalid.

Also; change the now unused (in-tree) macro 'assert_with_usage' to
'print_usage'.

Istvan Bisz 26e6162a82 cmake: Eclipse CDT4 generator amendment
1. The generator handles just the COMPILE_DEFINITIONS.
   (See: __ZEPHYR_SUPERVISOR__)
   For the defines in INTERFACE_COMPILE_DEFINITIONS
   a special handling is necessary.

   Solution:
   The amendment function generates a macro header file
   ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/zephyr/include/generated/cmake_intdef.h
   based on INTERFACE_COMPILE_DEFINITIONS and appends the
   defines from the file to
   CMAKE_EXTRA_GENERATOR_C_SYSTEM_DEFINED_MACROS.

2. Eclipse CDT4 indexer has problems with CMake 'Eclipse CDT4 - x'
   generator projects that use mixed C/C++.
   The Eclipse CDT4 indexer is showing a lot of unresolved symbol
   errors, when the project was created with CMake generator and
   the code is a mix of C and C++.
   The root cause of the problem is the g++ built-in __cplusplus macro,
   that is passed by CMake generator in the '.cproject' file.
   The defines in '.cproject' are always the same for C and C++.
   In mixed C/C++ projects, the header files often contain the following
   lines to let C++ code call the C functions:

   #ifdef __cplusplus
   extern "C" {
   #endif

   < header content >

   #ifdef __cplusplus
   }
   #endif

   Whenever the Eclipse CDT4 indexer compiles the code for
   code analysis, it has the macro __cplusplus set,
   independent of whether standard C or C++ source files are compiled.
   The 'extern "C"' confuses the standard C compilation and the indexer
   is messed up.

   Solution:
   The amendment function deletes the __cplusplus entry from
   CMAKE_EXTRA_GENERATOR_CXX_SYSTEM_DEFINED_MACROS.

3. The amendment function appends the defines from
   ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/zephyr/include/generated/autoconf.h to
   CMAKE_EXTRA_GENERATOR_C_SYSTEM_DEFINED_MACROS.

Sebastian Bøe d6de4c7a99 cmake: Fall back to ZEPHYR_BASE when the board is not in BOARD_ROOT
It is very inconvenient to maintain an application that both runs on a
Zephyr board and an out-of-tree board.

It forces one to write build scripts like this in the app:

if(BOARD STREQUAL my_out_of_tree_board)
  set(BOARD_ROOT some/out/of/tree/board/path)
endif()

To avoid this we change the semantics of BOARD_ROOT. Instead of it
being a path to the board root it is now a prioritized list of board
root directories. Zephyr will append ZEPHYR_BASE to BOARD_ROOT.

This ensures that Zephyr boards can be used when the out-of-tree board
directory can not supply the requested board.

Sebastian Bøe b9e8cd1133 cmake: Refactor usage of target_link_libraries on Zephyr libraries
CMake has several prototypes/signatures for the function
'target_link_libraries'. This commit migrates the usage of
'target_link_libraries' on Zephyr CMake libraries from the old 'plain'
signature to the new '<PRIVATE|PUBLIC|INTERFACE>' signature.

For technical reasons the two signatures can not be mixed. Each
library must exclusively use either the old or new signature.

The 'old' plain signature is equivalent to using the PUBLIC
signature. Migrating to use 'PUBLIC' is therefore expected to be a
safe change.

After the migration it will be possible to use the PRIVATE and
INTERFACE signatures on Zephyr CMake libraries. This is useful for
instance to fix issue 8438.

Sebastian Bøe 709daa20e9 cmake: Find a directory that could be used to cache files
To improve the build system's "clean build" runtime we need to cache
files in a directory outside of the build directory.

Caching files outside of the build directory is is already being done
to a certain degree today. For instance, if a user has installed
ccache it will cache files in $HOME/.ccache/.

This commit locates a directory that is suitable for caching files in
a cross-platform way. For instance on Linux this is believed to be
$HOME, on Windows this is believed to be %LOCALAPPDATA%.

If for whatever reason no environment variables are are found to be
suitable we fall back to using $ZEPHYR_BASE/.cache/. For users that
often use 'git -clean' the caching mechanism will not work as well,
but it will at least be better than no caching at all.

Anas Nashif e172fa3b52 build: support out-of-tree custom boards
This is one way we can support out of tree board definitions. Basically
all this needs is a board definition in the application source directory
that follows the same structure we have in the main Zephyr tree (also
allowing multiple custom boards). An application tree would look like
this for example:

boards/
CMakeLists.txt
prj.conf
README.rst
src/

with boards following the same structure as in Zephyr:

.
├── boards
│   └── x86
│       └── arduino_101
│           ├── doc
│           │   └── img
│           └── support
└── src

To use this, you need to specify the BOARD_ROOT variable on the command
line when building:

cmake -DBOARD=<board name> -DBOARD_ROOT=<path to boards> ..

Sebastian Bøe 3c8331d390 cmake: Introduce Zephyr interface libraries
Introduce Zephyr interface libraries to fix #5351.

From the documentation:

A Zephyr interface library is a thin wrapper over a CMake INTERFACE
library. The most important responsibility of this abstraction is to
ensure that when a user KConfig-enables a library then the header
files of this library will be accessible to the 'app' library.

This is done because when a user uses Kconfig to enable a library he
expects to be able to include it's header files and call it's
functions out-of-the box.

A Zephyr interface library should be used when there exists some
build information (include directories, defines, compiler flags,
etc.) that should be applied to a set of Zephyr libraries and 'app'
might be one of these libraries.

Zephyr libraries must explicitly call
zephyr_library_link_libraries(<interface_library>) to use this build
information. 'app' is treated as a special case for usability
reasons; a Kconfig option (CONFIG_APP_LINK_WITH_<interface_library>)
should exist for each interface_library and will determine if 'app'
links with the interface_library.

This API has a constructor like the zephyr_library API has, but it

Marti Bolivar 7a3462de7a scripts: runner: use arguments, not environment vars
The various runners (flash/debug scripts) use environment variables to
take arguments. This is legacy behavior which is not desirable.

Use command line arguments instead.

Note: this leaves more general environment variables with publicly
      documented behavior in place for now, for compatibility, e.g.:

      ZEPHYR_FLASH_OVER_DFU, OPENSDA_FW, ESP_IDF_PATH, PYOCD_DAPARG

For example, when using dfu-util to flash arduino_101, instead of
setting DFUUTIL_PID, DFUUTIL_ALT, and DFUUTIL_IMG environment
variables, have the script invocation look like this:

  python3 .../zephyr_flash_debug.py dfu-util flash \
          [common arguments omitted] \
          --pid=8087:0aba --alt=x86_app \
          --img=.../build/zephyr/zephyr.bin

Make similar changes for other runners (openocd, etc.) and
targets (debug, debugserver).

To implement this in the scripts:

  - have the individual scripts/support/runner/some-runner.py files
    register their own command line arguments

  - teach them to construct instances from arguments, not the
    environment

  - have zephyr_flash_debug.py request runners to register command
    line argument parsers, and handle arguments

In the build system:

  - add a new board_runner_args() extension function that board.cmake
    files can use to add to the zephyr_flash_debug.py command line

  - adjust cmake/flash/CMakeLists.txt to invoke with arguments

  - add new helper include files for each runner (like
    boards/common/dfu-util.board.cmake, etc.), which add default
    options as needed and then add on overrides from
    board_runner_args() calls

  - update board.cmake files to use the new includes and extension

This implied some tweaking when using openocd to make the CMake string
escaping and unescaping work properly.

Marti Bolivar e33ec242fd scripts: refactor flash/debug scripts to remove "shell"
The Python-based runners have replaced the old shell scripts. Refactor
the build system accordingly:

- FLASH_SCRIPT is now BOARD_FLASH_RUNNER
- DEBUG_SCRIPT is now BOARD_DEBUG_RUNNER

The values, rather than being the names of files, are now the names of
runners in scripts/support/runner. They are still short, descriptive
names like "openocd", "jlink", "em-starterkit", etc.

Adjust the zephyr_flash_debug.py call and runner internals
accordingly. Have each runner class report a name and the commands it
can handle. This lets us move some boilerplate from each do_run()
method into the common run() routine, and enables further improvements
in future patches.

The handles_command() method is temporary, and will be replaced by a
more general mechanism for describing runner capabilities in a
subsequent patch. The initial use case for extending this is to add
device tree awareness to the runners.

To try to avoid user confusion, abort the configuration if an
xxx_SCRIPT is defined.

Sebastian Bøe 13a6840261 cmake: Re-organize syscall generation wrt. the build system
This commit fixes
https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr/issues/5008.

It does so by splitting up gen_syscalls.py into two scripts with a
json metadata file to communicate syscall metadata between them. The
parsing script parses header files from include/ and writes syscall
metadata to a file if the contents changed. The generation script
reads from the json file and generates syscall code.

The build system DAG now looks like this:

always_rebuild -> json -> syscalls -> offset.o

The script for generating json will do so only if the content changes,
this ensures that the entire DAG does not always do a full rebuild.

This fixes https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr/issues/5186

The script that generates syscall_macros.h is moved from Configuration
time to build time. This allows us to express to the build system that
syscall_macros.h depends on the script that generates it.

Sebastian Bøe ce2bfcdb96 cmake: Remove the PREBUILT_HOST_TOOLS variable
The PREBUILT_HOST_TOOLS variable was used during the CMake migration
but is no longer documented or needed. As the docs demonstrate, adding
tools to path is an easy way to find prebuilt host tools.

Sebastian Bøe 12f8f76165 Introduce cmake-based rewrite of KBuild
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
$ make
