d0629e3c4e libc: malloc: log an error when malloc is called and arena size is 0
Previously, if the arena size was zero, malloc would always fail.
However, the log message was only visible if debug messages were
enabled. Logging an error will hopefully make it more obvious that
CONFIG_MINIMAL_LIBC_MALLOC_ARENA_SIZE should be >= if the minimal
libc and malloc are both used.

Fixes #26720

b7eb04b300 x86: consolidate x86_64 architecture, SoC and boards
There are two set of code supporting x86_64: x86_64 using x32 ABI,
and x86 long mode, and this consolidates both into one x86_64
architecture and SoC supporting truly 64-bit mode.

() Removes the x86_64:x32 architecture and SoC, and replaces
   them with the existing x86 long mode arch and SoC.
() Replace qemu_x86_64 with qemu_x86_long as qemu_x86_64.
() Updates samples and tests to remove reference to
   qemu_x86_long.
() Renames CONFIG_X86_LONGMODE to CONFIG_X86_64.

6564974bae userspace: Support for split 64 bit arguments
System call arguments, at the arch layer, are single words.  So
passing wider values requires splitting them into two registers at
call time.  This gets even more complicated for values (e.g
k_timeout_t) that may have different sizes depending on configuration.
This patch adds a feature to gen_syscalls.py to detect functions with
wide arguments and automatically generates code to split/unsplit them.

Unfortunately the current scheme of Z_SYSCALL_DECLARE_* macros won't
work with functions like this, because for N arguments (our current
maximum N is 10) there are 2^N possible configurations of argument
widths.  So this generates the complete functions for each handler and
wrapper, effectively doing in python what was originally done in the
preprocessor.

Another complexity is that traditional the z_hdlr_*() function for a
system call has taken the raw list of word arguments, which does not
work when some of those arguments must be 64 bit types.  So instead of
using a single Z_SYSCALL_HANDLER macro, this splits the job of
z_hdlr_*() into two steps: An automatically-generated unmarshalling
function, z_mrsh_*(), which then calls a user-supplied verification
function z_vrfy_*().  The verification function is typesafe, and is a
simple C function with exactly the same argument and return signature
as the syscall impl function.  It is also not responsible for
validating the pointers to the extra parameter array or a wide return
value, that code gets automatically generated.

This commit includes new vrfy/msrh handling for all syscalls invoked
during CI runs.  Future commits will port the less testable code.

629bd85612 mempool: significant reduction of memory waste
The mempool allocator implementation recursively breaks a memory block
into 4 sub-blocks until it minimally fits the requested memory size.

The size of each sub-blocks is rounded up to the next word boundary to
preserve word alignment on the returned memory, and this is a problem.

Let's consider max_sz = 2072 and n_max = 1. That's our level 0.

At level 1, we get one level-0 block split in 4 sub-blocks whose size
is WB_UP(2072 / 4) = 520. However 4 * 520 = 2080 so we must discard the
4th sub-block since it doesn't fit inside our 2072-byte parent block.

We're down to 3 * 520 = 1560 bytes of usable memory.
Our memory usage efficiency is now 1560 / 2072 = 75%.

At level 2, we get 3 level-1 blocks, and each of them may be split
in 4 sub-blocks whose size is WB_UP(520 / 4) = 132. But 4 * 132 = 528
so the 4th sub-block has to be discarded again.

We're down to 9 * 132 = 1188 bytes of usable memory.
Our memory usage efficiency is now 1188 / 2072 = 57%.

At level 3, we get 9 level-2 blocks, each split into WB_UP(132 / 4)
= 36 bytes. Again 4 * 36 = 144 so the 4th sub-block is discarded.

We're down to 27 * 36 = 972 bytes of usable memory.
Our memory usage efficiency is now 972 / 2072 = 47%.

What should be done instead, is to round _down_ sub-block sizes
not _up_. This way, sub-blocks still align to word boundaries, and
they always fit within their parent block as the total size may
no longer exceed the initial size.

Using the same max_sz = 2072 would yield a memory usage efficiency of
99% at level 3, so let's demo a worst case 2044 instead.

Level 1: 4 sub-blocks of WB_DN(2044 / 4) = 508 bytes.
We're down to 4 * 508 = 2032 bytes of usable memory.
Our memory usage efficiency is now 2032 / 2044 = 99%.

Level 2: 4 * 4 sub-blocks of WB_DN(508 / 4) = 124 bytes.
We're down to 16 * 124 = 1984 bytes of usable memory.
Our memory usage efficiency is now 1984 / 2044 = 97%.

Level 3: 16 * 4 sub-blocks of WB_DN(124 / 4) = 28 bytes.
We're down to 64 * 28 = 1792 bytes of usable memory.
Our memory usage efficiency is now 1792 / 2044 = 88%.

Conclusion: if max_sz is a power of 2 then we get 100% efficiency at
all levens in both cases. But if not, then the rounding-up method has
a far worse degradation curve than the rounding-down method, wasting
more than 50% of memory in some cases.

So let's round sub-block sizes down rather than up, and remove
block_fits() which purpose was to identify sub-blocks that didn't
fit within their parent block and is now useless.

33312cfd98 prf.c: remove buffer limitation on field width and string copy
The z_prf() function currently allocates a 200-byte buffer on the
stack to copy strings into, and then perform left/right alignment
and padding. Not only this is a pretty large chunk of stack usage,
but this imposes limitations on field width and string length. Also
the string is copied not only once but _thrice_ making this code
less than optimal.

Let's rework the code to get rid of both the field width limit and
string length limit, as well as the two extra memory copy instances.

While at it, let's fixes printf("%08s", "abcd") which used to
produce "0000abcd".

a6891e0313 prf.c: make it 64-bit compatible
On 64-bit systems the most notable difference is due to longs and
pointers being 64-bit wide. Therefore there must be a distinction
between ints and longs.

This patch:

- Make support functions take a long rather than an int as this can
  carry both longs and ints just fine.

- Use unsigned values in _to_x() to cover the full unsigned range
  and avoid sign-extending big values. Negative values are already
  converted to unsigned after printing the minus sign. This also makes
  division and modulus operations slightly faster.

- Remove excessive casts around va_arg() and use proper types with it.

- Implement the l and z length modifiers as they're significant on
  64-bit targets. While at it, throw in the z modifier as well.
  Since they all come down to 32-bit values on 32-bit targets, the
  added code should get optimized away as duplicate by the compiler
  in that case.

03170c040c string.c: make it 64-bit compatible
Casting a pointer to an int produces warnings with 64-bit targets.
Furthermore, an int is not always the optimal memory element that
can be copied in that case.

Let's use uintptr_t to cast pointers to integers for alignment
determination purposes, and mem_word_t to denote the optimal memory
"word" that can be copied on the platform.

The mem_word_t definition is equivalent to uintptr_t by default.
However, some 32-bit targets such as ARM platforms with the LDRD/STRD
instructions could benefit from word_t being an uint64_t.

The malloc and libc partitions are now only instantiated
if there is some data to put in them.

Fixes: #13923

4ce652e4b2 userspace: remove APP_SHARED_MEM Kconfig
This is an integral part of userspace and cannot be used
on its own. Fold into the main userspace configuration.

4b4f773484 libc: set up memory partitions
* Newlib now defines a special z_newlib_partition containing
  all globals relevant to newlib. Most of these are in libc.a
  with a heap tracking variable in newlib's hooks.

* Both C libraries now expose a k_mem_partition containing the
  bounds of the malloc heap arena. Threads that want to use
  libc malloc() will need to add this to their memory domain.

* z_newlib_get_heap_bounds has been removed, in favor of the
  memory partition for the heap arena

* ztest now includes the C library partitions in its memory
  domain.

* The mem_alloc test now runs in user mode to prove that this
  all works for both C libraries.

b69d0da82d arch/x86_64: New architecture added
This patch adds a x86_64 architecture and qemu_x86_64 board to Zephyr.
Only the basic architecture support needed to run 64 bit code is
added; no drivers are added, though a low-level console exists and is
wired to printk().

The support is built on top of a "X86 underkernel" layer, which can be
built in isolation as a unit test on a Linux host.

Limitations:

+ Right now the SDK lacks an x86_64 toolchain.  The build will fall
  back to a host toolchain if it finds no cross compiler defined,
  which is tested to work on gcc 8.2.1 right now.

+ No x87/SSE/AVX usage is allowed.  This is a stronger limitation than
  other architectures where the instructions work from one thread even
  if the context switch code doesn't support it.  We are passing
  -no-sse to prevent gcc from automatically generating SSE
  instructions for non-floating-point purposes, which has the side
  effect of changing the ABI.  Future work to handle the FPU registers
  will need to be combined with an "application" ABI distinct from the
  kernel one (or just to require USERSPACE).

+ Paging is enabled (it has to be in long mode), but is a 1:1 mapping
  of all memory.  No MMU/USERSPACE support yet.

+ We are building with -mno-red-zone for stack size reasons, but this
  is a valuable optimization.  Enabling it requires automatic stack
  switching, which requires a TSS, which means it has to happen after
  MMU support.

+ The OS runs in 64 bit mode, but for compatibility reasons is
  compiled to the 32 bit "X32" ABI.  So while the full 64 bit
  registers and instruction set are available, C pointers are 32 bits
  long and Zephyr is constrained to run in the bottom 4G of memory.
