Joakim Andersson 1738f0e64b console: tty: Fix k_sem_take with wait time from ISR
Fix k_sem_take called with a timeout value other than K_NO_WAIT from
isr.
This happens when tty_irq_input_hook calls tty_putchar with the `~`
character to give the user a clue that input was lost.

This resulted in the following assert in sem.c:
	ASSERTION FAIL @ WEST_TOPDIR/zephyr/kernel/sem.c:140

Andy Ross 7832738ae9 kernel/timeout: Make timeout arguments an opaque type
Add a k_timeout_t type, and use it everywhere that kernel API
functions were accepting a millisecond timeout argument.  Instead of
forcing milliseconds everywhere (which are often not integrally
representable as system ticks), do the conversion to ticks at the
point where the timeout is created.  This avoids an extra unit
conversion in some application code, and allows us to express the
timeout in units other than milliseconds to achieve greater precision.

The existing K_MSEC() et. al. macros now return initializers for a
k_timeout_t.

The K_NO_WAIT and K_FOREVER constants have now become k_timeout_t
values, which means they cannot be operated on as integers.
Applications which have their own APIs that need to inspect these
vs. user-provided timeouts can now use a K_TIMEOUT_EQ() predicate to
test for equality.

Timer drivers, which receive an integer tick count in ther
z_clock_set_timeout() functions, now use the integer-valued
K_TICKS_FOREVER constant instead of K_FOREVER.

For the initial release, to preserve source compatibility, a
CONFIG_LEGACY_TIMEOUT_API kconfig is provided.  When true, the
k_timeout_t will remain a compatible 32 bit value that will work with
any legacy Zephyr application.

Some subsystems present timeout (or timeout-like) values to their own
users as APIs that would re-use the kernel's own constants and
conventions.  These will require some minor design work to adapt to
the new scheme (in most cases just using k_timeout_t directly in their
own API), and they have not been changed in this patch, instead
selecting CONFIG_LEGACY_TIMEOUT_API via kconfig.  These subsystems
include: CAN Bus, the Microbit display driver, I2S, LoRa modem
drivers, the UART Async API, Video hardware drivers, the console
subsystem, and the network buffer abstraction.

k_sleep() now takes a k_timeout_t argument, with a k_msleep() variant
provided that works identically to the original API.

Most of the changes here are just type/configuration management and
documentation, but there are logic changes in mempool, where a loop
that used a timeout numerically has been reworked using a new
z_timeout_end_calc() predicate.  Also in queue.c, a (when POLL was
enabled) a similar loop was needlessly used to try to retry the
k_poll() call after a spurious failure.  But k_poll() does not fail
spuriously, so the loop was removed.

Andy Ross 32bb2395c2 timeout: Fix up API usage
Kernel timeouts have always been a 32 bit integer despite the
existence of generation macros, and existing code has been
inconsistent about using them.  Upcoming commits are going to make the
timeout arguments opaque, so fix things up to be rigorously correct.
Changes include:

+ Adding a K_TIMEOUT_EQ() macro for code that needs to compare timeout
  values for equality (e.g. with K_FOREVER or K_NO_WAIT).

+ Adding a k_msleep() synonym for k_sleep() which can continue to take
  integral arguments as k_sleep() moves away to timeout arguments.

+ Pervasively using the K_MSEC(), K_SECONDS(), et. al. macros to
  generate timeout arguments.

+ Removing the usage of K_NO_WAIT as the final argument to
  K_THREAD_DEFINE().  This is just a count of milliseconds and we need
  to use a zero.

This patch include no logic changes and should not affect generated
code at all.

Ulf Magnusson 8d8d9904cd console: Have CONSOLE_GET{CHAR,LINE} dep. on SERIAL_SUPPORT_INTERRUPT
Overlooked dependency in commit 97de99adca ("console: kconfig: Have
CONSOLE_{GETCHAR,GETLINE} depend on UART_CONSOLE"). CONSOLE_GETCHAR and
CONSOLE_GETLINE select CONSOLE_HANDLER, which selects
UART_INTERRUPT_DRIVEN, which depends on SERIAL_SUPPORT_INTERRUPT.

Fixed some selects with unsatisfied dependencies in CI.

(CONSOLE_HANDLER also depends on SERIAL, but it's redundant, since it
already depends on UART_CONSOLE, which depends on SERIAL. This is
simplified in https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr/pull/22116.)

CONSOLE_GETCHAR and CONSOLE_GETLINE select CONSOLE_HANDLER and
UART_CONSOLE_DEBUG_SERVER_HOOKS, which depend on UART_CONSOLE, but
UART_CONSOLE is n for some boards, giving a select with unsatisfied

UART_CONSOLE there. Add a 'depends on UART_CONSOLE' to the 'choice' that
contains them.

Maybe the samples/subsys/console/{echo,getchar}/ samples shouldn't be

means that newly initialized tty starts in unbuffered mode, which

Paul Sokolovsky a7df3a1e09 tty: Support unbuffered operation to extend usecase coverage
The whole "tty" concept is conceived around efficient
interrupt-driven operation. However, it's beneficial to add
non interupt-driven operation under the same API:

1. Wider usecase coverage in general.
2. Allows to use the same familiar API (based on POSIX concepts)
even for UART implementations without interrupt support.
3. Allows to switch operation dynamically based on the needs.
For example, if the system is in degraded mode and interrupt
handling cannot be trusted/disabled, allows to still output
diagnostic information to user. This was the original motivation
to provide such a mode, to support logging subsystem's "panic"
mode.

To implement this feature, tty_set_rx_buf() and tty_set_tx_buf()
functions are provided, allowing to reconfigure buffers used
dynamically. If configured buffer length is 0, the operation
switched to unbuffered.

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

are similar to well-known ANSI C function getchar/gets/fgets, and
are intended to ease porting of existing applications to Zephyr, and
indeed, these functions (shaped as an external module) are already
used by few applications.

The implementation of the functions is structured as a new "console"
subsystem. The intention is that further generic console code may be
pulled there instead of being in drivers/console/. Besides the
functions themselves, initialization code and sample applications
are included.

At this time, there're may limitations of how these functions can
be used. For example, console_getchar() and console_getline() are
mutually exclusive, and both are incompatible with callback
(push-style) console API (and e.g. with console shell subsystem
which uses this API). Again, the intention is to make a first step
towards refactoring console subsystem to allow more flexible
real-world usage, better reusability and composability.
