In SMP, the system timer is used for timeslicing on auxiliary CPUs,
but the base system timekeeping via _nano_sys_clock_tick_announce() is
still done on CPU0 only (because the framework isn't prepared for
asynchronous notification yet). Skip processing on CPU1+.
Also, due to a hardware interaction* that is difficult to work around,
timer initialization on the auxiliary CPUs is done at the very end of
the CPU bringup, just before the swap into the scheduler. A
smp_timer_init() API has been added for this purpose.
* On ESP-32, enabling the timer seems to result in a near-synchronous
interrupt being delivered despite my best attempts to keep it
masked, then blowing things up because the CPU record isn't set up
to handle it yet.

The earlier xtensa layer put the timer initialization and update
directly into the interrupt handler, which is... weird. Under asm2,
it's just a regular ISR and needs to do the work in the driver.
Really, this driver needs a bunch of cleanup. The xtensa CPU timer is
two registers and one ISR: a global cycle count register, and a
compare register that will fire the IRQ when they match. There is
*way* too much code here.

The existing hand-written interrupt code is manually calling the timer
ISR, which is sort of silly and about to be replaced. Correctly
declare the ISR with IRQ_CONNECT() so that a conventional interrupt
handling implementation can find it. With current code this is a
noop.

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

Besides the fact that we did not have that for the current supported
boards, that makes sense for this new, virtualized mode, that is meant
to be run on top of full-fledged x86 64 CPUs.
By having xAPIC mode access only, Jailhouse has to intercept those MMIO
reads and writes, in order to examine what they do and arbitrate if it's
safe or not (e.g. not all values are accepted to ICR register). This
means that we can't run away from having a VM-exit event for each and
every access to APIC memory region and this impacts the latency the
guest OS observes over bare metal a lot.
When in x2APIC mode, Jailhouse does not require VM-exits for MSR
accesses other that writes to the ICR register, so the latency the guest
observes is reduced to almost zero.
Here are some outputs of the the command line
$ sudo ./tools/jailhouse cell stats tiny-demo

See that under x2APIC mode on both Jailhouse/root-cell and guest, the
interruptions from the hypervisor are minimal. That is not the case when
Jailhouse is on xAPIC mode, though. Note also that, as a plus, x2APIC
accesses on the guest will map to xAPIC MMIO on the hypervisor just
fine.

Adds event based scheduling logic to the kernel. Updates
management of timeouts, timers, idling etc. based on
time tracked at events rather than periodic ticks. Provides
interfaces for timers to announce and get next timer expiry
based on kernel scheduling decisions involving time slicing
of threads, timeouts and idling. Uses wall time units instead
of ticks in all scheduling activities.
The implementation involves changes in the following areas
1. Management of time in wall units like ms/us instead of ticks
The existing implementation already had an option to configure
number of ticks in a second. The new implementation builds on
top of that feature and provides option to set the size of the
scheduling granurality to mili seconds or micro seconds. This
allows most of the current implementation to be reused. Due to
this re-use and co-existence with tick based kernel, the names
of variables may contain the word "tick". However, in the
tickless kernel implementation, it represents the currently
configured time unit, which would be be mili seconds or
micro seconds. The APIs that take time as a parameter are not
impacted and they continue to pass time in mili seconds.
2. Timers would not be programmed in periodic mode
generating ticks. Instead they would be programmed in one
shot mode to generate events at the time the kernel scheduler
needs to gain control for its scheduling activities like
timers, timeouts, time slicing, idling etc.
3. The scheduler provides interfaces that the timer drivers
use to announce elapsed time and get the next time the scheduler
needs a timer event. It is possible that the scheduler may not
need another timer event, in which case the system would wait
for a non-timer event to wake it up if it is idling.
4. New APIs are defined to be implemented by timer drivers. Also
they need to handler timer events differently. These changes
have been done in the HPET timer driver. In future other timers
that support tickles kernel should implement these APIs as well.
These APIs are to re-program the timer, update and announce
elapsed time.
5. Philosopher and timer_api applications have been enabled to
test tickless kernel. Separate configuration files are created
which define the necessary CONFIG flags. Run these apps using
following command
make pristine && make BOARD=qemu_x86 CONF_FILE=prj_tickless.conf qemu

The LOAPIC driver was doing this in a way susceptible to a very
nasty race condition: the CCR register could reset and be readable
before the associated interrupt could be delivered.
This resulted in a small window of time where CCR was reset, but
accumulated_cycle_count not updated, causing some calls to
k_cycle_get_32() to appear to jump backwards in time.
Just use the x86 TSC for these cycle timestamps. A divisor may be
provided in cases where the CPU clock speed is some multiple of
the bus speed. Modern x86 CPUs do not change their TSC rate even
when adjusting cpu frequency, so this should be a reliable timing
source.

This is a reworked version of the previous RTC driver. The main
changed is related to the handling _timer_idle_exit() on non-RTC
wake-ups. The previous version didn't announce the elapsed time
to the kernel in _timer_idle_exit(). Additionally, the driver now
makes sure never to announce more idle ticks than the kernel asked
for, since the kernel does not handle negative deltas in its timeout
queues.
