3d58398c28 kernel: refactor to separate k_work_poll from k_work
The work poll API is defined in terms of the k_work API.  Shift a
structure definition around so it's not within the details of a
specific k_work API implementation.

9a594a0c1a lib/p4wq: Fix race with completed work items
Work items can be legally resubmitted from within their own handler.
Currently the p4wq detects this case by checking their thread field to
see if it's been set to NULL.  But that's a race, because if the item
was NOT resubmitted then it no longer belongs to the queue and may
have been freed or reused or otherwise clobbered legally by user code.

Instead, steal a single bit in the thread struct for this purpose.
This patch adds a K_CALLBACK_STATE bit in user_options and documents
it in such a way (as being intended for "callback manager" utilities)
that it can't be used recursively or otherwise collide.

Fixes #32052

ef626571b2 kernel/sched: Optimize deadline comparison
Needing to check the current cycle time (which involves a spinlock and
register read on most architectures) is wasteful in the scheduler
priority predicate, which is a hot path.  If we "burn" one bit of
precision (and document the rule), we can do the comparison without
knowing the current time.

2^31 cycles is still far longer than a live deadline thread in any
legitimate realtime app should ever live before being scheduled.

dadc6643e4 kernel/poll: Move "_poller" into thread struct, fix COHERENCE collision
Fix the issue where the kernel poll code would place the tracking
struct on the caller stack and share it with other threads, thus
creating a cache coherence issue on systems where KERNEL_COHERENCE is
enabled.

This works by eliminating the thread backpointer in struct _poller and
simply placing the (now just two-byte!) struct directly into the
thread struct.

Note that this doesn't attempt to fix the API paradigm that the
natural way to structure a call to k_poll() is to use an array of
k_poll_events on the CALLER's stack.  So it's likely that most
"typical" k_poll code is still going to have problems with
KERNEL_COHERENCE.  But at least now the kernel internals aren't
fundamentally broken.

310f60f5b6 kernel/poll: Store the work queue in the triggered work poll items
The poll code was playing this weird trick where the thread pointer in
the "struct _poller" object for a triggered work item.  It would not
be a thread to wake up, but instead a pointer to the (non-polling)
thread operated by the work queue being triggered.  The code would
never touch this thread, just use it as a way to get a pointer to the
enclosing work queue struct.

Just store the work queue pointer in the first place.  It's much
simpler, and makes future modifications to remove that thread pointer
possible.

6c82745cb3 kernel/poll: Use a separate thread backpointer for triggered work
The triggered work scheme uses a trick where it overloads the thread
pointer field of the struct poller (which normally stores the ID of

0c7af40d61 kernel/poll: Make the poll callback a single-byte enum instead
Somewhat weirdly, k_poll() can do one of two things when the set of
events is signaled: it can wake up a sleeping thread, or it can submit
an unrelated work item to a work queue.  The difference in behaviors
is currently captured by a callback, but as there are only two it's
cleaner to put this into a "mode" enumerant.  That also shrinks the
size of the data such that the poller struct can be moved somewhere
other than the calling stack.

cbff3e34d7 doc: kernel: workqueue: correct documentation of delayed work API
The delayed work API has been changed to allow cancellation in
conditions not previously documented, but this feature can cause both
submission and cancellation to fail in the general case.  Summarize
the conditions and highlight the importance of checking result codes

Also explicitly note that no kernel API can reliably indicate that a
work item has been completed, and that doing so is the responsibility
of the code that provides the work handler.

e0ca403f4c kernel: add assert for mis-used k_thread_create()
k_thread_create() works as expected on both uninitialized memory,

However, horrible and difficult to comprehend things can happen if a
thread object is already being used by the kernel and
k_thread_create() is called on it.

Historically this has been a problem with test cases trying to be
parsimonious with thread objects and not properly cleaning up
after themselves. Add an assertion for this which should catch
both the illegal creation of a thread already active, or threads
racing to create the same thread object.
