The `nocache` is not loadable, thus data stored therein cannot be
initialized by the startup code. This might be needed in special
cases. E.g. One might have a buffer which one wants to DMA into,
and which is a member of a struct. Other members of the struct one
may want to have initialized by the startup code.
The buffer thus should be placed in the `nocache` region, but for
the other members of the buffer to be initialized by the startup
code, the `nocache` region needs to be loadable.
Fix it by making the `nocache` region loadable. Adding a KConfig
symbol to do this optionally was considered, but deemed unnecessary
during the PR.

Currently, the soc/stm32/ccm.ld is not handled in
CMAKE_LINKER_GENERATOR.
This commit adds support, making STM32 supportable by
alternative linkers such as AC6 and IAR.
This commit also renames a variable to match all other
LOADADDR symbols.

Previously, when stack canaries were enabled, Zephyr applied this
protection to all functions. This commit introduces a new option that
allows stack canary protection to be applied selectively to specific
functions based on certain criteria.

ramfunc region is copied into RAM from FLASH region during XIP init. We
copy from the loadaddr of the region, and were previously loading to the
symbol __ramfunc_start. This is incorrect when using an MPU with
alignment requirements, as the __ramfunc_start symbol may have padding
placed before it in the region. The __ramfunc_start symbol still needs
to be aligned in order to be used by the MPU though, so define a new
symbol __ramfunc_region_start, and use that symbol when copying the
__ramfunc region from FLASH to RAM.

Up until now, the `__thread` keyword has been used for declaring
variables as Thread local storage. However, `__thread` is a GNU
specific keyword which thus limits compatibility with other
toolchains (for instance IAR).
This PR intoduces a new macro `Z_THREAD_LOCAL` which expands to the
corresponding C11, C23 or C++11 standard keyword based on the standard
that is specified during compilation, else it uses the old `__thread`
keyword.

Add new option to use thread local storage for stack
canaries. This makes harder to find the canaries location
and value. This is made optional because there is
a performance and size penalty when using it.

Zeroing the BSS and copying data to RAM with regular memset/memcpy may
cause problems when those functions are assuming a fully initialized
system for their optimizations to work e.g. some instructions require
an active MMU, but turning the MMU on needs the .bss section to be
cleared first, etc.
Commit c5b898743a ("aarch64: Fix alignment fault on z_bss_zero()")
provides a detailed explanation of such a case.
Replacing z_bss_zero() with an architecture specific one is problematic
as the former may see new sections added to it that would be missed by
the later. The same reasoning goes for z_data_copy().
Let's make maintenance much easier by providing weak versions of
memset/memcpy that can be overridden by architecture-specific safe
versions when needed.

Cleanup and preparation commit for linker script generator.
Zephyr linker scripts provides start and end symbols for each section,
and sometimes even size and LMA start symbols.
Generally, start and end symbols uses the following pattern, as:
Section name: foo
Section start symbol: __foo_start
Section end symbol: __foo_end
However, this pattern is not followed consistently.
To allow for linker script generation and ensure consistent naming of
symbols then the following pattern is introduced consistently to allow
for cleaner linker script generation.
Section name: foo
Section start symbol: __foo_start
Section end symbol: __foo_end
Section size symbol: __foo_size
Section LMA start symbol: __foo_load_start
This commit aligns the symbols for __itcm_load_start and
__dtcm_data_load_start to other symbols and in such a way they follow
consistent pattern which allows for linker script and scatter file
generation.
The symbols are named according to the section name they describe.
Section names are itcm and dtcm.
The following symbols are aligned in this commit:
- __itcm_rom_start -> __itcm_load_start
- __dtcm_data_rom_start -> __dtcm_data_load_start

A new group named data_region is introduced which instead spans all the

Adds a linker section for Cortex-M instruction tightly coupled memory
(ITCM), similar to the existing section for DTCM. A new executable MPU
region is not added as there isn't currently a need to make this section
accessible to user mode. This section can be enabled by setting a device
tree chosen node zephyr,itcm.
