Defines an object tracing list for each kernel object type
that supports object tracing, and ensures that both statically
and dynamically defined objects are added to the appropriate list.
Ensure that each static kernel object is grouped together with
the other static objects of the same type. Revise the initialization
function for each kernel type (or create it, if needed) so that
each static object is added to the object tracing list for its
associated type.
Note 1: Threads are handled a bit differently than other kernel
object types. A statically-defined thread is added to the thread
list when the thread is started, not when the kernel initializes.
Also, a thread is removed from the thread list when the thread
terminates or aborts, unlike other types of kernel objects which
are never removed from an object tracing list. (Such support would
require the creation of APIs to "uninitialize" the kernel object.)
Note 2: The list head variables for all kernel object types
are now explicitly defined. However, the list head variable for
the ring buffer type continues to be implicitly defined for the
time being, since it isn't considered to be an core kernel object
type.

Needed by the kernel event logger when it records a context switch.
The kernel event logger releases a semaphore when a new event is
available in the log so that a thread can consume the event. However,
giving that semaphore cannot add a context switch event itself in the
log or the logger would be caught in an infinite loop.

Build breaks when enabling CONFIG_NEWLIB_LIBC because it has its own
sched.h file.
This is a bad symptom of a greater issue: the build system passes many
'-I<path>' options to the compiler, and that allows including header
files by simply specifying their names (when located somewhere else than
<zephyr>/include/) and can cause clashes when several files in different
locations have the same name, like in this case.
Fixes ZEP-1062.

Rename remaining functions to fit with kernel naming convention for
internal interfaces. Use struct k_thread instead of struct tcs.

Rename _do_timeout_abort to _abort_timeout, rename _timeout_abort to
_abort_thread_timeout to better reflect their functionalities. Have the
latter call the former, remove _do_timeout_abort and
_nano_timer_timeout_abort.

Semaphore groups are enabled by default. Disabling them will both
decrease the footprint as well as improve the performance of the
k_sem_give() routine.

Summary of what this includes:
initialization:
Copy from nano_init.c, with the following changes:
- the main thread is the continuation of the init thread, but an idle
thread is created as well
- _main() initializes threads in groups and starts the EXE group
- the ready queues are initialized
- the main thread is marked as non-essential once the system init is
done
- a weak main() symbol is provided if the application does not provide a
main() function
scheduler:
Not an exhaustive list, but basically provide primitives for:
- adding/removing a thread to/from a wait queue
- adding/removing a thread to/from the ready queue
- marking thread as ready
- locking/unlocking the scheduler
- instead of locking interrupts
- getting/setting thread priority
- checking what state (coop/preempt) a thread is currenlty running in
- rescheduling threads
- finding what thread is the next to run
- yielding/sleeping/aborting sleep
- finding the current thread
threads:
- Add operationns on threads, such as creating and starting them.
standardized handling of kernel object return codes:
- Kernel objects now cause _Swap() to return the following values:
0 => operation successful
-EAGAIN => operation timed out
-Exxxxx => operation failed for another reason
- The thread's swap_data field can be used to return any additional
information required to complete the operation, such as the actual
result of a successful operation.
timeouts:
- same as nano timeouts, renamed to simply 'timeouts'
- the kernel is still tick-based, but objects take timeout values in
ms for forward compatibility with a tickless kernel.
semaphores:
- Port of the nanokernel semaphores, which have the same basic behaviour
as the microkernel ones. Semaphore groups are not yet implemented.
- These semaphores are enhanced in that they accept an initial count and a
count limit. This allows configuring them as binary semaphores, and also
provisioning them without having to "give" the semaphore multiple times
before using them.
mutexes:
- Straight port of the microkernel mutexes. An init function is added to
allow defining them at runtime.
pipes:
- straight port
timers:
- amalgamation of nano and micro timers, with all functionalities
intact.
events:
- re-implementation, using semaphores and workqueues.
mailboxes:
- straight port
message queues:
- straight port of microkernel FIFOs
memory maps:
- straight port
workqueues:
- Basically, have all APIs follow the k_ naming rule, and use the _timeout
subsystem from the unified kernel directory, and not the _nano_timeout
one.
stacks:
- Port of the nanokernel stacks. They can now have multiple threads
pending on them and threads can wait with a timeout.
LIFOs:
- Straight port of the nanokernel LIFOs.
FIFOs:
- Straight port of the nanokernel FIFOs.
