During boot process, the boot sections need to be pinned in
memory to prevent them from being paged out (to avoid
pages being paged out and immediately paged in again).
Once the boot process is completed (just before calling main()),
the boot sections can be unpinned so the memory can be
used for demand paging for paging in data pages.

The constructors of static objects are stored in ".ctors"
section. In case of MWDT toolchain we have incompatible
".ctors" section format with GNU toolchain. So let's use
initialization code provided by MWDT instead of Zephyr one
in case of MWDT toolchain usage.
As it is done for GNU toolchain We call constructors of
static objects but we don't call destructors for them.

On the native_posix board global object constructors
are run by the underlying OS runtime init prior to
Zephyr kernel init. Thus Zephyr should not run global
object constructors a second time. Doing so breaks
application behavior that relies on global
constructors doing work that must be done only once.
See bug #36858 for more information.

The scheduler has historically had an API where an application can
inform the kernel that it will never create a thread that can be
preempted, and the kernel and architecture layer would use that as an
optimization hint to eliminate some code paths.
Those optimizations have dwindled to almost nothing at this point, and
they're now objectively a smaller impact than the special casing that
was required to handle the idle thread (which, obviously, must always
be preemptible).
Fix this by eliminating the idea of "cooperative only" and ensuring
that there will always be at least one preemptible priority with value
>=0. CONFIG_NUM_PREEMPT_PRIORITIES now specifies the number of
user-accessible priorities other than the idle thread.
The only remaining workaround is that some older architectures (and
also SPARC) use the CONFIG_PREEMPT_ENABLED=n state as a hint to skip
thread switching on interrupt exit. So detect exactly those platforms
and implement a minimal workaround in the idle loop (basically "just
call swap()") instead, with a big explanation.
Note that this also fixes a bug in one of the philosophers samples,
where it would ask for 6 cooperative priorities but then use values -7
through -2. It was assuming the kernel would magically create a
cooperative priority for its idle thread, which wasn't correct even
before.

This adds the necessary bits for linker scripts and source code
to specify which symbols need to be pinned in memory. This is
needed for demand paging as some functions and data must reside
in memory all the time and cannot be paged out (e.g. paging,
scheduler, and interrupt routines for functionality).
This is up to the arch/SoC/board to define the sections in
their linker scripts as the pinned section may need special
alignment which cannot be done in common script snippets.

This adds the necessary bits for linker scripts and source code
to specify which symbols are needed for boot process so they
can be grouped together.
One use of this is to group boot related code and data so these
won't interval with other kernel and application for better
caching.
This is a must for demand paging as some functions and data
must be available during the boot process and before the memory
manager is initialized. During this time, paging cannot be used
so symbols linked in virtual memory space are unavailable.

Due to the use of gperf to generate hash table for kobjects,
the addresses of these kobjects cannot change during the last
few phases of linking (especially between zephyr_prebuilt.elf
and zephyr.elf). Because of this, the gperf generated data
needs to be placed at the end of memory to avoid pushing symbols
around in memory. This prevents moving these generated blocks
to earlier sections, for example, pinned data section needed
for demand paging. So create placeholders for use in
intermediate linking to reserve space for these generated blocks.
Due to uncertainty on the size of these blocks, more space is
being reserved which could result in wasted space. Though, this
retains the use of hash table for faster lookup.

Initialize all device objects in a batch before invoking any code that
might try to reference data in them. This eliminates a race condition
enabled by the ability to resolve a device structure at build time,
and reference it from one device's initialization routine before the
device itself has been initialized.
While the device is pulled from the sys_init records rather than
static devices, all in-tree init_entry records that are associated
with devices are produced via Z_DEVICE_DEFINE(), so there should be no
static devices that would be missed by instead iterating over the
device records.

Zephyr SMP kernels need to be able to run on architectures with
incoherent caches. Naive implementation of synchronization on such
architectures requires extensive cache flushing (e.g. flush+invalidate
everything on every spin lock operation, flush on every unlock!) and
is a performance problem.
Instead, many of these systems will have access to separate "coherent"
(usually uncached) and "incoherent" regions of memory. Where this is
available, place all writable data sections by default into the
coherent region. An "__incoherent" attribute flag is defined for data
regions that are known to be CPU-local and which should use the cache.
By default, this is used for stack memory.
Stack memory will be incoherent by default, as by definition it is
local to its current thread. This requires special cache management
on context switch, so an arch API has been added for that.
Also, when enabled, add assertions to strategic places to ensure that
shared kernel data is indeed coherent. We check thread objects, the
_kernel struct, waitq's, timeouts and spinlocks. In practice almost
all kernel synchronization is built on top of these structures, and
any shared data structs will contain at least one of them.

Fixes races where threads on another CPU are joining the
exiting thread, since it could still be running when
the joiners wake up on a different CPU.
Fixes problems where the thread object is still being
used by the kernel when the fn_abort() function is called,
preventing the thread object from being recycled or
freed back to a slab pool.
Fixes a race where a thread is aborted from one CPU while
it self-aborts on another CPU, that was currently worked
around with a busy-wait.
Precedent for doing this comes from FreeRTOS, which also
performs final thread cleanup in the idle thread.
Some logic in z_thread_single_abort() rearranged such that
when we release sched_spinlock, the thread object pointer
is never dereferenced by the kernel again; join waiters
or fn_abort() logic may free it immediately.
An assertion added to z_thread_single_abort() to ensure
it never gets called with thread == _current outside of an ISR.
Some logic has been added to ensure z_thread_single_abort()
tasks don't run more than once.

Several reviewers agreed that DT_HAS_NODE_STATUS_OKAY(...) was an
undesirable API for the following reasons:
- it's inconsistent with the rest of the DT_NODE_HAS_FOO names
- DT_NODE_HAS_FOO_BAR_BAZ(node) was agreed upon as a shorthand
for macros which are equivalent to
DT_NODE_HAS_FOO(node) && DT_NODE_HAS_BAR(node) &&
- DT_NODE_HAS_BAZ(node), and DT_HAS_NODE_STATUS_OKAY is an odd duck
- DT_NODE_HAS_STATUS(..., okay) was viewed as more readable anyway
- it is seen as a somewhat aesthetically challenged name
Replace all users with DT_NODE_HAS_STATUS(..., okay), which is
semantically equivalent.

hand, along with whitespace, docs, and comment changes. These special

When the device driver model got introduced, there were no concept of
SYS_INIT() which can be seen as software service. These were introduced
afterwards and reusing the device infrastructure for simplicity.
However, it meant to allocate a bit too much for something that only
required an initialization function to be called at right time.
Thus refactoring the devices structures relevantly:
- introducing struct init_entry which is a generic init end-point
- struct deviceconfig is removed and struct device owns everything now.
- SYS_INIT() generates only a struct init_entry via calling
INIT_ENTRY_DEFINE()
- DEVICE_AND_API_INIT() generates a struct device and calls
INIT_ENTRY_DEFINE()
- init objects sections are in ROM
- device objects sections are in RAM (but will end up in ROM once they
will be 'constified')
It also generate a tiny memory gain on both ROM and RAM, which is nice.
Perhaps kernel/device.c could be renamed to something more relevant.
