Convert sigset_t to an array type so that more than 32 signals can be supported.
Why not use a uin64_t?
- Using a uin32_t is more flexible if we decide to increase the number of signals beyound 64.
- 64-bit accesses are not atomic, at least not on 32-bit ARMv7-M and similar
- Keeping the base type as uint32_t does not introduce additional overhead due to padding to achieve 64-bit alignment of uin64_t
- Some architectures still supported by NuttX do not support uin64_t
types,
Increased the number of signals to 64. This matches Linux. This will support all xsignals defined by Linux and also 32 real time signals (also like Linux).
This is is a work in progress; a draft PR that you are encouraged to comment on.
The function is not relevant any longer, remove it. Also remove
save_addrenv_t, the parameter taken by up_addrenv_restore.
Implement addrenv_select() / addrenv_restore() to handle the temporary
instantiation of address environments, e.g. when a process is being
created.
Detach the address environment handling from the group structure to the
tcb. This is preparation to fix rare cases where the system (MMU) is left
without a valid page directory, e.g. when a process exits.

assert: Log the assertion expression in case of fail
Signed-off-by: Xiang Xiao <xiaoxiang@xiaomi.com>
_assert is a kernel procedure, entered via system call to make the core
dump in privileged mode.
Running exit() from this context is not OK as it runs the registered
exit functions and flushes streams, which must not be done
from privileged mode as it is a security hole.
Thus, implement assert() into user space (again) and remove the exit()
call from the kernel procedure.
Instantiate the correct address environment when reading the process's
argument vector. Otherwise doing this will crash the system every time,
causing a recursive assert loop.
Also try to do a bit of sanity checking before attempting to read the
process's memory, it might be in a bad state in which case this will
fail anyway.
