In the FLAT build if CONFIG_LIB_SYSCALL=y, then the function task_spawn() will be duplicated.: One version in libs/libc/spawn and one version in sched/task.
The version of task_spawn in lib/libc/spawn exists only if CONFIG_LIB_SYSCALL is selected. In that case, the one in sched/task/task_spawn.c should be static, at least in the FLAT build.
The version of task_spawn.c in libs/libc/spawn simply marshals the parameters into a structure and calls nx_task_spawn(). If CONFIG_LIB_SYSCALL is defined then nx_task_spawn() will un-marshal the data can call the real task spawn. This nonsense is only necessary because task_spawn has 8 parameters and the maximum number of parameters in a system call is only 6.
Without syscalls: Application should call directly in task_spawn() in sched/task/task_spawn.c and, hence, it must not be static
With syscalls: Application should call the marshalling task_spawn() in libs/libc/spawn/lib_task_spawn.c -> That will call the autogenerated nx_task_spawn() proxy -> And generate a system call -> The system call will the unmarshalling nx_task_spawn() in sched/task/task_spawn.c -> Which will, finally, call the real task_spawn().
The side-effect of making task_spawn() static is that it then cannot be used within the OS. But as far as I can tell, nothing in the OS itself currently uses task_spawn() so I think it is safe to make it conditionally static. But that only protects from duplicate symbols in the useless case mentioned above.
Block and MTD drivers may be opened and managed as though they were character drivers. But this is really sleight of hand; there is a hidden character driver proxy that mediates the interface to the block and MTD drivers in this case.
fstat(), however, did not account for this. It would report the characteristics of the proxy character driver, not of the underlying block or MTD driver.
This change corrects that. fstat now checks if the character driver is such a proxy and, if so, reports the characteristics of the underlying block or MTD driver, not the proxy character driver.
sched_releasetcb() will normally free the stack allocated for a task. However, a task with a custom, user-managed stack may be created using nxtask_init() followed by nxtask_activer. If such a custom stack is used then it must not be free in this many or a crash will most likely result.
This chagne addes a flag call TCB_FLAG_CUSTOM_STACK that may be passed in the the pre-allocted TCB to nxtask_init(). This flag is not used internally anywhere in the OS except that if set, it will prevent sched_releasetcb() from freeing that custom stack.
Add trivial function nxtask_uninit(). This function will undo all operations on a TCB performed by task_init() and release the TCB by calling kmm_free(). This is intended primarily to support error recovery operations after a successful call to task_init() such was when a subsequent call to task_activate fails.
That error recovery is trivial but not obvious. This helper function should eliminate confusion about what to do to recover after calling nxtask_init()
-Move task_init() and task_activate() prototypes from include/sched.h to include/nuttx/sched.h. These are internal OS functions and should not be exposed to the user.
-Remove references to task_init() and task_activate() from the User Manual.
-Rename task_init() to nxtask_init() since since it is an OS internal function
-Rename task_activate() to nxtask_activate since it is an OS internal function
Functions within the OS must never set the errno value. fs_fdopen() was setting the errno value. Now, after some parameter changes, it reports errors via a negated errno integer return value as do most all other internal OS functions.
1. Internal scheduler functions should begin with nxsched_, not sched_
2. Follow the consistent naming patter of https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NUTTX/Naming+of+OS+Internal+Functions
# clock_systimer -> clock_systime_tick
# clock_systimespec -> clock_systime_timespec
sched_oneshot_extclk -> nxsched_oneshot_extclk
sched_period_extclk -> nxsched_period_extclk
# nxsem_setprotocol -> nxsem_set_protocol
# nxsem_getprotocol -> nxsem_get_protocol
# nxsem_getvalue -> nxsem_get_value
nxsem_initholders -> nxsem_initialize_holders
nxsem_addholder -> nxsem_add_holder
nxsem_addholder_tcb -> nxsem_add_holder_tcb
nxsem_boostpriority -> nxsem_boost_priority
nxsem_releaseholder -> nxsem_release_holder
nxsem_restorebaseprio -> nxsem_restore_baseprio
Some planned name changed were skipped for now because they effect too many files (and would require many hours of coding style fixups).
All complaints fixed except for those that were not possible to fix:
- Used of Mixed case identifier in ESP32 files. These are references to Expressif ROM functions which are outside of the scope of NuttX.

1. Add missing conditional logic in include/sys/syscall_lookup.h
2. CONFIG_NPTHREAD_KEYS removed from code but was still in sched/Kconfig
3. Refresh all configurations affected by PR 1007
4. syscall/syscall_funclookup.c needs to include nuttx/tls.h
1. Move pthread-specific data files from sched/pthread/ to libs/libc/pthread.
2. Remove pthread-specific data functions from syscalls.
3. Implement tls_alloc() and tls_free() with system calls.
4. Reimplement pthread_key_create() and pthread_key_free() using tls_alloc() and tls_free().
5. Reimplement pthread_set_specific() and pthread_get_specicif() using tls_set_value() and tls_get_value()
- Remove per-thread errno from the TCB structure (pterrno)
- Remove get_errno() and set_errno() as functions. The macros are still available as stubs and will be needed in the future if we need to access the errno from a different address environment (KERNEL mode).
- Add errno value to the tls_info_s structure definitions
- Move sched/errno to libs/libc/errno. Replace old TCB access to the errno with TLS access to the errno.
Revert a portion of eca7059785 that
causes compiler warnings about unused variables if nx_start() is not
initializing any of the user-mode heap, kernel-mode heap, or page
allocator:
init/nx_start.c: In function 'nx_start':
init/nx_start.c:552:14: warning: unused variable 'heap_size'
[-Wunused-variable]
size_t heap_size;
^~~~~~~~~
init/nx_start.c:551:17: warning: unused variable 'heap_start'
[-Wunused-variable]

sched/init/nx_start.c:
* If none of MM_KERNEL_USRHEAP_INIT, CONFIG_MM_KERNEL_HEAP, or
CONFIG_MM_PGALLOC are defined, the variables heap_start and
heap_size were declared but never used.
* This change reinstates wrapping the block with a preprocessor
conditional to prevent the variables being declared if they will
not be used. This preprocessor condition was removed in the
above-mentioned commit.
There is a DEBUGPANIC in some logic. This happens if a a task exists at certain points with priority inheritance enabled. This event was not expected in the original design (although logic was provided to support it). Since, apparently, it does happen, the DEBUGPANIC must be removed.
Noted by Brennan Ashton.
The sched_get_stackinfo() interface was just added. However, it occurs to me that it is a dangerous feature and could lead to security problems. In FLAT and PROTECTED modes, if you get access to any other threads stack, you could do harm.
This commit adds some level of security. Basically, it implements these rules:
1. Any thread may query its own stack,
2. A kernel thread may query the stack of any other thread
3. Application threads, however, may query only the stacks of threads within the same task group, i.e., the main thread and any of the child pthreads created with the main thread as a parent or grandparent or great-grandpart ...
The new OS interface, sched_get_stackinfo() combines two pthread-specific interfaces into a single generic interface. The existing pthread_get_stackaddr_np() and pthread_get_stacksize_np() are moved from sched/pthread to libs/libc/pthread.
There are two motivations for this change: First, it reduces the number of system calls. Secondly, it adds a common hook that is going to used for a future implementation of TLS.
