Adding the CONFIG_ARCH_PERF_EVENTS configuration to enable
hardware performance counting，solve the problem that some platform
hardware counting support is not perfect, you can choose to use
software interface.
This is configured using CONFIG_ARCH_PERF_EVENTS, so weak_functions
are removed to prevent confusion
To use hardware performance counting, must:
1. Configure CONFIG_ARCH_PERF_EVENTS, default selection
2. Call up_perf_init for initialization

The implementation of up_perf_*() is in a different static library in nuttx:
Hardware: libarch.a
Software: libdrivers.a (weak function)
Since functions with weak attributes cannot be correctly replaced in multiple static libraries,
this PR will use macros to replace whether the arch supports hardware perf events

1. as we can use fork to implement vfork, so we rename the vfork to
fork, and use the fork method as the base to implement vfork method
2. create the vfork function as a libc function based on fork

This change allows boards to define an additional kconfig option, which specifies the final link format of application executables.
By selecting `CONFIG_BINFMT_ELF_RELOCATABLE`, and providing an appropriate linker script, applications can be fully linked, removing the need to process relocations.
When asserting, automatically analyze whether
there is a deadlock in the thread, and if there
is a deadlock, print out the deadlocked thread.
The principle is to analyze whether there is
a lock ring through the tcb holder.

This adds functionality to map pages dynamically into kernel virtual
memory. This allows implementing I/O remap for example, which is a useful
(future) feature.
Now, the first target is to support mapping user pages for the kernel.
Why? There are some userspace structures that might be needed when the
userspace process is not running. Semaphores are one such example. Signals
and the WDT timeout both need access to the user semaphore to work
properly. Even though for this only obtaining the kernel addressable
page pool virtual address is needed, for completeness a procedure is
provided to map several pages.
If CONFIG_MM_CUSTOMIZE_MANAGER enabled on sim, malloc/mmap is bypassed to glibc, so the memory allocated without execution permisson.
For this case, CONFIG_ARCH_USE_TEXT_HEAP can be used.

1 Similar to Linux and zephyr, all implementations are in arm64_arch_timer.c
2 Arm64 tickless is turned off by default. If it needs to be turned on, you need to configure the switch CONFIG_SCHED_TICKLESS ON
3 The implementation strategy for tick/tickless is to use the timer inside the CPU and implement the timer driver based on the ARCH_TIMER framework.
4 We implemented tick_* Callback functions to adapt to the driven interface to avoid time format conversion overhead
5 In arm64_tick_cancel func，The remaining time that is not used, so this value can be ignored without reading the corresponding register to obtain the remaining cycles
6 Currently, tick/tickless can takes effect in SMP and non SMP mode, ostest can pass.

There is currently a big problem in the address environment handling which
is that the address environment is released too soon when the process is
exiting. The current MMU mappings will always be the exiting process's, which means
the system needs them AT LEAST until the next context switch happens. If
the next thread is a kernel thread, the address environment is needed for
longer.
Kernel threads "lend" the address environment of the previous user process.
This is beneficial in two ways:
- The kernel processes do not need an allocated address environment
- When a context switch happens from user -> kernel or kernel -> kernel,
the TLB does not need to be flushed. This must be done only when
changing to a different user address environment.
Another issue is when a new process is created; the address environment
of the new process must be temporarily instantiated by up_addrenv_select().
However, the system scheduler does not know that the process has a different
address environment to its own and when / if a context restore happens, the
wrong MMU page directory is restored and the process will either crash or
do something horribly wrong.
The following changes are needed to fix the issues:
- Add mm_curr which is the current address environment of the process
- Add a reference counter to safeguard the address environment
- Whenever an address environment is mapped to MMU, its reference counter
is incremented
- Whenever and address environment is unmapped from MMU, its reference
counter is decremented, and tested. If no more references -> drop the
address environment and release the memory as well
- To limit the context switch delay, the address environment is freed in
a separate low priority clean-up thread (LPWORK)
- When a process temporarily instantiates another process's address
environment, the scheduler will now know of this and will restore the
correct mappings to MMU
Why is this not causing more noticeable issues ? The problem only happens
under the aforementioned special conditions, and if a context switch or
IRQ occurs during this time.
The dependency should be vice versa; the MM_SHM should depend on the
existence of the virtual memory range allocator.
Create a new CONFIG flag CONFIG_ARCH_VMA_MAPPING, which will define that
there is a virtual memory range allocator. Make MM_SHM select that flag

Summary:
Arm64 support for NuttX, Features supported:
1. Cortex-a53 single core and SMP support: it's can run into nsh shell at
qemu virt machine.
2. qemu-a53 board configuration support: it's only for evaluate propose
3. FPU support for armv8-a: FPU context switching at NEON/floating-point
TRAP is supported.
4. psci interface, armv8 cache operation(data cache) and smccc support.
5. fix mass code style issue, thank for @xiaoxiang781216, @hartmannathan @pkarashchenko
Please refer to boards/arm64/qemu/qemu-a53/README.txt for detail
Note:
1. GCC MACOS issue
The GCC 11.2 toolchain for MACOS may get crash while compiling
float operation function, the following link describe the issue
and give analyse at the issue:
https://bugs.linaro.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5825
it's seem GCC give a wrong instruction at certain machine which
without architecture features
the new toolchain is not available still, so just disable the MACOS

option. This config was probably added in the early bring up of the
ESP32 chip. At that point the clock config was suppressed and we relied
on the bootloader. Now we can configure the clock from NuttX.
The option itself is still useful and can be used for any other
architecture or chip.
