Summary:
- SP_SECTION was introduced to allocate spinlock in non-cachable
region mainly for Cortex-A to stabilize the NuttX SMP kernel
- However, all spinlocks are now allocated in cachable area and
works without any problems
- So SP_SECTION should be removed to simplify the kernel code
Impact:
- None
Testing:
- Build test only

Summary:
- This commit changes spinlock APIs (spin_lock_irqsave/spin_unlock_irqrestore)
- In the previous implementation, the global spinlock (i.e. g_irq_spin) was used.
- This commit allows to use caller specific spinlock but also supports to use
g_irq_spin for backword compatibility (In this case, NULL must be specified)
Impact:
- None
Testing:
- Tested with the following configurations
- spresnse:wifi, spresense:wifi_smp
- esp32-devkitc:smp (QEMU), sabre6-quad:smp (QEMU)
- maxi-bit:smp (QEMU), sim:smp
- stm32f4discovery:wifi

Summary:
- I noticed that Cortex-A SGI can be masked
- We thought the SGI is not maskable
- Although I can not remember how I tested it before
- It actually works as expected now
- Also, fixed the number of remaining bugs in TODO
Impact:
- No impact
Testing:
- Tested with sabre-6quad:smp (QEMU and dev board)
- Add the following code in up_idle() before calling asm("WFI");
+ if (0 != up_cpu_index())
+ {
+ up_irq_save();
+ }
- Run the hello app, you can see "Hello, World!!"
- But nsh will freeze soon because arm_pause_handler is not called.

Summary:
- I found a deadlock during Wi-Fi audio streaming test plus stress test
- The testing environment was spresense:wifi_smp (NCPUS=4)
- The deadlock happened because two CPUs called up_cpu_pause() almost simultaneously
- This situation should not happen, because up_cpu_pause() is called in a critical section
- Actually, the latter call was from nxsem_post() in an IRQ handler
- And when enter_critical_section() was called, irq_waitlock() detected a deadlock
- Then it called up_cpu_paused() to break the deadlock
- However, this resulted in setting g_cpu_irqset on the CPU
- Even though another CPU had held a g_cpu_irqlock
- This situation violates the critical section and should be avoided
- To avoid the situation, if a CPU sets g_cpu_irqset after calling up_cpu_paused()
- The CPU must release g_cpu_irqlock first
- Then retry irq_waitlock() to acquire g_cpu_irqlock
Impact:
- Affect SMP
Testing:
- Tested with spresense:wifi_smp (NCPUS=2 and 4)
- Tested with spresense:smp
- Tested with sim:smp
- Tested with sabre-6quad:smp (QEMU)
- Tested with maix-bit:smp (QEMU)
- Tested with esp32-core:smp (QEMU)
- Tested with lc823450-xgevk:rndis

Summary:
- ARCH_GLOBAL_IRQDISABLE was initially introduced for LC823450 SMP
- At that time, i.MX6 (quad Cortex-A9) did not use this config
- However, this option is now used for all CPUs which support SMP
- So it's good timing for refactoring the code
Impact:
- Should have no impact because the logic is the same for SMP
Testing:
- Tested with board: spresense:smp, spresense:wifi_smp
- Tested with qemu: esp32-core:smp, maix-bit:smp, sabre-6quad:smp
- Build only: lc823450-xgevk:rndis, sam4cmp-db:nsh

* Simplify EINTR/ECANCEL error handling
1. Add semaphore uninterruptible wait function
2 .Replace semaphore wait loop with a single uninterruptible wait
3. Replace all sem_xxx to nxsem_xxx
* Unify the void cast usage
1. Remove void cast for function because many place ignore the returned value witout cast
2. Replace void cast for variable with UNUSED macro
sched/init/nx_bringup.c: Fix a naming collision.
sched/init: Rename os_start() to nx_start()
sched/init: Rename os_smp* to nx_smp*
sched/init: Rename os_bringup to nx_bringup
sched/init: rename all internal static functions to begin with nx_ vs os_
fs/procfs/fs_procfsproc: Extended the process ID ProcFS output to show per-thread maximum time for pre-emption disabled and maximum time within a critical section.
sched/sched/sched_critmonitor.c: Adds data collection logic in support of monitoring critical sections and pre-emption state.
Squashed commit of the following:
Add procfs support to show stopped tasks. Add nxsig_action() to solve a chicken and egg problem: We needed to use sigaction to set default actions, but sigaction() would refuse to set actions if the default actions could not be caught or ignored.
sched/signal: Add configuration option to selectively enabled/disable default signal actions for SIGSTOP/SIGSTP/SIGCONT and SIGKILL/SIGINT. Fix some compilation issues.
sched/sched: Okay.. I figured out a way to handle state changes that may occur while they were stopped. If a task/thread was already blocked when SIGSTOP/SIGSTP was received, it will restart in the running state. I will appear that to the task/thread that the blocked condition was interrupt by a signal and returns the EINTR error.
sched/group and sched/sched: Finish framework for continue/resume logic.
sched/signal: Roughing out basic structure to support task suspend/resume
