Anas Nashif 57554055d2 kernel: add a new API for setting thread names
Added k_thread_name_set() and enable thread name setting when declaring
static threads. This is enabled only when THREAD_MONITOR is used. System
threads get a name by default.

Flavio Ceolin 4218d5f8f0 kernel: Make If statement have essentially Boolean type
Make if statement using pointers explicitly check whether the value is
NULL or not.

The C standard does not say that the null pointer is the same as the
pointer to memory address 0 and because of this is a good practice
always compare with the macro NULL.

Flavio Ceolin 65b5280e8f kernel: Check k_thread_create return value
k_thread_create is used only in k_word_q_start that has no error
handling, so the return of that function is not used.

Ignoring the return of _abort_timeout when there is nothing to
do. Either because the condition to return something different from 0
was prior checked or because it was called during come cleanup.

Flavio Ceolin 0866d18d03 irq: Fix irq_lock api usage
irq_lock returns an unsigned int, though, several places was using
signed int. This commit fix this behaviour.

In order to avoid this error happens again, a coccinelle script was
added and can be used to check violations.

Andy Ross 03c1d28e6e work_q: Correctly clear pending flag in delayed work queue, update docs
As discovered in https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr/issues/5952

...a duplicate call to k_delayed_work_submit_to_queue() on a work item
whose timeout had expired but which had not yet executed (i.e. it was
pending in the queue for the active work queue thread) would fail,
because the cancellation step wouldn't clear the PENDING bit, causing
the resubmission to see the object in an invalid state.  Trivially
fixed by adding a bit clear.

It also turns out that the behavior of the code doesn't match the
docs, which state that a PENDING work item is not supposed to be
cancelled at all.  Fix the docs to remove that.

And on yet further review, it turns out that there's no way to make a
test like the one in the linked bug threadsafe.  The work queue does
no synchronization by design, so if the user code does no external
synchronization it might very well clobber the running handler.  Added
a sentence to the docs to reflect this gotcha.

Andrew Boie c5c104f91e kernel: fix k_thread_stack_t definition
Currently this is defined as a k_thread_stack_t pointer.
However this isn't correct, stacks are defined as arrays. Extern
references to k_thread_stack_t doesn't work properly as the compiler
treats it as a pointer to the stack array and not the array itself.

Declaring as an unsized array of k_thread_stack_t doesn't work
well either. The least amount of confusion is to leave out the
pointer/array status completely, use pointers for function prototypes,
and define K_THREAD_STACK_EXTERN() to properly create an extern
reference.

The definitions for all functions and struct that use
k_thread_stack_t need to be updated, but code that uses them should
be unchanged.

Andrew Boie 945af95f42 kernel: introduce object validation mechanism
All system calls made from userspace which involve pointers to kernel
objects (including device drivers) will need to have those pointers
validated; userspace should never be able to crash the kernel by passing
it garbage.

The actual validation with _k_object_validate() will be in the system
call receiver code, which doesn't exist yet.

- CONFIG_USERSPACE introduced. We are somewhat far away from having an
  end-to-end implementation, but at least need a Kconfig symbol to
  guard the incoming code with. Formal documentation doesn't exist yet
  either, but will appear later down the road once the implementation is
  mostly finalized.

- In the memory region for RAM, the data section has been moved last,
  past bss and noinit. This ensures that inserting generated tables
  with addresses of kernel objects does not change the addresses of
  those objects (which would make the table invalid)

- The DWARF debug information in the generated ELF binary is parsed to
  fetch the locations of all kernel objects and pass this to gperf to
  create a perfect hash table of their memory addresses.

- The generated gperf code doesn't know that we are exclusively working
  with memory addresses and uses memory inefficently. A post-processing
  script process_gperf.py adjusts the generated code before it is
  compiled to work with pointer values directly and not strings
  containing them.

- _k_object_init() calls inserted into the init functions for the set of
  kernel object types we are going to support so far

Luiz Augusto von Dentz c1fa82b3c6 work_q: Make k_delayed_work_cancel cancel work already pending
This has been a limitation caused by k_fifo which could only remove
items from the beggining, but with the change to use k_queue in
k_work_q it is now possible to remove items from any position with
use of k_queue_remove.

Andrew Boie 507852a4ad kernel: introduce opaque data type for stacks
Historically, stacks were just character buffers and could be treated
as such if the user wanted to look inside the stack data, and also
declared as an array of the desired stack size.

This is no longer the case. Certain architectures will create a memory
region much larger to account for MPU/MMU guard pages. Unfortunately,
the kernel interfaces treat both the declared stack, and the valid
stack buffer within it as the same char * data type, even though these
absolutely cannot be used interchangeably.

We introduce an opaque k_thread_stack_t which gets instantiated by
K_THREAD_STACK_DECLARE(), this is no longer treated by the compiler
as a character pointer, even though it really is.

To access the real stack buffer within, the result of
K_THREAD_STACK_BUFFER() can be used, which will return a char * type.

This should catch a bunch of programming mistakes at build time:

- Declaring a character array outside of K_THREAD_STACK_DECLARE() and
  passing it to K_THREAD_CREATE
- Directly examining the stack created by K_THREAD_STACK_DECLARE()
  which is not actually the memory desired and may trigger a CPU
  exception

Andrew Boie d26cf2dc33 kernel: add k_thread_create() API
Unline k_thread_spawn(), the struct k_thread can live anywhere and not
in the thread's stack region. This will be useful for memory protection
scenarios where private kernel structures for a thread are not
accessible by that thread, or we want to allow the thread to use all the
stack space we gave it.

This requires a change to the internal _new_thread() API as we need to
provide a separate pointer for the k_thread.

By default, we still create internal threads with the k_thread in stack
memory. Forthcoming patches will change this, but we first need to make
it easier to define k_thread memory of variable size depending on
whether we need to store coprocessor state or not.

Kumar Gala cc334c7273 Convert remaining code to using newly introduced integer sized types
Convert code to use u{8,16,32,64}_t and s{8,16,32,64}_t instead of C99
integer types.  This handles the remaining includes and kernel, plus
touching up various points that we skipped because of include
dependancies.  We also convert the PRI printf formatters in the arch
code over to normal formatters.

David B. Kinder ac74d8b652 license: Replace Apache boilerplate with SPDX tag
Replace the existing Apache 2.0 boilerplate header with an SPDX tag
throughout the zephyr code tree. This patch was generated via a
script run over the master branch.

Also updated doc/porting/application.rst that had a dependency on
line numbers in a literal include.

Manually updated subsys/logging/sys_log.c that had a malformed
header in the original file.  Also cleanup several cases that already
had a SPDX tag and we either got a duplicate or missed updating.
