Split ARM and ARM64 architectures.
Details:
- CONFIG_ARM64 is decoupled from CONFIG_ARM (not a subset anymore)
- Arch and include AArch64 files are in a dedicated directory
(arch/arm64 and include/arch/arm64)
- AArch64 boards and SoC are moved to soc/arm64 and boards/arm64
- AArch64-specific DTS files are moved to dts/arm64
- The A72 support for the bcm_vk/viper board is moved in the
boards/bcm_vk/viper directory

Introduce the basic ARM64 architecture support.
A new CONFIG_ARM64 symbol is introduced for the new architecture and new
cmake / Kconfig files are added to switch between ARM and ARM64.

Only a single bit of the 4-byte internal (thread.arch) status
variable 'mode' is currently used, when we build with User mode
support (CONFIG_USERSPACE=y). In this commit we extend the usage
of 'mode' variable, adding an additional bit-flag to track the
status of the floating point context in a particular thread,
i.e. to track whether FP context is active or not. The status
bit is meant to be used in context-switch, to restore the FP
register context when required.

and associated handlers.

This patch adds the generation and incorporation of privileged stack
regions that are used by ARM user mode threads. This patch adds the
infrastructure for privileged stacks. Later patches will utilize the
generated stacks and helper functions.

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.

There was a possible race condition when setting the return value of a
thread that is pending, from an ISR.
A kernel function causes a thread to pend, with the following series of
steps:
- disable interrupts
- move current thread to wait_q
- call _Swap
Depending if running on M3/4 or M0+, _Swap will either issue a svc #0,
or pend PendSV directly. The same problem exists in both cases.
M3/4:
__svc will:
- enable interrupts
- trigger __pendsv
M0+:
_Swap() will enable interrupts.
__pendsv will:
- save register context including PSP into the thread struct
If an interrupt occurs between interrupts being enabled them and
__pendsv saving PSP, and the ISR sets the pending thread's return value,
this will happen:
- sees the thread in a wait_q
- removes it
- makes it ready
- calls _set_thread_return_value
- _set_thread_return_value looks at the thread's saved PSP to poke
the value
In this scenario, PSP hasn't yet been updated by __pendsv so it's a
stale value from the previous context switch, resulting in unpredictable
word on the stack getting set to the return value.
There is no way to fix this issue and still have the return value being
delivered directly in the pending thread's exception stack frame, in the
M0+ case. There will always be a window between the unlocking of
interrupts and PendSV being handled. On M3/4, it could be possible with
the mix of SVC and PendSV, since the exception stack frame is created in
the __svc handler. However, because we want to keep the two
implementations as close as possible, and there were talks of moving
M3/4 to using PendSV only, to save an exception, the approach taken
solves both cases.
The approach taken is similar to the ARC and Nios2 ports, where
there is a field in the thread structure that holds the return value.
_Swap() then loads r0/a1 with that value just before returning.
Fixes ZEP-1289.

There was a lot of duplication between architectures for the definition
of threads and the "nanokernel" guts. These have been consolidated.
Now, a common file kernel/unified/include/kernel_structs.h holds the
common definitions. Architectures provide two files to complement it:
kernel_arch_data.h and kernel_arch_func.h. The first one contains at
least the struct _thread_arch and struct _kernel_arch data structures,
as well as the struct _callee_saved and struct _caller_saved register
layouts. The second file contains anything that needs what is provided
by the common stuff in kernel_structs.h. Those two files are only meant
to be included in kernel_structs.h in very specific locations.
The thread data structure has been separated into three major parts:
common struct _thread_base and struct k_thread, and arch-specific struct
_thread_arch. The first and third ones are included in the second.
The struct s_NANO data structure has been split into two: common struct
_kernel and arch-specific struct _kernel_arch. The latter is included in
the former.
Offsets files have also changed: nano_offsets.h has been renamed
kernel_offsets.h and is still included by the arch-specific offsets.c.
Also, since the thread and kernel data structures are now made of
sub-structures, offsets have to be added to make up the full offset.
Some of these additions have been consolidated in shorter symbols,
available from kernel/unified/include/offsets_short.h, which includes an
arch-specific offsets_arch_short.h. Most of the code include
offsets_short.h now instead of offsets.h.
