Allan Stephens 70e4a80360 doc: Purge inappropriate fundamentals info from Kernel Primer
Incorporates the brief discussion of device driver support into
the Device Drivers document, so that the driver material is all
in one place. (Also converts a few unprintable characters in the
latter document to spaces, since they appear to have been used
by accident.)

Removes the empty discussion of networking support, to avoid
duplicating stuff already covered in the Networking document.

Relocates material that outlines the structure of a Zephyr application
so that it appears at the beginning of the "Application Development
Primer". (i.e. The primer now tells the reader the file structure of
an application, then explains how to create these files.)

Revises the description of the MDEF file to make it a bulleted item
(like the other file types are) and improve readability.

Commit: Benjamin Walsh <benjamin.walsh@windriver.com>

    microkernel: deprecate task IRQs

    This mechanism does not add enough value to the kernel to be worth
    maintaining it. Drivers that need deferred processing of interrupts
    can simply define their own task and have the interrupt handler
    release an event that the task waits on.

    The API is marked as deprecated and it is removed from unit test
    coverage as well as the documentation.

Killed the warning by setting the code-block style to 'none' on all of

Fabrice Olivero 128dcbbe13 kernel event logger: add possibility to use custom timestamp
By default, kernel event logger is using the system timer. But on
some platforms where the timer driver maintains the system timer
cycle accumulator in software, such as ones using the LOAPIC timer,
the system timer behavior leads to timestamp errors. For example,
the timer interrupt is logged with a wrong timestamp since the HW
timer value has been reset (periodic mode) but accumulated value not
updated yet (done later in the ISR).

This patch is adding the possibility to register a timer callback
function that will be used by the kernel event logger. For example,
on Quark SE, this allows using RTC or AON counter which accuracy is
sufficient and behavior more straight forward compared to system
timer.

Fabrice Olivero 68e7fca45c Set kernel event logger timestamps to HW cycles
OS tick period (usually 10 ms) is not sufficiently precise for task
execution analysis (like processing CPU load per context)

With that modification, the timestamp used by the kernel event logger
is 32-bit LSB of platform HW timer (for example Lakemont APIC timer
for Quark SE).
This timer period is very small and leads to timestamp wraparound
happening quite often (e.g. every 134s for Quark SE).

This wraparound must be considered when analyzing kernel event logger
data and care must be taken when tickless idle is enabled and sleep
duration can exceed maximum HW timer value.
