Benjamin Walsh 04c542d9d0 kernel/mbox: add missing dummy thread timeout init
It was possible for a dummy thread to be not timing, but not having
timeout.delta_ticks_from_prev not be -1 at the same time, which is a big
no-no.

Use _init_thread_base() to do a full initialization of the dummy thread.

Fixes ZEP-1312.

Vinayak Chettimada 09ba96d856 kernel: declare main and idle stack as globals
Renamed main_stack and idle_stack, to _main_stack and
_idle_stack, respectively, and made them globals. This does
not affect performance. They are still kept kernel private
symbols and not part of kernel API.

This will allow these symbols to be referenced in calls to
stack_analyse misc functions to profile stack usage in
applications.

Benjamin Walsh 358a53cb2f kernel: support for more than 32 total priorities
In addition to more priorities taking more memory to host them, finding
the next thread to run when it is not cached is slower since each extra
set of 32 priorities maps to a loop iteration. That loop is remove
entirely when the number of priorities is less than 32 (31 + the idle
thread).

Fixes ZEP-1303.

Rewrites the timestamping logic to always generate timestamps
via a function pointer that is initialized to sys_cycle_get_32(),
but can be changed to point to a user-supplied function. This
eliminates the need for an if/then/else construct in every place
that a timestamp is generated.

Benjamin Walsh ade6dc937f kernel: fix mailbox usage of SYS_DLIST_FOR_EACH_NODE()
SYS_DLIST_FOR_EACH_NODE() is marked as non-safe when an item is removed
from the list while looping over it. This is not true per-se, since the
item, when removed, keeps its next and prev pointers intact; however, it
is true if the item is then put into a list, be it a different one or
the same one. To prevent this, SYS_DLIST_FOR_EACH_NODE_SAFE() must be
used.

_mbox_message_put() can remove items from the rx queue and then put them
in the ready queue: this would cause the loop to start processing other
ready threads as item in the rx queue.

k_mbox_get() also removes items, from the tx queue, but does not seem to
add them to another list; however, it now uses the safe version as well,
since that is the proper usage.

Benjamin Walsh f6ca7de09c kernel/arch: consolidate tTCS and TNANO definitions
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.

Ramesh Thomas 8367056efa power_mgmt: Rename _sys_soc_resume notification disabling API
The API to disable _sys_soc_resume notification is currently
called _sys_soc_disable_wake_event_notification. This is
misleading because it is possible that the ISR from which
_sys_soc_resume is called could be from a different interrupt
with higher priority that happened before interrupts were
enabled. More accurately, it is a notification of exit from
kernel idling after pm operations.

_sys_soc_resume hook is over loaded to handle to different

This is very confusing and also makes the implementation of the

involved in the 2 different use cases. Further, users may not require
either or both use cases depending of their custom boot flow and
power state handling. To simplify, create a separate hook for the
purpose of deep sleep exit notification. Use the existing one to
only notify kernel idling exit after PM operations.

Oversight. These functions are used extensively in the kernel guts, but
are also supposed to be an API.

k_sched_lock used to be implemented as a static inline. However, until
the header files are cleaned-up, and everything, including applications
get access to the kernel internal data structures, it must be
implemented as a function. To reduce the cost to the internals of the
kernel, the new internal _sched_lock() contains the same implemetation,
but is inlined.

Allan Stephens 40325d2d28 kernel: Fix bug in spawning of legacy tasks using floating point
A thread defined via a legacy MDEF that belongs to the FPU or
SSE task group must set the thread option bits for FP or SSE
register use prior to being spawned.

If this is not done, and the kernel is configured for SSE support,
the kernel will auto-enable the thread's use of floating point
so that the thread saves SSE register context info even if it
belongs to just the FPU task group, which could cause the thread
to overflow its stack.

Note that this change only increases footprint for x86-based
applications that enable floating point register sharing.

Benjamin Walsh 8cf56bcac7 unified: dissociate system workqueue from common workqueue module
Making a reference to the common work queue code should not necessarily
drag in the system workqueue, since it is possible to use a workqueue
that is not the system workqueue. This is done by moving the system
workqueue into its own code module.

Moving the system workqueue to its own code module allows removing the
NANO_WORKQUEUE and SYSTEM_WORKQUEUE kconfig options, and compiling the
common workqueue code and system workqueue all the time. They are only
linked in the final image if a reference to them exist, same as the
other kernel modules.

Julien Delayen fec01af64a power: Update Quark SE PM layer with QMSI 1.3
QMSI 1.3 natively supports restoring the SoC and peripherals
after sleep.

The Zephyr Power Management shim layer is updated
in order to support QMSI functions.

The following functions have been added:
void _sys_soc_set_power_state(enum power_state);
void _sys_soc_power_state_post_ops(void);

In order to fully support deep sleep, the function
_sys_soc_set_power_state now support saving and
restoring CPU context and returns to the application.

_sys_soc_set_power_state function also abstracts
QMSI cpu states and enable the application to choose
between C1/C2 or C2LP states.

The QMSI power states are mapped as follows:
SYS_SOC_POWER_STATE_CPU_LPS -> power_cpu_c2lp
SYS_SOC_POWER_STATE_CPU_LPS_1 -> power_cpu_c2
SYS_SOC_POWER_STATE_CPU_LPS_2 -> power_cpu_c1
SYS_SOC_POWER_STATE_DEEP_SLEEP -> power_soc_deep_sleep
SYS_SOC_POWER_STATE_DEEP_SLEEP_1 -> power_soc_sleep

The following functions have been removed:
void _sys_soc_set_power_policy(uint32_t pm_policy);
int _sys_soc_get_power_policy(void);
FUNC_NORETURN void _sys_soc_put_deep_sleep(void);
void _sys_soc_put_low_power_state(void);
void _sys_soc_deep_sleep_post_ops(void);

Those changes are propagated to the samples.
All calls to QMSI are removed.

Allan Stephens e7d2cc216d unified: Add object tracing support for kernel objects
Defines an object tracing list for each kernel object type
that supports object tracing, and ensures that both statically
and dynamically defined objects are added to the appropriate list.

Ensure that each static kernel object is grouped together with
the other static objects of the same type. Revise the initialization
function for each kernel type (or create it, if needed) so that
each static object is added to the object tracing list for its
associated type.

Note 1: Threads are handled a bit differently than other kernel
object types. A statically-defined thread is added to the thread
list when the thread is started, not when the kernel initializes.
Also, a thread is removed from the thread list when the thread
terminates or aborts, unlike other types of kernel objects which
are never removed from an object tracing list. (Such support would
require the creation of APIs to "uninitialize" the kernel object.)

Note 2: The list head variables for all kernel object types
are now explicitly defined. However, the list head variable for
the ring buffer type continues to be implicitly defined for the
time being, since it isn't considered to be an core kernel object
type.
