Allan Stephens 4aef71b9f6 unified: Finish adding thread monitoring support
Existing code wasn't removing a thread from the kernel's list

Allan Stephens 2220f25f0a kernel: Standardize thread monitoring initialization
Gets rid of unnecessary THREAD_MONITOR_INIT() macro, to be
consistent with the approach taken by _thread_monitor_exit().

Aligns x86 code with the approach used on other architectures.

Revises the associated comments and removes unnecessary

Ricardo Salveti ffacae20d0 arch/arm: add initial support for Cortex-M0/M0+
Not disabling SysTick as it is optional by the spec.

PendSV is used).

Largely based on a previous work done by Euan Mutch <euan@abelon.com>.

Benjamin Walsh b4b108de4d unified: rename sched.h to ksched.h
Build breaks when enabling CONFIG_NEWLIB_LIBC because it has its own
sched.h file.

This is a bad symptom of a greater issue: the build system passes many
'-I<path>' options to the compiler, and that allows including header
files by simply specifying their names (when located somewhere else than
<zephyr>/include/) and can cause clashes when several files in different
locations have the same name, like in this case.

Fixes ZEP-1062.

Benjamin Walsh fc59e5b584 unified/arm: fix saving of registers in __pendsv()
The unified kernel calls a function (_get_next_ready_thread) to fetch
the next thread to run: it thus must save caller-saved registers that
are expected to hold a value before calling such function.

The callee-saved registers are available after saving them in the
outgoing thread's stack, so use some of those instead to reduce the
number of registers to save before calling _get_next_ready_thread. Also,
save caller-saved registers in callee-saved registers instead of on the
stack to reduce memory accesses.

This issue did not show up previously, probably because
_get_next_ready_thread did not use the regsiters that had to be saved,
but an upcoming optimization to that function stomps on them.

Benjamin Walsh 3cf3778d31 unified/arm: add unified kernel support for ARM arch
The ARM architecture port is fitted with support for the unified kernel,
namely:

- the interrupt/exception exit code now pends PendSV if the current
  thread is not a coop thread and if the scheduler is not locked

- fiber_abort is replaced by k_thread_abort(), which takes a thread ID
  as a parameter (i.e. does not only operate on the current thread)

- the _nanokernel.flags cache of _current.flags is not used anymore
  (could be a source of bugs) and is not needed in the scheduling algo

- there is no 'task' field in the _nanokernel anymore: PendSV not calls
  _get_next_ready_thread instead

- the _nanokernel.fiber field is replaced by a more sophisticated
  ready_q, based on the microkernel's priority-bitmap-based one

- thread initialization initializes new fields in the tcs, and does not
  initialize obsolete ones

- nano_private includes nano_internal.h from the unified directory

- The FIBER, TASK and PREEMPTIBLE flags do not exist anymore: the thread
  priority drives the behaviour

- the tcs uses a dlist for queuing in both ready and wait queues instead
  of a custom singly-linked list

- other new fields in the tcs include a schedule-lock count, a
  back-pointer to init data (when the task is static) and a pointer to
  swap data, needed when a thread pending on _Swap() must be passed more
  then just one value (e.g. k_stack_pop() needs an error code and data)

- the 'fiber' and 'task' fields of _nanokernel are replaced with an O(1)
  ready queue (taken from the microkernel)

- fiberRtnValueSet() is aliased to _set_thread_return_value since it
  also operates on preempt threads now

- _set_thread_return_value_with_data() sets the swap_data field in
  addition to a return value from _Swap()

- convenience aliases are created for shorter names:

  - _current is defined as _nanokernel.current
  - _ready_q is defined as _nanokernel.ready_q

- _Swap() sets the threads's return code to -EAGAIN before swapping out
  to prevent timeouts to have to set it (solves hard issues in some
  kernel objects).

Andy Ross 9f628943a8 toolchain: Remove vestigial COFF assembler symbol mangling support
The toolchain headers included an abstraction for defining symbol
names in assembly context in the situation where we're using a
DOS-style assembler that automatically prepends an underscore to
symbol names.

We aren't.  Zephyr is an ELF platform.  None of our toolchains do
this.  Nothing sets the "TOOL_PREPENDS_UNDERSCORE" macro from within
the project, and it surely isn't an industry standard.  Yank it out.
Now we can write assembler labels in natural syntax, and a few other
things fall out to simplify too.

(NOTE: these headers contain assembly code and will fail checkpatch.
That is an expected false positive.)

We really should have more faith in the compiler, it generates

Geoff Thorpe ded3070c1c nanokernel: tighten _is_thread_essential()
Of the 3 related functions;
  _thread_essential_set()
  _thread_essential_clear()
  _is_thread_essential()

The first two are parameter-less and always operate on
"_nanokernel.current". The last one takes a 'thread' parameter but will
operate on _nanokernel.current if the parameter is NULL. All calls to
_is_thread_essential() pass NULL!

This change makes the 3 functions consistent by removing the parameter
to the 3rd function. This should also be marginally more efficient,
though consistency was the motivation. This change corrects the doc
preamble to all 3 functions.

(These functions would probably be better as inlines. Also, the choice
of when to use wrappers seems a bit arbitrary. E.g. there's nothing
for setting/testing the "FIBER" flag.)

Juan Manuel Cruz d151776e59 debug: thread monitor allow to access more thread information
The thread monitor allows to iterate over the thread context
structures for each existing thread (fiber/task) in the system.

Thread context structures do not expose thread entry information
directly. Although all the information can be scavenged from memory
stacks. Besides, accessing the information depends on the stack
implementation for each architecture.

By extending the tcs we allow a direct access to the thread
entry point and its parameters, only when thread monitor is
enabled.

It also allows a task to access its kernel task structure
through the first parameter of the thread.

This allows a debugger application to access the information directly
from the thread context structures list.

If someone really wants to do this, they can set
IRQ_VECTOR_TABLE_CUSTOM and define their own.

Andrew Boie e444825ee3 irq: formalize external zephyr interrupt API
The app-facing interface for configuring interrupts was never
formally defined, instead it was defined separately for each arch
in their respective arch-specific header files. Occasionally these
would go out of sync.

Now there is a single irq.h header which defines this interface.
To avoid runtime overhead, these map to _arch_* implementations of
each that must be defined in headers pulled in by arch/cpu.h.

Andrew Boie 4455ee6d87 ARM: rebase available priority levels to 0
We have a new policy: users should not be able to configure
an interrupt with "forbidden" priority levels, and any priority
levels with special semantics will be activated by flags.

Benjamin Walsh c5bb958db4 arm: add software reboot for QEMU
This simulates a reboot by jumping back to the address stored in the
reset vector in vector table found at address 0. It is supported from
interrupt/exception level, which means that sys_arch_reboot() in this
case finds out if it is called from thread mode or handler mode, and in
the latter case, it unwinds the nested exception stack as needed.

Benjamin Walsh 62c65d7f00 arm: in non-XIP image, make __start alias of __reset
The bootloader expects the entry point to be called __start, not __reset.

Benjamin Walsh bd94d98255 arm: add connecting exceptions at runtime
Add sys_exc_connect() (and its x86-compatible alias nanoCpuExcConnect())
that allows connecting an exception handler at runtime.

The current implementation is a bit of a bastard, to avoid disturbing
the current implementation of the exception handlers. Instead of hooking
_exc_wrapper() in all vectors and adapting the exception handlers, the
current exception handlers are still hooked directly in the vectors.
When an exception is hooked at runtime, _exc_wrapper() gets installed in
the vector and the real handler gets inserted in _sw_exc_table; this
means that the scheme only works with non-XIP kernels.

This should be enhanced so that _exc_wrapper() is hooked in all vectors,
and that current exception handlers (for faults mostly) are reworked to
be inserted in the _sw_exc_table and wrapped in _exc_wrapper().
