Ensures that all APIs which accept a timeout value wait for at least
the specified amount of time, and do not time out prematurely.
* The kernel now waits for the next system clock tick to occur before
the timeout interval is considered to have started. (That is, the only
way to ensure a delay of N tick intervals is to wait for N+1 ticks
to occur.)
* Gets rid of ticks -> milliseconds -> ticks conversion in task_sleep()
and fiber_sleep() legacy APIs, since this introduces rounding that
-- coupled with the previous change -- can alter the number of ticks
being requested during the sleep operation.
* Corrects work queue API that was incorrectly shown to use a delay
measured in ticks, rather than milliseconds.

Provides users with a more compact and intuitive API for kernel
timers.
Provides legacy support for microkernel timers and nanokernel
timers by building on the new kernel timer infrastructure.
Each timer type requires only a small amount of additional
wrapper code, as well as the addition of a single pointer
field to the underlying timer structure, all of which will be
easily removed when support for the legacy APIs is discontinued.

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.

Gets rid of official support for dynamic timer allocation
in the unified kernel, since users can easily define and
initialize timers at any time. Legacy support for dynamic
timers is maintained for backwards compatibility reasons
for the time being ...

Rename remaining functions to fit with kernel naming convention for
internal interfaces. Use struct k_thread instead of struct tcs.

Rename _do_timeout_add to _add_timeout, rename _TIMEOUT_ADD to
_add_thread_timeout to better reflect their functionalities. Have the
latter call the former, remove _do_timeout_add and
_nano_timer_timeout_add.

Summary of what this includes:
initialization:
Copy from nano_init.c, with the following changes:
- the main thread is the continuation of the init thread, but an idle
thread is created as well
- _main() initializes threads in groups and starts the EXE group
- the ready queues are initialized
- the main thread is marked as non-essential once the system init is
done
- a weak main() symbol is provided if the application does not provide a
main() function
scheduler:
Not an exhaustive list, but basically provide primitives for:
- adding/removing a thread to/from a wait queue
- adding/removing a thread to/from the ready queue
- marking thread as ready
- locking/unlocking the scheduler
- instead of locking interrupts
- getting/setting thread priority
- checking what state (coop/preempt) a thread is currenlty running in
- rescheduling threads
- finding what thread is the next to run
- yielding/sleeping/aborting sleep
- finding the current thread
threads:
- Add operationns on threads, such as creating and starting them.
standardized handling of kernel object return codes:
- Kernel objects now cause _Swap() to return the following values:
0 => operation successful
-EAGAIN => operation timed out
-Exxxxx => operation failed for another reason
- The thread's swap_data field can be used to return any additional
information required to complete the operation, such as the actual
result of a successful operation.
timeouts:
- same as nano timeouts, renamed to simply 'timeouts'
- the kernel is still tick-based, but objects take timeout values in
ms for forward compatibility with a tickless kernel.
semaphores:
- Port of the nanokernel semaphores, which have the same basic behaviour
as the microkernel ones. Semaphore groups are not yet implemented.
- These semaphores are enhanced in that they accept an initial count and a
count limit. This allows configuring them as binary semaphores, and also
provisioning them without having to "give" the semaphore multiple times
before using them.
mutexes:
- Straight port of the microkernel mutexes. An init function is added to
allow defining them at runtime.
pipes:
- straight port
timers:
- amalgamation of nano and micro timers, with all functionalities
intact.
events:
- re-implementation, using semaphores and workqueues.
mailboxes:
- straight port
message queues:
- straight port of microkernel FIFOs
memory maps:
- straight port
workqueues:
- Basically, have all APIs follow the k_ naming rule, and use the _timeout
subsystem from the unified kernel directory, and not the _nano_timeout
one.
stacks:
- Port of the nanokernel stacks. They can now have multiple threads
pending on them and threads can wait with a timeout.
LIFOs:
- Straight port of the nanokernel LIFOs.
FIFOs:
- Straight port of the nanokernel FIFOs.
