The struct _caller_saved is not used. Most architectures put
automatically the registers onto stack, in others architectures the

The struct _kernel_ach exists only because ARC' s port needed it, in
all other ports this was defined as an empty struct. Turns out that
this struct is not required even for ARC anymore, this is a legacy
code from nanokernel time.

There was an struct and a variable called _kernel. This is error prone
and a MISRA-C violation. It is changing the struct to have a unique
identifier.

Rename _DEVICE_STRUCT_SIZE to _DEVICE_STRUCT_SIZEOF. This causes it to
be picked by the script 'gen_offset_header.py' and inserted into the
header file 'include/generated/offsets.h'.
Renaming from x_SIZE to x_SIZEOF will align it's name with the other
symbols that denote a sctruct's size, like K_THREAD_SIZEOF.
Furthermore, it will allow the symbol to be accessed through a header
file define, instead of only as an extern symbol. This is more
flexible, and more aligned with the other symbols in offsets.
Finally, if we are able to move all of offsets.c symbols into the
offsets.h header file we be able to remove offsets.o from the link and
thereby simplify the linking process.

Any word started with underscore followed by and uppercase letter or a
second underscore is a reserved word according with C99.
With have *many* violations on Zephyr's code, this commit is tackling
only the violations caused by headers guards. It also takes the
opportunity to normalize them using the filename in uppercase and
replacing dot with underscore. e.g file.h -> FILE_H

There exist two symbols that became equivalent when PR #9383 was
merged; _SYSCALL_LIMIT and K_SYSCALL_LIMIT. This patch deprecates the
redundant _SYSCALL_LIMIT symbol.
_SYSCALL_LIMIT was initally introduced because before PR #9383 was
merged K_SYSCALL_LIMIT was an enum, which couldn't be included into
assembly files. PR #9383 converted it into a define, which can be
included into assembly files, making _SYSCALL_LIMIT redundant.
Likewise for _SYSCALL_BAD.

The scheduler needs a few tweaks to work in SMP mode:
1. The "cache" field just doesn't work. With more than one CPU,
caching the highest priority thread isn't useful as you may need N
of them at any given time before another thread is returned to the
scheduler. You could recalculate it at every change, but that
provides no performance benefit. Remove.
2. The "bitmask" designed to prevent the need to individually check
priorities is likewise dropped. This could work, but in fact on
our only current SMP system and with current K_NUM_PRIOPRITIES
values it provides no real benefit.
3. The individual threads now have a "current cpu" and "active" flag
so that the choice of the next thread to run can correctly skip
threads that are active on other CPUs.
The upshot is that a decent amount of code gets #if'd out, and the new
SMP implementations for _get_highest_ready_prio() and
_get_next_ready_thread() are simpler and smaller, at the expense of
having to drop older optimizations.
Note that scheduler synchronization is unchanged: all scheduler APIs
used to require that an irq_lock() be held, which means that they now
require the global spinlock via the same API. This should be a very
early candidate for lock granularity attention!

When in SMP mode, the nested/irq_stack/current fields are specific to
the current CPU and not to the kernel as a whole, so we need an array
of these. Place them in a _cpu_t struct and implement a
_arch_curr_cpu() function to retrieve the pointer.
When not in SMP mode, the first CPU's fields are defined as a unioned
with the first _cpu_t record. This permits compatibility with legacy
assembly on other platforms. Long term, all users, including
uniprocessor architectures, should be updated to use the new scheme.
Fundamentally this is just renaming: the structure layout and runtime
code do not change on any existing platforms and won't until someone
defines a second CPU.

To define a system call, it's now sufficient to simply tag the inline
prototype with "__syscall" or "__syscall_inline" and include a special
generated header at the end of the header file.
The system call dispatch table and enumeration of system call IDs is now
automatically generated.

- syscall.h now contains those APIs needed to support invoking calls
from user code. Some stuff moved out of main kernel.h.
- syscall_handler.h now contains directives useful for implementing
system call handler functions. This header is not pulled in by
kernel.h and is intended to be used by C files implementing kernel
system calls and driver subsystem APIs.
- syscall_list.h now contains the #defines for system call IDs. This
list is expected to grow quite large so it is put in its own header.
This is now an enumerated type instead of defines to make things
easier as we introduce system calls over the new few months. In the
fullness of time when we desire to have a fixed userspace/kernel ABI,
this can always be converted to defines.
Some new code added:
- _SYSCALL_MEMORY() macro added to check memory regions passed up from
userspace in handler functions
- _syscall_invoke{7...10}() inline functions declare for invoking system
calls with more than 6 arguments. 10 was chosen as the limit as that
corresponds to the largest arg list we currently have
which is for k_thread_create()
Other changes
- auto-generated K_SYSCALL_DECLARE* macros documented
- _k_syscall_table in userspace.c is not a placeholder. There's no
strong need to generate it and doing so would require the introduction
of a third build phase.

The K_<thread option> flags/options avaialble to users were hidden in
the kernel private header files: move them to include/kernel.h to
publicize them.
Also, to avoid any future confusion, rename the k_thread.execution_flags
field to user_options.

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.

These two fields in the thread structure control the preemptibility of a
thread.
sched_locked is decremented when the scheduler gets locked, which means
that the scheduler is locked for values 0xff to 0x01, since it can be
locked recursively. A thread is coop if its priority is negative, thus
if the prio field value is 0x80 to 0xff when looked at as an unsigned
value.
By putting them end-to-end, this means that a thread is non-preemptible
if the bundled value is greater than or equal to 0x0080. This is the
only thing the interrupt exit code has to check to decide to try a
reschedule or not.

Some thread fields were 32-bit wide, when they are not even close to
using that full range of values. They are instead changed to 8-bit fields.
- prio can fit in one byte, limiting the priorities range to -128 to 127
- recursive scheduler locking can be limited to 255; a rollover results
most probably from a logic error
- flags are split into execution flags and thread states; 8 bits is
enough for each of them currently, with at worst two states and four
flags to spare (on x86, on other archs, there are six flags to spare)
Doing this saves 8 bytes per stack. It also sets up an incoming
enhancement when checking if the current thread is preemptible on
interrupt exit.
