Yasushi SHOJI 51bc0a065c linker: Make alignment size for sw_isr_table configurable
sw_isr_table has two entries, an argument and an ISR function.  The
comment on struct _isr_table_entry in include/sw_isr_table.h says that
"This allows a table entry to be loaded [...] with one ldmia
instruction, on ARM [...]".  Some arch, e.g. SPARC, also has a double
word load instruction, "ldd", but the instruct must have address align
to double word or 8 bytes.

This commit makes the table alignment configurable.  It allows each
architecture to specify it, if needed.  The default value is 0 for no
alignment.

Laczen JMS 5f19c8160a subsys/settings: Update bluetooth module
Updated the bluetooth module to use static handlers. Removed the
old bt specific static registration.

The routine bt_settings_init() is still calling settings_init() which
IMO is not needed anymore.

Updates:

changed SETTINGS_REGISTER_STATIC() to SETTINGS_STATIC_HANDLER_DEFINE()
changed settings_handler_stat type to settings_handler_static type
removed NULL declarations
renamed bt_handler to bt_settingshandler, as bt_handler already exists.
renamed all bt_XXX_handler to bt_xxx_settingshandler to avoid any
overlap.
changed SETTINGS_STATIC_HANDLER_DEFINE() to create variable names from
_hname by just prepending them with settings_handler_.
updated all bt_xxx_settings_handler to just bt_xxx.

Laczen JMS c20ff1150f subsys/settings: Enable handler ROM registration
Add the possibility to register handles to ROM using a new macro
SETTINGS_REGISTER_STATIC(handler), the handler is of type
settings_handler_stat and has to be declared as const:

```
const struct settings_handler_stat test_handler = {
	.name = "test", /* this can also be "ps/data"
	.h_get = get,
	.h_set = set,
	.h_commit = NULL, /* NULL defines can be ommited */
	.h_export = NULL  /* NULL defines can be ommited */
};
SETTINGS_REGISTER_STATIC(test_handler);
```

To maintain support for handlers stored in RAM (dynamic handlers)
`CONFIG_SETTINGS_DYNAMIC_HANDLERS`must be enabled, which is by default.

When registering static handlers there is no check if this handler has
been registered earlier, the latest registered static handler will be
considered valid for any set/get routine, while the commit and export
routines will be executed for both registered handlers.

When a dynamic handler is registered a check is done to see if there was
an earlier registration of the name as a static or dynamic handler
registration will fail.

To get to the lowest possible RAM usage it is advised to set
`CONFIG_SETTINGS_DYNAMIC_HANDLERS=n`.

Updates:

a. Changed usage of RAM to DYNAMIC/dynamic, ROM to STATIC/static
b. Updated settings.h to remove added #if defined()
c. Make static handlers always enabled
d. Corrected error introduced in common-rom.ld.
e. Changed return value of settings_parse_and_lookup to
   settings_handler_stat type to reduce stack usage.
f. Updated the name generated to store a handler item in ROM. It now
   uses the name used to register in combination with the line where
   SETTINGS_REGISTER_STATIC() is called.
g. renamed settings_handler_stat type to settings_handler_static
h. renamed SETTINGS_REGISTER_STATIC to SETTINGS_STATIC_HANDLER_DEFINE()

This convenience macro wraps Z_DECL_ALIGN() and __in_section() to
simplify static definitions of structure instances gathered in dedicated
sections. Most of the time those go together, and the section name is
already closely related to the struct type, so abstracting things behind
a simpler interface reduces probability of mistakes and makes the code
clearer. A few input section names have been adjusted accordingly.

Daniel Leung 212ec9a29a linker: sort app shared mem partition by alignment
If CONFIG_MPU_REQUIRES_POWER_OF_TWO_ALIGNMENT is enabled,
the app shared memory partition may cause waste of memory
due to the need for padding.

For example, tests/subsys/jwt and board mps2_an385:

  z_test_mem_partition: addr 0x20000000, size 52
  z_libc_partition    : addr 0x20000040, size 4
  k_mbedtls_partition : addr 0x20008000, size 32736

    ending at 0x2000ffff, taking up 65536 bytes

With power-of-two size and alignment requirement,
k_mbedtls_partition takes up 32KB memory and needs to be
aligned on 32KB boundary. If the above partitions are
ordered as shown, there needs to be a lot of padding
after z_libc_partition before k_mbedtls_partition can
start. In order to minimize padding, these partitions
need to be sort by size in descending order.

After the changes here,	the partitions are:

  k_mbedtls_partition : addr 0x20000000, size 32736
  z_test_mem_partition: addr 0x20008000, size 52
  z_libc_partition    : addr 0x20008040, size 4

    ending at 0x2000805f, taking up 32864 bytes

With the above example, sorting results in a saving
of 32672 bytes of saving.

This renaming is done on both global and those static function names

are renamed by removing the leading underscore. Other function names
not starting with any prefix listed above are renamed starting with
a 'z_' or 'Z_' prefix.

Aurelien Jarno 992f29a1bc arch: make __ramfunc support transparent
Instead of having to enable ramfunc support manually, just make it
transparently available to users, keeping the MPU region disabled if not
used to not waste a MPU region. This however wastes 24 bytes of code
area when the MPU is disabled and 48 bytes when it is enabled, and
probably a dozen of CPU cycles during boot. I believe it is something
acceptable.

Note that when XIP is used, code is already in RAM, so the __ramfunc

thread exits.

Next step is to save this data dump on file. Then run
scripts/gen_gcov_files.py with the serial console log as argument.

The last step would be be to run the gcovr. Use the following cmd
 gcovr -r . --html -o gcov_report/coverage.html --html-details

Currently supported architectures are ARM and x86.

Andy Ross 7740f73079 include/linker_defs.h: Remove noop architecture detection
This was apparently intended to allow for per-arch linker includes,
but no such includes ever existed.  All it does is senselessly throw
an error on unrecognized architectures. Yank.

Maureen Helm a9389da038 soc: nxp_imx: Add support for device configuration data (DCD)
Adds support for the device configuration data (DCD), which provides a
sequence of commands to the imx rt boot ROM to initialize components
such as an SDRAM.

It is now possible to use the external SDRAM instead of the internal
DTCM on the mimxrt1020_evk, mimxrt1050_evk, and mimxrt1060_evk. Note,
however, that the default board configurations still link data into
internal DTCM, therefore you must use a device tree overlay to override
"zephyr,sram = &sdram0"

Maureen Helm 8e3004953d soc: nxp_imx: Add support for external xip flash boot header
Adds support for the boot data, image vector table, and FlexSPI NOR
config structures used by the imx rt boot ROM to boot an application
from an external xip flash device.

It is now possible to build and flash a bootable zephyr image to the
external xip flash on the mimxrt1020_evk, mimxrt1050_evk, and
mimxrt1060_evk boards via the 'ninja flash' build target and jlink
runner. Note, however, that the default board configurations still link
code into internal ITCM, therefore you must set CONFIG_CODE_HYPERFLASH=y
or CONFIG_CODE_QSPI=y explicitly to override the default. You must also
set CONFIG_NXP_IMX_RT_BOOT_HEADER=y to build the boot header into the
image.

Andrew Boie ce8e1ecd2d Revert "interrupts: use weak linkage instead ..."
This reverts commit 140863f6a7.

This was found to be causing problems with certain linkers which
generate different code depending on whether a symbol is weak or
not.

Fixes #11916

Håkon Øye Amundsen d85efe0b10 arch: arm: Add symbol for flash used
Add symbol which contains the number of bytes contained
in the image.

Using '_image_rom_end' will not work, as there are
symbols loaded after its value.

Aurelien Jarno 6fd1691b94 kernel: Add a "nocache" read-write memory section
Add a "nocache" read-write memory section that is configured to
not be cached. This memory section can be used to perform DMA
transfers when cache coherence issues are not optimal or can not
be solved using cache maintenance operations.

This is currently only supported on ARM Cortex M7 with MPU.

Fixes #2927
