This commit refactors kernel and arch headers to establish a boundary
between private and public interface headers.
The refactoring strategy used in this commit is detailed in the issue
This commit introduces the following major changes:
1. Establish a clear boundary between private and public headers by
removing "kernel/include" and "arch/*/include" from the global
include paths. Ideally, only kernel/ and arch/*/ source files should
reference the headers in these directories. If these headers must be
used by a component, these include paths shall be manually added to
the CMakeLists.txt file of the component. This is intended to
discourage applications from including private kernel and arch
headers either knowingly and unknowingly.
- kernel/include/ (PRIVATE)
This directory contains the private headers that provide private
kernel definitions which should not be visible outside the kernel
and arch source code. All public kernel definitions must be added
to an appropriate header located under include/.
- arch/*/include/ (PRIVATE)
This directory contains the private headers that provide private
architecture-specific definitions which should not be visible
outside the arch and kernel source code. All public architecture-
specific definitions must be added to an appropriate header located
under include/arch/*/.
- include/ AND include/sys/ (PUBLIC)
This directory contains the public headers that provide public
kernel definitions which can be referenced by both kernel and
application code.
- include/arch/*/ (PUBLIC)
This directory contains the public headers that provide public
architecture-specific definitions which can be referenced by both
kernel and application code.
2. Split arch_interface.h into "kernel-to-arch interface" and "public
arch interface" divisions.
- kernel/include/kernel_arch_interface.h
* provides private "kernel-to-arch interface" definition.
* includes arch/*/include/kernel_arch_func.h to ensure that the
interface function implementations are always available.
* includes sys/arch_interface.h so that public arch interface
definitions are automatically included when including this file.
- arch/*/include/kernel_arch_func.h
* provides architecture-specific "kernel-to-arch interface"
implementation.
* only the functions that will be used in kernel and arch source
files are defined here.
- include/sys/arch_interface.h
* provides "public arch interface" definition.
* includes include/arch/arch_inlines.h to ensure that the
architecture-specific public inline interface function
implementations are always available.
- include/arch/arch_inlines.h
* includes architecture-specific arch_inlines.h in
include/arch/*/arch_inline.h.
- include/arch/*/arch_inline.h
* provides architecture-specific "public arch interface" inline
function implementation.
* supersedes include/sys/arch_inline.h.
3. Refactor kernel and the existing architecture implementations.
- Remove circular dependency of kernel and arch headers. The
following general rules should be observed:
* Never include any private headers from public headers
* Never include kernel_internal.h in kernel_arch_data.h
* Always include kernel_arch_data.h from kernel_arch_func.h
* Never include kernel.h from kernel_struct.h either directly or
indirectly. Only add the kernel structures that must be referenced
from public arch headers in this file.
- Relocate syscall_handler.h to include/ so it can be used in the
public code. This is necessary because many user-mode public codes
reference the functions defined in this header.
- Relocate kernel_arch_thread.h to include/arch/*/thread.h. This is
necessary to provide architecture-specific thread definition for
'struct k_thread' in kernel.h.
- Remove any private header dependencies from public headers using
the following methods:
* If dependency is not required, simply omit
* If dependency is required,
- Relocate a portion of the required dependencies from the
private header to an appropriate public header OR
- Relocate the required private header to make it public.
This commit supersedes #20047, addresses #19666, and fixes#3056.

z_set_thread_return_value is part of the core kernel -> arch
interface and has been renamed to z_arch_thread_return_value_set.
z_set_thread_return_value_with_data renamed to
z_thread_return_value_set_with_data for consistency.

SR and LR were used as global names for load and store RISC-V assembler
operations, colliding with other uses such as SR for STATUS REGISTER in
some peripherals. Renamed them to a longer more specific name to avoid
the collision.

There are two aspects to this: CPU registers are twice as big, and the
load and store instructions must use the 'd' suffix instead of the 'w'
one. To abstract register differences, we simply use a ulong_t instead
of u32_t given that RISC-V is either ILP32 or LP64. And the relevant
lw/sw instructions are replaced by LR/SR (load/store register) that get
defined as either lw/sw or ld/sd. Finally a few constants to deal with
register offsets are also provided.

With the upcoming riscv64 support, it is best to use "riscv" as the
subdirectory name and common symbols as riscv32 and riscv64 support
code is almost identical. Then later decide whether 32-bit or 64-bit
compilation is wanted.
Redirects for the web documentation are also included.
Then zephyrbot complained about this:
"
New files added that are not covered in CODEOWNERS:
dts/riscv/microsemi-miv.dtsi
dts/riscv/riscv32-fe310.dtsi
Please add one or more entries in the CODEOWNERS file to cover
those files
"
So I assigned them to those who created them. Feel free to readjust
as necessary.
