When adding a thread to the ready queue, it is often known at that time
if the thread added will be the next one to run or not. So, instead of
simply updating the ready queues and the bitmask, also cache what that
thread is, so that when the scheduler is invoked, it can simply fetch it
from there. This is only done if there is a thread in the cache, since
the way the cache is updated is by comparing the priorities of the
thread being added and the cached thread.
When a thread is removed from the ready queue, if it is currently the
cached thread, it is also removed from the cache. The cache is not
updated at this time, since this would be a preemptive fetching that
could be overriden before the newly cached thread would even be
scheduled in.
Finally, when a thread is scheduled in, it now becomes the cached thread
since the fact that it is running means that by definition it was the
next one to run.
Doing this can speed up considerably some context switch times,
especially when a thread is preempted by an interrupt and the same
thread is scheduled when the interrupt exits.

This header has a bunch of data structure definitions and macros useful
for manipulating segment descriptors on X86. The old IDT_ENTRY defintion
is removed in favor of the new 'struct segment_descriptor' which can be
used for all segment descriptor types and not just IRQ gates.
We also add some inline helper functions for examining segment registers,
descriptor tables, and doing far jumps/calls.

The x86 architecture port is fitted with support for the unified kernel,
namely:
- the interrupt exit code now calls _Swap() if the current
thread is not a coop thread and if the scheduler is not locked
- there is no 'task' fields in the _nanokernel anymore: _Swap()
now 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
- 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)
- 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).
- Floating point support.
Note that, in _Swap(), the register holding the thread to be swapped in has
been changed from %ecx to %eax in both the legacy kernel and the unified kernel
to take advantage of the fact that the return value of _get_next_ready_thread()
is stored in %eax, and this avoids moving it to %ecx.

Originally, x86 just supported APIC. Then later support
for the Mint Valley Interrupt Controller was added. This
controller is mostly similar to the APIC with some differences,
but was integrated in a somewhat hacked-up fashion.
Now we define irq_controller.h, which is a layer of abstraction
between the core arch code and the interrupt controller
implementation.
Contents of the API:
- Controllers with a fixed irq-to-vector mapping define
_IRQ_CONTROLLER_VECTOR_MAPPING(irq) to obtain a compile-time
map between the two.
- _irq_controller_program() notifies the interrupt controller
what vector will be used for a particular IRQ along with triggering
flags
- _irq_controller_isr_vector_get() reports the vector number of
the IRQ currently being serviced
- In assembly language domain, _irq_controller_eoi implements
EOI handling.
- Since triggering options can vary, some common defines for
triggering IRQ_TRIGGER_EDGE, IRQ_TRIGGER_LEVEL, IRQ_POLARITY_HIGH,
IRQ_POLARITY_LOW introduced.
Specific changes made:
- New Kconfig X86_FIXED_IRQ_MAPPING for those interrupt controllers
that have a fixed relationship between IRQ lines and IDT vectors.
- MVIC driver rewritten per the HAS instead of the tortuous methods
used to get it to behave like LOAPIC. We are no longer writing values
to reserved registers. Additional assertions added.
- Some cleanup in the loapic_timer driver to make the MVIC differences
clearer.
- Unused APIs removed, or folded into calling code when used just once.
- MVIC doesn't bother to write a -1 to the intList priority field since
it gets ignored anyway

Previously, exception stubs had to be declared in assembly
language files. Now we have two new APIs to regsiter exception
handlers at C toplevel:
_EXCEPTION_CONNECT_CODE(handler, vector)
_EXCEPTION_CONNECT_NOCODE(handler, vector)
For x86 exceptions that do and do not push error codes onto
the stack respectively.
In addition, it's now no longer necessary to #define around
exception registration. We now use .gnu.linkonce magic such that
the first _EXCEPTION_CONNECT_*() that the linker finds is used
for the specified vector. Applications are free to install their
own exception handlers which will take precedence over default
handlers such as installed by arch/x86/core/fatal.c
Some Makefiles have been adjusted so that the default exception
handlers in arch/x86/core/fatal.c are linked last. The code has
been tested that the right order of precedence is taken for
exceptions overridden in the floating point, gdb debug, or
application code. The asm SYS_NANO_CPU_EXC_CONNECT API has been
removed; it was ill- conceived as it only worked for exceptions
that didn't push error codes. All the asm NANO_CPU_EXC_CONNECT_*
APIs are gone as well in favor of the new _EXCEPTION_CONNNECT_*()
APIs.
CONFIG_EXCEPTION_DEBUG no longer needs to be disabled for test
cases that define their own exception handlers.

The GDB server implements a set of GDB commands, such as read/write
memory, read/write registers, connect/detach, breakpoints, single-step,
continue. It is not OS-aware, and thus provides a 'system-level'
debugging environment, where the system stops when debugging (such as
handling a breakpoint or single-stepping).
It currently only works over a serial line, taking over the
uart_console. If target code prints over the console, the GDB server
intecepts them and does not send the characters directly over the serial
line, but rather wraps them in a packet handled by the GDB client.

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.

Fix an issue where, if a task is pending on a nano timeout, the duration
it wants to wait is not taken into account by the tickless idle code.
This could cause a system to wait forever, or to the limit of the timer
hardware (which is forever, for all intents and purposes).
This fix is to add one field in the nanokernel data structure for one
task to record the amount of ticks it will wait on a nano timeout. Only
one task has to be able to record this information, since, these waits
being looping busy waits, the task of highest priority is the only task
that can be actively waiting with a nano timeout. If a task of lower
priority was previously waiting, and a new task is now waiting, it means
that the wait of the original task has been interrupted, which will
cause said task to run the busy loop on the object again when it gets
scheduled, and the number of ticks it wants to wait has to be recomputed
and recorded again.

We are interested in supporting some XIP x86 platforms which are
unable to fetch CPU instructions from system RAM. This requires
refactoring our dynamic IRQ/exc code which currently synthesizes
assembly language instructions to create IRQ stubs on-the-fly.
Instead, a new approach is taken. Given that the configuration at
build time specifies the number of required stubs, use this
to generate a build time a set of tiny stub functions which simply
push a 'stub id' and then call common dynamic interrupt code.
The handler function and handler argument is saved in a table keyed by
this stub id.
CONFIG_EOI_HANDLER_SUPPORTED removed, the code hasn't been conditionally
compiled for some time and in all cases we call _loapic_eoi() when
finished with an interrupt.
Some other out-of-date verbiage in comments related to supporting
non-APIC removed.
Previously, when dynamic exceptions were created a pointer would
be passed in by the caller reserving ram for the stub code. Since
this is no longer feasible, two new Kconfig options have been added.
CONFIG_NUM_DYNAMIC_EXC_STUBS and CONFIG_NUM_DYNAMIC_EXC_NO_ERR_STUBS
control how many stubs are created for exceptions that push
an error code, and no error code, respectively.
SW Interrupts are no longer triggered by "int <vector>" hard-coded
assembly instructions. Instead this is done by sending a self-directed
inter-processor interrupt from the LOAPIC, using a new API
loapic_int_vect_trigger(). In this way we get rid of dynamically
generated code in irq_test_common.h.
All interrupts call _loapic_eoi() when finished, since this is now
the right thing to do for all IRQs, including SW interrupts.
_irq_handler_set() for x86 no longer requires the old function pointer
to be supplied.
