Andrew Boie 0b474eef9c kernel: deprecate old init levels
PRIMARY, SECONDARY, NANOKERNEL, MICROKERNEL init levels are now
deprecated.

New init levels introduced: PRE_KERNEL_1, PRE_KERNEL_2, POST_KERNEL
to replace them.

Most existing code has instances of PRIMARY replaced with PRE_KERNEL_1,
SECONDARY with POST_KERNEL as SECONDARY has had a longstanding bug
where the documentation specified SECONDARY ran before the kernel started
up, but actually ran afterwards.

Allan Stephens e7d2cc216d unified: Add object tracing support for kernel objects
Defines an object tracing list for each kernel object type
that supports object tracing, and ensures that both statically
and dynamically defined objects are added to the appropriate list.

Ensure that each static kernel object is grouped together with
the other static objects of the same type. Revise the initialization
function for each kernel type (or create it, if needed) so that
each static object is added to the object tracing list for its
associated type.

Note 1: Threads are handled a bit differently than other kernel
object types. A statically-defined thread is added to the thread
list when the thread is started, not when the kernel initializes.
Also, a thread is removed from the thread list when the thread
terminates or aborts, unlike other types of kernel objects which
are never removed from an object tracing list. (Such support would
require the creation of APIs to "uninitialize" the kernel object.)

Note 2: The list head variables for all kernel object types
are now explicitly defined. However, the list head variable for
the ring buffer type continues to be implicitly defined for the
time being, since it isn't considered to be an core kernel object
type.

Benjamin Walsh b4b108de4d unified: rename sched.h to ksched.h
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.

Benjamin Walsh 7caef4581d unified: streamline "timeout abort" internal interface
Rename _do_timeout_abort to _abort_timeout, rename _timeout_abort to
_abort_thread_timeout to better reflect their functionalities. Have the
latter call the former, remove _do_timeout_abort and
_nano_timer_timeout_abort.

Benjamin Walsh 456c6daa9f unified: initial unified kernel implementation
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.
