Historically, stacks were just character buffers and could be treated
as such if the user wanted to look inside the stack data, and also
declared as an array of the desired stack size.
This is no longer the case. Certain architectures will create a memory
region much larger to account for MPU/MMU guard pages. Unfortunately,
the kernel interfaces treat both the declared stack, and the valid
stack buffer within it as the same char * data type, even though these
absolutely cannot be used interchangeably.
We introduce an opaque k_thread_stack_t which gets instantiated by
K_THREAD_STACK_DECLARE(), this is no longer treated by the compiler
as a character pointer, even though it really is.
To access the real stack buffer within, the result of
K_THREAD_STACK_BUFFER() can be used, which will return a char * type.
This should catch a bunch of programming mistakes at build time:
- Declaring a character array outside of K_THREAD_STACK_DECLARE() and
passing it to K_THREAD_CREATE
- Directly examining the stack created by K_THREAD_STACK_DECLARE()
which is not actually the memory desired and may trigger a CPU
exception

Historically, space for struct k_thread was always carved out of the
thread's stack region. However, we want more control on where this data
will reside; in memory protection scenarios the stack may only be used
for actual stack data and nothing else.
On some platforms (particularly ARM), including kernel_arch_data.h from
the toplevel kernel.h exposes intractable circular dependency issues.
We create a new per-arch header "kernel_arch_thread.h" with very limited
scope; it only defines the three data structures necessary to instantiate
the arch-specific bits of a struct k_thread.

Convert code to use u{8,16,32,64}_t and s{8,16,32,64}_t instead of C99
integer types. There are few places we dont convert over to the new
types because of compatiability with ext/HALs or for ease of transition
at this point. Fixup a few of the PRI formatters so we build with newlib.

This is a start to move away from the C99 {u}int{8,16,32,64}_t types to
Zephyr defined u{8,16,32,64}_t and s{8,16,32,64}_t. This allows Zephyr
to define the sized types in a consistent manor across all the
architectures we support and not conflict with what various compilers
and libc might do with regards to the C99 types.
We introduce <zephyr/types.h> as part of this and have it include
<stdint.h> for now until we transition all the code away from the C99
types.
We go with u{8,16,32,64}_t and s{8,16,32,64}_t as there are some
existing variables defined u8 & u16 as well as to be consistent with
Zephyr naming conventions.

Added a riscv-privilege.h header file that contains common
definitions for all riscv SOCs supporting the riscv
privileged architecture specification.
This shall ease addition of future riscv SOCs supporting
the riscv privileged architecture spec.

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.

RISC-V is an open-source instruction set architecture.
Added support for the 32bit version of RISC-V to Zephyr.
1) exceptions/interrupts/faults are handled at the architecture
level via the __irq_wrapper handler. Context saving/restoring
of registers can be handled at both architecture and SOC levels.
If SOC-specific registers need to be saved, SOC level needs to
provide __soc_save_context and __soc_restore_context functions
that shall be accounted by the architecture level, when
corresponding config variable RISCV_SOC_CONTEXT_SAVE is set.
2) As RISC-V architecture does not provide a clear ISA specification
about interrupt handling, each RISC-V SOC handles it in its own
way. Hence, at the architecture level, the __irq_wrapper handler
expects the following functions to be provided by the SOC level:
__soc_is_irq: to check if the exception is the result of an
interrupt or not.
__soc_handle_irq: handle pending IRQ at SOC level (ex: clear
pending IRQ in SOC-specific IRQ register)
3) Thread/task scheduling, as well as IRQ offloading are handled via
the RISC-V system call ("ecall"), which is also handled via the
__irq_wrapper handler. The _Swap asm function just calls "ecall"
to generate an exception.
4) As there is no conventional way of handling CPU power save in
RISC-V, the default nano_cpu_idle and nano_cpu_atomic_idle
functions just unlock interrupts and return to the caller, without
issuing any CPU power saving instruction. Nonetheless, to allow
SOC-level to implement proper CPU power save, nano_cpu_idle and
nano_cpu_atomic_idle functions are defined as __weak
at the architecture level.
