Leandro Pereira a1ae8453f7 kernel: Name of static functions should not begin with an underscore
Names that begin with an underscore are reserved by the C standard.
This patch does not change names of functions defined and implemented
in header files.

Andy Ross 85557b011e kernel: Simplified idle for SMP auxiliary CPUs
A pure timer-based idle won't work well in SMP.  Without an IPI to
wake up idle CPUs out of the scheduler they will sleep far too long
and the main CPU will do all the scheduling of wake-up-and-sleep
processes.  Instead just have the auxilary CPUs do a traditional
busy-wait scheduler in their idle loop.

We will need to revisit an architecture that allows both
wait-for-timer-interrupt idle and SMP.

Adithya Baglody be1cb961ad tests: benchmark: boot_time: Reading time stamps made arch agnostic
1. Changed _tsc_read() to k_cycles_get_32(). Thus reading the
time stamp will be agnostic of the architecutre used.
2. Changed the variable names from *_tsc to *_time_stamp.

Ramesh Thomas 89ffd44dfb kernel: tickless: Add tickless kernel support
Adds event based scheduling logic to the kernel. Updates
management of timeouts, timers, idling etc. based on
time tracked at events rather than periodic ticks. Provides
interfaces for timers to announce and get next timer expiry
based on kernel scheduling decisions involving time slicing
of threads, timeouts and idling. Uses wall time units instead
of ticks in all scheduling activities.

The implementation involves changes in the following areas

1. Management of time in wall units like ms/us instead of ticks
The existing implementation already had an option to configure
number of ticks in a second. The new implementation builds on
top of that feature and provides option to set the size of the
scheduling granurality to mili seconds or micro seconds. This
allows most of the current implementation to be reused. Due to
this re-use and co-existence with tick based kernel, the names
of variables may contain the word "tick". However, in the
tickless kernel implementation, it represents the currently
configured time unit, which would be be mili seconds or
micro seconds. The APIs that take time as a parameter are not
impacted and they continue to pass time in mili seconds.

2. Timers would not be programmed in periodic mode
generating ticks. Instead they would be programmed in one
shot mode to generate events at the time the kernel scheduler
needs to gain control for its scheduling activities like
timers, timeouts, time slicing, idling etc.

3. The scheduler provides interfaces that the timer drivers
use to announce elapsed time and get the next time the scheduler
needs a timer event. It is possible that the scheduler may not
need another timer event, in which case the system would wait
for a non-timer event to wake it up if it is idling.

4. New APIs are defined to be implemented by timer drivers. Also
they need to handler timer events differently. These changes
have been done in the HPET timer driver. In future other timers
that support tickles kernel should implement these APIs as well.
These APIs are to re-program the timer, update and announce
elapsed time.

5. Philosopher and timer_api applications have been enabled to
test tickless kernel. Separate configuration files are created
which define the necessary CONFIG flags. Run these apps using
following command
make pristine && make BOARD=qemu_x86 CONF_FILE=prj_tickless.conf qemu

Kumar Gala cc334c7273 Convert remaining code to using newly introduced integer sized types
Convert code to use u{8,16,32,64}_t and s{8,16,32,64}_t instead of C99
integer types.  This handles the remaining includes and kernel, plus
touching up various points that we skipped because of include
dependancies.  We also convert the PRI printf formatters in the arch
code over to normal formatters.

David B. Kinder ac74d8b652 license: Replace Apache boilerplate with SPDX tag
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.
