fcd392f6ce kernel: subsys: lib: drivers: Use k_heap instead of z_mem_pool wrappers
Use the core k_heap API pervasively within our tree instead of the
z_mem_pool wrapper that provided compatibility with the older mempool
implementation.

Almost all of this is straightforward swapping of one alloc/free call
for another.  In a few cases where code was holding onto an old-style
"mem_block" a local compatibility struct with a single field has been
swapped in to keep the invasiveness of the changes down.

Note that not all the relevant changes in this patch have in-tree test
coverage, though I validated that it all builds.

987658dcee tests/kernel: Fill allocation robustly for mpool heap backend
These five tests (mbox_api, mheap_api_concept, msgq_api, pipe_api and
queue) all had test cases where they needed a mem_pool allocation to
FAIL.  And they are all written to assume the behavior of the original
allocator and not the more general k_heap code, which actually
succeeds in a bunch of these cases.

* Even a very small heap saves enough metadata memory for the very
  small minimum block size, and this can be re-used as an allocation.
  So you can't assume a small heap is full.

* Calculating the number of blocks based on "num_blocks * max size /
  minimum size" and allocating them does not fill the heap, because
  the conservative metadata reservation leaves some space left over.

So these have all been modified to "fill" a heap by iteratively
allocating until failure.

Also, this fixes a benign overrun bug in mbox.  The test code would
insert a "big" message by reading past the end of the small message
buffer.  This didn't fail because it happened to be part of an array
of messages and the other ones defined contained the memory read.  But
still.

7832738ae9 kernel/timeout: Make timeout arguments an opaque type
Add a k_timeout_t type, and use it everywhere that kernel API
functions were accepting a millisecond timeout argument.  Instead of
forcing milliseconds everywhere (which are often not integrally
representable as system ticks), do the conversion to ticks at the
point where the timeout is created.  This avoids an extra unit
conversion in some application code, and allows us to express the
timeout in units other than milliseconds to achieve greater precision.

The existing K_MSEC() et. al. macros now return initializers for a
k_timeout_t.

The K_NO_WAIT and K_FOREVER constants have now become k_timeout_t
values, which means they cannot be operated on as integers.
Applications which have their own APIs that need to inspect these
vs. user-provided timeouts can now use a K_TIMEOUT_EQ() predicate to
test for equality.

Timer drivers, which receive an integer tick count in ther
z_clock_set_timeout() functions, now use the integer-valued
K_TICKS_FOREVER constant instead of K_FOREVER.

For the initial release, to preserve source compatibility, a
CONFIG_LEGACY_TIMEOUT_API kconfig is provided.  When true, the
k_timeout_t will remain a compatible 32 bit value that will work with
any legacy Zephyr application.

Some subsystems present timeout (or timeout-like) values to their own
users as APIs that would re-use the kernel's own constants and
conventions.  These will require some minor design work to adapt to
the new scheme (in most cases just using k_timeout_t directly in their
own API), and they have not been changed in this patch, instead
selecting CONFIG_LEGACY_TIMEOUT_API via kconfig.  These subsystems
include: CAN Bus, the Microbit display driver, I2S, LoRa modem
drivers, the UART Async API, Video hardware drivers, the console
subsystem, and the network buffer abstraction.

k_sleep() now takes a k_timeout_t argument, with a k_msleep() variant
provided that works identically to the original API.

Most of the changes here are just type/configuration management and
documentation, but there are logic changes in mempool, where a loop
that used a timeout numerically has been reworked using a new
z_timeout_end_calc() predicate.  Also in queue.c, a (when POLL was
enabled) a similar loop was needlessly used to try to retry the
k_poll() call after a spurious failure.  But k_poll() does not fail
spuriously, so the loop was removed.

32bb2395c2 timeout: Fix up API usage
Kernel timeouts have always been a 32 bit integer despite the
existence of generation macros, and existing code has been
inconsistent about using them.  Upcoming commits are going to make the
timeout arguments opaque, so fix things up to be rigorously correct.
Changes include:

+ Adding a K_TIMEOUT_EQ() macro for code that needs to compare timeout
  values for equality (e.g. with K_FOREVER or K_NO_WAIT).

+ Adding a k_msleep() synonym for k_sleep() which can continue to take
  integral arguments as k_sleep() moves away to timeout arguments.

+ Pervasively using the K_MSEC(), K_SECONDS(), et. al. macros to
  generate timeout arguments.

+ Removing the usage of K_NO_WAIT as the final argument to
  K_THREAD_DEFINE().  This is just a count of milliseconds and we need
  to use a zero.

This patch include no logic changes and should not affect generated
code at all.

407b49b35c cmake: use find_package to locate Zephyr
Using find_package to locate Zephyr.

Old behavior was to use $ENV{ZEPHYR_BASE} for inclusion of boiler plate
code.

Whenever an automatic run of CMake happend by the build system / IDE
then it was required that ZEPHYR_BASE was defined.
Using ZEPHYR_BASE only to locate the Zephyr package allows CMake to
cache the base variable and thus allowing subsequent invocation even
if ZEPHYR_BASE is not set in the environment.

It also removes the risk of strange build results if a user switchs
between different Zephyr based project folders and forgetting to reset
ZEPHYR_BASE before running ninja / make.

d1200d2155 tests: Never disable SMP
Disabling SMP mode for certain tests was a one-release thing, done to
avoid having to triage every test independently (MANY are not
SMP-safe), and with the knowledge that it was probably hiding bugs in
the kernel.

Turn it on pervasively.  Tests are treated with a combination of
flagging specific cases as "1cpu" where we have short-running tests
that can be independently run in an otherwise SMP environment, and via
setting CONFIG_MP_NUM_CPUS=1 where that's not possible (which still
runs the full SMP kernel config, but with only one CPU available).

6311766d9a pointer-type args: cast appropriately to be 64-bit compatible
Using void pointers as universal arguments is widely used. However, when
compiling a 64-bit target, the compiler doesn't like when an int is
converted to a pointer and vice versa despite the presence of a cast.
This is due to a width mismatch between ints (32 bits) and pointers
(64 bits). The trick is to cast to a widening integer type such as
intptr_t and then cast to
void*.

When appropriate, the INT_TO_POINTER macro is used instead of this
double cast to make things clearer. The converse with POINTER_TO_INT
is also done which also serves as good code annotations.

While at it, remove unneeded casts to specific pointer types from void*
in the vicinity, and move to typed variable upon function entry to make
the code cleaner.

fc3ca95ba7 tests: Mass SMP disablement on non-SMP-safe tests
(Chunk 2 of 3 - this patch was split across pull requests to address
CI build time limitations)

Zephyr has always been a uniprocessor system, and its kernel tests are
rife with assumptions and outright dependence on single-CPU operation
(for example: "low priority threads will never run until this high
priority thread blocks" -- not true if there's another processor to
run it!)

About 1/3 of our tests fail right now on x86_64 when dual processor
operation is made default.  Most of those can probably be recovered on
a case-by-case basis with simple changes (and a few of them might
represent real bugs in SMP!), but for now let's make sure the full
test suite passes by turning the second CPU off.  There's still plenty
of SMP coverage in the remaining cases.

7eabab2f5d samples, tests: Use semi-accurate project names
When using an IDE (e.g. Eclipse, Qt Creator), the project name gets
displayed. This greatly simplifies the navigation between projects when
having many of them open at the same time. Naming every project "NONE"
defeats this functionality.

This patch tries to use sensible project names while not duplicating
too much of what is already represented in the path. This is done by
using the name of the directory the relevant CMakeLists.txt file is
stored in. To ensure unique project names in the samples (and again, in
the tests folder) folder, small manual adjustments have been done.

55ee53ce91 cmake: Prepend 'cmake_minimum_required()' into 'app' build scripts
Prepend the text 'cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.8.2)' into the
application and test build scripts.

Modern versions of CMake will spam users with a deprecation warning
when the toplevel CMakeLists.txt does not specify a CMake
version. This is documented in bug #8355.

To resolve this we include a cmake_minimum_required() line into the
toplevel build scripts. Additionally, cmake_minimum_required is
invoked from within boilerplate.cmake. The highest version will be
enforced.

This patch allows us to afterwards change CMake policy CMP000 from OLD
to NEW which in turn finally rids us of the verbose warning.

The extra boilerplate is considered more acceptable than the verbosity
of the CMP0000 policy.

12f8f76165 Introduce cmake-based rewrite of KBuild
Introducing CMake is an important step in a larger effort to make
Zephyr easy to use for application developers working on different
platforms with different development environment needs.

Simplified, this change retains Kconfig as-is, and replaces all
Makefiles with CMakeLists.txt. The DSL-like Make language that KBuild
offers is replaced by a set of CMake extentions. These extentions have
either provided simple one-to-one translations of KBuild features or
introduced new concepts that replace KBuild concepts.

This is a breaking change for existing test infrastructure and build
scripts that are maintained out-of-tree. But for FW itself, no porting
should be necessary.

For users that just want to continue their work with minimal
disruption the following should suffice:

Install CMake 3.8.2+

Port any out-of-tree Makefiles to CMake.

Learn the absolute minimum about the new command line interface:

$ cd samples/hello_world
$ mkdir build && cd build
$ cmake -DBOARD=nrf52_pca10040 ..

$ cd build
$ make

unchanged (it's still a 4-way buddy allocator), but the implementation
has made different choices throughout.  Major changes:

Space efficiency: The old implementation required ~2.66 bytes per
"smallest block" in overhead, plus 16 bytes per log4 "level" of the
allocation tree, plus a global tracking struct of 32 bytes and a very
surprising 12 byte overhead (in struct k_mem_block) per active
allocation on top of the returned data pointer.  This new allocator
uses a simple bit array as the only per-block storage and places the
free list into the freed blocks themselves, requiring only ~1.33 bits
per smallest block, 12 bytes per level, 32 byte globally and only 4
bytes of per-allocation bookeeping.  And it puts more of the generated
tree into BSS, slightly reducing binary sizes for non-trivial pool
sizes (even as the code size itself has increased a tiny bit).

IRQ safe: atomic operations on the store have been cut down to be at
most "4 bit sets and dlist operations" (i.e. a few dozen
instructions), reducing latency significantly and allowing us to lock
against interrupts cleanly from all APIs.  Allocations and frees can
be done from ISRs now without limitation (well, obviously you can't
sleep, so "timeout" must be K_NO_WAIT).

Deterministic performance: there is no more "defragmentation" step
that must be manually managed.  Block coalescing is done synchronously
at free time and takes constant time (strictly log4(num_levels)), as
the detection of four free "partner bits" is just a simple shift and
mask operation.

Cleaner behavior with odd sizes.  The old code assumed that the
specified maximum size would be a power of four multiple of the
minimum size, making use of non-standard buffer sizes problematic.
This implementation re-aligns the sub-blocks at each level and can
handle situations wehre alignment restrictions mean fewer than 4x will
be available.  If you want precise layout control, you can still
specify the sizes rigorously.  It just doesn't break if you don't.

More portable: the original implementation made use of GNU assembler
macros embedded inline within C __asm__ statements.  Not all
toolchains are actually backed by a GNU assembler even when the
support the GNU assembly syntax.  This is pure C, albeit with some
hairy macros to expand the compile-time-computed values.

Related changes that had to be rolled into this patch for bisectability:

* The new allocator has a firm minimum block size of 8 bytes (to store
  the dlist_node_t).  It will "work" with smaller requested min_size
  values, but obviously makes no firm promises about layout or how
  many will be available.  Unfortunately many of the tests were
  written with very small 4-byte minimum sizes and to assume exactly
  how many they could allocate.  Bump the sizes to match the allocator
  minimum.

* The mbox and pipes API made use of the internals of k_mem_block and
  had to be ported to the new scheme.  Blocks no longer store a
  backpointer to the pool that allocated them (it's an integer ID in a
  bitfield) , so if you want to "nullify" them you have to use the
  data pointer.

* test_mbox_api had a bug were it was prematurely freeing k_mem_blocks
  that it sent through the mailbox.  This worked in the old allocator
  because the memory wouldn't be touched when freed, but now we stuff
  list pointers in there and the bug was exposed.

* Remove test_mpool_options: the options (related to defragmentation
  behavior) tested no longer exist.

c7bc909914 tests/ztest: rename assert macros to be zephyr specific
ztest has a number of assert style macros and used a baseline assert()
that varies from the system definition of assert() so lets rename
everything as zassert to be clear.
