A design flaw of 'gsource' is that there's no way to require at least
one file to match the glob pattern. This could lead to silent errors.
Switch to a new design, where a plain 'source' is globbing and requires
at least one file to match. A separate 'osource' (optional source)
statement is available for cases where it's okay for a pattern (or plain
filename) to not match any files.
'orsource' combines 'osource' and 'rsource' (relative source).
This commit search-replaces 'gsource' with 'source', but backwards
compatibility with 'gsource' is still maintained by making it an alias
for 'osource' (and by making 'grsource' an alias for 'orsource').
The three Kconfig files arch/{nios2,posix,xtensa}/Kconfig source
arch/{nios2,posix,xtensa}/soc/*/Kconfig, which doesn't match any files.
Use 'osource' for those. The soc/*/Kconfig files seem to be for
additional SoC-specific symbols, only none exist yet on those ARCHes.
Also use 'osource' for the source of $ENV_VAR_BOARD_DIR/Kconfig in
boards/Kconfig, which doesn't exist for all boards.

Up until now, Zephyr has patched Kconfig to use the last 'default' with
a satisfied condition, instead of the first one. I'm not sure why the
patch was added (it predates Kconfiglib), but I suspect it's related to
Kconfig.defconfig files.
There are at least three problems with the patch:
1. It's inconsistent with how Kconfig works in other projects, which
might confuse newcomers.
2. Due to oversights, earlier 'range' properties are still preferred,
as well as earlier 'default' properties on choices.
In addition to being inconsistent, this makes it impossible to
override 'range' properties and choice 'default' properties if the
base definition of the symbol/choice already has 'range'/'default'
properties.
I've seen errors caused by the inconsistency, and I suspect there
are more.
3. A fork of Kconfiglib that adds the patch needs to be maintained.
Get rid of the patch and go back to standard Kconfig behavior, as
follows:
1. Include the Kconfig.defconfig files first instead of last in
Kconfig.zephyr.
2. Include boards/Kconfig and arch/<arch>/Kconfig first instead of
last in arch/Kconfig.
3. Include arch/<arch>/soc/*/Kconfig first instead of last in
arch/<arch>/Kconfig.
4. Swap a few other 'source's to preserve behavior for some scattered
symbols with multiple definitions.
Swap 'source's in some no-op cases too, where it might match the
intent.
5. Reverse the defaults on symbol definitions that have more than one
default.
Skip defaults that are mutually exclusive, e.g. where each default
has an 'if <some board>' condition. They are already safe.
6. Remove the prefer-later-defaults patch from Kconfiglib.
Testing was done with a Python script that lists all Kconfig
symbols/choices with multiple defaults, along with a whitelist of fixed
symbols. The script also verifies that there are no "unreachable"
defaults hidden by defaults without conditions
As an additional test, zephyr/.config was generated before and after the
change for several samples and checked to be identical (after sorting).
This commit includes some default-related cleanups as well:
- Simplify some symbol definitions, e.g. where a default has 'if FOO'
when the symbol already has 'depends on FOO'.
- Remove some redundant 'default ""' for string symbols. This is the
implicit default.
Piggyback fixes for swapped ranges on BT_L2CAP_RX_MTU and
BT_L2CAP_TX_MTU (caused by confusing inconsistency).
Piggyback some fixes for style nits too, e.g. unindented help texts.

Until now, Zephyr has used a patched Kconfiglib that turns 'source' into
a globbing source (by replacing 'source' with 'gsource' at the token
level). There's two problems with this:
- The patch needs to be maintained separately
- Misspelled filenames are silently ignored, as they look like glob
patterns that don't match anything
Fix it as follows:
1. Replace all 'source' statements that use wildcards with 'gsource'
2. Remove the custom Kconfiglib patch so that 'source' no longer globs
The sed pattern '/source.*[*?]/s/source/gsource/' was run over all
Kconfig* files to do the replacement.
source's that use environment variables that might contain glob patterns
were manually changed to gsource.
Building the docs in doc/ is a good test, as doc/Makefile deliberately
sets the environment variables to glob up as many Kconfig files as
possible.

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.

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

Currently this is defined as a k_thread_stack_t pointer.
However this isn't correct, stacks are defined as arrays. Extern
references to k_thread_stack_t doesn't work properly as the compiler
treats it as a pointer to the stack array and not the array itself.
Declaring as an unsized array of k_thread_stack_t doesn't work
well either. The least amount of confusion is to leave out the
pointer/array status completely, use pointers for function prototypes,
and define K_THREAD_STACK_EXTERN() to properly create an extern
reference.

k_thread_stack_t need to be updated, but code that uses them should

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

One of the stack sentinel policies was to check the sentinel
any time a cooperative context switch is done (i.e, _Swap is
called).
This was done by adding a hook to _check_stack_sentinel in
every arch's __swap function.
This way is cleaner as we just have the hook in one inline
function rather than implemented in several different assembly
dialects.
The check upon interrupt is now made unconditionally rather
than checking if we are calling __swap, since the check now
is only called on cooperative _Swap(). The interrupt is always
serviced first.

Unline k_thread_spawn(), the struct k_thread can live anywhere and not
in the thread's stack region. This will be useful for memory protection
scenarios where private kernel structures for a thread are not
accessible by that thread, or we want to allow the thread to use all the
stack space we gave it.
This requires a change to the internal _new_thread() API as we need to
provide a separate pointer for the k_thread.
By default, we still create internal threads with the k_thread in stack
memory. Forthcoming patches will change this, but we first need to make
it easier to define k_thread memory of variable size depending on
whether we need to store coprocessor state or not.

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.

If the archtecture supports it, a real CPU exception can be triggered
which will provide a complete register dump and PC value when the
problem occurs. This will provide more helpful information than a fake

These two fields in the thread structure control the preemptibility of a

sched_locked is decremented when the scheduler gets locked, which means
that the scheduler is locked for values 0xff to 0x01, since it can be
locked recursively. A thread is coop if its priority is negative, thus
if the prio field value is 0x80 to 0xff when looked at as an unsigned
value.
By putting them end-to-end, this means that a thread is non-preemptible
if the bundled value is greater than or equal to 0x0080. This is the
only thing the interrupt exit code has to check to decide to try a

Some thread fields were 32-bit wide, when they are not even close to
using that full range of values. They are instead changed to 8-bit fields.
- prio can fit in one byte, limiting the priorities range to -128 to 127
- recursive scheduler locking can be limited to 255; a rollover results
most probably from a logic error
- flags are split into execution flags and thread states; 8 bits is
enough for each of them currently, with at worst two states and four
flags to spare (on x86, on other archs, there are six flags to spare)
Doing this saves 8 bytes per stack. It also sets up an incoming
enhancement when checking if the current thread is preemptible on
interrupt exit.

The way the ready thread cache was implemented caused it to not always
be "hot", i.e. there could be some misses, which happened when the
cached thread was taken out of the ready queue. When that happened, it
was not replaced immediately, since doing so could mean that the
replacement might not run because the flow could be interrupted and
another thread could take its place. This was the more conservative
approach that insured that moving a thread to the cache would never be
wasted.
However, this caused two problems:
1. The cache could not be refilled until another thread context-switched
in, since there was no thread in the cache to compare priorities
against.
2. Interrupt exit code would always have to call into C to find what
thread to run when the current thread was not coop and did not have the
scheduler locked. Furthermore, it was possible for this code path to
encounter a cold cache and then it had to find out what thread to run
the long way.
To fix this, filling the cache is now more aggressive, i.e. the next
thread to put in the cache is found even in the case the current cached
thread is context-switched out. This ensures the interrupt exit code is
much faster on the slow path. In addition, since finding the next thread
to run is now always "get it from the cache", which is a simple fetch
from memory (_kernel.ready_q.cache), there is no need to call the more
complex C code.
On the ARM FRDM K64F board, this improvement is seen:
Before:
1- Measure time to switch from ISR back to interrupted task
switching time is 215 tcs = 1791 nsec
2- Measure time from ISR to executing a different task (rescheduled)
switch time is 315 tcs = 2625 nsec
After:
1- Measure time to switch from ISR back to interrupted task
switching time is 130 tcs = 1083 nsec
2- Measure time from ISR to executing a different task (rescheduled)
switch time is 225 tcs = 1875 nsec
These are the most dramatic improvements, but most of the numbers
generated by the latency_measure test are improved.
Fixes ZEP-1401.

Prio should be an int, since values are small integers, not a fixed-size
int32_t. It aligns with the prio parameters of the other APIs.
Stack size should be size_t.

There was a lot of duplication between architectures for the definition
of threads and the "nanokernel" guts. These have been consolidated.
Now, a common file kernel/unified/include/kernel_structs.h holds the
common definitions. Architectures provide two files to complement it:
kernel_arch_data.h and kernel_arch_func.h. The first one contains at
least the struct _thread_arch and struct _kernel_arch data structures,
as well as the struct _callee_saved and struct _caller_saved register
layouts. The second file contains anything that needs what is provided
by the common stuff in kernel_structs.h. Those two files are only meant
to be included in kernel_structs.h in very specific locations.
The thread data structure has been separated into three major parts:
common struct _thread_base and struct k_thread, and arch-specific struct
_thread_arch. The first and third ones are included in the second.
The struct s_NANO data structure has been split into two: common struct
_kernel and arch-specific struct _kernel_arch. The latter is included in
the former.
Offsets files have also changed: nano_offsets.h has been renamed
kernel_offsets.h and is still included by the arch-specific offsets.c.
Also, since the thread and kernel data structures are now made of
sub-structures, offsets have to be added to make up the full offset.
Some of these additions have been consolidated in shorter symbols,
available from kernel/unified/include/offsets_short.h, which includes an
arch-specific offsets_arch_short.h. Most of the code include
offsets_short.h now instead of offsets.h.

The toolchain headers included an abstraction for defining symbol
names in assembly context in the situation where we're using a
DOS-style assembler that automatically prepends an underscore to
symbol names.
We aren't. Zephyr is an ELF platform. None of our toolchains do
this. Nothing sets the "TOOL_PREPENDS_UNDERSCORE" macro from within
the project, and it surely isn't an industry standard. Yank it out.
Now we can write assembler labels in natural syntax, and a few other
things fall out to simplify too.
(NOTE: these headers contain assembly code and will fail checkpatch.
That is an expected false positive.)
