Summary:
- SP_SECTION was introduced to allocate spinlock in non-cachable
region mainly for Cortex-A to stabilize the NuttX SMP kernel
- However, all spinlocks are now allocated in cachable area and
works without any problems
- So SP_SECTION should be removed to simplify the kernel code
Impact:
- None
Testing:
- Build test only

Summary:
- This commit changes spinlock APIs (spin_lock_irqsave/spin_unlock_irqrestore)
- In the previous implementation, the global spinlock (i.e. g_irq_spin) was used.
- This commit allows to use caller specific spinlock but also supports to use
g_irq_spin for backword compatibility (In this case, NULL must be specified)
Impact:
- None
Testing:
- Tested with the following configurations
- spresnse:wifi, spresense:wifi_smp
- esp32-devkitc:smp (QEMU), sabre6-quad:smp (QEMU)
- maxi-bit:smp (QEMU), sim:smp
- stm32f4discovery:wifi

Summary:
- ARCH_GLOBAL_IRQDISABLE was initially introduced for LC823450 SMP
- At that time, i.MX6 (quad Cortex-A9) did not use this config
- However, this option is now used for all CPUs which support SMP
- So it's good timing for refactoring the code
Impact:
- Should have no impact because the logic is the same for SMP
Testing:
- Tested with board: spresense:smp, spresense:wifi_smp
- Tested with qemu: esp32-core:smp, maix-bit:smp, sabre-6quad:smp
- Build only: lc823450-xgevk:rndis, sam4cmp-db:nsh

SMP: Introduce spin_lock_irqsave() and spin_unlock_irqrestore()
These APIs are simplified version of enter_critical_section() and
leave_critical_section() to protect data (e.g. registers) in SMP mode.
By using these APIs inside drivers, performace will be improved.
