This commit repartitions the logic by moving some of the changes from mm_sem.c into task_getpid.c. The logic is equivalent for the case of mm_trysemaphore(), but no has wider impact since it potentially affects all callers of getpid(). Hence, this change may also introduce some other issues that will need to be addressed.
This change adds a check to mm_trysemaphore() (the root implementation of both kmm_trysemaphore() and umm_trysemaphore()). It checks if the that task that is apparently executing is marked as RUNNING. If not, how could the non-running task be trying to get the MM semaphore? I think only in the exact scenario that Eunbong Song has described.
So I think the solution should provide the same protection as 91aa26774b but without the horrific consequences to memory usage.

* NuttX: make strerror() return 'Success' for 0
* NuttX: fix strrchr() so that it considers null terminator as part of string
From strrchr(3) man page:
"The terminating null byte is considered part of the string, so that if c
is specified as '\0', these functions return a pointer to the terminator."
* NuttX: mm_free(): Add DEBUGASSERT()'s to catch memory corruption early.
It's easier to find the source when asserts fail already when freeing
an overflowed buffer, than if the corruption is only detected on next
malloc().
* MM_FILL_ALLOCATIONS: Add debug option to fill all mallocs()
This is helpful for detecting uninitialized variables,
especially in C++ code. I seem to be forgetting to initialize
member variables and then they just get random values..
* NuttX: nxtk_bitmapwindow: Fix warning message when bitmap is fully off-screen.
* nxfonts_getfont: Avoid unnecessary warnings for other whitespace chars also.
* NuttX: Fix kerning of 'I' in Sans17x22 font
The I character was running together with some other
characters, e.g. in sequence "IMI".
* NXMU: Revalidate window pointer for mouse events.
NXMU caches the previous window pointer so that further mouse
events can be sent to the same window. However, if the window
is destroyed while mouse button is held down, the pointer may
become invalid and cause a crash. This patch revalidates the
pointer before using it.

Fix up some final compile isses.
net/netdev: Convert the network down notification logic to use the new wqueue-based notification factility.
net/udp: Convert the UDP readahead notification logic to use the new wqueue-based notification factility.
net/tcp: Convert the TCP readahead notification logic to use the new wqueue-based notification factility.
mm/iob: Convert the IOB notification logic to use the new wqueue-based notification factility.
sched/wqueue: Signals are not good IPCs to support the target poll functionality for several reasons including the amount of data that can be passed with a signal and in the fact that in protected and kernel modes, user threads executing signal handlers in protected, kernel memory is problematic. Instead, convert the same logic to perform the notifications via function callback on the high priority work queue.
Squashed commit of the following:
net/tcp: Add signal notification for the case when UDP read-ahead data is buffered. This is basically of clone of the TCP notification logic with naming adapted for UDP.
net/tcp: Add signal notification for the case when TCP read-ahead data is buffered.
Squashed commit of the following:
mm/iob: The IOB available notifier is now just a wrapper around the common signal notifier.
sched/signal: Add a generic signal notification facility.
sched/signal/sig_evthread.c: More trivial naming changes.
sched/signal: Rename nxsig_notification() to nxsig_evthread() to make forthcoming naming additions more consistent.
Fix SMP related bugs
* sched/sched: Fix a deadlock in SMP mode
Two months ago, I introduced sched_tasklist_lock() and
sched_tasklist_unlock() to protect tasklists in SMP mode.
Actually, this change works pretty well for HTTP audio
streaming aging test with lc823450-xgevk.
However, I found a deadlock in the scheduler when I tried
similar aging tests with DVFS autonomous mode where CPU
clock speed changed based on cpu load. In this case, call
sequences were as follows;
cpu1: sched_unlock()->sched_mergepending()->sched_addreadytorun()->up_cpu_pause()
cpu0: sched_lock()->sched_mergepending()
To avoid this deadlock, I added sched_tasklist_unlock() when calling
up_cpu_pause() and sched_addreadytorun(). Also, added
sched_tasklist_lock() after the call.

Squashed commit of the following:
net/udp: Address most of the issues with UDP write buffering. There is a remaining issue with handling one network going down in a multi-network environment. None of this has been test but it is certainly ready for test. Hence, the feature is marked EXPERIMENTAL.
net/udp: Some baby steps toward a corrected write buffering design.
net/udp: Remove pesky write buffer macros.
Eliminate trailing space at the end of lines.
net/udp: A little more UDP write buffering logic. Still at least on big gaping hole in the design.
net/udp: Undefined CONFIG_NET_SENDTO_TIMEOUT.
net/udp: Crude, naive port of the TCP write buffering logic into UDP. This commit is certainly non-functional and is simply a starting point for the implementatin of UDP write buffering.
net/udp: Rename udp/udp_psock_sendto.c udp/udp_psock_sendto_unbuffered.c.
Replace all usage kill() in the OS proper with nxsig_kill().
sched/signal: Add nxsig_kill() which is functionally equivalent to kill() except that it does not modify the errno variable.
This commit backs out most of commit b4747286b1. That change was added because sem_wait() would sometimes cause cancellation points inappropriated. But with these recent changes, nxsem_wait() is used instead and it is not a cancellation point.
In the OS, all calls to sem_wait() changed to nxsem_wait(). nxsem_wait() does not return errors via errno so each place where nxsem_wait() is now called must not examine the errno variable.
In all OS functions (not libraries), change sem_wait() to nxsem_wait(). This will prevent the OS from creating bogus cancellation points and from modifying the per-task errno variable.
sched/semaphore: Add the function nxsem_wait(). This is a new internal OS interface. It is functionally equivalent to sem_wait() except that (1) it is not a cancellation point, and (2) it does not set the per-thread errno value on return.
sched/semaphore: Add nxsem_post() which is identical to sem_post() except that it never modifies the errno variable. Changed all references to sem_post in the OS to nxsem_post().
sched/semaphore: Add nxsem_destroy() which is identical to sem_destroy() except that it never modifies the errno variable. Changed all references to sem_destroy() in the OS to nxsem_destroy().
libc/semaphore and sched/semaphore: Add nxsem_getprotocol() and nxsem_setprotocola which are identical to sem_getprotocol() and set_setprotocol() except that they never modifies the errno variable. Changed all references to sem_setprotocol in the OS to nxsem_setprotocol(). sem_getprotocol() was not used in the OS
libc/semaphore: Add nxsem_getvalue() which is identical to sem_getvalue() except that it never modifies the errno variable. Changed all references to sem_getvalue in the OS to nxsem_getvalue().
sched/semaphore: Rename all internal private functions from sem_xyz to nxsem_xyz. The sem_ prefix is (will be) reserved only for the application semaphore interfaces.
libc/semaphore: Add nxsem_init() which is identical to sem_init() except that it never modifies the errno variable. Changed all references to sem_init in the OS to nxsem_init().
sched/semaphore: Rename sem_tickwait() to nxsem_tickwait() so that it is clear this is an internal OS function.
sched/semaphoate: Rename sem_reset() to nxsem_reset() so that it is clear this is an internal OS function.
