* Simplify EINTR/ECANCEL error handling
1. Add semaphore uninterruptible wait function
2 .Replace semaphore wait loop with a single uninterruptible wait
3. Replace all sem_xxx to nxsem_xxx
* Unify the void cast usage
1. Remove void cast for function because many place ignore the returned value witout cast
2. Replace void cast for variable with UNUSED macro
task_spawn() and posix_spawn() are NuttX OS interfaces. In PROTECTED and KERNEL build modes, then can be reached from applications only via a system call. Currently, the number of parameters in a system call is limited to six; these spawn function have seven parameters. Rather than extend the maximum number of parameters across all architectures, I opted instead to marshal the seven parameters into a structure.
*
In order to support builtin in function in protected mode, a task_spawn() system call must be supported. Unfortunately this is overly complex because there is a (soft) limit of 6 parameters in a system call; task_spawn has seven paramters. This is a soft limit but still difficult to extend because it involves assembly language changes to numerous architectures. Better to get more creative.

sched/ (plus some binfmt/, include/, and arch/): Rename task_start() and task_starthook() to nxtask_start() and nxtask_starthook().
arch/ and sched/: Rename task_exit() and task_exithook() to nxtask_exit() and nxtask_exithook(), respectively.

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.
1. Move exepath_*() related code to libc/misc
1. Rename exepath_ to envpath_
2. Rename BINFMT_EXEPATH to LIB_ENVPATH
libs/libc/modlib: Add pre module library symbol table support
many locations: Change occurences of open() followed by file_detach() to file_open(). Change most non-controversion calls to open() to nx_open().
fs/inode/fs_fileopen.c: Flesh out file_open() with some interim, placeholder logic.
fs/inode/fs_fileopen.c: Add a framework for a file_open() implementation (no real logic in place yet).
fs/vfs/fs_open.c: Add nx_open() which is the same as open() except that it does not create a cancellation point nor does it modify the errno variable.
drivers/serial/Kconfig: It is no longer necessary to restrict Ctrl-C handling to the FLAT build
sched/signal: Add a new configuration option to select signal default actions, separate handling of signal default actions from both task startup logic and from the serial TTY Ctrl-C logic. Add a signal set in the group structure to keep track of what signals have been set to the default action. In dispatching signals in PROTECTED or KERNEL mode, use this signal set to determine if the default signal handler is attached and dispatch the signal in kernel mode for the default actions.
drivers/serial: Add Ctrl-C/Ctrl-X support. This is an initial working implementation that still requires that several details be resolved.
sched/task/task_start.c: Add default signal action to SIGKILL.
binfmt/, libs/libc/unistd, and others: Rename CONFIG_EXECFUNCS_SYMTAB to CONFIG_EXECFUNCS_SYMTAB_ARRAY. Rename CONFIG_EXECFUNCS_NSYMBOLS to CONFIG_EXECFUNCS_NSYMBOLS_VAR. Unlike CONFIG_EXECFUNCS_NSYMBOLS, CONFIG_EXECFUNCS_NSYMBOLS_VAR holds the name of an 'int' variable that contains the number of symbols in the symbol table.
configs/sama5d4-ek: Partial update to knsh build instructions.
sched/: Convert legitimate uses of task_create() to nxtask_create(). Review handling of returned values from all uses of kthread_create() (as well as nxtask_create()).
graphics/: Review return values for all calls to kthread_start() because it no longer returns an errno.
drivers/: threads started by drivers should be kernel threads, not user tasks. Review return values for all calls to kthread_start() because it no longer returns an errno.
configs/: threads started by board bringup logic should be kernel threads, not user tasksi (part 2 of 2).
sched/task: Add nxtask_create(). Kthread_create() and nxtask_create() are internal OS functions and should not modify the errno variable. configs/: threads started by board bringup logic should be kernel threads, not user tasks.
The previous implementation of clearing global IRQ in sched_addreadytorun()
and sched_removereadytorun() was done too early. As a result, nxsem_post()
would have a chance to enter the critical section even nxsem_wait() is
still not in blocked state. This patch moves clearing global IRQ controls
from sched_addreadytorun() and sched_removereadytorun() to sched_resumescheduler()
to ensure that nxsem_post() can enter the critical section correctly.
For this change, sched_resumescheduler.c is always necessary for SMP configuration.
In addition, by this change, task_exit() had to be modified so that it calls
sched_resumescheduler() because it calls sched_removescheduler() inside the
function, otherwise it will cause a deadlock.
However, I encountered another DEBUGASSERT() in sched_cpu_select() during
HTTP streaming aging test on lc823450-xgevk. Actually sched_cpu_select()
accesses the g_assignedtasks which might be changed by another CPU. Similarly,
other tasklists might be modified simultaneously if both CPUs are executing
scheduling logic. To avoid this, I introduced tasklist protetion APIs.
With these changes, SMP kernel stability has been much improved.

sched/sched: Correct some build issues introduced by last set of changes.
sched/sched: Add new internal OS function nxsched_setaffinity() that is identical to sched_isetaffinity() except that it does not modify the errno value. All usage of sched_setaffinity() within the OS is replaced with nxsched_setaffinity().
sched/sched: Internal functions sched_reprioritize() and sched_setpriority() no longer movidify the errno value. Also renamed to nxsched_reprioritize() and sched_setpriority().
sched/sched: Add new internal OS function nxsched_getscheduler() that is identical to sched_getscheduler() except that it does not modify the errno value. All usage of sched_getscheduler() within the OS is replaced with nxsched_getscheduler().
sched/sched: Add new internal OS function nxsched_setparam() that is identical to sched_setparam() except that it does not modify the errno value. All usage of sched_setparam() within the OS is replaced with nxsched_setparam().
sched/sched: Add new internal OS function nxsched_getparam() that is identical to sched_getparam() except that it does not modify the errno value (actually, the previous value erroneously neglected to set the errno value to begin with, but this fixes both issues). All usage of sched_getparam() within the OS is replaced with nxsched_getparam().
