malloc() and free() should never be used within the OS. This will work in the FLAT build because there is only a single heap, but will cause problems in PROTECTED and KERNEL build modes where there are separate heaps for user and kernel memory.
Typically kmm_malloc(), kmm_zalloc(), and kmm_free() should be called within the kernel in those build modes to use the kernel heap.
Memory is never free. Possible memory leak:
./boards/arm/cxd56xx/common/src/cxd56_crashdump.c: pdump = malloc(sizeof(fullcontext_t));
Memory allocated with malloc(), but freed with kmm_free():
./drivers/usbhost/usbhost_composite.c: cfgbuffer = (FAR uint8_t *)malloc(CUSTOM_CONFIG_BUFSIZE);
Memory is never freed in these cases. It is allocated in the driver initialization logic, but there is no corresponding uninitialization logic; memory is not freed on error conditions:
./arch/arm/src/lc823450/lc823450_i2s.c: priv = (struct lc823450_i2s_s *)zalloc(sizeof(struct lc823450_i2s_s));
./arch/arm/src/sam34/sam_spi.c: spics = (struct sam_spics_s *)zalloc(sizeof(struct sam_spics_s));
./arch/arm/src/sama5/sam_spi.c: spics = (struct sam_spics_s *)zalloc(sizeof(struct sam_spics_s));
./arch/arm/src/samv7/sam_spi.c: spics = (struct sam_spics_s *)zalloc(sizeof(struct sam_spics_s));
Memory is allocated with zalloc() but freed on error conditions with kmm_free():
./arch/arm/src/sama5/sam_ssc.c: priv = (struct sam_ssc_s *)zalloc(sizeof(struct sam_ssc_s));
./arch/arm/src/samv7/sam_ssc.c: priv = (struct sam_ssc_s *)zalloc(sizeof(struct sam_ssc_s));
./arch/arm/src/stm32/stm32_i2s.c: priv = (struct stm32_i2s_s *)zalloc(sizeof(struct stm32_i2s_s));
Memory is never freed:
./drivers/spi/spi_bitbang.c: priv = (FAR struct spi_bitbang_s *)zalloc(sizeof(struct spi_bitbang_s));

* 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
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.
