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.

This reverts commit 2bc709d4b9.
Commit 2bc709d4b9 was intended to handle the case where up_timer_gettime may not start from zero case. However, this change has the side-effect of breaking every implementation of tickless mode: After this change the tickless timer structures are used before they are initialized in clock_inittime(). Initialization happens later when up_initialize is called() when arm_timer_initialize().
Since the tickless mode timer is very special, one solution might be to
1. Rename xxx_timer_initialize to up_timer_initialize
2 Move up_timer_initialize to include/nuttx/arch.h
3. Call it from clock subsystem instead up_initialize
Basically, this change make timer initialization almost same as rtc initialization(up_rtc_initialize).
For now, however, we just need to revert the change.
libs/libc/pthread/pthread_spinlock.c: Resolve several TODO issues by accessing up_testset() via the boardctl() interface rather than attempting to call it directly.
configs/boardctl.c, include/sys/boardctl.h: Add access to architecture-specific up_testset() via boardctl().
arch/Kconfig's, sched/Kconfig, and include/nuttx/spinlock.h: Spinlocks are not available unless the architecture supports the up_testset() operation.
sched/init/nx_start.c: Add support for CONFIG_BOARD_DRIVER_INITIALIZE. If this option is selected then nx_start() will call a board-provided function board_driver_initialize() immediately after calling up_initialize().
Rename CONFIG_BOARD_INITIALIZE to CONFIG_BOARD_LATE_INITIALIZE.
Raname board_initialize() to board_late_initialize()

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 solution to the problem noted by EunBong Song results in major memory fragmentation and and out-of-memory conditions on the PX4 platform. On that platform the lower priority work queue is very low priority and essentially never runs when the system is busy. As a result, the systems gets slowly starved of memory until failures and bad behaviors begin to occur.
This is an addition patch coming later to result the original problem in a different way that does not have cause memory starvation.
This reverts commit 91aa26774b.
fs/procfs/fs_procfsproc: Extended the process ID ProcFS output to show per-thread maximum time for pre-emption disabled and maximum time within a critical section.
sched/sched/sched_critmonitor.c: Adds data collection logic in support of monitoring critical sections and pre-emption state.
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.
sched/wqueue/kwork_notifier.c: Redesign some data structures. struct works_s must appear at the beginning of the notifier entry structure. That is because it contains the work queue indices. This solves a harfault issue.
net/tcp/tcp_netpoll.c: tcp_iob_work() needs to free the allocated argument when it is finished.
net/tcp/tcp_send_buffered.c: Extend psock_tcp_cansend() so that it also requires that at least on IOB is also avaialble.
mm/iob: iob_navail() was returning the number of free IOB chain queue entries, not the number of free IOBs. Completely misnamed.
net/tcp/tcp_netpoll.c: Add logic to receive notifications when IOBs are freed (Needs CONFIG_NET_TCP_WRITE_BUFFERS and CONFIG_IOB_NOTIFIER). At present, does nothing because the logic in in psock_tcp_cansend() does not check for the availability of IOBs. That will change.
TASK A TASK B
malloc()
mm_takesemaphore()
heap holder is set to TASK B
<--- preempt

task_exit()

TASK B
Try to release tcb, and

mm_takesemaphore()
- Successfully obtain
semaphore because current
task and heap holder is

Free memory....
Heap corrupt.
This change forces all de-allocations via sched_kfree() and sched_ufree()
to be delayed. Eliminating the immediate de-allocation prevents the
above problem with the the re-entrant semaphore because the deallocation
always occurs on the worker thread, never on TASK B.
There could be consequences in the timing of memory availability. We
will see.
Squashed commit of the following:
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:
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.
