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:
- I noticed that Cortex-A SGI can be masked
- We thought the SGI is not maskable
- Although I can not remember how I tested it before
- It actually works as expected now
- Also, fixed the number of remaining bugs in TODO
Impact:
- No impact
Testing:
- Tested with sabre-6quad:smp (QEMU and dev board)
- Add the following code in up_idle() before calling asm("WFI");
+ if (0 != up_cpu_index())
+ {
+ up_irq_save();
+ }
- Run the hello app, you can see "Hello, World!!"
- But nsh will freeze soon because arm_pause_handler is not called.

Summary:
- I found a deadlock during Wi-Fi audio streaming test plus stress test
- The testing environment was spresense:wifi_smp (NCPUS=4)
- The deadlock happened because two CPUs called up_cpu_pause() almost simultaneously
- This situation should not happen, because up_cpu_pause() is called in a critical section
- Actually, the latter call was from nxsem_post() in an IRQ handler
- And when enter_critical_section() was called, irq_waitlock() detected a deadlock
- Then it called up_cpu_paused() to break the deadlock
- However, this resulted in setting g_cpu_irqset on the CPU
- Even though another CPU had held a g_cpu_irqlock
- This situation violates the critical section and should be avoided
- To avoid the situation, if a CPU sets g_cpu_irqset after calling up_cpu_paused()
- The CPU must release g_cpu_irqlock first
- Then retry irq_waitlock() to acquire g_cpu_irqlock
Impact:
- Affect SMP
Testing:
- Tested with spresense:wifi_smp (NCPUS=2 and 4)
- Tested with spresense:smp
- Tested with sim:smp
- Tested with sabre-6quad:smp (QEMU)
- Tested with maix-bit:smp (QEMU)
- Tested with esp32-core:smp (QEMU)
- Tested with lc823450-xgevk:rndis

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

* 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
sched/init/nx_bringup.c: Fix a naming collision.
sched/init: Rename os_start() to nx_start()
sched/init: Rename os_smp* to nx_smp*
sched/init: Rename os_bringup to nx_bringup
sched/init: rename all internal static functions to begin with nx_ vs os_
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.
Squashed commit of the following:
Add procfs support to show stopped tasks. Add nxsig_action() to solve a chicken and egg problem: We needed to use sigaction to set default actions, but sigaction() would refuse to set actions if the default actions could not be caught or ignored.
sched/signal: Add configuration option to selectively enabled/disable default signal actions for SIGSTOP/SIGSTP/SIGCONT and SIGKILL/SIGINT. Fix some compilation issues.
sched/sched: Okay.. I figured out a way to handle state changes that may occur while they were stopped. If a task/thread was already blocked when SIGSTOP/SIGSTP was received, it will restart in the running state. I will appear that to the task/thread that the blocked condition was interrupt by a signal and returns the EINTR error.
sched/group and sched/sched: Finish framework for continue/resume logic.
sched/signal: Roughing out basic structure to support task suspend/resume
Squashed commit of the following:
sched: Rename all use of system_t to clock_t.
syscall: Rename all use of system_t to clock_t.
net: Rename all use of system_t to clock_t.
libs: Rename all use of system_t to clock_t.
fs: Rename all use of system_t to clock_t.
drivers: Rename all use of system_t to clock_t.
arch: Rename all use of system_t to clock_t.
include: Remove definition of systime_t; rename all use of system_t to clock_t.

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.

Entropy pool gathers environmental noise from device drivers, user-space, etc., and returns good random numbers, suitable for cryptographic use. Based on entropy pool design from *BSDs and uses BLAKE2Xs algorithm for CSPRNG output.
Patch also adds /dev/urandom support for using entropy pool RNG and new 'getrandom' system call for getting randomness without file-descriptor usage (thus avoiding file-descriptor exhaustion attacks). The 'getrandom' interface is similar as 'getentropy' and 'getrandom' available on OpenBSD and Linux respectively.
Provide a user defined callback context for irq's, such that when
registering a callback users can provide a pointer that will get
passed back when the isr is called.
But certain logic interacts with tasks in different ways. The only one that comes to mind are wdogs. There is a tasking interface that to manipulate wdogs, and a different interface in the timer interrupt handling logic to manage wdog expirations.
In the normal case, this is fine. Since the tasking level code calls enter_critical_section, interrupts are disabled an no conflicts can occur. But that may not be the case in the SMP case. Most architectures do not permit disabling interrupts on other CPUs so enter_critical_section must work differently: Locks are required to protect code.
So this change adds locking (via enter_critical section) to wdog expiration logic for the the case if the SMP configuration.
