reason:
1 To improve efficiency, we mimic Linux's behavior where preemption disabling is only applicable to the current CPU and does not affect other CPUs.
2 In the future, we will implement "spinlock+sched_lock", and use it extensively. Under such circumstances, if preemption is still globally disabled, it will seriously impact the scheduling efficiency.
3 We have removed g_cpu_lockset and used irqcount in order to eliminate the dependency of schedlock on critical sections in the future, simplify the logic, and further enhance the performance of sched_lock.
4 We set lockcount to 1 in order to lock scheduling on all CPUs during startup, without the need to provide additional functions to disable scheduling on other CPUs.
5 Cpu1~n must wait for cpu0 to enter the idle state before enabling scheduling because it prevents CPUs1~n from competing with cpu0 for the memory manager mutex, which could cause the cpu0 idle task to enter a wait state and trigger an assert.

reason:
Currently, if we need to schedule a task to another CPU, we have to completely halt the other CPU,
manipulate the scheduling linked list, and then resume the operation of that CPU. This process is both time-consuming and unnecessary.
During this process, both the current CPU and the target CPU are inevitably subjected to busyloop.
The improved strategy is to simply send a cross-core interrupt to the target CPU.
The current CPU continues to run while the target CPU responds to the interrupt, eliminating the certainty of a busyloop occurring.

1In the scenario of active waiting, context switching is inevitable, and we can eliminate redundant judgments.

Two things need to be done when vfork'ing:
- Must attach to parent's address environment (the addrenv is shared)
- Must allocate a kernel stack (where would the register context go otherwise)
Note that this code assumes the address environment is shared, since we
don't support fork() which would _clone_ the address environment instead.
Kthreads can share the group data so that to reduce overheads.
This implements shared kthread group via:
- use `tcb_s` instead of `task_tcb_s` for kthreads
- use `g_kthread_group` when creating kthreads
- use stackargs to start tasks and kthreads

we can use g_cpu_lockset to determine whether we are currently in the scheduling lock,
and all accesses and modifications to g_cpu_lockset, g_cpu_irqlock, g_cpu_irqset
are in the critical section, so we can directly operate on it.

We can use qemu for testing.

PR #11165 causes an unnecessary regression; task_delete no longer works,
if the deleted task is from another group.
The logic that prevents this comes from:
nxnotify_cancellation() ->
tls_get_info_pid() ->
nxsched_get_stackinfo()
Which checks for permissions, which does not make sense in this case since
it is the kernel asking for the stack information.
Fix this by partially reverting 11165 and implementing a direct path for
the kernel to query for any tasks TLS.
The task files should consult the "spawn action" and "O_CLOEXEC flags"
to determine further whether the file should be duplicated.
This PR will further optimize file list duplicating to avoid the performance
regression caused by additional file operations.

This moves task / thread cancel point logic from the NuttX kernel into
libc, while the data needed by the cancel point logic is moved to TLS.
The change is an enabler to move user-space APIs to libc as well, for
a coherent user/kernel separation.
Set the newly spawned process's signal mask, if the caller has instructed
to do so by setting POSIX_SPAWN_SETSIGMASK.
This is called after the task has been created but has NOT been started
yet.
Like the name implies, it is supposed to set the spawn attributes for
the NuttX specific "spawn proxy task" which was historically used as
a proxy to spawn new tasks. The proxy handled file actions and the signal
mask which are inherited from the parent.
The proxy task does not exist anymore, thus the proxy task attributes
do not need to be set anymore either.
Also, the function is currently still used, but the signal mask is set
for the spawning process, not the proxy process, and this is most
DEFINITELY an error (as the spawning process's signal mask changes
unexpectedly).
Setting the signal mask for the newly spawned process is simple, just
set it directly, if instructed to do so. This will be done in a later
patch!

If the FD_CLOEXEC bit is set, the file descriptor will automatically
be closed during a successful execve(2).
(If the execve(2) fails, the file descriptor is left open.)
modify:
1. Ensure that the child task copies all fds of the parent task,
including those with O_CLOEXE.
2. Make sure spawn_file_action is executed under fd with O_CLOEXEC,
otherwise it will fail.
3. When a new task is activated or exec is called, close all fds
with O_CLOEXEC flags.

Handle task spawn attributes as task spawn file actions are handled.
Why? This removes the need for sched_lock() when the task is being
spawned. When loading the new task from a file the scheduler can be
locked for a VERY LONG time, in the order of hundreds of milliseconds!
This is unacceptable for real time operation.
Also fixes a latent bug in exec_module, spawn_file_actions is executed
at a bad location; when CONFIG_ARCH_ADDRENV=y actions will point to the
new process's address environment (as it is temporarily instantiated at
that point). Fix this by moving it to after addrenv_restore.
The nxspawn_dup2 function will return a value greater than 0,
so the loop should only exit if ret is less than 0.

cmake -B build -DBOARD_CONFIG=lm3s6965-ek/qemu-flat -GNinja
(or full path in custom board) :
cmake -B build -DBOARD_CONFIG=$PWD/boards/sim/sim/sim/configs/nsh -GNinja
This uses ninja generator (install with sudo apt install ninja-build). To build:
$ cmake --build build
menuconfig:
$ cmake --build build -t menuconfig
--------------------------
2. cmake/build: reformat the cmake style by cmake-format

$ pip install cmakelang
$ for i in `find -name CMakeLists.txt`;do cmake-format $i -o $i;done
