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
see pull/12320 for test logs.

1. add support to join main task
| static pthread_t self;
|
| static void *join_task(void *arg)
| {
| int ret;
| ret = pthread_join(self, NULL); <--- /* Fix Task could not be joined */
| return NULL;
| }
|
| int main(int argc, char *argv[])
| {
| pthread_t thread;
|
| self = pthread_self();
|
| pthread_create(&thread, NULL, join_task, NULL);
| sleep(1);
|
| pthread_exit(NULL);
| return 0;
| }
2. Detach active thread will not alloc for additional join, just update the task flag.
3. Remove the return value waiting lock logic (data_sem),
the return value will be stored in the waiting tcb.
4. Revise the return value of pthread_join(), consistent with linux
e.g:
Joining a detached and canceled thread should return EINVAL, not ESRCH
https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/pthread_join.html
[EINVAL]
The value specified by thread does not refer to a joinable thread.
NOTE:
This PR will not increase stack usage, but struct tcb_s will increase 32 bytes.

The delete flag is not synchronized with the life cycle of the group,
if the flag set before waitpid(), the tcb will be mistakenly deleted
by group_del_waiter(), use-after-free will happen.

to determine further whether the file should be duplicated.

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.
reproduce:
static void *pthread(void *arg)
{
system(arg);
}
void test (int argc, char *argv[])
{
pthread_create(&pthread0, &attr, pthread, argv[1]);
pthread_create(&pthread1, &attr, pthread, argv[2]);
}
only one pthread system() returnd, othres hanged
rootcause:
As we known, system() will create a new task called:
system -c XX
The example:
parent group child groups
pthread0 -> waitpid() -> system -c ps -> exit() -> nxtask_signalparent()
pthread1 -> waitpid() -> system -c ls -> exit() -> nxtask_signalparent()
Each child group exit with function nxtask_signalparent(),
As we expect:
system -c ps will signal pthread0
system -c ls will signal pthread1
But actually:
system -c ps will signal pthread0/1
system -c ls will signal pthread0/1
As the spec, we know, this behavior is normal:
https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/sigwaitinfo.2.html
So for this situation, when the signo is SIGCHLD, we broadcast.

1. Update all CMakeLists.txt to adapt to new layout
2. Fix cmake build break
3. Update all new file license
4. Fully compatible with current compilation environment(use configure.sh or cmake as you choose)
------------------
How to test
From within nuttx/. Configure:
cmake -B build -DBOARD_CONFIG=sim/nsh -GNinja
cmake -B build -DBOARD_CONFIG=sim:nsh -GNinja
cmake -B build -DBOARD_CONFIG=sabre-6quad/smp -GNinja
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
https://github.com/cheshirekow/cmake_format
$ pip install cmakelang
$ for i in `find -name CMakeLists.txt`;do cmake-format $i -o $i;done
$ for i in `find -name *\.cmake`;do cmake-format $i -o $i;done

Store the old environment in a local context so another temporary address
environment can be selected. This can happen especially when a process
is being loaded (the new process's mappings are temporarily instantiated)
and and interrupt occurs.
- Remove the temporary "saved" variable when temporarily changing MMU
mappings to access another process's memory. The fact that it has an
address environment is enough to make the choice
- Restore nxflat_addrenv_restore-macro. It was accidentally lost when
the address environment handling was re-factored.
Do not allow a deferred cancellation if the group is exiting, it is too
dangerous to allow the threads to execute any user space code after the
exit has started.
If the cancelled thread is not inside a cancellation point, just kill it
immediately via asynchronous cancellation. This will create far less
problems than allowing it to continue running user code.
Detach the address environment handling from the group structure to the
tcb. This is preparation to fix rare cases where the system (MMU) is left
without a valid page directory, e.g. when a process exits.
Implement a function for dropping references to the group structure and
finally freeing the allocated memory, if the group has been marked for
destruction
This is just unnecessary, a process cannot be destroyed by another
process in any case, every time this is executed the active address
environment is the process getting destroyed.
Even in the hypothetical case this was possible, the system would
crash at once if a context switch happens between "select()" and
"restore()", which is possible as the granule allocator is protected by
a semaphore (which is a synchronization point).
- Also remove the nuttx private shm.h file nuttx/mm/shm.h, which became redundant
- Also remove the gran allocator initialization/release in binfmt since common
vpage allocator is initialized in group_create/group_leave

tg_info is still in use after task_uninit_info(), unifies
lib_stream_* with life cycle of task info to avoid this issue.

The task_group specific list can be used to store information about
mmappings.
For a driver or filesystem performing mmap can also enable munmap by
adding an item to this list using mm_map_add(). The item is then

- I noticed that nxplayer (HTTP audio streaming) + command execution
via telnet sometimes causes memory corruption.
See https://github.com/apache/nuttx/pull/7947 for the detail.

lib_stream_release() in group_leave.c
Impact:
- Should be none

This is preparation for flushing streams from user space, like it should
be done.
- Move tg_streamlist (group, kernel space) ->
ta_streamlist (TLS, user space)
- Access stream list via tg_info in kernel
- Access stream list via TLS in user space
- Remove / rename nxsched_get_streams -> lib_getstreams
- Remove system call for nxsched_get_streams
It takes about 10 cycles to obtain the task list according to the task
status. In most cases, we know the task status, so we can directly
delete the task from the specified task list to reduce time consuming.
