sched/mqueue/mq_notify.c: Fix - only part of struct copied to internal structure
As source adress the adress of the struct member sigev_value was used,
and it is not located the start of the struct.
This leads to invalid data being copied to internal structure.
Both source and destination should be of type struct sigevent* .

binfmt/, libs/libc/unistd, and others: Rename CONFIG_EXECFUNCS_SYMTAB to CONFIG_EXECFUNCS_SYMTAB_ARRAY. Rename CONFIG_EXECFUNCS_NSYMBOLS to CONFIG_EXECFUNCS_NSYMBOLS_VAR. Unlike CONFIG_EXECFUNCS_NSYMBOLS, CONFIG_EXECFUNCS_NSYMBOLS_VAR holds the name of an 'int' variable that contains the number of symbols in the symbol table.
configs/sama5d4-ek: Partial update to knsh build instructions.
sched/clock: Move the implementation of clock() from libs/libc/time to sched/clock. This is necessary because it calls the (now) internal OS function clock_systimer. clock() is now accessed only via a system call in certain configuratins.
libs/libc/wqueue: Replace calls to clock_systimer() with calls to the equivalent clock().
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.
The time slice check will decrement the currently running task's time slice allotment. If such a context switch occurs, then the newly started task will lost one could of that allotment before it even has a chance to run.
Change all Sony related copyright to conform with our company's internal rules.

Fix SMP related bugs
* sched/sched: Fix a deadlock in SMP mode
Two months ago, I introduced sched_tasklist_lock() and
sched_tasklist_unlock() to protect tasklists in SMP mode.
Actually, this change works pretty well for HTTP audio
streaming aging test with lc823450-xgevk.
However, I found a deadlock in the scheduler when I tried
similar aging tests with DVFS autonomous mode where CPU
clock speed changed based on cpu load. In this case, call
sequences were as follows;
cpu1: sched_unlock()->sched_mergepending()->sched_addreadytorun()->up_cpu_pause()
cpu0: sched_lock()->sched_mergepending()
To avoid this deadlock, I added sched_tasklist_unlock() when calling
up_cpu_pause() and sched_addreadytorun(). Also, added
sched_tasklist_lock() after the call.

critical section API must be used.

lc823450 smp test
* sched/clock: Replace critical section APIs with spin lock APIs in clock_gettime.c
This change will improve performance for SMP systems but nothing
changes for non-SMP systems. (Pls see include/nuttx/irq.h)

* sched/sched: Remove unnecessary DEBUGASSERT in sched_removereadytorun.c
In SMP mode, rtrtcb is not always at the g_readytorun.head.
This change removes DEBUGASSERT() to avoid this condition.

Fix signal handing for smp
* sched/signal: Remove SMP related logic in sig_dispatch.c
This change prevents from a deadlock in up_schedulesigaction.c
where inter-CPU signal handling is actually implemented.

* arch/arm/src/armv7-m: Fix signal handling for SMP
In previous implementation, signal handling for SMP was incorrect.
Thus, for example, if an inter-CPU signal happened an incorret tcb
was signaled and caused ASSERT().
This change fixes the issues and works for both inter-CPU signal
handling and signal handling on the same CPU.

sched/: Convert legitimate uses of task_create() to nxtask_create(). Review handling of returned values from all uses of kthread_create() (as well as nxtask_create()).
graphics/: Review return values for all calls to kthread_start() because it no longer returns an errno.
drivers/: threads started by drivers should be kernel threads, not user tasks. Review return values for all calls to kthread_start() because it no longer returns an errno.
configs/: threads started by board bringup logic should be kernel threads, not user tasksi (part 2 of 2).
sched/task: Add nxtask_create(). Kthread_create() and nxtask_create() are internal OS functions and should not modify the errno variable. configs/: threads started by board bringup logic should be kernel threads, not user tasks.
The previous implementation of clearing global IRQ in sched_addreadytorun()
and sched_removereadytorun() was done too early. As a result, nxsem_post()
would have a chance to enter the critical section even nxsem_wait() is
still not in blocked state. This patch moves clearing global IRQ controls
from sched_addreadytorun() and sched_removereadytorun() to sched_resumescheduler()
to ensure that nxsem_post() can enter the critical section correctly.
For this change, sched_resumescheduler.c is always necessary for SMP configuration.
In addition, by this change, task_exit() had to be modified so that it calls
sched_resumescheduler() because it calls sched_removescheduler() inside the
function, otherwise it will cause a deadlock.
However, I encountered another DEBUGASSERT() in sched_cpu_select() during
HTTP streaming aging test on lc823450-xgevk. Actually sched_cpu_select()
accesses the g_assignedtasks which might be changed by another CPU. Similarly,
other tasklists might be modified simultaneously if both CPUs are executing
scheduling logic. To avoid this, I introduced tasklist protetion APIs.
With these changes, SMP kernel stability has been much improved.
