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.
Squashed commit of the following:
Correct some additional compile-related issues.
Move include/nuttx/binfmt/builtin.h to include/nuttx/lib/builtin.h. Move apps/builtin/lib_builtin_forindex.c to libs/libc/builtin/lib_builtin_forindex.c.
Move binfmt/libbuiltin to libs/libc/builtin. There are calls made directly from apps/nshlib into this logic and hence, must be part of a library that can be shared between the OS and applications.
Provided changes add option (CONFIG_EXECFUNCS_GENERATE_SYSTEM_SYMTAB) to build complete list of available functions and syscalls automatically. The symbolic table is generated in form libsymtab.a which can be reused by application or directly pull in when "g_symtab" and "g_nsymbols" variables are requested by EXECFUNCS configuration.
I have tried to follow mechanisms for library compilation in different kernel protection modes but tested only flat no-MMU build. The basic assumption is that this library and libraries providing syscall stubs and C-library functions are available in user-space context and initial application (usually NSH) registers the symbol table through IOCTL. The table can be reused then by another applications in their address space as kernel allows. Simple for flat or protected mode, I am not sure if really support in MMU mode. It is highly probable that I have made some mistake, overlooked something, but functionality is optional (should not cause troubles in any mode if disabled) and main purpose is to lower memory overhead when more applications are loaded on memory constrained system which usually use direct kernel calling without protection or address space separation. If the table should be provided by kernel to applications then makefiles has to be adjusted.
The legacy '/' delimiter is still supported but not recommend and not advertised.
Squashed commit of the following:
Update configurations instructions in more README.txt files to show ':' delimiter vs '/' delimiter.
Update configurations instructions in various README.txt file to show ':' delimiter vs '/' delimiter.
tools: Update all configuration-related tools to accept ':' separator between board and configuration name.
Squashed commit of the following:
Last minute clean-up
libs/libc/grp/lib_find_grpfile.c: Fix some problems found in testing.
libs/libc/pwd: Finishes off implementation using /etc/passwd.
libs/libc/grp: Finishes off implementation using /etc/group.
libs/libc/pwd/lib_find_pwdfile.c: Add logic to look up user information in /etc/passwd file, if available.
libs/libc/grp/lib_find_grpfile.c: Add logic to look up group information in /etc/group file, if available.
Added stubbed implementations of getpwuid, getpwuid_r, getpwnam, and
getpwnam_r. These functions are essentially stubs pretending that NuttX
supported users and that the only configured user in the system was 'root'
with uid 0. The intend is not to provide meaningful new features, but to ease
porting of foreign source code to NuttX.
- Added an alphasort implementation
- Added a scandir implementation
- Added DT_* literals to include/dirent.h: Apparently those are not required by POSIX, but are part of 4.3BSD and available in glibc as well.
libs/libc/misc/Make.defs: For platforms whose CPP tool does not support a variable number arguments to pre-processor macros, we may still need to build the debug functions even when CONFIG_DEBUG_FEATURES is not selected. For example, __alert() may be needed is CONFIG_ARCH_STACKDUMP is set.
configs/makerlisp: Add an sdboot configuration that will load .hex files from the SD card.
Squashed commit of the following:
configs/makerlisp: Update comments about use of serial console.
configs/makerlisp: Add LED support, remove vestiges of button support (the board has no user buttons). Add support for SPI-based MMC/SD card slot.
arch/z80/src/ez80: Fix some link problems.
libs/libc/syslog/lib_syslog.c: The ZDS-II toolchain does not declare va_coy in stdarg.h. I think that the use of va_copy in vsyslog() is no necessary.
configs/makerlisp: Initial configuration directories cloned from ez80f910200zco with little more than naming changes.

Add three patches about STM32 intherupts and network loopback files

* The function lib_lo_ipv6match() is for IPv6.
Correct the function it calls from lib_lo_ipv4matchto() to lib_lo_ipv6match().
Also add CONFIG_NET_IPv6 for configuration.

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.
Fixed coding standard error in several files. Use of while( is incorrect; a space is required between while and (. Also ran tools/nxstyle and fix thoses complaints as well in most files.
Changes to comply with coding standard. Mostly focused on files with missing space after keyword in if(, switch(, and for(. Offending files also got changes to comply with tools nxstyle. If there were logs of nxstyle complaints, the file also got a taste of tools/indent.sh. Still need to fix occurrences of while( with missing space. There are a lot of them.
- Numbered arguments now work by using two pass parsing and an argument list.
The maximum number of numbered args is determined by CONFIG_LIBC_NL_ARGMAX
which is then copied into NL_ARGMAX.
- Size of pointer argument ('p') is determined before output.
include/limits.h: Define NL_ARGMAX (as well as some of the other 'invariant
values' per http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/7908799/xsh/limits.h.html)
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()
