sched/wqueue/kwork_notifier.c: Redesign some data structures. struct works_s must appear at the beginning of the notifier entry structure. That is because it contains the work queue indices. This solves a harfault issue.
net/tcp/tcp_netpoll.c: tcp_iob_work() needs to free the allocated argument when it is finished.
net/tcp/tcp_send_buffered.c: Extend psock_tcp_cansend() so that it also requires that at least on IOB is also avaialble.
mm/iob: iob_navail() was returning the number of free IOB chain queue entries, not the number of free IOBs. Completely misnamed.
net/tcp/tcp_netpoll.c: Add logic to receive notifications when IOBs are freed (Needs CONFIG_NET_TCP_WRITE_BUFFERS and CONFIG_IOB_NOTIFIER). At present, does nothing because the logic in in psock_tcp_cansend() does not check for the availability of IOBs. That will change.
Squashed commit of the following:
Fix up some final compile isses.
net/netdev: Convert the network down notification logic to use the new wqueue-based notification factility.
net/udp: Convert the UDP readahead notification logic to use the new wqueue-based notification factility.
net/tcp: Convert the TCP readahead notification logic to use the new wqueue-based notification factility.
mm/iob: Convert the IOB notification logic to use the new wqueue-based notification factility.
sched/wqueue: Signals are not good IPCs to support the target poll functionality for several reasons including the amount of data that can be passed with a signal and in the fact that in protected and kernel modes, user threads executing signal handlers in protected, kernel memory is problematic. Instead, convert the same logic to perform the notifications via function callback on the high priority work queue.
sched/wqueue: Modify high priority work queue to support multiple threads.
sched/wqueue and libs/libc/wqueue: workqueues don't need set global data to zero since .bss is cleared automatically. Removing this unnecessary initialization also avoids the loss the work items queued before initialization.

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.
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.
binfmt/, configs/, grahics/, libc/, mm/, net/, sched/: OS references to the errno variable should always use the set_errno(), get_errno() macros
arch/arm/src/stm32 and stm32f7: Architecture-specific code is not permitted to modify the errno variable. drivers/ and libc/: OS references to the errno variable should always use the set_errno(), get_errno() macros
sched/sched: Correct some build issues introduced by last set of changes.
sched/sched: Add new internal OS function nxsched_setaffinity() that is identical to sched_isetaffinity() except that it does not modify the errno value. All usage of sched_setaffinity() within the OS is replaced with nxsched_setaffinity().
sched/sched: Internal functions sched_reprioritize() and sched_setpriority() no longer movidify the errno value. Also renamed to nxsched_reprioritize() and sched_setpriority().
sched/sched: Add new internal OS function nxsched_getscheduler() that is identical to sched_getscheduler() except that it does not modify the errno value. All usage of sched_getscheduler() within the OS is replaced with nxsched_getscheduler().
sched/sched: Add new internal OS function nxsched_setparam() that is identical to sched_setparam() except that it does not modify the errno value. All usage of sched_setparam() within the OS is replaced with nxsched_setparam().
sched/sched: Add new internal OS function nxsched_getparam() that is identical to sched_getparam() except that it does not modify the errno value (actually, the previous value erroneously neglected to set the errno value to begin with, but this fixes both issues). All usage of sched_getparam() within the OS is replaced with nxsched_getparam().
Replace all usage kill() in the OS proper with nxsig_kill().
sched/signal: Add nxsig_kill() which is functionally equivalent to kill() except that it does not modify the errno variable.
Squashed commit of the following:
Change all calls to usleep() in the OS proper to calls to nxsig_usleep()
sched/signal: Add a new OS internal function nxsig_usleep() that is functionally equivalent to usleep() but does not cause a cancellaption point and does not modify the errno variable.
sched/signal: Add a new OS internal function nxsig_sleep() that is functionally equivalent to sleep() but does not cause a cancellaption point.
sigtimedwait() -> nxsig_timedwait()
sigwaitinfo() -> nxsig_waitinfo()
nanosleep() -> nxsig_nanosleep()
The internal OS versions differ from the standard application interfaces in that:
- They do not create cancellation points, and
- they do not modify the application's errno variable
Squashed commit of the following:
sched/signal: Replace all usage of sigwaitinfo(), sigtimedwait(), and nanosleep() with the OS internal counterparts nxsig_waitinfo(), nxsig_timedwait(), and nxsig_nanosleep().
sched/signal: Add nxsig_nanosleep(). This is an internal OS version of nanosleep(). It differs in that it does not set the errno varaiable and does not create a cancellation point.
sched/signal: Add nxsig_timedwait() and nxsig_waitinfo(). These are internal OS versions of sigtimedwait() and sigwaitinfo(). They differ in that they do not set the errno varaiable and they do not create cancellation points.
