Provide partial RTOS API for bare metal builds - things that
can be done in a single threaded environment.
Allows more code to work in both RTOS and bare metal builds without
change, and in particular gives easy access to the ability to
efficiently wait for something occurring in interrupt.
Available in bare-metal:
* ThisThread
* osThreadFlagsSet to set flags on main thread (can be set from IRQ)
* EventFlags (can be set from IRQ)
* Semaphores (can be released from IRQ)
* Mutex (dummy implementation)
Not useful:
* ConditionVariable (could only be signalled from 2nd thread)
* RtosTimer (calls in a second thread context)
* Thread
Unimplemented:
* Mail, Queue, MemoryPool
Possible future work:
* ConditionVariableCS to act as IRQ signalled ConditionVariable
Replace the hardcoded value calculation of the memory pool block size
with the RTX preprocessor macro (via a shim layer).
This is in preparation for the replacement of the direct access of RTX
functionalities in Mbed OS with an access via CMSIS.
In rtos/mbed_lib.json:
Enlarge idle-thread-stack-size-debug-extra for all Nuvoton targets.
In rtos/TARGET_CORTEX/mbed_rtx_conf.h:
MBED_DEBUG also must be defined for this configuration parameter to take effect.
As the timer code became more generic, coping with initialization on
demand, and variable width and speed us_ticker_api implementations,
wait_us has gradually gotten slower and slower.
Some platforms have reportedly seen overhead of wait_us() increase from
10µs to 30µs. These changes should fully reverse that drop, and even
make it better than ever.
Add fast paths for platforms that provide compile-time information about
us_ticker. Speed and code size is improved further if:
* Timer has >= 2^32 microsecond range, or better still is 32-bit 1MHz.
* Platform implements us_ticker_read() as a macro
* Timer is initialised at boot, rather than first use
The latter initialisation option is the default for STM, as this has
always been the case.
Building binaries with MicroLib and Arm compiler 6 has been failing
because of a bug in Arm compiler 6. The compiler introduces a
symbol, `__scanf_mbtowc`, which is not present in MicroLib C library.
The present commit adds a weak reference to the symbol to allow a
successful linkage. This is a temporary fix until the bug in the
compiler is fixed. It should be removed after the compiler bug is fixed.
Deprecate wait() in favour of acquire(), try_acquire(),
try_acquire_for() and try_acquire_until().
Brings Semaphore more into line with CMSIS-RTOS 2 (which uses "acquire"),
itself (as it has "release"), and other classes having "try", "try for"
and "try until".
Also steps away from vague "wait" term - the primary operation here is
to acquire the semaphore, and this will of course sleep.
Once a fatal error is in progress, it's not useful to trap RTX errors
or mutex problems, so short-circuit the checks.
This makes it more likely that we may be able to get the console
initialised if it is being written to for the first time by `mbed_error`
in a difficult context - such as an RTX error callback from inside an
SVCall.
For example, the one-line program
osMutexAcquire(NULL, 0);
will generate an RTX error trap, then `mbed_error` will try to call
`write(STDERR_FILENO)` to print the error, which will prompt mbed_retarget to
construct a singleton `UARTSerial`. This would trap in the mutex
for the singleton or the construction of the UARTSerial itself, if
we didn't allow this leniency. If we clear the mutex checks, then
`UARTSerial::write_unbuffered` will work.
CMSIS repo does not support pre-processor defines, hence multiple assembly
files are added for secure/non-secure and floating point tools.
Mbed OS tools support assembly file pre-processing, but the build system
does not support multiple assembly files for each target, hence updating
the assembly files.
1. Patch RTX so irq_cm4f.S files work with no FPU targets
2. Patch RTX so irq_armv8mml.S files to work with and without FPU
2. Patch RTX so irq_armv8mml.S and irq_armv8mbl.S files to work with secure and
non-secure builds

In case of ARM compiler, idle and timer thread stack though assigned
to `.bss.os` section since not zero initialized are part of `data` section.
In this commit, we are moving stacks of idle and timer thread to bss
section and thereby saving ROM space.
(cherry picked from commit ba92372b8d)
mbed OS used older RTX4 version and with osThreadDef accepting only 3
parameters, to preserve compatibility we hardcode the 'instances'
parameter to 1.

For single-threaded apps __iar_Initlocks() is not required and must
not be called because the proper IAR library is brought in only if
"--threaded_lib" is defined in the linker command.
Instead of user defined symbols in assembly files or C files,
use linker scripts to add heap and stack - this is inconsistent
with ARM std linker scripts
