Some Cortex-M0 devices, such as the nrf51, don't have the SysTick.
Instead, these targets use a software interrupt to simulate SysTick.
Add the hooks in the tickless code to support these devices. Targets
which do not have SysTick should now define NO_SYSTICK in targets.json
and implement mbed_get_m0_tick_irqn to add os suport.
This patch also removes os tick handling from the existing devices
(nrf51) since this is now handled in common code.
Add support for tickless by replacing RTX's SysTick timer code with
with code which uses an mbed timer along with suspending and
resuming the kernel in the idle loop. Tickless is enabled on a
per-target basis by defining the macro MBED_TICKLESS.
Make calls to cmsis-os to get thread state, stack size, and max stack
usage rather than accessing internal RTX data directly. Wrap RTX5
specific code in OS_BACKEND_RTX5.
Also refactor the code to use mbed types rather than RTX types:
os_timer_t -> mbed_rtos_storage_timer_t
os_event_flags_t -> mbed_rtos_storage_event_flags_t
osRtxMutex_t -> mbed_rtos_storage_thread_t
Update directory structure to include RTX for only cortex targets, and
for all cortex targets. This patch accomplishes this by moving mbed-os
specific RTX files and RTX itself into rtos/TARGET_CORTEX along with
removing TARGET_CORTEX_M from the RTX5 directory.
The old directory structure:
rtos/rtx5/<mbed-os specific RTX files>
rtos/rtx5/TARGET_CORTEX_M/*
rtos/rtx4/*
rtos/<mbed-os specific RTX files>
Is re-arranged to:
rtos/TARGET_CORTEX/rtx5/*
rtos/TARGET_CORTEX/rtx4/*
rtos/TARGET_CORTEX/<mbed-os specific rtx files>
This both encapsulates RTX code more cleanly and makes it easier to
experiment with non-cortex cmsis-os2 backends, such as a posix
based cmsis-os2 backend.
Note - A potentially better name for the CORTEX_M directory would be
something like FEATURE_RTX5 since this directory only contains RTX5
related files. This cannot be done because there is not an easy way
to turn this feature on, since it cannot be done from mbed_lib.json.
Provide fix for pool buffer size: pool block size must be
a multiple of 4 bytes.
Add assertion to forbid creation of MemoryPool object with queue size equal to 0.
Update description of free() function. Add information about
statuses returned by this function.
The prev-pointer of the running threads mutex list was not set when
multiple mutexes are acquired at a time. This leads to a corrupted list
if the mutexes are not freed in reversed order.

Before rtx 5, the max count on semaphores was UINT16_MAX, aftewards it
was decreased to 1024 with an assert on overflow.
This is especially problematic for semaphores used for signaling, since
there is no replacement currently available in C++.
The stack required for the idle thread is highly dependent on the
target because it will call the sleep function which is target
specific.
While 256 bytes of stack is enough for most targets, others like the
NRF52840 might require more.
With this change, target maintainers can specify the idle thread stack
size in their mbed_rtx.h file.
uVisor doesn't set the PSP of the target thread. The RTOS sets the PSP
of the target thread from the target thread's TCB. However, when
interrupts of higher priority than PendSV happen between the call to
uVisor to switch boxes, and the RTOS setting PSP, the uVisor vIRQ
interrupt handler will attempt to use an invalid PSP (the PSP from
before the box and thread switch). This leads to a crash. Make box and
thread switching atomic by disabling interrupts immediately before the
box switching until immediately after the new PSP is set.
