This is one way we can support out of tree board definitions. Basically
all this needs is a board definition in the application source directory
that follows the same structure we have in the main Zephyr tree (also
allowing multiple custom boards). An application tree would look like
this for example:
boards/
CMakeLists.txt
prj.conf
README.rst
src/
with boards following the same structure as in Zephyr:
.
├── boards
│ └── x86
│ └── arduino_101
│ ├── doc
│ │ └── img
│ └── support
└── src
To use this, you need to specify the BOARD_ROOT variable on the command
line when building:
cmake -DBOARD=<board name> -DBOARD_ROOT=<path to boards> ..

Run Kconfig on every reconfigure but with different fragments
depending on the situation.
When .config is missing or when a file from merge_config_file has been
modified use the merge_config_file's as input, otherwise use .config
as input.
This should match the behaviour before kconfiglib.py was introduced
and fixes#5673.

When Kconfiglib was introduced it caused a significant performance
issue. This patch uses pruning to mitigate the performance issue.
The pruning exploits the fact that before the Kconfig database is
parsed we already know what ARCH and BOARD has been selected. So in
theory we could prune away all Kconfig sources that are not related to
the current ARCH or BOARD. In practice, it is only the Kconfig sources
in zephyr/arch/$ARCH and zephyr/board/$ARCH/ that are easy to prune.
Still, that is quite a few Kconfig sources. For qemu_x86 this patch
reduced the number of parsed Kconfig source files from 632 to
272. This pruning resulted in a incremental reconfiguration (time
cmake ..) speedup of 21% (0.56s to 0.46) and a clean build speedup of
4% (Using board qemu_x86 and sample hello_world).
Furthermore, it should be easier to maintain ARCH's and BOARD's
out-of-tree since the user now has a mechanism to redirect where
Kconfig sources are found. But this has not been explored.

Kconfiglib does not support merging fragments without parsing the
entire Kconfig "database". For Zephyr this means we no longer get a
performance gain from splitting up the fragment-merging and the
.config generation.
This patch removes the seperated merge step and it's associated
caching mechanism. Now we do a full Kconfig execution on every
reconfiguration.

We have been using a fork of the Linux kernel's Kconfig system to
configure the Zephyr tree. The issue is that this is a native tool
written in C that is not easy to compile for Windows. This patch
replaces the use of the conf executable with kconfig.py, a script that
uses Kconfiglib to generate the .config and autoconf.h files required to
compile Zephyr.

Depending on a path inside the Zephyr tree to determine if we are a test
does not scale. Also some samples were marked as TEST while they are
not, just to get some options defined for tests.
Idenitfying a test will be addressed in another patch introducing
CONFIG_TEST.

This fixes https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr/issues/5186
The script that generates syscall_macros.h is moved from Configuration
time to build time. This allows us to express to the build system that
syscall_macros.h depends on the script that generates it.

Introducing CMake is an important step in a larger effort to make
Zephyr easy to use for application developers working on different
platforms with different development environment needs.
Simplified, this change retains Kconfig as-is, and replaces all
Makefiles with CMakeLists.txt. The DSL-like Make language that KBuild
offers is replaced by a set of CMake extentions. These extentions have
either provided simple one-to-one translations of KBuild features or
introduced new concepts that replace KBuild concepts.
This is a breaking change for existing test infrastructure and build
scripts that are maintained out-of-tree. But for FW itself, no porting
should be necessary.
For users that just want to continue their work with minimal
disruption the following should suffice:
Install CMake 3.8.2+
Port any out-of-tree Makefiles to CMake.
Learn the absolute minimum about the new command line interface:
$ cd samples/hello_world
$ mkdir build && cd build
$ cmake -DBOARD=nrf52_pca10040 ..
$ cd build
$ make
