If GDBSTUB is enabled and the kernel runs in tickless mode, the timer
must not convert the delta cycles to a 32-bit data type (cycle_diff_t in
this case). The delta_ticks variable would overflow and the next timeout
would be set before the current timestamp, thus generating an interrupt
right after leaving the handler. As a result, the system would receive
tens of thousands of interrupts per second and would not boot.

Timer "drivers" do not use the device model infrastructure, they are
singletons with a SYS_INIT call. This means they do not have to include
device.h but init.h. Things worked because device.h includes init.h.
Signed-off-by: Gerard Marull-Paretas <gerard@teslabs.com>
The init infrastructure, found in `init.h`, is currently used by:
- `SYS_INIT`: to call functions before `main`
- `DEVICE_*`: to initialize devices
They are all sorted according to an initialization level + a priority.
`SYS_INIT` calls are really orthogonal to devices, however, the required
function signature requires a `const struct device *dev` as a first
argument. The only reason for that is because the same init machinery is
used by devices, so we have something like:
```c
struct init_entry {
int (*init)(const struct device *dev);
/* only set by DEVICE_*, otherwise NULL */
const struct device *dev;
}
```
As a result, we end up with such weird/ugly pattern:
```c
static int my_init(const struct device *dev)
{
/* always NULL! add ARG_UNUSED to avoid compiler warning */
ARG_UNUSED(dev);
...
}
```
This is really a result of poor internals isolation. This patch proposes
a to make init entries more flexible so that they can accept sytem
initialization calls like this:
```c
static int my_init(void)
{
...
}
```
This is achieved using a union:
```c
union init_function {
/* for SYS_INIT, used when init_entry.dev == NULL */
int (*sys)(void);
/* for DEVICE*, used when init_entry.dev != NULL */
int (*dev)(const struct device *dev);
};
struct init_entry {
/* stores init function (either for SYS_INIT or DEVICE*)
union init_function init_fn;
/* stores device pointer for DEVICE*, NULL for SYS_INIT. Allows
* to know which union entry to call.
*/
const struct device *dev;
}
```
This solution **does not increase ROM usage**, and allows to offer clean
public APIs for both SYS_INIT and DEVICE*. Note that however, init
machinery keeps a coupling with devices.
**NOTE**: This is a breaking change! All `SYS_INIT` functions will need
to be converted to the new signature. See the script offered in the
following commit.

Couple issues:
- `sys_clock_set_timeout()` should not base its `mtime` on the current
time either. Tracking the `last_tick` and `last_elapsed` values avoids
the need for all the tick rounding computation.
- The MIN_DELAY thing is pointless. The hardware performs a signed
comparison. If the delay gets close or even behind current time then
the IRQ will be triggered right away. This is unlikely to happen very
often anyway so the constant overhead is uncalled for.
- Runtime 64-bits divisions on 32-bits hardware are very expensive.
- The timer must be enabled before the count can return a sensible
value during driver init (at least on qemu_cortex_a9).
Discussion in PR #54919 applies here too.

Fast hardware with slow timer hardware can trigger and enter an
interrupt and reach 'sys_clock_set_timeout' before the counter has
advanced.
That defeats the "round up" logic such that we end up scheduling
timeouts a tick too soon (e.g. if the kernel requests an interrupt
at the "X" tick, we would end up computing a comparator value
representing the "X-1" tick!).
Choose the bigger one between 1 and "curr_cycle - last_cycle" to
correct.

The weak symbol sys_clock_driver_init has been removed, therefore moving

Modification of the ARM architected timer driver and its configuration
data in order to address an erratum which exists at least in the Cor-
tex-A9 CPU, and which can also be observed in the QEMU implementation
of the Cortex-A9.
Comp.: ARM Cortex-A9 processors Software Developer Errata Notice
ARM document ID032315
Erratum 740657
This erratum causes a spurious interrupt pending indication with the
interrupt controller if no new compare value is written within the
timer ISR before the interrupt is cleared. This is usually the case
in tickless mode. If the spurious interrupt is not prevented, the
timer ISR will be called twice, but on second execution, the pending
flag is not set within the timer's register space. Not handling this
issue will lead to erratic tick announcements to the kernel.

K_FOREVER/INT_MAX number of ticks needs delay cycles value of
maximum order and exceeds 'int32' range.
The typecast to 'int32' results in wrongly evaluating the value
as less than 'MIN_DELAY' and chooses 'MIN_DELAY' over the actual
delay cycles.
Cap the 'MAX_TICKS' to INT32_MAX.

Add a k_timeout_t type, and use it everywhere that kernel API
functions were accepting a millisecond timeout argument. Instead of
forcing milliseconds everywhere (which are often not integrally
representable as system ticks), do the conversion to ticks at the
point where the timeout is created. This avoids an extra unit
conversion in some application code, and allows us to express the
timeout in units other than milliseconds to achieve greater precision.
The existing K_MSEC() et. al. macros now return initializers for a
k_timeout_t.
The K_NO_WAIT and K_FOREVER constants have now become k_timeout_t
values, which means they cannot be operated on as integers.
Applications which have their own APIs that need to inspect these
vs. user-provided timeouts can now use a K_TIMEOUT_EQ() predicate to
test for equality.
Timer drivers, which receive an integer tick count in ther
z_clock_set_timeout() functions, now use the integer-valued
K_TICKS_FOREVER constant instead of K_FOREVER.
For the initial release, to preserve source compatibility, a
CONFIG_LEGACY_TIMEOUT_API kconfig is provided. When true, the
k_timeout_t will remain a compatible 32 bit value that will work with
any legacy Zephyr application.
Some subsystems present timeout (or timeout-like) values to their own
users as APIs that would re-use the kernel's own constants and
conventions. These will require some minor design work to adapt to
the new scheme (in most cases just using k_timeout_t directly in their
own API), and they have not been changed in this patch, instead
selecting CONFIG_LEGACY_TIMEOUT_API via kconfig. These subsystems
include: CAN Bus, the Microbit display driver, I2S, LoRa modem
drivers, the UART Async API, Video hardware drivers, the console
subsystem, and the network buffer abstraction.
k_sleep() now takes a k_timeout_t argument, with a k_msleep() variant
provided that works identically to the original API.
Most of the changes here are just type/configuration management and
documentation, but there are logic changes in mempool, where a loop
that used a timeout numerically has been reworked using a new
z_timeout_end_calc() predicate. Also in queue.c, a (when POLL was
enabled) a similar loop was needlessly used to try to retry the
k_poll() call after a spurious failure. But k_poll() does not fail
spuriously, so the loop was removed.

ARM cores may have a per-core architected timer, which provides per-cpu
timers, attached to a GIC to deliver its per-processor interrupts via
PPIs. This is the most common case supported by QEMU in the virt
platform.
This patch introduces support for this timer abstracting the way the
timer registers are actually accessed. This is needed because different
architectures (for example ARMv7-R vs ARMv8-A) use different registers
and even the same architecture (ARMv8-A) can actually use different
timers (ELx physical timers vs ELx virtual timers).
So we introduce the common driver here but the actual SoC / architecture
/ board must provide the three helpers (arm_arch_timer_set_compare(),
arm_arch_timer_toggle(), arm_arch_timer_count()) using an header file
imported through the arch/cpu.h header file.
