* Do some kernel cleanupMichael Sevakis2014-08-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * Seal away private thread and kernel definitions and declarations into the internal headers in order to better hide internal structure. * Add a thread-common.c file that keeps shared functions together. List functions aren't messed with since that's about to be changed to different ones. * It is necessary to modify some ARM/PP stuff since GCC was complaining about constant pool distance and I would rather not force dump it. Just bl the cache calls in the startup and exit code and let it use veneers if it must. * Clean up redundant #includes in relevant areas and reorganize them. * Expunge useless and dangerous stuff like remove_thread().

* Add multi-reader, single-writer locks to kernel.Michael Sevakis2014-08-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Any number of readers may be in the critical section at a time and writers are mutually exclusive to all other threads. They are a better choice when data is rarely modified but often read and multiple threads can safely access it for reading. Priority inheritance is fully implemented along with other changes to the kernel to fully support it on multiowner objects. This also cleans up priority code in the kernel and updates some associated structures in existing objects to the cleaner form. Currently doesn't add the mrsw_lock.[ch] files since they're not yet needed by anything but the supporting improvements are still useful. This includes a typed bitarray API (bitarray.h) which is pretty basic for now.

dir. No code changed, just shuffling stuff around. This should make it easier to build only select parts kernel and use different implementations. Change-Id: Ie1f00f93008833ce38419d760afd70062c5e22b5
