David Lechner c012318d74 unix: Implement `-X realtime` command-line option on macOS.
This adds a new command line option to the unix port `-X realtime` to
enable realtime priority on threads.  This enables high precision timers
for applications that need more accurate timers.

David Lechner be5657b64f ports: Rename thread_t to mp_thread_t.
This adds the `mp_` prefix to the `thread_t` type.  The name `thread_t`
conflicts with the same in `mach/mach_types.h` on macOS.

Pavol Rusnak 95048129b1 unix: Fix build on arm64-darwin due to integer cast.
This fixes error: cast to smaller integer type 'int' from 'pthread_t'.
pthread_t is defined as long, not as int.

Damien George ad4656b861 all: Rename BYTES_PER_WORD to MP_BYTES_PER_OBJ_WORD.
The "word" referred to by BYTES_PER_WORD is actually the size of mp_obj_t
which is not always the same as the size of a pointer on the target
architecture.  So rename this config value to better reflect what it
measures, and also prefix it with MP_.

For uses of BYTES_PER_WORD in setting the stack limit this has been
changed to sizeof(void *), because the stack usually grows with
machine-word sized values (eg an nlr_buf_t has many machine words in it).

Jim Mussared 5d0be97bd9 unix: Make the MICROPY_xxx_ATOMIC_SECTION mutex recursive.
This mutex is used to make the unix port behave more like bare metal, i.e.
it allows "IRQ handlers" to run exclusively by making the mutex recursive.

Jim Mussared 710426024a all: Factor gchelper code to one place and use it for unix & ARM ports.
No functionality change is intended with this commit, it just consolidates
the separate implementations of GC helper code to the lib/utils/ directory
as a general set of helper functions useful for any port.  This reduces
duplication of code, and makes it easier for future ports or embedders to
get the GC implementation correct.

Ports should now link against gchelper_native.c and either gchelper_m0.s or
gchelper_m3.s (currently only Cortex-M is supported but other architectures
can follow), or use the fallback gchelper_generic.c which will work on
x86/x64/ARM.

The gc_helper_get_sp function from gchelper_m3.s is not really GC related
and was only used by cc3200, so it has been moved to that port and renamed
to cortex_m3_get_sp.

stijn 84fa3312cf all: Format code to add space after C++-style comment start.
Note: the uncrustify configuration is explicitly set to 'add' instead of
'force' in order not to alter the comments which use extra spaces after //
as a means of indenting text for clarity.

Jim Mussared c2cfbcc8d4 unix: Implement MICROPY_BEGIN/END_ATOMIC_SECTION protection macros.
This macro is used to implement global serialisation, typically by
disabling IRQs.  On the unix port, if threading is enabled, use the
existing thread mutex (that protects the thread list structure) for this
purpose.  Other places in the code (eg the scheduler) assume this macro
will provide serialisation.

Damien George 8fff0b0acd unix/mpthreadport: Ensure enough thread stack to detect overflow.
Following up to 5e6cee07ab, some systems (eg
FreeBSD 12.0 64-bit) will crash if the stack-overflow margin is too small.
It seems the margin of 8192 bytes (or thereabouts) is always needed.  This
commit adds this much margin if the requested stack size is too small.

Fixes issue #5824.

David Lechner 5e6cee07ab unix/mpthreadport: Fix crash when thread stack size <= 8k.
The stack size adjustment for detecting stack overflow in threads was not
taking into account that the requested stack size could be <= 8k, in which
case the subtraction would overflow.  This is fixed in this commit by
ensuring that the adjustment can't be more than the available size.

This fixes the test tests/thread/thread_stacksize1.py which sometimes
crashes with a segmentation fault because of an uncaught NLR jump, which is
a "maximum recursion depth exceeded" exception.

David Lechner 4adcaa4423 unix/mpthreadport: Fix Mac build by using SIGUSR1 if SIGRTMIN not avail.
Some platforms, like Apple, don't define SIGRTMIN, so fall back to SIGUSR1
in such a case.

Fixes #5659.

David Lechner 3bd2ae1a36 unix/mpthreadport: Use SIGRTMIN+5 instead of SIGUSR1 for thread-GC.
This changes the signal used to trigger garbage collection from SIGUSR1 to
SIGRTMIN + 5.  SIGUSR1 is quite common compared to SIGRTMIN (measured by
google search results) and is more likely to conflict with libraries that
may use the same signal.

POSIX specifies that there are at least 8 real-time signal so 5 was chosen
as a "random" number to further avoid potential conflict with libraries
that may use SIGRTMIN or SIGRTMAX.

Also, if we ever have a `usignal` module, it would be nice to leave SIGUSR1
and SIGUSR2 free for user programs.

David Lechner b72cb0ca1b py/mpthread.h: Use strong type for mp_thread_set_state() argument.
This modifies the signature of mp_thread_set_state() to use
mp_state_thread_t* instead of void*.  This matches the return type of
mp_thread_get_state(), which returns the same value.

`struct _mp_state_thread_t;` had to be moved before
`#include <mpthreadport.h>` since the stm32 port uses it in its
mpthreadport.h file.

Mikhail Zakharov 18723e9889 unix/mpthreadport: Remove busy wait loop in thread garbage collection.
One can't use pthread calls in a signal handler because they are not
async-signal-safe (see man signal-safety).  Instead, sem_post can be used
to post from within a signal handler and this should be more efficient than
using a busy wait loop, waiting on a volatile variable.

Damien George a3dc1b1957 all: Remove inclusion of internal py header files.
Header files that are considered internal to the py core and should not
normally be included directly are:
    py/nlr.h - internal nlr configuration and declarations
    py/bc0.h - contains bytecode macro definitions
    py/runtime0.h - contains basic runtime enums

Instead, the top-level header files to include are one of:
    py/obj.h - includes runtime0.h and defines everything to use the
        mp_obj_t type
    py/runtime.h - includes mpstate.h and hence nlr.h, obj.h, runtime0.h,
        and defines everything to use the general runtime support functions

Additional, specific headers (eg py/objlist.h) can be included if needed.

Damien George 01dd7804b8 ports: Make new ports/ sub-directory and move all ports there.

core and what is a port, and to allow the repository to grow with new ports
in a sustainable way.
