for the citimon stats:
thread 0: thread 1:
enter_critical (t0)
up_switch_context
note suspend thread0 (t1)
thread running
IRQ happen, in ISR:
post thread0
up_switch_context
note resume thread0 (t2)
ISR continue f1
ISR continue f2
...
ISR continue fn
leave_critical (t3)
You will see, the thread 0, critical_section time is:
(t1 - t0) + (t3 - t2)
BUT, this result contains f1 f2 .. fn time spent, it is wrong
to tell user thead0 hold the critical lots of time but actually
not belong to it.

reason:
by doing this we can reduce context switch time,
When we exit from an interrupt handler, we directly use tcb->xcp.regs

1 On different architectures, we can utilize more optimized strategies
to implement up_current_regs/up_set_current_regs.
eg. use interrupt registersor percpu registers.

reason:
In SMP, when a context switch occurs, restore_critical_section is executed.
To reduce the time taken for context switching, we directly pass the required
parameters to restore_critical_section instead of acquiring them repeatedly.

The text describes an issue related to the running task in code.
The running task is only used when calling the _assert function
to indicate the task that was running before an exception occurred.
However, the current code only updates the running task during
irq_dispatch, which is suitable for ARM-M architecture but not
for ARM-A or ARM-R architecture, because their context switches
are not done through irq handler. Therefore, if the following
process is followed, the value of the running task will be incorrect:
1. task1 is running, this_task()=task1
2. do_irq is executed, setting running task()=task1
3. task1 switches to task2
4. task2 is running and generates a data abort
5. In the data abort, the _assert function is called,
and the running task obtained is still task1, but
the actual task that generated the exception is task2.

Detach the address environment handling from the group structure to the
tcb. This is preparation to fix rare cases where the system (MMU) is left
without a valid page directory, e.g. when a process exits.
There were two issues with signal handling:
- With a kernel stack the "info" parameter was passed from kernel memory.
This is fixed by making a stack frame to the user stack and copying it
there.
- If the signal handler uses a system call, the kernel stack was completely
and unconditionally destroyed, resulting in a crash in the user application
There is also no need to check ustkptr, it is always NULL. Why ? Because
signal delivery is deferred when a system call is being executed.
Situation:
Assume we have 2 cpus, and busy run task0.
CPU0 CPU1
task0 -> task1 task2 -> task0
1. remove task0 form runninglist
2. take task1 as new tcb
3. add task0 to blocklist
4. clear spinlock
4.1 remove task2 form runninglist
4.2 take task0 as new tcb
4.3 add task2 to blocklist
4.4 use svc ISR swith to task0
4.5 crash
5. use svc ISR swith to task1
Fix:
Move clear spinlock to the end of svc ISR

The current context save implementation saves registers of each task
to xcp context, which is unnecessary because most of the arm registers are
already saved in the task stack, this commit replace the xcp context with
stack context to improve context switching performance and reduce the tcb
space occupation of tcb instance.

Summary
The naming standard at https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NUTTX/Naming+FAQ requires that all MCU-private functions begin with the name of the architecture, not up_.
This PR addresses only these name changes for the ARM-private functions prototyped in arm_internal.h
This change to the files only modifies the name of called functions. nxstyle fixes were made for all core architecture files. However, there are well over 5000 additional complaints from MCU drivers and board logic that are unrelated to to this change but were affected by the name change. It is not humanly possible to fix all of these. I ask that this change be treated like other cosmetic changes that we have done which do not require full nxstyle compliance.
Impact
There should be not impact of this change (other that one step toward more consistent naming).

Summary
The naming standard at https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NUTTX/Naming+FAQ requires that all MCU-private files begin with the name of the architecture, not up_.
This PR addresses only these name changes for the up_*.h files. There are only three, but almost 1680 files that include them:
up_arch.h
up_internal.h
up_vfork.h
The only change to the files is from including up_arch.h to arm_arch.h (for example).
The entire job required to be compatible with that Naming Convention will also require changing the naming of the up_() functions that are used only within arch/arm and board/arm.
Impact
There should be not impact of this change (other that one step toward more consistent naming).
