[RFC PATCH 13/28] lkl: initialization and cleanup

From: Octavian Purdila
Date: Tue Nov 03 2015 - 15:23:30 EST


Add the lkl_start_kernel and lkl_sys_halt APIs that start and
respectively stops the Linux kernel.

lkl_start_kernel creates a separate threads that will run the initial
and idle kernel thread. It waits for the kernel to complete
initialization before returning, to avoid races with system calls
issues by the host application.

During the setup phase, we create "/init" in initial ramfs root
filesystem to avoid mounting the "real" rootfs since ramfs is good
enough for now.

lkl_stop_kernel will shutdown the kernel, terminate all threads and
free all host resources used by the kernel before returning.

This patch also introduces idle CPU handling since it is closely
related to the shutdown process. A host semaphore is used to wait for
new interrupts when the kernel switches the CPU to idle to avoid
wasting host CPU cycles. When the kernel is shutdown we terminate the
idle thread at the first CPU idle event.
