  • posix: env: create z_getenv()..z_setenv() convenience functions
  • posix: env: move most implementations to env-common.c
  • posix: clock: create z_clock_gettime().. convenience functions.
  • posix: clock: move most implementations to clock_common.c
  • posix: implement the xsi_single_process option group
  • tests: posix: add test for the xsi_single_process option group
  • doc: posix: add doc for xsi_single_process option group
  • posix: implement the posix_clock_selection option group
  • tests: posix: add posix_clock_selection testsuite

Notable Changes

  • gettimeofday() is moved to the XSI_SINGLE_PROCESS Option Group (which is according to spec)
  • Remove artificial dependencies POSIX_SINGLE_PROCESS and POSIX_TIMERS from XSI_SINGLE_PROCESS
    • POSIX Option Groups should be independent
  • env functions required by XSI_SINGLE_PROCESS and POSIX_SINGLE_PROCESS moved to env-common.c
  • clock functions required by XSI_SINGLE_PROCESS, POSIX_TIMERS, and POSIX_CLOCK_SELECTION moved to clock-common.c
  • Clock base now protected by sys_sem instead of spinlock (to better support userspace)

Notable Observations

  • z_ functions will get replaced at a later date when we have resolution of Drop z_ prefix as identifier for internal/private functions and revert back to _  #58007
  • tests/lib/time should really be a part of tests/lib/c_lib since it tests the time() C89 function
    • Big problem is that it pulls in CONFIG_POSIX_TIMERS and CONFIG_XSI_SINGLE_PROCESS
    • Why? in the common libc implementationtime() uses clock_gettime(), which is maybe fine if the assumption is that one is using POSIX or running on top of a POSIX OS anyway, but that's definitely not the case in Zephyr.
      • it forms a dependency cycle at the API level
      • the z_clock_gettime() and similar functions in this PR could easily become a core part of Zephyr (i.e. promoted to k_clock_gettime() etc)
      • the dependency cycle (between libc and posix) would then be resolved via mutual dependency (Zephyr)
  • asctime_r(), ctime_r(), gmtime_r(), localtime_r() should all probably be moved to POSIX_C_LANG_SUPPORT_R since they are not part of ISO C until C23, which is not yet proposed in RFC: C11 (or C17) requirement #30105

Should be merged after #89063, #89107

posix: env: create z_getenv()..z_setenv() convenience functions
78785cd 
To facilitate adding putenv in a separate compilation unit,
make z_getenv(), z_getenv_r(), z_setenv(), and z_unsetenv()
convenience functions.

posix: env: move most implementations to env-common.c

Move most implementations to env-common.c in preparation for adding
putenv.c .

We also take this as an opportunity to switch from using k_spinlock
to sys_sem.

posix: implement the XSI_SINGLE_PROCESS Option Group
9781fde 
gettimeofday() was already implemented, but incorrectly lumped into
POSIX_TIMERS.

putenv() is really just a wrapper around setenv().

The only one left to implement was gethostid() which was relatively
trivial.

posix: implement the POSIX_CLOCK_SELECTION Option Group
aed230e 
Implement the POSIX_CLOCK_SELECTION Option Group.

This was mostly already done, but compiled / linked in the wrong places.

E.g. pthread_condattr_getclock() and pthread_condattr_setclock() were
in pthread.c and part of POSIX_THREADS_BASE. clock_nanosleep() was in
clock.c and part of POSIX_TIMERS.

This change builds them as part of clock_selection.c with
CONFIG_POSIX_CLOCK_SELECTION.

tests: posix: add posix_clock_selection testsuite

@nashif, @andyross - the bot assigned his PR to you, and so I think it needs one or both if your approvals in order to be merged.

Feel free to reassign if you prefer.

https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr/actions/runs/\
15014534061/job/42189411225

We were seeing a linker error of the form

```
picolibc/x86_64-zephyr-elf/lib/32/libc.a(libc_time_time.c.o): \
  in function `time':
time.c:(.text.time+0x11): undefined reference to `gettimeofday'
```

Update the dependency from CONFIG_POSIX_TIMERS to
CONFIG_XSI_SINGLE_PROCESS for gettimeofday().

Note: this is really only a workaround. The proper solution would
be to have libc functions not depend on POSIX functions.
