Includes the following Xtensa port updates from Cadence foss-xtensa fork:

  • Add LX8 support for > 32 interrupts
  • ThreadX: Fix context switch logic
  • ThreadX: Interrupt fixes for TX_ENABLE_EXECUTION_CHANGE_NOTIFY
  • ThreadX: Support for DYNAMIC_REENT
  • ThreadX: Xtensa execution profiling support
  • ThreadX: Update xtensa port readme
  • ThreadX: Add Xtensa example to EPK
  • ThreadX: Add xtensa.cmake

All updates verified internally on multiple Xtensa configurations

PR checklist

  • [ x ] Updated function header with a short description and version number
  • [ x ] Added test case for bug fix or new feature
  • [ x ] Validated on real hardware

Also fix inconsistent SWPRI define in interrupt handler
- Disable interrupts prior to allocating a large exception frame;
  only reenable them after deallocating the extra memory.
- Any user tasks with stacks based on TX_MINIMUM_STACK do not
  have sufficient space for both a context switch frame and an ISR
  frame; ill-timed interrupts were causing stack overruns.
- Must reload register trashed by notify hook function call
- Must ensure PS.WOE is set before using call8
- Remove unused XT_USE_INT_WRAPPER define and associated changes,
  which had a bug in XEA2 usage
- Fix another case where enabling the thread notify hooks for
  call0 ABI corrupted a register
- ThreadX change to handle dynamic reent for both newlib and xclib
- Adapt ThreadX xclib interface code to handle dynamic reent pointers
- Update upstream execution profiling for Xtensa port
- tx_execution_profile.h now defines an Xtensa example
  in addition to the existing Cortex example
