chao an d8b4d53444 sched/tickless: Fix CLOCK_MONOTONIC always 0 by updating sched ticks
Fix the issue where clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) always returns 0 in
tickless mode, caused by the scheduler tick counter (g_system_ticks) not
being updated with the actual timer ticks.

1. Add clock_update_sched_ticks() function to sched/clock/clock_sched_ticks.c:
  a. This function directly sets the system tick counter to a specific value
     (vs incrementing in clock_increase_sched_ticks), with full documentation
     matching the existing code style.
  b. Uses seqlock to ensure thread-safe access to g_system_ticks.

2. Call clock_update_sched_ticks() in nxsched_process_timer() (sched_processtickless.c):

  a. Syncs the scheduler tick counter with the actual timer ticks retrieved via up_timer_gettick().

With this fix, g_system_ticks is properly updated in tickless mode,
and clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) returns the correct non-zero monotonic time.

Apache NuttX is a real-time operating system (RTOS) with an emphasis on standards compliance and small footprint. Scalable from 8-bit to 64-bit microcontroller environments, the primary governing standards in NuttX are POSIX and ANSI standards. Additional standard APIs from Unix and other common RTOSs (such as VxWorks) are adopted for functionality not available under these standards, or for functionality that is not appropriate for deeply-embedded environments (such as fork()).

For brevity, many parts of the documentation will refer to Apache NuttX as simply NuttX.

Getting Started

First time on NuttX? Read the Getting Started guide! If you don't have a board available, NuttX has its own simulator that you can run on terminal.

Documentation

You can find the current NuttX documentation on the Documentation Page.

Alternatively, you can build the documentation yourself by following the Documentation Build Instructions.

The old NuttX documentation is still available in the Apache wiki.

Supported Boards

NuttX supports a wide variety of platforms. See the full list on the Supported Platforms page.
