 * @brief Fatal error policy handler
 *
 * This function is not invoked by application code, but is declared as a
 * weak symbol so that applications may introduce their own policy.
 *
 * The default implementation of this function halts the system
 * unconditionally. Depending on architecture support, this may be
 * a simple infinite loop, power off the hardware, or exit an emulator.
 *
 * If this function returns, then the currently executing thread will be
 * aborted.
 *
 * A few notes for custom implementations:
 *
 * - If the error is determined to be unrecoverable, LOG_PANIC() should be
 *   invoked to flush any pending logging buffers.
 * - K_ERR_KERNEL_PANIC indicates a severe unrecoverable error in the kernel
 *   itself, and should not be considered recoverable. There is an assertion
 *   in z_fatal_error() to enforce this.
 * - Even outside of a kernel panic, unless the fault occurred in user mode,
 *   the kernel itself may be in an inconsistent state, with API calls to
 *   kernel objects possibly exhibiting undefined behavior or triggering
 *   another exception.
 *
 * @param reason The reason for the fatal error
 * @param esf Exception context, with details and partial or full register
 *            state when the error occurred. May in some cases be NULL.

 * On architectures where k_thread_abort() never returns, this function
