"""
Script to generate gperf tables mapping threads to their privileged mode stacks

Some MPU devices require that memory region definitions be aligned to their
own size, which must be a power of two. This introduces difficulties in
reserving memory for the thread's supervisor mode stack inline with the
K_THREAD_STACK_DEFINE() macro.

Instead, the stack used when a user thread elevates privileges is allocated
elsewhere in memory, and a gperf table is created to be able to quickly
determine where the supervisor mode stack is in memory. This is accomplished
by scanning the DWARF debug information in zephyr_prebuilt.elf, identifying
instances of 'struct k_thread', and emitting a gperf configuration file which
allocates memory for each thread's privileged stack and creates the table
mapping thread addresses to these stacks.
