Dan Kalowsky 27afe41b10 debug: thread_analyzer: add thread analyzer option to reset frame
Use THREAD_ANALYZER_LONG_FRAME_PER_INTERVAL config to reset
longest frame value to zero after printing so that longest frame
now represents longest frame for the most recent interval.  The
longest overall frame is often at startup and this modification
allows one to observe subsequent long frames.

Thread analyzer
###################
The thread analyzer module enables all the Zephyr options required to track
the thread information, e.g. thread stack size usage and other runtime thread
runtime statistics.
The analysis is performed on demand when the application calls
:c:func:`thread_analyzer_run` or :c:func:`thread_analyzer_print`.
For example, to build the synchronization sample with Thread Analyser enabled,
do the following:
.. zephyr-app-commands::
:zephyr-app: samples/synchronization/
:board: qemu_x86
:goals: build
:gen-args: -DCONFIG_QEMU_ICOUNT=n -DCONFIG_THREAD_ANALYZER=y \
-DCONFIG_THREAD_ANALYZER_USE_PRINTK=y -DCONFIG_THREAD_ANALYZER_AUTO=y \
-DCONFIG_THREAD_ANALYZER_AUTO_INTERVAL=5
When you run the generated application in Qemu, you will get the additional
information from Thread Analyzer::

Configuration
*************
Configure this module using the following options.
:kconfig:option:`CONFIG_THREAD_ANALYZER`
Enable the module.
:kconfig:option:`CONFIG_THREAD_ANALYZER_USE_PRINTK`
Use printk for thread statistics.
:kconfig:option:`CONFIG_THREAD_ANALYZER_USE_LOG`
Use the logger for thread statistics.
:kconfig:option:`CONFIG_THREAD_ANALYZER_AUTO`
Run the thread analyzer automatically.
You do not need to add any code to the application when using this option.
:kconfig:option:`CONFIG_THREAD_ANALYZER_AUTO_INTERVAL`
The time for which the module sleeps between consecutive printing of thread analysis in automatic
mode.
:kconfig:option:`CONFIG_THREAD_ANALYZER_AUTO_STACK_SIZE`
The stack for thread analyzer automatic thread.
:kconfig:option:`CONFIG_THREAD_NAME`
Print the name of the thread instead of its ID.
:kconfig:option:`CONFIG_THREAD_RUNTIME_STATS`
Print thread runtime data such as utilization.
This options is automatically selected by :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_THREAD_ANALYZER`.
:kconfig:option:`CONFIG_THREAD_ANALYZER_LONG_FRAME_PER_INTERVAL`
Reset Longest Frame value statistics after printing.
When using :kconfig:option:`SCHED_THREAD_USAGE_ANALYSIS` to get average and longest
frame thread statistics, reset the Longest Frame value to zero after each time
printing the thread statistics. This enables observation of the longest frame
during the most recent interval rather than longest frame since startup.
