Description

The standard C/POSIX functions malloc() and calloc() set errno in case of an error. A dependency to errno pulls in getreent() which pulls in a lot of data structures and functions. This is an issue in low level code especially in the area of a basic board support package initialization and device drivers.

Provide rtems_malloc() and rtems_calloc() functions declared in <rtems/malloc.h> which do the same as the corresponding C/POSIX functions except setting errno.

The posix_memalign() and aligned_alloc() functions do not have this issue with the errno.
