Introduce a long lived section of the heap. This adapts the allocation process to start from either end of the heap when searching for free space. The default behavior is identical to the existing behavior where it starts with the lowest block and looks higher. Now it can also look from the highest block and lower depending on the long_lived parameter to gc_alloc. As the heap fills, the two sections may overlap. When they overlap, a collect may be triggered in order to keep the long lived section compact. However, free space is always eligable for each type of allocation. By starting from either of the end of the heap we have ability to separate short lived objects from long lived ones. This separation reduces heap fragmentation because long lived objects are easy to densely pack. Most objects are short lived initially but may be made long lived when they are referenced by a type or module. This involves copying the memory and then letting the collect phase free the old portion. QSTR pools and chunks are always long lived because they are never freed. The reallocation, collection and free processes are largely unchanged. They simply also maintain an index to the highest free block as well as the lowest. These indices are used to speed up the allocation search until the next collect. In practice, this change may slightly slow down import statements with the benefit that memory is much less fragmented afterwards. For example, a test import into a 20k heap that leaves ~6k free previously had the largest continuous free space of ~400 bytes. After this change, the largest continuous free space is over 3400 bytes.

py/gc: Implement GC running by allocation threshold. Currently, MicroPython runs GC when it could not allocate a block of memory, which happens when heap is exhausted. However, that policy can't work well with "inifinity" heaps, e.g. backed by a virtual memory - there will be a lot of swap thrashing long before VM will be exhausted. Instead, in such cases "allocation threshold" policy is used: a GC is run after some number of allocations have been made. Details vary, for example, number or total amount of allocations can be used, threshold may be self-adjusting based on GC outcome, etc. This change implements a simple variant of such policy for MicroPython. Amount of allocated memory so far is used for threshold, to make it useful to typical finite-size, and small, heaps as used with MicroPython ports. And such GC policy is indeed useful for such types of heaps too, as it allows to better control fragmentation. For example, if a threshold is set to half size of heap, then for an application which usually makes big number of small allocations, that will (try to) keep half of heap memory in a nice defragmented state for an occasional large allocation. For an application which doesn't exhibit such behavior, there won't be any visible effects, except for GC running more frequently, which however may affect performance. To address this, the GC threshold is configurable, and by default is off so far. It's configured with gc.threshold(amount_in_bytes) call (can be queries without an argument).

py: Introduce a Python stack for scoped allocation. This patch introduces the MICROPY_ENABLE_PYSTACK option (disabled by default) which enables a "Python stack" that allows to allocate and free memory in a scoped, or Last-In-First-Out (LIFO) way, similar to alloca(). A new memory allocation API is introduced along with this Py-stack. It includes both "local" and "nonlocal" LIFO allocation. Local allocation is intended to be equivalent to using alloca(), whereby the same function must free the memory. Nonlocal allocation is where another function may free the memory, so long as it's still LIFO. Follow-up patches will convert all uses of alloca() and VLA to the new scoped allocation API. The old behaviour (using alloca()) will still be available, but when MICROPY_ENABLE_PYSTACK is enabled then alloca() is no longer required or used. The benefits of enabling this option are (or will be once subsequent patches are made to convert alloca()/VLA): - Toolchains without alloca() can use this feature to obtain correct and efficient scoped memory allocation (compared to using the heap instead of alloca(), which is slower). - Even if alloca() is available, enabling the Py-stack gives slightly more efficient use of stack space when calling nested Python functions, due to the way that compilers implement alloca(). - Enabling the Py-stack with the stackless mode allows for even more efficient stack usage, as well as retaining high performance (because the heap is no longer used to build and destroy stackless code states). - With Py-stack and stackless enabled, Python-calling-Python is no longer recursive in the C mp_execute_bytecode function. The micropython.pystack_use() function is included to measure usage of the Python stack.

Local allocation is intended to be equivalent to using alloca(), whereby the same function must free the memory. Nonlocal allocation is where another function may free the memory, so long as it's still LIFO. Follow-up patches will convert all uses of alloca() and VLA to the new scoped allocation API. The old behaviour (using alloca()) will still be available, but when MICROPY_ENABLE_PYSTACK is enabled then alloca() is no longer required or used. The benefits of enabling this option are (or will be once subsequent patches are made to convert alloca()/VLA): - Toolchains without alloca() can use this feature to obtain correct and efficient scoped memory allocation (compared to using the heap instead of alloca(), which is slower). - Even if alloca() is available, enabling the Py-stack gives slightly more efficient use of stack space when calling nested Python functions, due to the way that compilers implement alloca(). - Enabling the Py-stack with the stackless mode allows for even more efficient stack usage, as well as retaining high performance (because the heap is no longer used to build and destroy stackless code states). - With Py-stack and stackless enabled, Python-calling-Python is no longer recursive in the C mp_execute_bytecode function. The micropython.pystack_use() function is included to measure usage of the Python stack.

py/gc: In gc_alloc, reset n_free var right before search for free mem. Otherwise there is the possibility that n_free starts out non-zero from the previous iteration, which may have found a few (but not enough) free blocks at the end of the heap. If this is the case, and if the very first blocks that are scanned the second time around (starting at gc_last_free_atb_index) are found to give enough memory (including the blocks at the end of the heap from the previous iteration that left n_free non-zero) then memory will be allocated starting before the location that gc_last_free_atb_index points to, most likely leading to corruption. This serious bug did not manifest itself in the past because a gc_collect always resets gc_last_free_atb_index to point to the start of the GC heap, and the first block there is almost always allocated to a long-lived object (eg entries from sys.path, or mounted filesystem objects), which means that n_free would be reset at the start of the search loop. But with threading enabled with the GIL disabled it is possible to trigger the bug via the following sequence of events: 1. Thread A runs gc_alloc, fails to find enough memory, and has a non-zero n_free at the end of the search. 2. Thread A calls gc_collect and frees a bunch of blocks on the GC heap. 3. Just after gc_collect finishes in thread A, thread B takes gc_mutex and does an allocation, moving gc_last_free_atb_index to point to the interior of the heap, to a place where there is most likely a run of available blocks. 4. Thread A regains gc_mutex and does its second search for free memory, starting with a non-zero n_free. Since it's likely that the first block it searches is available it will allocate memory which overlaps with the memory before gc_last_free_atb_index.

py/gc: Implement GC running by allocation threshold. Currently, MicroPython runs GC when it could not allocate a block of memory, which happens when heap is exhausted. However, that policy can't work well with "inifinity" heaps, e.g. backed by a virtual memory - there will be a lot of swap thrashing long before VM will be exhausted. Instead, in such cases "allocation threshold" policy is used: a GC is run after some number of allocations have been made. Details vary, for example, number or total amount of allocations can be used, threshold may be self-adjusting based on GC outcome, etc. This change implements a simple variant of such policy for MicroPython. Amount of allocated memory so far is used for threshold, to make it useful to typical finite-size, and small, heaps as used with MicroPython ports. And such GC policy is indeed useful for such types of heaps too, as it allows to better control fragmentation. For example, if a threshold is set to half size of heap, then for an application which usually makes big number of small allocations, that will (try to) keep half of heap memory in a nice defragmented state for an occasional large allocation. For an application which doesn't exhibit such behavior, there won't be any visible effects, except for GC running more frequently, which however may affect performance. To address this, the GC threshold is configurable, and by default is off so far. It's configured with gc.threshold(amount_in_bytes) call (can be queries without an argument).

Introduce a long lived section of the heap. This adapts the allocation process to start from either end of the heap when searching for free space. The default behavior is identical to the existing behavior where it starts with the lowest block and looks higher. Now it can also look from the highest block and lower depending on the long_lived parameter to gc_alloc. As the heap fills, the two sections may overlap. When they overlap, a collect may be triggered in order to keep the long lived section compact. However, free space is always eligable for each type of allocation. By starting from either of the end of the heap we have ability to separate short lived objects from long lived ones. This separation reduces heap fragmentation because long lived objects are easy to densely pack. Most objects are short lived initially but may be made long lived when they are referenced by a type or module. This involves copying the memory and then letting the collect phase free the old portion. QSTR pools and chunks are always long lived because they are never freed. The reallocation, collection and free processes are largely unchanged. They simply also maintain an index to the highest free block as well as the lowest. These indices are used to speed up the allocation search until the next collect. In practice, this change may slightly slow down import statements with the benefit that memory is much less fragmented afterwards. For example, a test import into a 20k heap that leaves ~6k free previously had the largest continuous free space of ~400 bytes. After this change, the largest continuous free space is over 3400 bytes.
