stijn 7e9a15966a mpy-cross: Force forward slashes in paths.
Code in tools/mpy-tool.py and py/frozenmod.c relies on the source file
path encoded in a .mpy file to have forward slashes (e.g. by searching
for '/__init__.py').  Enforce that when creating these files, thereby
fixing import of .mpy files and frozen modules not working before
because they could have backslashes when built with the windows port.

Damien George 2283b6d68f py: Pass in address to compiled module instead of returning it.
This change makes it so the compiler and persistent code loader take a
mp_compiled_module_t* as their last argument, instead of returning this
struct.  This eliminates a duplicate context variable for all callers of
these functions (because the context is now stored in the
mp_compiled_module_t by the caller), and also eliminates any confusion
about which context to use after the mp_compile_to_raw_code or
mp_raw_code_load function returns (because there is now only one context,
that stored in mp_compiled_module_t.context).

Reduces code size by 16 bytes on ARM Cortex-based ports.

Jim Mussared f31a358eb2 mpy-cross/main: Don't set a default native architecture.
If `-march` isn't set then it means the user hasn't thought about it, or in
the case of freezing, MPY_CROSS_FLAGS isn't set.  It's almost certainly
going to lead to problems, as there's no reason why the host architecture
is likely to be the right choice.

Compiling regular Python code is unaffected, but if `@native`/`@viper` is
used, the compiler will raise `SyntaxError: invalid arch`.

For situations where you explicitly want to use the host architecture (e.g.
for running tests on the unix port), added -march=host that keeps the old
behavior.

Jim Mussared d94141e147 py/persistentcode: Introduce .mpy sub-version.
The intent is to allow us to make breaking changes to the native ABI (e.g.
changes to dynruntime.h) without needing the bytecode version to increment.

With this commit the two bits previously used for the feature flags (but
now unused as of .mpy version 6) encode a sub-version.  A bytecode-only
.mpy file can be loaded as long as MPY_VERSION matches, but a native .mpy
(i.e. one with an arch set) must also match MPY_SUB_VERSION.  This allows 3
additional updates to the native ABI per bytecode revision.

The sub-version is set to 1 because the previous commits that changed the
layout of mp_obj_type_t have changed the native ABI.

Damien George 5956466c0e py/builtin: Clean up and simplify import_stat and builtin_open config.
The following changes are made:

- If MICROPY_VFS is enabled then mp_vfs_import_stat and mp_vfs_open are
  automatically used for mp_import_stat and mp_builtin_open respectively.

- If MICROPY_PY_IO is enabled then "open" is automatically included in the
  set of builtins, and points to mp_builtin_open_obj.

This helps to clean up and simplify the most common port configuration.

Damien George c49d5207e9 py/persistentcode: Remove unicode feature flag from .mpy file.
Prior to this commit, even with unicode disabled .py and .mpy files could
contain unicode characters, eg by entering them directly in a string as
utf-8 encoded.

The only thing the compiler disallowed (with unicode disabled) was using
\uxxxx and \Uxxxxxxxx notation to specify a character within a string with
value >= 0x100; that would give a SyntaxError.

With this change mpy-cross will now accept \u and \U notation to insert a
character with value >= 0x100 into a string (because the -mno-unicode
option is now gone, there's no way to forbid this).  The runtime will
happily work with strings with such characters, just like it already works
with strings with characters that were utf-8 encoded directly.

This change simplifies things because there are no longer any feature
flags in .mpy files, and any bytecode .mpy will now run on any target.

Damien George f2040bfc7e py: Rework bytecode and .mpy file format to be mostly static data.
Background: .mpy files are precompiled .py files, built using mpy-cross,
that contain compiled bytecode functions (and can also contain machine
code). The benefit of using an .mpy file over a .py file is that they are
faster to import and take less memory when importing.  They are also
smaller on disk.

But the real benefit of .mpy files comes when they are frozen into the
firmware.  This is done by loading the .mpy file during compilation of the
firmware and turning it into a set of big C data structures (the job of
mpy-tool.py), which are then compiled and downloaded into the ROM of a
device.  These C data structures can be executed in-place, ie directly from
ROM.  This makes importing even faster because there is very little to do,
and also means such frozen modules take up much less RAM (because their
bytecode stays in ROM).

The downside of frozen code is that it requires recompiling and reflashing
the entire firmware.  This can be a big barrier to entry, slows down
development time, and makes it harder to do OTA updates of frozen code
(because the whole firmware must be updated).

This commit attempts to solve this problem by providing a solution that
sits between loading .mpy files into RAM and freezing them into the
firmware.  The .mpy file format has been reworked so that it consists of
data and bytecode which is mostly static and ready to run in-place.  If
these new .mpy files are located in flash/ROM which is memory addressable,
the .mpy file can be executed (mostly) in-place.

With this approach there is still a small amount of unpacking and linking
of the .mpy file that needs to be done when it's imported, but it's still
much better than loading an .mpy from disk into RAM (although not as good
as freezing .mpy files into the firmware).

The main trick to make static .mpy files is to adjust the bytecode so any
qstrs that it references now go through a lookup table to convert from
local qstr number in the module to global qstr number in the firmware.
That means the bytecode does not need linking/rewriting of qstrs when it's
loaded.  Instead only a small qstr table needs to be built (and put in RAM)
at import time.  This means the bytecode itself is static/constant and can
be used directly if it's in addressable memory.  Also the qstr string data
in the .mpy file, and some constant object data, can be used directly.
Note that the qstr table is global to the module (ie not per function).

In more detail, in the VM what used to be (schematically):

    qst = DECODE_QSTR_VALUE;

is now (schematically):

    idx = DECODE_QSTR_INDEX;
    qst = qstr_table[idx];

That allows the bytecode to be fixed at compile time and not need
relinking/rewriting of the qstr values.  Only qstr_table needs to be linked
when the .mpy is loaded.

Incidentally, this helps to reduce the size of bytecode because what used
to be 2-byte qstr values in the bytecode are now (mostly) 1-byte indices.
If the module uses the same qstr more than two times then the bytecode is
smaller than before.

The following changes are measured for this commit compared to the
previous (the baseline):
- average 7%-9% reduction in size of .mpy files
- frozen code size is reduced by about 5%-7%
- importing .py files uses about 5% less RAM in total
- importing .mpy files uses about 4% less RAM in total
- importing .py and .mpy files takes about the same time as before

The qstr indirection in the bytecode has only a small impact on VM
performance.  For stm32 on PYBv1.0 the performance change of this commit
is:

As part of this change the .mpy file format version is bumped to version 6.
And mpy-tool.py has been improved to provide a good visualisation of the
contents of .mpy files.

In summary: this commit changes the bytecode to use qstr indirection, and
reworks the .mpy file format to be simpler and allow .mpy files to be
executed in-place.  Performance is not impacted too much.  Eventually it
will be possible to store such .mpy files in a linear, read-only, memory-
mappable filesystem so they can be executed from flash/ROM.  This will
essentially be able to replace frozen code for most applications.

Jim Mussared b326edf68c all: Remove MICROPY_OPT_CACHE_MAP_LOOKUP_IN_BYTECODE.
This commit removes all parts of code associated with the existing
MICROPY_OPT_CACHE_MAP_LOOKUP_IN_BYTECODE optimisation option, including the
-mcache-lookup-bc option to mpy-cross.

This feature originally provided a significant performance boost for Unix,
but wasn't able to be enabled for MCU targets (due to frozen bytecode), and
added significant extra complexity to generating and distributing .mpy
files.

The equivalent performance gain is now provided by the combination of
MICROPY_OPT_LOAD_ATTR_FAST_PATH and MICROPY_OPT_MAP_LOOKUP_CACHE (which has
been enabled on the unix port in the previous commit).

It's hard to provide precise performance numbers, but tests have been run
on a wide variety of architectures (x86-64, ARM Cortex, Aarch64, RISC-V,
xtensa) and they all generally agree on the qualitative improvements seen
by the combination of MICROPY_OPT_LOAD_ATTR_FAST_PATH and
MICROPY_OPT_MAP_LOOKUP_CACHE.

For example, on a "quiet" Linux x64 environment (i3-5010U @ 2.10GHz) the
change from CACHE_MAP_LOOKUP_IN_BYTECODE, to LOAD_ATTR_FAST_PATH combined
with MAP_LOOKUP_CACHE is:

This shows that the new optimisations are at least as good as the existing
inline-bytecode-caching, and are sometimes much better (because the new
ones apply caching to a wider variety of map lookups).

The new optimisations can also benefit code generated by the native
emitter, because they apply to the runtime rather than the generated code.
The improvement for the native emitter when LOAD_ATTR_FAST_PATH and
MAP_LOOKUP_CACHE are enabled is (same Linux environment as above):

In summary, compared to MICROPY_OPT_CACHE_MAP_LOOKUP_IN_BYTECODE, the new
MICROPY_OPT_LOAD_ATTR_FAST_PATH and MICROPY_OPT_MAP_LOOKUP_CACHE options:
- are simpler;
- take less code size;
- are faster (generally);
- work with code generated by the native emitter;
- can be used on embedded targets with a small and constant RAM overhead;
- allow the same .mpy bytecode to run on all targets.

See #7680 for further discussion.  And see also #7653 for a discussion
about simplifying mpy-cross options.

Damien George ad4656b861 all: Rename BYTES_PER_WORD to MP_BYTES_PER_OBJ_WORD.
The "word" referred to by BYTES_PER_WORD is actually the size of mp_obj_t
which is not always the same as the size of a pointer on the target
architecture.  So rename this config value to better reflect what it
measures, and also prefix it with MP_.

For uses of BYTES_PER_WORD in setting the stack limit this has been
changed to sizeof(void *), because the stack usually grows with
machine-word sized values (eg an nlr_buf_t has many machine words in it).

Damien George af20c2ead3 py: Add global default_emit_opt variable to make emit kind persistent.
mp_compile no longer takes an emit_opt argument, rather this setting is now
provided by the global default_emit_opt variable.

Now, when -X emit=native is passed as a command-line option, the emitter
will be set for all compiled modules (included imports), not just the
top-level script.

In the future there could be a way to also set this variable from a script.

Fixes issue #4267.

Damien George a3dc1b1957 all: Remove inclusion of internal py header files.
Header files that are considered internal to the py core and should not
normally be included directly are:
    py/nlr.h - internal nlr configuration and declarations
    py/bc0.h - contains bytecode macro definitions
    py/runtime0.h - contains basic runtime enums

Instead, the top-level header files to include are one of:
    py/obj.h - includes runtime0.h and defines everything to use the
        mp_obj_t type
    py/runtime.h - includes mpstate.h and hence nlr.h, obj.h, runtime0.h,
        and defines everything to use the general runtime support functions

Additional, specific headers (eg py/objlist.h) can be included if needed.

stijn 9bdb82ef6b mpy-cross: Use binary file translation mode for creating mpy files on windows
This is a fix for https://github.com/micropython/micropython/issues/2209:
by default a file created using open() uses text translation mode so writing
\n to it will result in the file having \r\n. This is obviously problematic
for binary .mpy files, so provide functions for setting the open mode
and use binary mode in mpy-cross' main().

Damien George 74fb4e795b mpy-cross: Add -s option to specify the embedded source filename.
.mpy files contain the name of the source file that they were compiled
from.  This patch adds a way to change this name to an arbitrary string,
specified on the command line with the -s option.  The default is to use
the full name of the input filename.

This new -s option is useful to strip off a leading directory name so
that mpy-tool.py can freeze packages.

Damien George 56f76b873a mpy-cross: Add new component, a cross compiler for MicroPython bytecode.
This component allows to generate .mpy files (pre compiled bytecode)
which can be executed within any MicroPython runtime/VM.
