This allows calls to `allocate_memory()` while the VM is running, it will then allocate from the GC heap (unless there is a suitable hole among the supervisor allocations), and when the VM exits and the GC heap is freed, the allocation will be moved to the bottom of the former GC heap and transformed into a proper supervisor allocation. Existing movable allocations will also be moved to defragment the supervisor heap and ensure that the next VM run gets as much memory as possible for the GC heap.
By itself this breaks terminalio because it violates the assumption that supervisor_display_move_memory() still has access to an undisturbed heap to copy the tilegrid from. It will work in many cases, but if you're unlucky you will get garbled terminal contents after exiting from the vm run that created the display. This will be fixed in the following commit, which is separate to simplify review.
`pow(a, b, c)` can compute `(a ** b) % c` efficiently (in time and memory).
This can be useful for extremely specific applications, like implementing
the RSA cryptosystem. For typical uses of CircuitPython, this is not an
important feature. A survey of the bundle and learn system didn't find
any uses.
Disable it on M0 builds so that we can fit in needed upgrades to the USB
stack.
Instead of unrolling the code 16 times, unroll it 4 times and loop
over it 4 times. This gives the same 16 iterations, but at an expense
of less flash space.
This reclaims over 1kB of flash space by simplifying certain exception
messages. e.g., it will no longer display the requested/actual length
when a fixed list/tuple of N items is needed:
if (MICROPY_ERROR_REPORTING == MICROPY_ERROR_REPORTING_TERSE) {
mp_raise_ValueError(translate("tuple/list has wrong length"));
} else {
mp_raise_ValueError_varg(translate("requested length %d but object has length %d"),
(int)len, (int)seq_len);
Other chip families including samd51 keep their current error reporting
capabilities.
* No weak link for modules. It only impacts _os and _time and is
already disabled for non-full builds.
* Turn off PA00 and PA01 because they are the crystal on the Metro
M0 Express.
* Change ejected default to false to move it to BSS. It is set on
USB connection anyway.
* Set sinc_filter to const. Doesn't help flash but keeps it out of
RAM.
This decreases the link time, especially on desktop machines with many CPU
cores. However, it does come at a slight cost in binary size, making the flash
section about 200 bytes bigger for circuitplayground_express.
Before, linking build-circuitplayground_express/firmware.elf takes
8.8s elapsed time, leaving 3128 bytes free in flash.
After, linking build-circuitplayground_express/firmware.elf takes 2.8s elapsed
time, leaving 2924 bytes free in flash. (-6 seconds, -204 bytes free)
If necessary, we can make this per-board or even per-translation to squeeze full
builds.
The time.sleep() and time.monotonic() functions break the timer
interrupt on which PewPew10 display relies, so we can't use them
anymore. Instead I'm adding a time-keeping function to the display
code itself, which then can be used in pew.tick() internally.
The issue was that a time.sleep() would set the RTC wake up
further into the future even if we wanted to tick every ms. Ticking
every ms is used to time the autoreload delay and without it,
autoreload doesn't work.
Fixes#3528
I have a function where it should be impossible to reach the end, so I put in a safe-mode reset at the bottom:
```
int find_unused_slot(void) {
// precondition: you already verified that a slot was available
for (int i=0; i<NUM_SLOTS; i++) {
if( slot_free(i)) {
return i;
}
}
safe_mode_reset(MICROPY_FATAL_ERROR);
}
```
However, the compiler still gave a diagnostic, because safe_mode_reset was not declared NORETURN.
So I started by teaching the compiler that reset_into_safe_mode never returned. This leads at least one level deeper due to reset_cpu needing to be a NORETURN function. Each port is a little different in this area. I also marked reset_to_bootloader as NORETURN.
Additional notes:
* stm32's reset_to_bootloader was not implemented, but now does a bare reset. Most stm32s are not fitted with uf2 bootloaders anyway.
* ditto cxd56
* esp32s2 did not implement reset_cpu at all. I used esp_restart(). (not tested)
* litex did not implement reset_cpu at all. I used reboot_ctrl_write. But notably this is what reset_to_bootloader already did, so one or the other must be incorrect (not tested). reboot_ctrl_write cannot be declared NORETURN, as it returns unless the special value 0xac is written), so a new unreachable forever-loop is added.
* cxd56's reset is via a boardctl() call which can't generically be declared NORETURN, so a new unreacahble "for(;;)" forever-loop is added.
* In several places, NVIC_SystemReset is redeclared with NORETURN applied. This is accepted just fine by gcc. I chose this as preferable to editing the multiple copies of CMSIS headers where it is normally declared.
* the stub safe_mode reset simply aborts. This is used in mpy-cross.
Lightly tested:
* no matches (catch-all)
* standard address single address matches (even and odd positions)
* standard address mask matches
* only tested that extended doesn't match non-extended
Tested & working:
* Send standard packets
* Receive standard packets (1 FIFO, no filter)
Interoperation between SAM E54 Xplained running this tree and
MicroPython running on STM32F405 Feather with an external
transceiver was also tested.
Many other aspects of a full implementation are not yet present,
such as error detection and recovery.
I recently misdiagnosed a "maybe-uninitialized" diagnostic as a bug in
asf4. However, the problem was in our SPI code.
A special case for samr21 MCUs was being applied to same54p20a and possibly
other D5x/E5x MCUs, since the check was simply for pin PC19 existing at all.
Change the check to use the macro PIN_PC19F_SERCOM4_PAD0 which is only
defined if special function F of pin PC19 is SERCOM4 PAD0.
Reorganize the code a little bit so that brace-matching in editors is
not confused by the conditionalized code, including an unrelated change
for APA102_SCK's condition.
Revert the change to the Makefile that incorrectly attempted to silence
the diagnostic.
