The random module's getrandbits() method didn't give a proper error message
when calling it with a value that was outside of the range of 1-32, which
can lead to confusion using this function (which under CPython can accept
numbers larger than 32). Now instead of simply giving a ValueError it
gives an error message that states that the number of bits is constrained.
Also, since the random module's functions getrandbits() and randint()
differ from CPython, tests have been added to describe these differences.
For getrandbits the relevant documentation is shown and added to the docs.
The same is given for randint method so that the information is more easily
found.
Finally, since the int object lacks the bit_length() method there is a test
for that method also to include within the docs, showing the difference to
CPython.
If digest is called then the hash object is put in a "final" state and
calling update() or digest() again will raise a ValueError (instead of
silently producing the wrong result).

for which the binary comparison yielded incorrect results: types
with different sizes, and floating point numbers because nan != nan.

This commit makes gc_lock_depth have one counter per thread, instead of one
global counter. This makes threads properly independent with respect to
the GC, in particular threads can now independently lock the GC for
themselves without locking it for other threads. It also means a given
thread can run a hard IRQ without temporarily locking the GC for all other
threads and potentially making them have MemoryError exceptions at random
locations (this really only occurs on MCUs with multiple cores and no GIL,
eg on the rp2 port).
The commit also removes protection of the GC lock/unlock functions, which
is no longer needed when the counter is per thread (and this also fixes the
cas where a hard IRQ calling gc_lock() may stall waiting for the mutex).
It also puts the check for `gc_lock_depth > 0` outside the GC mutex in
gc_alloc, gc_realloc and gc_free, to potentially prevent a hard IRQ from
waiting on a mutex if it does attempt to allocate heap memory (and putting
the check outside the GC mutex is now safe now that there is a
gc_lock_depth per thread).

This commit adds the errno attribute to exceptions, so code can retrieve
errno codes from an OSError using exc.errno.
The implementation here simply lets `errno` (and the existing `value`)
attributes work on any exception instance (they both alias args[0]). This
is for efficiency and to keep code size down. The pros and cons of this
are:
Pros:
- more compatible with CPython, less difference to document and learn
- OSError().errno will correctly return None, whereas the current way of
doing it via OSError().args[0] will raise an IndexError
- it reduces code size on most bare-metal ports (because they already have
the errno qstr)
- for Python code that uses exc.errno the generated bytecode is 2 bytes
smaller and more efficient to execute (compared with exc.args[0]); so
bytecode loaded to RAM saves 2 bytes RAM for each use of this attribute,
and bytecode that is frozen saves 2 bytes flash/ROM for each use
- it's easier/shorter to type, and saves 2 bytes of space in .py files that
use it (for each use)
Cons:
- increases code size by 4-8 bytes on minimal ports that don't already have
the `errno` qstr
- all exceptions now have .errno and .value attributes (a cpydiff test is
added to address this)

Per CPython everything which comes after the command, module or file
argument is not an option for the interpreter itself. Hence the processing
of options should stop when encountering those, and the remainder be passed
as sys.argv. Note the latter was already the case for a module or file but
not for a command.
This fixes issues like 'micropython myfile.py -h' showing the help and
exiting instead of passing '-h' as sys.argv[1], likewise for
'-X <something>' being treated as a special option no matter where it
occurs on the command line.

The underlying OS (the ESP-IDF) uses it's own internal errno codes and so
it's simpler and cleaner to use those rather than trying to convert
everything to the values defined in py/mperrno.h.
For certain operands to mpn_div, the existing code path for
`DIG_SIZE == MPZ_DBL_DIG_SIZE / 2` had a bug in it where borrow could still
overflow in the `(x >= *n || *n - x <= borrow)` branch, ie
`borrow + x - (mpz_dbl_dig_t)*n` overflows the borrow variable. In such
cases the subsequent right-shift of borrow would not bring in the overflow
bit, leading to an error in the result. An example division that had
overflow when MPZ_DIG_SIZE = 16 is `(2 ** 48 - 1) ** 2 // (2 ** 48 - 1)`.
This is fixed in this commit by simplifying the code and handling the low
digits of borrow first, and then the upper bits (to shift down) separately.
There is no longer a distinction between `DIG_SIZE < MPZ_DBL_DIG_SIZE / 2`
and `DIG_SIZE == MPZ_DBL_DIG_SIZE / 2`.
This commit also simplifies the second part of the calculation so that
borrow does not need to be negated (instead the code just works knowing
that borrow is negative and using + instead of - in calculations involving
borrow).

According to documentation time() has a precision of at least 1 second.
This test runs for 2.5 seconds and calls all utime functions every 100ms.
Then it checks if they returned enough different results. All functions
with sub-second precision will return ~25 results. This test passes with
15 results or more. Functions that do not exist are skipped silently.
The original logic of reducing a full path to a relative one assumes
"tests/misc" is in the filename which is limited in usage: it never works
for CPython on Windows since that will use a backslash as path separator,
and also won't work when the filename is a path not relative to the tests
directory which happens for example in the common case of running
"./run-tests -d misc".
Fix all cases by printing only the bare filename, which requires them all
to start with sys_settrace_ hence the renaming.
Mounting a bdev directly tries to auto-detect the filesystem and if none is
found an OSError(19,) should be raised.
The fourth parameter of readblocks() and writeblocks() must be optional to
support ports with MICROPY_VFS_FAT=1. Otherwise mounting a bdev may fail
because looking for a FATFS will call readblocks() with only 3 parameters.
Two issues are tackled:
1. The calculation of the correct length to print is fixed to treat the
precision as a maximum length instead as the exact length.
This is done for both qstr (%q) and for regular str (%s).
2. Fix the incorrect use of mp_printf("%.*s") to mp_print_strn().
Because of the fix of above issue, some testcases that would print
an embedded null-byte (^@ in test-output) would now fail.
The bug here is that "%s" was used to print null-bytes. Instead,
mp_print_strn is used to make sure all bytes are outputted and the
exact length is respected.
Test-cases are added for both %s and %q with a combination of precision
and padding specifiers.

When a tasks raises an exception which is uncaught, and no other task
await's on that task, then an error message is printed (or a user function
called) via a call to Loop.call_exception_handler. In CPython this call is
made when the Task object is freed (eg via reference counting) because it's
at that point that it is known that the exception that was raised will
never be handled.
MicroPython does not have reference counting and the current behaviour is
to deal with uncaught exceptions as early as possible, ie as soon as they
terminate the task. But this can be undesirable because in certain cases
a task can start and raise an exception immediately (before any await is
executed in that task's coro) and before any other task gets a chance to
await on it to catch the exception.
This commit changes the behaviour so that tasks which end due to an
uncaught exception are scheduled one more time for execution, and if they
are not await'ed on by the next scheduling loop, then the exception handler
is called (eg the exception is printed out).

Prior to this change machine.mem32['foo'] (or using any other non-integer
subscript) could result in a fault due to 'foo' being interpreted as an
integer. And when writing code it's hard to tell if the fault is due to a
bad subscript type, or an integer subscript that specifies an invalid
memory address.
The type of the object used in the subscript is now tested to be an
integer by using mp_obj_get_int_truncated instead of
mp_obj_int_get_truncated. The performance hit of this change is minimal,
and machine.memX objects are more for convenience than performance (there
are many other ways to read/write memory in a faster way),

Add working example code to provide a starting point for users with files

uses the code originally found in cmodules.rst, which has been updated to
reflect this and partially rewritten with more complete information.
Support building .cpp files and linking them into the micropython
executable in a way similar to how it is done for .c files. The main
incentive here is to enable user C modules to use C++ files (which are put
in SRC_MOD_CXX by py.mk) since the core itself does not utilize C++.
However, to verify build functionality a unix overage test is added. The
esp32 port already has CXXFLAGS so just add the user modules' flags to it.
For the unix port use a copy of the CFLAGS but strip the ones which are not
usable for C++.
If a port provides MICROPY_PY_URANDOM_SEED_INIT_FUNC as a source of

- mod_urandom___init__ is changed to call seed() without arguments, instead
of explicitly passing in the result of MICROPY_PY_URANDOM_SEED_INIT_FUNC.
- mod_urandom___init__ will only ever seed the pRNG once (before it could
seed it again if imported by, eg, random and then urandom).

guaranteed to be initialised on import of the (u)random module.

While checking whether we can enable -Wimplicit-fallthrough, I encountered
a diagnostic in mp_binary_set_val_array_from_int which led to discovering
the following bug:
```
>>> struct.pack("xb", 3)
b'\x03\x03'
```
That is, the next value (3) was used as the value of a padding byte, while
standard Python always fills "x" bytes with zeros. I initially thought
this had to do with the unintentional fallthrough, but it doesn't.
Instead, this code would relate to an array.array with a typecode of
padding ('x'), which is ALSO not desktop Python compliant:
```
>>> array.array('x', (1, 2, 3))
array('x', [1, 0, 0])
```
Possibly this is dead code that used to be shared between struct-setting
and array-setting, but it no longer is.
I also discovered that the argument list length for struct.pack
and struct.pack_into were not checked, and that the length of binary data
passed to array.array was not checked to be a multiple of the element
size.
I have corrected all of these to conform more closely to standard Python
and revised some tests where necessary. Some tests for micropython-specific
behavior that does not conform to standard Python and is not present

A configurable result directory is advantageous because it enables
using a dedicated location, eventually outside of the source tree,
instead of forcing the output files into a fixed directory which might
also contain other files already. For that reason the default output
directory also has been changed to tests/results/.
Replace some usages of paths relative to the current working directory
with absolute paths relative to the tests directory.
Fixes and resulting changes:
- default values of MICROPYTHON and MPYCROSS are absolute paths and
always correct
- likewise, the correct full paths for tools and extmod directories
are appended to sys.path
- printing/cleaning failures works properly since it expects the .exp
and .out files in the tests directory which is also where they
are written to now, plus no more need for changing directories
This fixes#5872 and allows running custom tests which use run-tests
without having to cd to the tests directory first, and the test output
still is in the tests/ directory instead of the current working directory.
Discovery of tests and all skip test logic based on paths relative to
the current working directory remains unchanged which essentially means
that for running most of MicroPython's own tests, run-tests must still
be ran from within it's directory, so document that.
With sleep(0.2) a multiple of sleep(0.1), the order of task 2 and 3
execution is not well defined, and depends on the precision of the system
clock and how fast the rest of the code runs. So change 0.2 to 0.18 to
make the test more reliable.

This commit adds support for modification time of files on littlefs v2
filesystems, using file attributes. For some background see issue #6114.
Features/properties of this implementation:
- Only supported on littlefs2 (not littlefs1).
- Uses littlefs2's general file attributes to store the timestamp.
- The timestamp is 64-bits and stores nanoseconds since 1970/1/1 (if the
range to the year 2554 is not enough then additional bits can be added to
this timestamp by adding another file attribute).
- mtime is enabled by default but can be disabled in the constructor, eg:
uos.mount(uos.VfsLfs2(bdev, mtime=False), '/flash')
- It's fully backwards compatible, existing littlefs2 filesystems will work
without reformatting and timestamps will be added transparently to
existing files (once they are opened for writing).
- Files without timestamps will open correctly, and stat will just return 0
for their timestamp.
- mtime can be disabled or enabled each mount time and timestamps will only
be updated if mtime is enabled (otherwise they will be untouched).

mp_reader_new_file() is used to read in files for importing, either .py or
.mpy files, for the lexer and persistent code loader respectively. In both
cases the file should be opened in raw bytes mode: the lexer handles
unicode characters itself, and .mpy files contain 8-bit bytes by nature.
Before this commit importing was working correctly because, although the
file was opened in text mode, all native filesystem implementations (POSIX,
FAT, LFS) would access the file in raw bytes mode via mp_stream_rw()
calling mp_stream_p_t.read(). So it was only an issue for non-native
filesystems, such as those implemented in Python. For Python-based
filesystem implementations, a call to mp_stream_rw() would go via IOBase
and then to readinto() at the Python level, and readinto() is only defined
on files opened in raw bytes mode.

On ports where normal heap memory can contain executable code (eg ARM-based
ports such as stm32), native code loaded from an .mpy file may be reclaimed
by the GC because there's no reference to the very start of the native
machine code block that is reachable from root pointers (only pointers to
internal parts of the machine code block are reachable, but that doesn't
help the GC find the memory).
This commit fixes this issue by maintaining an explicit list of root
pointers pointing to native code that is loaded from an .mpy file. This
is not needed for all ports so is selectable by the new configuration
option MICROPY_PERSISTENT_CODE_TRACK_RELOC_CODE. It's enabled by default
if a port does not specify any special functions to allocate or commit

And for completeness the BPO: https://bugs.python.org/issue27243
To be consistent with the Python spec as it stands today (and now that
PEP492 is final) this commit changes MicroPython's behaviour to match
CPython: __aiter__ should return an async-iterable object, but is not
itself awaitable.
The relevant tests are updated to match.
See #6267.
