Make natmods work again.
And put back our magic number, because our bytecode format differs from upstream drop btree & framebuf natmods, they had additional problems I didn't want to fix right now. |

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. Signed-off-by: Damien George <damien@micropython.org> |

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.

Boosted performance, board.json metadata, more mimxrt, rp2, samd features
This release of MicroPython sees a boost to the overall performance of the
VM and runtime. This is achieved by the addition of an optional cache to
speed up general hash table lookups, as well as a fast path in the VM for
the LOAD_ATTR opcode on instance types. The new configuration options are
MICROPY_OPT_MAP_LOOKUP_CACHE and MICROPY_OPT_LOAD_ATTR_FAST_PATH. As part
of this improvement the MICROPY_OPT_CACHE_MAP_LOOKUP_IN_BYTECODE option has
been removed, which provided a similar map caching mechanism but with the
cache stored in the bytecode, which made it not useful on bare metal ports.
The new mechanism is measured to be at least as good as the old one,
applies to more map lookups, has a constant RAM overhead, and applies to
native code as well as bytecode.
These performance options are enabled on the esp32, mimxrt, rp2, stm32 and
unix ports. For esp32 and mimxrt some code is also moved to RAM to further
boost performance. On stm32, performance increases by about 20% for
benchmarks that are heavy on name lookups, like misc_pystone.py and
misc_raytrace.py. On esp32 performance can increase by 2-3x, and on mimxrt
it is up to 6x.
All boards in all ports now have a board.json metadata file, which is used
to automatically build firmware and generate a webpage for that board
(among other possibilities). Auto-build scripts have been added for this
purpose and they build all esp32, mimxrt, rp2, samd and stm32 boards. The
generated output is available at https://micropython.org/download.
Support for FROZEN_DIR and FROZEN_MPY_DIR has been deprecated for some time
and was finally removed in this release. Instead of these, FROZEN_MANIFEST
can be used. The io.resource_stream() function is also removed, replaced
by the pure Python version in micropython-lib.
The search order for importing frozen Python modules is now controlled by
the ".frozen" entry in sys.path. This string is added by default in the
second position in sys.path. User code should adjust sys.path depending on
the desired behaviour. Putting ".frozen" first in sys.path will speed up
importing frozen modules.
A bug in multiple precision integers with bitwise of -0 was fixed in commit

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: diff of scores (higher is better) N=2000 M=2000 bccache -> attrmapcache diff diff% (error%) bm_chaos.py 13742.56 -> 13905.67 : +163.11 = +1.187% (+/-3.75%) bm_fannkuch.py 60.13 -> 61.34 : +1.21 = +2.012% (+/-2.11%) bm_fft.py 113083.20 -> 114793.68 : +1710.48 = +1.513% (+/-1.57%) bm_float.py 256552.80 -> 243908.29 : -12644.51 = -4.929% (+/-1.90%) bm_hexiom.py 521.93 -> 625.41 : +103.48 = +19.826% (+/-0.40%) bm_nqueens.py 197544.25 -> 217713.12 : +20168.87 = +10.210% (+/-3.01%) bm_pidigits.py 8072.98 -> 8198.75 : +125.77 = +1.558% (+/-3.22%) misc_aes.py 17283.45 -> 16480.52 : -802.93 = -4.646% (+/-0.82%) misc_mandel.py 99083.99 -> 128939.84 : +29855.85 = +30.132% (+/-5.88%) misc_pystone.py 83860.10 -> 82592.56 : -1267.54 = -1.511% (+/-2.27%) misc_raytrace.py 21490.40 -> 22227.23 : +736.83 = +3.429% (+/-1.88%) 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): diff of scores (higher is better) N=2000 M=2000 native -> nat-attrmapcache diff diff% (error%) bm_chaos.py 14130.62 -> 15464.68 : +1334.06 = +9.441% (+/-7.11%) bm_fannkuch.py 74.96 -> 76.16 : +1.20 = +1.601% (+/-1.80%) bm_fft.py 166682.99 -> 168221.86 : +1538.87 = +0.923% (+/-4.20%) bm_float.py 233415.23 -> 265524.90 : +32109.67 = +13.756% (+/-2.57%) bm_hexiom.py 628.59 -> 734.17 : +105.58 = +16.796% (+/-1.39%) bm_nqueens.py 225418.44 -> 232926.45 : +7508.01 = +3.331% (+/-3.10%) bm_pidigits.py 6322.00 -> 6379.52 : +57.52 = +0.910% (+/-5.62%) misc_aes.py 20670.10 -> 27223.18 : +6553.08 = +31.703% (+/-1.56%) misc_mandel.py 138221.11 -> 152014.01 : +13792.90 = +9.979% (+/-2.46%) misc_pystone.py 85032.14 -> 105681.44 : +20649.30 = +24.284% (+/-2.25%) misc_raytrace.py 19800.01 -> 23350.73 : +3550.72 = +17.933% (+/-2.79%) 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.

tools/mpy_ld.py: Add new mpy_ld.py tool and associated build files.
This commit adds a new tool called mpy_ld.py which is essentially a linker that builds .mpy files directly from .o files. A new header file (dynruntime.h) and makefile fragment (dynruntime.mk) are also included which allow building .mpy files from C source code. Such .mpy files can then be dynamically imported as though they were a normal Python module, even though they are implemented in C. Converting .o files directly (rather than pre-linked .elf files) allows the resulting .mpy to be more efficient because it has more control over the relocations; for example it can skip PLT indirection. Doing it this way also allows supporting more architectures, such as Xtensa which has specific needs for position-independent code and the GOT. The tool supports targets of x86, x86-64, ARM Thumb and Xtensa (windowed and non-windowed). BSS, text and rodata sections are supported, with relocations to all internal sections and symbols, as well as relocations to some external symbols (defined by dynruntime.h), and linking of qstrs. |
