This commit introduces changes:
- All jump opcodes are changed to have variable length arguments, of either
1 or 2 bytes (previously they were fixed at 2 bytes). In most cases only
1 byte is needed to encode the short jump offset, saving bytecode size.
- The bytecode emitter now selects 1 byte jump arguments when the jump
offset is guaranteed to fit in 1 byte. This is achieved by checking if
the code size changed during the last pass and, if it did (if it shrank),
then requesting that the compiler make another pass to get the correct
offsets of the now-smaller code. This can continue multiple times until
the code stabilises. The code can only ever shrink so this iteration is
guaranteed to complete. In most cases no extra passes are needed, the
original 4 passes are enough to get it right by the 4th pass (because the
2nd pass computes roughly the correct labels and the 3rd pass computes
the correct size for the jump argument).
This change to the jump opcode encoding reduces .mpy files and RAM usage
(when bytecode is in RAM) by about 2% on average.
The performance of the VM is not impacted, at least within measurment of
the performance benchmark suite.
Code size is reduced for builds that include a decent amount of frozen
bytecode. ARM Cortex-M builds without any frozen code increase by about
350 bytes.

The bytecode state variables mp_showbc_code_start and mp_showbc_constants
have been removed and made local variables passed into the various

This commit adds generic support for mutable module attributes on built in
modules, by adding support for an optional hook function for module
attribute lookup. If a module wants to support additional attribute load/
store/delete (beyond what is in the constant, globals dict) then it should
add at the very end of its globals dict MP_MODULE_ATTR_DELEGATION_ENTRY().
This should point to a custom function which will handle any additional
attributes.
The mp_module_generic_attr() function is provided as a helper function for
additional attributes: it requires an array of qstrs (terminated in
MP_QSTRnull) and a corresponding array of objects (with a 1-1 mapping
between qstrs and objects). If the qstr is found in the array then the
corresponding object is loaded/stored/deleted.

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.

In commit 86ce442607 the '.frozen' entry was
added at the start of sys.path, to allow control over when frozen modules
are searched during import, and retain existing behaviour whereby frozen
was searched before the filesystem.
But Python semantics of sys.path require sys.path[0] to be the directory of
the currently executing script, or ''.
This commit moves the '.frozen' entry to second place in sys.path, so
sys.path[0] retains its correct value (described above).

This commit makes sure that the value zero is always encoded in an mpz_t as
neg=0 and len=0 (previously it was just len=0).
This invariant is needed for some of the bitwise operations that operate on

(-((1<<100)-(1<<100)))|1 was being computed as -65535, instead of 1.

This feature is not enabled on any port, it's not in CPython's io module,
and functionality is better suited to the micropython-lib implementation of
pkg_resources.
Make it possible to proceed to a regular lookup in locals_dict if the
custom type->attr fails. This allows type->attr to extend rather than
completely replace the lookup in locals_dict.
This is useful for custom builtin classes that have mostly regular methods
but just a few special attributes/properties. This way, type->attr needs
to deal with the special cases only and the default lookup will be used for
generic methods.

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):

- 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.

The existing inline bytecode caching optimisation, selected by
MICROPY_OPT_CACHE_MAP_LOOKUP_IN_BYTECODE, reserves an extra byte in the
bytecode after certain opcodes, which at runtime stores a map index of the
likely location of this field when looking up the qstr. This scheme is
incompatible with bytecode-in-ROM, and doesn't work with native generated
code. It also stores bytecode in .mpy files which is of a different format
to when the feature is disabled, making generation of .mpy files more
complex.
This commit provides an alternative optimisation via an approach that adds
a global cache for map offsets, then all mp_map_lookup operations use it.
It's less precise than bytecode caching, but allows the cache to be
independent and external to the bytecode that is executing. It also works
for the native emitter and adds a similar performance boost on top of the
gain already provided by the native emitter.

When the LOAD_ATTR opcode is executed there are quite a few different cases
that have to be handled, but the common case is accessing a member on an
instance type. Typically, built-in types provide methods which is why this
is common.
Fortunately, for this specific case, if the member is found in the member
map then there's no further processing.
This optimisation does a relatively cheap check (type is instance) and then
forwards directly to the member map lookup, falling back to the regular
path if necessary.

This is the beginning of a set of changes to simplify enabling/disabling
features. The goals are:
- Remove redundancy from mpconfigport.h (never set a value to the default
-- make it clear exactly what's being enabled).
- Improve consistency between ports. All "similar" ports (i.e. approx same
flash size) should get the same features.
- Simplify mpconfigport.h -- just get default/sensible options for the size
of the port.
- Make it easy for defining constrained boards (e.g. STM32F0/L0), they can
just set a lower level.
This commit makes a step towards this and defines the "core" level as the
current default feature set, and a "minimal" level to turn off everything.
And a few placeholder levels are added for where the other ports will
roughly land.
This is a no-op change for all ports.

This commit simplifies and optimises the parse tree in-memory
representation of lists of expressions, for tuples and lists, and when
tuples are used on the left-hand-side of assignments and within del
statements. This reduces memory usage of the parse tree when such code is
compiled, and also reduces the size of the compiler.
For example, (1,) was previously the following parse tree:
expr_stmt(5) (n=2)
atom_paren(45) (n=1)
testlist_comp(146) (n=2)
int(1)
testlist_comp_3b(149) (n=1)

NULL
and with this commit is now:
expr_stmt(5) (n=2)
atom_paren(45) (n=1)
testlist_comp(146) (n=1)

This implements (most of) the PEP-498 spec for f-strings and is based on
https://github.com/micropython/micropython/pull/4998 by @klardotsh.
It is implemented in the lexer as a syntax translation to `str.format`:
f"{a}" --> "{}".format(a)
It also supports:
f"{a=}" --> "a={}".format(a)
This is done by extracting the arguments into a temporary vstr buffer,
then after the string has been tokenized, the lexer input queue is saved
and the contents of the temporary vstr buffer are injected into the lexer
instead.
There are four main limitations:
- raw f-strings (`fr` or `rf` prefixes) are not supported and will raise
`SyntaxError: raw f-strings are not supported`.
- literal concatenation of f-strings with adjacent strings will fail
"{}" f"{a}" --> "{}{}".format(a) (str.format will incorrectly use
the braces from the non-f-string)
f"{a}" f"{a}" --> "{}".format(a) "{}".format(a) (cannot concatenate)
- PEP-498 requires the full parser to understand the interpolated
argument, however because this entirely runs in the lexer it cannot
resolve nested braces in expressions like
f"{'}'}"
- The !r, !s, and !a conversions are not supported.

Commit 4173950658 removed automatic building
of mpy-cross, which rebuilt it whenever any of its dependent source files
changed.
But needing to build mpy-cross, and not knowing how, is a frequent issue.
This commit aims to help by automatically building mpy-cross only if it
doesn't exist. For Makefiles it uses an order-only prerequisite, while
for CMake it uses a custom command.
If MICROPY_MPYCROSS (which is what makemanifest.py uses to locate the
mpy-cross executable) is defined in the environment then automatic build
will not be attempted, allowing a way to prevent this auto-build if needed.

Only include .c and .cpp files explicitly in the list of files passed to

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)

* Creates a usermod target to hang user C/CXX modules from.
* Gathers sources from user C/CXX modules and libs for QSTR scan.

* Includes py/usermod.cmake.
* Links the resulting usermod library to the MicroPython target.
py/mkrules.cmake:
Add cxxflags to qstr.i.last custom command for CXX modules:
* MICROPY_CPP_FLAGS so CXX modules will find includes.
* -DNO_QSTR to fix fatal error missing "genhdr/qstrdefs.generated.h".
Usage:
The rp2 port can be linked against user C modules by running:
make USER_C_MODULES=/path/to/module/micropython.cmake

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).

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

Support C++ code in .cpp files by providing CXX counterparts of the
_USERMOD_ flags we have for C already. This merely enables the Makefile of
user C modules to use variables specific to C++ compilation, it is still up
to each port's main Makefile to also include these in the build.
When SCR_QSTR contains C++ files they should be preprocessed with the same
compiler flags (CXXFLAGS) as they will be compiled with, to make sure code
scanned for QSTR occurrences is effectively the code used in the rest of
the build. The 'split SCR_QSTR in .c and .cpp files and process each with
different flags' logic isn't trivial to express in a Makefile and the
existing principle for deciding which files to preprocess was already
rather complicated, so the actual preprocessing is moved into
makeqstrdefs.py completely.
When process_file() is passed a preprocessed C++ file for instance it won't
find any lines containing .c files and the last_fname variable remains
None, so handle that gracefully.
Newer GCC versions are able to warn about switch cases that fall
through. This is usually a sign of a forgotten break statement, but in
the few cases where a fall through is intended we annotate it with this
macro to avoid the warning.
Like Clang, GCC warns about this file, but only with -Woverride-init
which is enabled by -Wextra. Disable the warnings for this file just
like we do for Clang to make -Wextra happy.
When compiling with -Wextra which includes -Wmissing-field-initializers
GCC will warn that the defval field of mp_arg_val_t is not initialized.
This is just a warning as it is defined to be zero initialized, but since
it is a union it makes sense to be explicit about which member we're
going to use, so add the explicit initializers and get rid of the
warning.
On x86 chars are signed, but we're comparing a char to '0' + unsigned int,
which is promoted to an unsigned int. Let's promote the char to unsigned
before doing the comparison to avoid weird corner cases.
The function scope_find_or_add_id used to take a scope_kind_t enum and
save it in an uint8_t. Saving an enum in a uint8_t is fine, but
everywhere this function is called it is not actually given a
scope_kind_t but an anonymous enum instead. Let's give this enum a name
and use that as the argument type.
This doesn't change the generated code, but is a C type mismatch that
unfortunately doesn't show up unless you enable -Wenum-conversion.
Some downstream projects may use tags in their repositories for more than
just designating MicroPython releases. In those cases, the
makeversionhdr.py script would end up using a different tag than intended.
So tell `git describe` to only match tags that look like a MicroPython
version tag, such as `v1.12` or `v2.0`.
Calling the bytes constructor on a bytes object returns the original bytes
object. This saves allocating a new instance, and matches CPython.

For time-based functions that work with absolute time there is the need for
an Epoch, to set the zero-point at which the absolute time starts counting.
Such functions include time.time() and filesystem stat return values. And
different ports may use a different Epoch.
To make it clearer what functions use the Epoch (whatever it may be), and
make the ports more consistent with their use of the Epoch, this commit
renames all Epoch related functions to include the word "epoch" in their
name (and remove references to "2000").
Along with this rename, the following things have changed:
- mp_hal_time_ns() is now specified to return the number of nanoseconds
since the Epoch, rather than since 1970 (but since this is an internal
function it doesn't change anything for the user).
- littlefs timestamps on the esp8266 have been fixed (they were previously
off by 30 years in nanoseconds).

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

CPython 3.5.2) where the function was changed to a normal one. See
https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0492/#why-aiter-does-not-return-an-awaitable
See also the note at the end of this subsection in the docs:
https://docs.python.org/3.5/reference/datamodel.html#asynchronous-iterators
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.
Because the argument arrays may overlap, as show by the new tests in this
commit.
Also remove the debugging comments for these macros, add a new comment
about overlapping regions, and separate the macros by blank lines to make
them easier to read.
Fixes issue #6244.

This commit fixes lookups of class members to make it so that built-in
functions that are used as methods/functions of a class work correctly.
The mp_convert_member_lookup() function is pretty much completely changed
by this commit, but for the most part it's just reorganised and the
indenting changed. The functional changes are:
- staticmethod and classmethod checks moved to later in the if-logic,
because they are less common and so should be checked after the more
common cases.
- The explicit mp_obj_is_type(member, &mp_type_type) check is removed
because it's now subsumed by other, more general tests in this function.
- MP_TYPE_FLAG_BINDS_SELF and MP_TYPE_FLAG_BUILTIN_FUN type flags added to
make the checks in this function much simpler (now they just test this
bit in type->flags).
- An extra check is made for mp_obj_is_instance_type(type) to fix lookup of
built-in functions.
Fixes#1326 and #6198.

This allows complex binary operations to fail gracefully with unsupported
operation rather than raising an exception, so that special methods work
correctly.
