Damien George 647fa63f9c stm32/softtimer: Support static soft timer instances.
This adds support for making static (ie not on the Python GC heap) soft
timers.  This can be useful for a board to define a custom background
handler, or eventually for BLE/network processing to use instead of systick
slots; it will be more efficient using soft timer for this.

The main issue with using the existing code for static soft timers is that
it would combine heap allocated and statically allocated soft_timer_entry_t
instances in the same pairing-heap data structure.  This would prevent the
GC from tracing some of the heap allocated entries (because the GC won't
follow pointers outside the heap).

This commit makes it so that soft timer entries are explicitly marked,
instead of relying on implicit marking by having the root of the pairing
heap in the root pointer section.  Also, on soft reset only the heap-
allocated soft timers are deleted from the pairing heap, leaving the
statically allocated ones.

Jim Mussared 710426024a all: Factor gchelper code to one place and use it for unix & ARM ports.
No functionality change is intended with this commit, it just consolidates
the separate implementations of GC helper code to the lib/utils/ directory
as a general set of helper functions useful for any port.  This reduces
duplication of code, and makes it easier for future ports or embedders to
get the GC implementation correct.

Ports should now link against gchelper_native.c and either gchelper_m0.s or
gchelper_m3.s (currently only Cortex-M is supported but other architectures
can follow), or use the fallback gchelper_generic.c which will work on
x86/x64/ARM.

The gc_helper_get_sp function from gchelper_m3.s is not really GC related
and was only used by cc3200, so it has been moved to that port and renamed
to cortex_m3_get_sp.

Damien George 69661f3343 all: Reformat C and Python source code with tools/codeformat.py.
This is run with uncrustify 0.70.1, and black 19.10b0.

Damien George fd49fcb229 stm32/gccollect: Always use MP_STATE_THREAD(stack_top) to get stack top.
In a non-thread build, using &_ram_end as the top-of-stack is no longer
correct because the stack is not always at the very top end of RAM.  See
eg 04c7cdb668 and
3786592097.  The correct value to use is
&_estack, which is the value stored in MP_STATE_THREAD(stack_top), and
using the same code for both thread and non-thread builds makes the code
cleaner.

Damien George 3058d46892 stm32/gccollect: Use gchelper.h header instead of explicit declaration. 2019-02-12 14:38:30 +11:00
Damien George e1ae9939ac stm32: Support compiling with object representation D.
With this and previous patches the stm32 port can now be compiled using
object representation D (nan boxing).  Note that native code and frozen mpy
files with float constants are currently not supported with this object
representation.

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.

Damien George 01dd7804b8 ports: Make new ports/ sub-directory and move all ports there.
This is to keep the top-level directory clean, to make it clear what is
core and what is a port, and to allow the repository to grow with new ports
in a sustainable way.
