Damien George 6d11c69983 py: Change jump-if-x-or-pop opcodes to have unsigned offset argument.
These jumps are always forwards, and it's more efficient in the VM to
decode an unsigned argument.  These opcodes are already optimised versions
of the sequence "dup-top pop-jump-if-x pop" so it doesn't hurt generality
to optimise them further.

Damien George 538c3c0a55 py: Change jump opcodes to emit 1-byte jump offset when possible.
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.

Damien George 1692cad673 py/showbc: Remove global variables and make DECODE_PTR work correctly.
The bytecode state variables mp_showbc_code_start and mp_showbc_constants
have been removed and made local variables passed into the various
functions.

As part of this, the DECODE_PTR macro is fixed so it extracts the relevant
pointer from the child_table (a regression introduced in
f2040bfc7e).

Damien George f2040bfc7e 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.

Jim Mussared b326edf68c 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:

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):

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.

See #7680 for further discussion.  And see also #7653 for a discussion
about simplifying mpy-cross options.

Jim Mussared 7b89ad8dbf py/vm: Add a fast path for LOAD_ATTR on instance types.
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.

not catch the case fixed in this commit.  Found by coverage analysis, that
the VM had uncovered code.

Damien George 82c494a97e py/vm: Fix handling of unwind jump out of active finally.
Prior to this commit, when unwinding through an active finally the stack
was not being correctly popped/folded, which resulting in the VM crashing
for complicated unwinding of nested finallys.

This should be fixed with this commit, and more tests for return/break/
continue within a finally have been added to exercise this.

Damien George c8c0fd4ca3 py: Rework and compress second part of bytecode prelude.
This patch compresses the second part of the bytecode prelude which
contains the source file name, function name, source-line-number mapping
and cell closure information.  This part of the prelude now begins with a
single varible length unsigned integer which encodes 2 numbers, being the
byte-size of the following 2 sections in the header: the "source info
section" and the "closure section".  After decoding this variable unsigned
integer it's possible to skip over one or both of these sections very
easily.

This scheme saves about 2 bytes for most functions compared to the original
format: one in the case that there are no closure cells, and one because
padding was eliminated.

Damien George b5ebfadbd6 py: Compress first part of bytecode prelude.
The start of the bytecode prelude contains 6 numbers telling the amount of
stack needed for the Python values and exceptions, and the signature of the
function.  Prior to this patch these numbers were all encoded one after the
other (2x variable unsigned integers, then 4x bytes), but using so many
bytes is unnecessary.

An entropy analysis of around 150,000 bytecode functions from the CPython
standard library showed that the optimal Shannon coding would need about
7.1 bits on average to encode these 6 numbers, compared to the existing 48
bits.

This patch attempts to get close to this optimal value by packing the 6
numbers into a single, varible-length unsigned integer via bit-wise
interleaving.  The interleaving scheme is chosen to minimise the average
number of bytes needed, and at the same time keep the scheme simple enough
so it can be implemented without too much overhead in code size or speed.
The scheme requires about 10.5 bits on average to store the 6 numbers.

As a result most functions which originally took 6 bytes to encode these 6
numbers now need only 1 byte (in 80% of cases).

Damien George 02db91a7a3 py: Split RAISE_VARARGS opcode into 3 separate ones.
From the beginning of this project the RAISE_VARARGS opcode was named and
implemented following CPython, where it has an argument (to the opcode)
counting how many args the raise takes:

    raise # 0 args (re-raise previous exception)
    raise exc # 1 arg
    raise exc from exc2 # 2 args (chained raise)

In the bytecode this operation therefore takes 2 bytes, one for
RAISE_VARARGS and one for the number of args.

This patch splits this opcode into 3, where each is now a single byte.
This reduces bytecode size by 1 byte for each use of raise.  Every byte
counts!  It also has the benefit of reducing code size (on all ports except
nanbox).

Damien George 08c1fe5569 py/vm: Don't add traceback info for exceptions that are re-raised.
With this patch exceptions that are re-raised have improved tracebacks
(less confusing, match CPython), and it makes re-raise slightly more
efficient (in time and RAM) because they no longer need to add a traceback.
Also general VM performance is not measurably affected.

Partially fixes issue #2928.

Damien George 2fca0d7f18 py/vm: Shorten error message for not-implemented opcode.
It's really an opcode that's not implemented, so use "opcode" instead of
"byte code".  And remove the redundant "not implemented" text because that
is already implied by the exception type.  There's no need to have a long
error message for an exception that is almost never encountered.  Saves
about 20 bytes of code size on most ports.

POP_BLOCK and POP_EXCEPT are now the same, and are always followed by a

Damien George e1fb03f3e2 py: Fix VM crash with unwinding jump out of a finally block.
This patch fixes a bug in the VM when breaking within a try-finally.  The
bug has to do with executing a break within the finally block of a
try-finally statement.  For example:

    def f():
        for x in (1,):
            print('a', x)
            try:
                raise Exception
            finally:
                print(1)
                break
            print('b', x)
    f()

Currently in uPy the above code will print:

    a 1
    1
    1
    segmentation fault (core dumped)  micropython

Not only is there a seg fault, but the "1" in the finally block is printed
twice.  This is because when the VM executes a finally block it doesn't
really know if that block was executed due to a fall-through of the try (no
exception raised), or because an exception is active.  In particular, for
nested finallys the VM has no idea which of the nested ones have active
exceptions and which are just fall-throughs.  So when a break (or continue)
is executed it tries to unwind all of the finallys, when in fact only some
may be active.

It's questionable whether break (or return or continue) should be allowed
within a finally block, because they implicitly swallow any active
exception, but nevertheless it's allowed by CPython (although almost never
used in the standard library).  And uPy should at least not crash in such a
case.

The solution here relies on the fact that exception and finally handlers
always appear in the bytecode after the try body.

Note: there was a similar bug with a return in a finally block, but that
was previously fixed in b735208403

Damien George eee1e8841a py: Downcase all MP_OBJ_IS_xxx macros to make a more consistent C API.
These macros could in principle be (inline) functions so it makes sense to
have them lower case, to match the other C API functions.

The remaining macros that are upper case are:
- MP_OBJ_TO_PTR, MP_OBJ_FROM_PTR
- MP_OBJ_NEW_SMALL_INT, MP_OBJ_SMALL_INT_VALUE
- MP_OBJ_NEW_QSTR, MP_OBJ_QSTR_VALUE
- MP_OBJ_FUN_MAKE_SIG
- MP_DECLARE_CONST_xxx
- MP_DEFINE_CONST_xxx

These must remain macros because they are used when defining const data (at
least, MP_OBJ_NEW_SMALL_INT is so it makes sense to have
MP_OBJ_SMALL_INT_VALUE also a macro).

For those macros that have been made lower case, compatibility macros are
provided for the old names so that users do not need to change their code
immediately.

Paul Sokolovsky 2f5d113fad py/warning: Support categories for warnings.
Python defines warnings as belonging to categories, where category is a
warning type (descending from exception type). This is useful, as e.g.
allows to disable warnings selectively and provide user-defined warning
types.  So, implement this in MicroPython, except that categories are
represented just with strings.  However, enough hooks are left to implement
categories differently per-port (e.g. as types), without need to patch each
and every usage.

Damien George d95947b48a py/vm: When VM raises exception put exc obj at beginning of func state.
Instead of at end of state, n_state - 1.  It was originally (way back in
v1.0) put at the end of the state because the VM didn't have a pointer to
the start.  But now that the VM takes a mp_code_state_t pointer it does
have a pointer to the start of the state so can put the exception object
there.

This commit saves about 30 bytes of code on all architectures, and, more
importantly, reduces C-stack usage by a couple of words (8 bytes on Thumb2
and 16 bytes on x86-64) for every (non-generator) call of a bytecode
function because fun_bc_call no longer needs to remember the n_state
variable.

Damien George b735208403 py/vm: Fix handling of finally-return with complex nested finallys.
Back in 8047340d75 basic support was added in
the VM to handle return statements within a finally block.  But it didn't
cover all cases, in particular when some finally's were active and others
inactive when the "return" was executed.

This patch adds further support for return-within-finally by correctly
managing the currently_in_except_block flag, and should fix all cases.  The
main point is that finally handlers remain on the exception stack even if
they are active (currently being executed), and the unwind return code
should only execute those finally's which are inactive.

New tests are added for the cases which now pass.

Damien George 869024dd6e py/vm: Improve performance of opcode dispatch when using switch stmt.
Before this patch, when using the switch statement for dispatch in the VM
(not computed goto) a pending exception check was done after each opcode.
This is not necessary and this patch makes the pending exception check only
happen when explicitly requested by certain opcodes, like jump.  This
improves performance of the VM by about 2.5% when using the switch.

Damien George bc36521386 py/vm: Optimise handling of stackless mode when pystack is enabled.
When pystack is enabled mp_obj_fun_bc_prepare_codestate() will always
return a valid pointer, and if there is no more pystack available then it
will raise an exception (a RuntimeError).  So having pystack enabled with
stackless enabled automatically gives strict stackless mode.  There is
therefore no need to have code for strict stackless mode when pystack is
enabled, and this patch optimises the VM for such a case.
