Ensure the symmetry of PWM: the duty rate of X and Q channels was not 50%,
when it should have been. That is evident at high frequencies, like 15Mhz
or 37.5 MHz. At low frequencies the deviation mattered less. The A/B
channels were fine.
Also round up or down non-integer division factors. Before, always the
floor value was used.
That caused Ethernet to lock up at high data rates after ~200MByte data
average in a row. Tested now with data bursts up to 10 GByte and overall
data rates of ~8MByte/s at the Eth100 port.
Sometimes frames could not be sent immediately because the controller was
still busy with previous frames. Then, an error was returned to lwip.
This fix adds a limited number of retries for this busy state, waiting
100µs before the next attempt. Typically the transmit succeeds now at the
second attempt.
Second change: Reset the controller for a clean state after soft reset.
OCOTP_Init() has been removed from mphalport.c. The library files are
missing for the MIMXRT1015, and for just reading the OCOTP the Init is not
required.
The disk_access header was moved to a different path in Zephyr v2.6.0.
The old path was deprecated for two releases (v2.6.0 and v2.7.0) and
will no longer be supported after Zephyr v2.7.0.

If setting the frequency to a value used already by an existing timer, this
timer will be used. But still, the duty cycle for that channel may have to
be changed.

If MicroPython threads are enabled, loops waiting for an incoming event
should release the GIL and suspend, allowing other tasks to run while they
wait.
Prior to this commit, the problem can easily be observed by running a
thread that is both busy and regularly releases the GIL (for example a loop
doing something then sleeping a few ms after each iteration). When the
main task is at the REPL, the thread is significantly stalled. If the main
task is manually made to release the GIL (for example, by calling
utime.sleep_ms(500)) the other thread can be seen immediately working at
the expected speed again.
Additionally, there are various instances in where blocking functions run
MICROPY_EVENT_POLL_HOOK in a loop while they wait for a certain event/
condition. For example the uselect methods poll objects to determine
whether data is available, but uses 100% of CPU while it does, constantly
calling MICROPY_EVENT_POLL_HOOK in the process.
The MICROPY_EVENT_POLL_HOOK macro is only ever used in waiting loops, where
(if threads are enabled) it makes sense to yield for a single tick so that
these loops do not consume all CPU cycles but instead other threads may
execute. (In fact, the thing these loops wait for may even indirectly or
directly depend on another task being able to run.)
This change moves the sleep that was inside the REPL input function to
inside the MICROPY_EVENT_POLL_HOOK macro, where the GIL is already being
released, solving both the blocking REPL issue and the 100% CPU use issue
at the same time.

The stack (and arg) of core1 is itself a root pointer, not just the entries
in it. Without this fix the GC could reclaim the entire stack (and
argument object).

.py files are valid source files and shouldn't be ignored. This line was

That caused the compile of frozen_content.c to fail if characters like
backslash were in a short string. Thanks to @hippy for identifying the
spot to change.
The xmlns attribute is required for older msbuild version (e.g. for
VS2015). Add it where needed, and reorder the attributes so all
files look the same.
This makes the auto soft-reset behaviour of mpremote more logical, and now
configurable via these new commands.

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

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.

The unix port's main.c gets used by unix and windows ports, and with a
variety of compilers, so it's convenient to see which version is actually
being used immediately when starting micropython. This is similar to what
CPython does.
