This introduces a new build variable FROZEN_MANIFEST which can be set to a
manifest listing (written in Python) that describes the set of files to be
frozen in to the firmware.
This commit adds support for sys.settrace, allowing to install Python
handlers to trace execution of Python code. The interface follows CPython
as closely as possible. The feature is disabled by default and can be
enabled via MICROPY_PY_SYS_SETTRACE.
The variable $(CAT) is initialised with the "cat" value in mkenv.mk like
for the other command line tools (rm, echo, cp, mkdir etc). With this,
for example, Windows users can specify the path of cat.exe.
This system makes it a lot easier to include external libraries as static,
native modules in MicroPython. Simply pass USER_C_MODULES (like
FROZEN_MPY_DIR) as a make parameter.
During make, makemoduledefs.py parses the current builds c files for
MP_REGISTER_MODULE(module_name, obj_module, enabled_define)
These are used to generate a header with the required entries for
"mp_rom_map_elem_t mp_builtin_module_table[]" in py/objmodule.c
Also, to make it possible for ports to provide their own lwipopts.h, the
default include directory of extmod/lwip-include is no longer added and
instead a port should now make sure the correct include directory is
included in the list (can still use extmod/lwip-include).
As mentioned in #4450, `websocket` was experimental with a single intended
user, `webrepl`. Therefore, we'll make this change without a weak
link `websocket` -> `uwebsocket`.
Building axtls gives a lot of warnings with -Wall enabled, and explicitly
disabling all of them cannot be done in a way compatible with gcc and
clang, and likely other compilers. So just use -Wno-all to prevent all of
the extra warnings (in addition to the necessary -Wno-unused-parameter,
-Wno-uninitialized, -Wno-sign-compare and -Wno-old-style-definition).
Fixes issue #4182.
This removes the need for a separate axtls build stage, and builds all
axtls object files along with other code. This simplifies and cleans up
the build process, automatically builds axtls when needed, and puts the
axtls object files in the correct $(BUILD) location.
The MicroPython axtls configuration file is provided in
extmod/axtls-include/config.h
The API follows guidelines of https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0272/,
but is optimized for code size, with the idea that full PEP 0272
compatibility can be added with a simple Python wrapper mode.
The naming of the module follows (u)hashlib pattern.
At the bare minimum, this module is expected to provide:
* AES128, ECB (i.e. "null") mode, encrypt only
Implementation in this commit is based on axTLS routines, and implements
following:
* AES 128 and 256
* ECB and CBC modes
* encrypt and decrypt
This VFS component allows to mount a host POSIX filesystem within the uPy
VFS sub-system. All traditional POSIX file access then goes through the
VFS, allowing to sandbox a uPy process to a certain sub-dir of the host
system, as well as mount other filesystem types alongside the host
filesystem.
Instead of emitnative.c having configuration code for each supported
architecture, and then compiling this file multiple times with different
macros defined, this patch adds a file per architecture with the necessary
code to configure the native emitter. These files then #include the
emitnative.c file.
This simplifies emitnative.c (which is already very large), and simplifies
the build system because emitnative.c no longer needs special handling for
compilation and qstr extraction.
If a port only needs the core files then it can now use the $(PY_CORE_O)
variable instead of $(PY_O). $(PY_EXTMOD_O) contains the list of extmod
files (including some files from lib/). $(PY_O) retains its original
definition as the list of all object file (including those for frozen code)
and is a convenience variable for ports that want everything.
So far, implements just append() and popleft() methods, required for
a normal queue. Constructor doesn't accept an arbitarry sequence to
initialize from (am empty deque is always created), so an empty tuple
must be passed as such. Only fixed-size deques are supported, so 2nd
argument (size) is required.
There's also an extension to CPython - if True is passed as 3rd argument,
append(), instead of silently overwriting the oldest item on queue
overflow, will throw IndexError. This behavior is desired in many
cases, where queues should store information reliably, instead of
silently losing some items.
Each NLR implementation (Thumb, x86, x64, xtensa, setjmp) duplicates a lot
of the NLR code, specifically that dealing with pushing and popping the NLR
pointer to maintain the linked-list of NLR buffers. This patch factors all
of that code out of the specific implementations into generic functions in
nlr.c, along with a helper macro in nlr.h. This eliminates duplicated
code.
This reverts commit 6a3a742a6c.
The above commit has number of faults starting from the motivation down
to the actual implementation.
1. Faulty implementation.
The original code contained functions like:
NORETURN void nlr_jump(void *val) {
nlr_buf_t **top_ptr = &MP_STATE_THREAD(nlr_top);
nlr_buf_t *top = *top_ptr;
...
__asm volatile (
"mov %0, %%edx \n" // %edx points to nlr_buf
"mov 28(%%edx), %%esi \n" // load saved %esi
"mov 24(%%edx), %%edi \n" // load saved %edi
"mov 20(%%edx), %%ebx \n" // load saved %ebx
"mov 16(%%edx), %%esp \n" // load saved %esp
"mov 12(%%edx), %%ebp \n" // load saved %ebp
"mov 8(%%edx), %%eax \n" // load saved %eip
"mov %%eax, (%%esp) \n" // store saved %eip to stack
"xor %%eax, %%eax \n" // clear return register
"inc %%al \n" // increase to make 1, non-local return
"ret \n" // return
: // output operands
: "r"(top) // input operands
: // clobbered registers
);
}
Which clearly stated that C-level variable should be a parameter of the
assembly, whcih then moved it into correct register.
Whereas now it's:
NORETURN void nlr_jump_tail(nlr_buf_t *top) {
(void)top;
__asm volatile (
"mov 28(%edx), %esi \n" // load saved %esi
"mov 24(%edx), %edi \n" // load saved %edi
"mov 20(%edx), %ebx \n" // load saved %ebx
"mov 16(%edx), %esp \n" // load saved %esp
"mov 12(%edx), %ebp \n" // load saved %ebp
"mov 8(%edx), %eax \n" // load saved %eip
"mov %eax, (%esp) \n" // store saved %eip to stack
"xor %eax, %eax \n" // clear return register
"inc %al \n" // increase to make 1, non-local return
"ret \n" // return
);
for (;;); // needed to silence compiler warning
}
Which just tries to perform operations on a completely random register (edx
in this case). The outcome is the expected: saving the pure random luck of
the compiler putting the right value in the random register above, there's
a crash.
2. Non-critical assessment.
The original commit message says "There is a small overhead introduced
(typically 1 machine instruction)". That machine instruction is a call
if a compiler doesn't perform tail optimization (happens regularly), and
it's 1 instruction only with the broken code shown above, fixing it
requires adding more. With inefficiencies already presented in the NLR
code, the overhead becomes "considerable" (several times more than 1%),
not "small".
The commit message also says "This eliminates duplicated code.". An
obvious way to eliminate duplication would be to factor out common code
to macros, not introduce overhead and breakage like above.
3. Faulty motivation.
All this started with a report of warnings/errors happening for a niche
compiler. It could have been solved in one the direct ways: a) fixing it
just for affected compiler(s); b) rewriting it in proper assembly (like
it was before BTW); c) by not doing anything at all, MICROPY_NLR_SETJMP
exists exactly to address minor-impact cases like thar (where a) or b) are
not applicable). Instead, a backwards "solution" was put forward, leading
to all the issues above.
The best action thus appears to be revert and rework, not trying to work
around what went haywire in the first place.
Each NLR implementation (Thumb, x86, x64, xtensa, setjmp) duplicates a lot
of the NLR code, specifically that dealing with pushing and popping the NLR
pointer to maintain the linked-list of NLR buffers. This patch factors all
of that code out of the specific implementations into generic functions in
nlr.c. This eliminates duplicated code.
The factoring also allows to make the machine-specific NLR code pure
assembler code, thus allowing nlrthumb.c to use naked function attributes
in the correct way (naked functions can only have basic inline assembler
code in them).
There is a small overhead introduced (typically 1 machine instruction)
because now the generic nlr_jump() must call nlr_jump_tail() rather than
them being one combined function.
This patch introduces the MICROPY_ENABLE_PYSTACK option (disabled by
default) which enables a "Python stack" that allows to allocate and free
memory in a scoped, or Last-In-First-Out (LIFO) way, similar to alloca().
A new memory allocation API is introduced along with this Py-stack. It
includes both "local" and "nonlocal" LIFO allocation. Local allocation is
intended to be equivalent to using alloca(), whereby the same function must
free the memory. Nonlocal allocation is where another function may free
the memory, so long as it's still LIFO.
Follow-up patches will convert all uses of alloca() and VLA to the new
scoped allocation API. The old behaviour (using alloca()) will still be
available, but when MICROPY_ENABLE_PYSTACK is enabled then alloca() is no
longer required or used.
The benefits of enabling this option are (or will be once subsequent
patches are made to convert alloca()/VLA):
- Toolchains without alloca() can use this feature to obtain correct and
efficient scoped memory allocation (compared to using the heap instead
of alloca(), which is slower).
- Even if alloca() is available, enabling the Py-stack gives slightly more
efficient use of stack space when calling nested Python functions, due to
the way that compilers implement alloca().
- Enabling the Py-stack with the stackless mode allows for even more
efficient stack usage, as well as retaining high performance (because the
heap is no longer used to build and destroy stackless code states).
- With Py-stack and stackless enabled, Python-calling-Python is no longer
recursive in the C mp_execute_bytecode function.
The micropython.pystack_use() function is included to measure usage of the
Python stack.
This follows the pattern of how all other headers are now included, and
makes it explicit where the header file comes from. This patch also
removes -I options from Makefile's that specify the mp-readline/timeutils/
netutils directories, which are no longer needed.
A signal is like a pin, but ca also be inverted (active low). As such, it
abstracts properties of various physical devices, like LEDs, buttons,
relays, buzzers, etc. To instantiate a Signal:
pin = machine.Pin(...)
signal = machine.Signal(pin, inverted=True)
signal has the same .value() and __call__() methods as a pin.
This provides mp_vfs_XXX functions (eg mount, open, listdir) which are
agnostic to the underlying filesystem type, and just require an object with
the relevant filesystem-like methods (eg .mount, .open, .listidr) which can
then be mounted.
These mp_vfs_XXX functions would typically be used by a port to implement
the "uos" module, and mp_vfs_open would be the builtin open function.
This feature is controlled by MICROPY_VFS, disabled by default.
import utimeq, utime
# Max queue size, the queue allocated statically on creation
q = utimeq.utimeq(10)
q.push(utime.ticks_ms(), data1, data2)
res = [0, 0, 0]
# Items in res are filled up with results
q.pop(res)
This patch adds the MICROPY_EMIT_INLINE_XTENSA option, which, when
enabled, allows the @micropython.asm_xtensa decorator to be used.
The following opcodes are currently supported (ax is a register, a0-a15):
ret_n()
callx0(ax)
j(label)
jx(ax)
beqz(ax, label)
bnez(ax, label)
mov(ax, ay)
movi(ax, imm) # imm can be full 32-bit, uses l32r if needed
and_(ax, ay, az)
or_(ax, ay, az)
xor(ax, ay, az)
add(ax, ay, az)
sub(ax, ay, az)
mull(ax, ay, az)
l8ui(ax, ay, imm)
l16ui(ax, ay, imm)
l32i(ax, ay, imm)
s8i(ax, ay, imm)
s16i(ax, ay, imm)
s32i(ax, ay, imm)
l16si(ax, ay, imm)
addi(ax, ay, imm)
ball(ax, ay, label)
bany(ax, ay, label)
bbc(ax, ay, label)
bbs(ax, ay, label)
beq(ax, ay, label)
bge(ax, ay, label)
bgeu(ax, ay, label)
blt(ax, ay, label)
bnall(ax, ay, label)
bne(ax, ay, label)
bnone(ax, ay, label)
Upon entry to the assembly function the registers a0, a12, a13, a14 are
pushed to the stack and the stack pointer (a1) decreased by 16. Upon
exit, these registers and the stack pointer are restored, and ret.n is
executed to return to the caller (caller address is in a0).
Note that the ABI for the Xtensa emitters is non-windowing.
