820485358d unix/coverage: Add coverage test for mp_sched_schedule_node.
Test modified to reschedule itself based on a flag setting. Without the
change in the parent commit, this test executes the callback indefinitely
and hangs but with the change it runs only once each time
mp_handle_pending() is called.

This commit adds a new `RingIO` type which exposes the internal ring-buffer
code for general use in Python programs.  It has the stream interface
making it similar to `StringIO` and `BytesIO`, except `RingIO` has a fixed
buffer size and is automatically safe when reads and writes are in
different threads or an IRQ.

This new type is enabled at the "extra features" ROM level.

557d31ed2c py/objint: Try to convert big-int back to small-int after binary op.
Before this change, long/mpz ints propagated into all future calculations,
even if their value could fit in a small-int object.  With this change, the
result of a big-int binary op will now be converted to a small-int object
if the value fits in a small-int.

For example, a relatively common operation like `x = a * b // c` where
a,b,c all small ints would always result in a long/mpz int, even if it
didn't need to, and then this would impact all future calculations with
x.

This adds +24 bytes on PYBV11 but avoids heap allocations and potential
surprises (e.g. `big-big` is now a small `0`, and can safely be accessed
with MP_OBJ_SMALL_INT_VALUE).

Performance tests are unchanged on PYBV10, except for `bm_pidigits.py`
which makes heavy use of big-ints and gains about 8% in speed.

Unix coverage tests have been updated to cover mpz code that is now
unreachable by normal Python code (removing the unreachable code would lead
to some surprising gaps in the internal C functions and the functionality
may be needed in the future, so it is kept because it has minimal
overhead).

decf8e6a8b all: Remove the "STATIC" macro and just use "static" instead.
The STATIC macro was introduced a very long time ago in commit
d5df6cd44a.  The original reason for this was
to have the option to define it to nothing so that all static functions
become global functions and therefore visible to certain debug tools, so
one could do function size comparison and other things.

This STATIC feature is rarely (if ever) used.  And with the use of LTO and
heavy inline optimisation, analysing the size of individual functions when
they are not static is not a good representation of the size of code when
fully optimised.

So the macro does not have much use and it's simpler to just remove it.
Then you know exactly what it's doing.  For example, newcomers don't have
to learn what the STATIC macro is and why it exists.  Reading the code is
also less "loud" with a lowercase static.

One other minor point in favour of removing it, is that it stops bugs with
`STATIC inline`, which should always be `static inline`.

Methodology for this commit was:

1) git ls-files | egrep '\.[ch]$' | \
   xargs sed -Ei "s/(^| )STATIC($| )/\1static\2/"

2) Do some manual cleanup in the diff by searching for the word STATIC in
   comments and changing those back.

3) "git-grep STATIC docs/", manually fixed those cases.

4) "rg -t python STATIC", manually fixed codegen lines that used STATIC.

b6a9778484 py/misc: Change sizeof to offsetof for variable-length alloc.
This fixes the case where e.g.

    struct foo_t {
      mp_obj_t x;
      uint16_t y;
      char buf[];
    };

will have `sizeof(struct foo_t)==8`, but `offsetof(struct foo_t, buf)==6`.

When computing the size to allocate for `m_new_obj_var` we need to use
offsetof to avoid over-allocating. This is important especially when it
might cause it to spill over into another GC block.

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.

5020b14d54 py/mpprint: Fix length calculation for strings with precision-modifier.
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
and padding specifiers.

98a3911c43 py/scheduler: Add "raise_exc" argument to mp_handle_pending.
Previous behaviour is when this argument is set to "true", in which case
the function will raise any pending exception.  Setting it to "false" will
cancel any pending exception.

a5f5552a0a tests/unix/extra_coverage: Don't test stream objs with NULL write fun.
This behaviour of a NULL write C method on a stream that uses the write
adaptor objects is no longer supported.  It was only ever used by the
coverage build for testing the fail path of mp_get_stream_raise().

c607b58efe tests: Move heap-realloc-while-locked test from C to Python.
This test for calling gc_realloc() while the GC is locked can be done in
pure Python, so better to do it that way since it can then be tested on
more ports.

62be14d77c tests/unix: Add coverage tests for mpz_set_from_float, mpz_mul_inpl.
These new tests cover cases that can't be reached from Python and get
coverage of py/mpz.c to 100%.

These "unreachable from Python" pieces of code could be removed but they
form an integral part of the mpz C API and may be useful for non-Python
usage of mpz.

4601759bf5 py/objstr: Remove "make_qstr_if_not_already" arg from mp_obj_new_str.
This patch simplifies the str creation API to favour the common case of
creating a str object that is not forced to be interned.  To force
interning of a new str the new mp_obj_new_str_via_qstr function is added,
and should only be used if warranted.

Apart from simplifying the mp_obj_new_str function (and making it have the
same signature as mp_obj_new_bytes), this patch also reduces code size by a
bit (-16 bytes for bare-arm and roughly -40 bytes on the bare-metal archs).

ede8a0235b py/vstr: Raise a RuntimeError if fixed vstr buffer overflows.
Current users of fixed vstr buffers (building file paths) assume that there
is no overflow and do not check for overflow after building the vstr.  This
has the potential to lead to NULL pointer dereferences
(when vstr_null_terminated_str returns NULL because it can't allocate RAM
for the terminating byte) and stat'ing and loading invalid path names (due
to the path being truncated).  The safest and simplest thing to do in these
cases is just raise an exception if a write goes beyond the end of a fixed
vstr buffer, which is what this patch does.  It also simplifies the vstr
code.

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.
