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.

If a non-string buffer was passed to execfile, then it would be passed
as a non-null-terminated char* to mp_lexer_new_from_file.
This changes mp_lexer_new_from_file to take a qstr instead (as in almost
all cases a qstr will be created from this input anyway to set the
`__file__` attribute on the module).
This now makes execfile require a string (not generic buffer) argument,
which is probably a good fix to make anyway.
Fixes issue #12522.

Code in tools/mpy-tool.py and py/frozenmod.c relies on the source file
path encoded in a .mpy file to have forward slashes (e.g. by searching
for '/__init__.py'). Enforce that when creating these files, thereby
fixing import of .mpy files and frozen modules not working before
because they could have backslashes when built with the windows port.
This change makes it so the compiler and persistent code loader take a
mp_compiled_module_t* as their last argument, instead of returning this
struct. This eliminates a duplicate context variable for all callers of
these functions (because the context is now stored in the
mp_compiled_module_t by the caller), and also eliminates any confusion
about which context to use after the mp_compile_to_raw_code or
mp_raw_code_load function returns (because there is now only one context,
that stored in mp_compiled_module_t.context).
Reduces code size by 16 bytes on ARM Cortex-based ports.

If `-march` isn't set then it means the user hasn't thought about it, or in
the case of freezing, MPY_CROSS_FLAGS isn't set. It's almost certainly
going to lead to problems, as there's no reason why the host architecture
is likely to be the right choice.
Compiling regular Python code is unaffected, but if `@native`/`@viper` is
used, the compiler will raise `SyntaxError: invalid arch`.
For situations where you explicitly want to use the host architecture (e.g.
for running tests on the unix port), added -march=host that keeps the old
behavior.

This makes it so that all a port needs to do is set the relevant variables
and "include extmod.mk" and doesn't need to worry about adding anything to
OBJ, CFLAGS, SRC_QSTR, etc.
Make all extmod variables (src, flags, etc) private to extmod.mk.
Also move common/shared, extmod-related fragments (e.g. wiznet, cyw43,
bluetooth) into extmod.mk.
Now that SRC_MOD, CFLAGS_MOD, CXXFLAGS_MOD are unused by both extmod.mk
(and user-C-modules in a previous commit), remove all uses of them from
port makefiles.

The intent is to allow us to make breaking changes to the native ABI (e.g.
changes to dynruntime.h) without needing the bytecode version to increment.
With this commit the two bits previously used for the feature flags (but
now unused as of .mpy version 6) encode a sub-version. A bytecode-only
.mpy file can be loaded as long as MPY_VERSION matches, but a native .mpy
(i.e. one with an arch set) must also match MPY_SUB_VERSION. This allows 3
additional updates to the native ABI per bytecode revision.
The sub-version is set to 1 because the previous commits that changed the
layout of mp_obj_type_t have changed the native ABI.

Prior to this commit, even with unicode disabled .py and .mpy files could
contain unicode characters, eg by entering them directly in a string as
utf-8 encoded.
The only thing the compiler disallowed (with unicode disabled) was using
\uxxxx and \Uxxxxxxxx notation to specify a character within a string with
value >= 0x100; that would give a SyntaxError.
With this change mpy-cross will now accept \u and \U notation to insert a
character with value >= 0x100 into a string (because the -mno-unicode
option is now gone, there's no way to forbid this). The runtime will
happily work with strings with such characters, just like it already works
with strings with characters that were utf-8 encoded directly.
This change simplifies things because there are no longer any feature
flags in .mpy files, and any bytecode .mpy will now run on any target.

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.
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.

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):

This implements (most of) the PEP-498 spec for f-strings and is based on
https://github.com/micropython/micropython/pull/4998 by @klardotsh.
It is implemented in the lexer as a syntax translation to `str.format`:
f"{a}" --> "{}".format(a)
It also supports:
f"{a=}" --> "a={}".format(a)
This is done by extracting the arguments into a temporary vstr buffer,
then after the string has been tokenized, the lexer input queue is saved
and the contents of the temporary vstr buffer are injected into the lexer
instead.
There are four main limitations:
- raw f-strings (`fr` or `rf` prefixes) are not supported and will raise
`SyntaxError: raw f-strings are not supported`.
- literal concatenation of f-strings with adjacent strings will fail
"{}" f"{a}" --> "{}{}".format(a) (str.format will incorrectly use
the braces from the non-f-string)
f"{a}" f"{a}" --> "{}".format(a) "{}".format(a) (cannot concatenate)
- PEP-498 requires the full parser to understand the interpolated
argument, however because this entirely runs in the lexer it cannot
resolve nested braces in expressions like
f"{'}'}"
- The !r, !s, and !a conversions are not supported.

The "word" referred to by BYTES_PER_WORD is actually the size of mp_obj_t
which is not always the same as the size of a pointer on the target
architecture. So rename this config value to better reflect what it
measures, and also prefix it with MP_.
For uses of BYTES_PER_WORD in setting the stack limit this has been
changed to sizeof(void *), because the stack usually grows with
machine-word sized values (eg an nlr_buf_t has many machine words in it).

This should be enabled when the mp_raw_code_save_file function is needed.
It is enabled for mpy-cross, and a check for defined(__APPLE__) is added to
cover Mac M1 systems.
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.
Note: the uncrustify configuration is explicitly set to 'add' instead of
'force' in order not to alter the comments which use extra spaces after //
as a means of indenting text for clarity.
Change mp_uint_t to size_t to match the mp_print_strn_t function prototype.
This fixes a compiler warning when mp_uint_t and size_t are not the same
size.
