* As a consequence, we don't know the maximum stack size until the end of pass 2.

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.

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.
