Damien George afecc124e6 py: Fix location of VM returned exception in invalid opcode and comments
The location for a returned exception was changed to state[0] in
d95947b48a

Damien George d95947b48a py/vm: When VM raises exception put exc obj at beginning of func state.
Instead of at end of state, n_state - 1.  It was originally (way back in
v1.0) put at the end of the state because the VM didn't have a pointer to
the start.  But now that the VM takes a mp_code_state_t pointer it does
have a pointer to the start of the state so can put the exception object
there.

This commit saves about 30 bytes of code on all architectures, and, more
importantly, reduces C-stack usage by a couple of words (8 bytes on Thumb2
and 16 bytes on x86-64) for every (non-generator) call of a bytecode
function because fun_bc_call no longer needs to remember the n_state
variable.

Damien George 0c9d452370 py/vm: Fix case of throwing GeneratorExit type into yield-from.
mp_make_raise_obj must be used to convert a possible exception type to an
instance object, otherwise the VM may raise a non-exception object.

An existing test is adjusted to test this case, with the original test
already moved to generator_throw.py.

Damien George b735208403 py/vm: Fix handling of finally-return with complex nested finallys.
Back in 8047340d75 basic support was added in
the VM to handle return statements within a finally block.  But it didn't
cover all cases, in particular when some finally's were active and others
inactive when the "return" was executed.

This patch adds further support for return-within-finally by correctly
managing the currently_in_except_block flag, and should fix all cases.  The
main point is that finally handlers remain on the exception stack even if
they are active (currently being executed), and the unwind return code
should only execute those finally's which are inactive.

New tests are added for the cases which now pass.

Damien George 869024dd6e py/vm: Improve performance of opcode dispatch when using switch stmt.
Before this patch, when using the switch statement for dispatch in the VM
(not computed goto) a pending exception check was done after each opcode.
This is not necessary and this patch makes the pending exception check only
happen when explicitly requested by certain opcodes, like jump.  This
improves performance of the VM by about 2.5% when using the switch.

Damien George bc36521386 py/vm: Optimise handling of stackless mode when pystack is enabled.
When pystack is enabled mp_obj_fun_bc_prepare_codestate() will always
return a valid pointer, and if there is no more pystack available then it
will raise an exception (a RuntimeError).  So having pystack enabled with
stackless enabled automatically gives strict stackless mode.  There is
therefore no need to have code for strict stackless mode when pystack is
enabled, and this patch optimises the VM for such a case.

Damien George c7f880eda3 py/vm: Don't do unnecessary updates of ip and sp variables.
Neither the ip nor sp variables are used again after the execution of the
RAISE_VARARGS opcode, so they don't need to be updated.

Damien George a9f6d49218 py/vm: Simplify handling of special-case STOP_ITERATION in yield from.
There's no need to have MP_OBJ_NULL a special case, the code can re-use
the MP_OBJ_STOP_ITERATION value to signal the special case and the VM can
detect this with only one check (for MP_OBJ_STOP_ITERATION).

Damien George 22ade2f5c4 py/vm: Fix case of handling raised StopIteration within yield from.
This patch concerns the handling of an NLR-raised StopIteration, raised
during a call to mp_resume() which is handling the yield from opcode.

Previously, commit 6738c1dded introduced code
to handle this case, along with a test.  It seems that it was lucky that
the test worked because the code did not correctly handle the stack pointer
(sp).

Furthermore, commit 79d996a57b improved the
way mp_resume() propagated certain exceptions: it changed raising an NLR
value to returning MP_VM_RETURN_EXCEPTION.  This change meant that the
test introduced in gen_yield_from_ducktype.py was no longer hitting the
code introduced in 6738c1dded.

The patch here does two things:

1. Fixes the handling of sp in the VM for the case that yield from is
   interrupted by a StopIteration raised via NLR.

2. Introduces a new test to check this handling of sp and re-covers the
   code in the VM.

Damien George 73d1d20b46 py/objexcept: Remove long-obsolete mp_const_MemoryError_obj.
This constant exception instance was once used by m_malloc_fail() to raise
a MemoryError without allocating memory, but it was made obsolete long ago
by 3556e45711.  The functionality is now
replaced by the use of mp_emergency_exception_obj which lives in the global
uPy state, and which can handle any exception type, not just MemoryError.

Damien George 0c650d4276 py/vm: Simplify stack sentinel values for unwind return and jump.
This patch simplifies how sentinel values are stored on the stack when
doing an unwind return or jump.  Instead of storing two values on the stack
for an unwind jump it now stores only one: a negative small integer means
unwind-return and a non-negative small integer means unwind-jump with the
value being the number of exceptions to unwind.  The savings in code size
are:

   bare-arm:   -56
minimal x86:   -68
   unix x64:   -80
unix nanbox:    -4
      stm32:   -56

Damien George a3dc1b1957 all: Remove inclusion of internal py header files.
Header files that are considered internal to the py core and should not
normally be included directly are:
    py/nlr.h - internal nlr configuration and declarations
    py/bc0.h - contains bytecode macro definitions
    py/runtime0.h - contains basic runtime enums

Instead, the top-level header files to include are one of:
    py/obj.h - includes runtime0.h and defines everything to use the
        mp_obj_t type
    py/runtime.h - includes mpstate.h and hence nlr.h, obj.h, runtime0.h,
        and defines everything to use the general runtime support functions

Additional, specific headers (eg py/objlist.h) can be included if needed.

Damien George 016325dd0a py/vm: Make n_state variable local to just set-up part of VM.
It's not used anywhere else in the VM loop, and clashes with (is shadowed
by) the n_state variable that's redeclared towards the end of the
mp_execute_bytecode function.  Code size is unchanged.

Damien George a8a5d1e8c8 py: Provide mp_decode_uint_skip() to help reduce stack usage.
Taking the address of a local variable leads to increased stack usage, so
the mp_decode_uint_skip() function is added to reduce the need for taking
addresses.  The changes in this patch reduce stack usage of a Python call
by 8 bytes on ARM Thumb, by 16 bytes on non-windowing Xtensa archs, and by
16 bytes on x86-64.  Code size is also slightly reduced on most archs by
around 32 bytes.

This patch fixes a regression introduced by
71a3d6ec3b

Previous to this patch the n_state variable was referring to that computed
at the very start of the mp_execute_bytecode function.  This patch fixes it
so that n_state is recomputed when the code_state changes.

Damien George dd11af209d py: Add LOAD_SUPER_METHOD bytecode to allow heap-free super meth calls.
This patch allows the following code to run without allocating on the heap:

    super().foo(...)

Before this patch such a call would allocate a super object on the heap and
then load the foo method and call it right away.  The super object is only
needed to perform the lookup of the method and not needed after that.  This
patch makes an optimisation to allocate the super object on the C stack and
discard it right after use.

Changes in code size due to this patch are:

   bare-arm: +128
    minimal: +232
   unix x64: +416
unix nanbox: +364
     stmhal: +184

Damien George 60656eaea4 py: Define and use MP_OBJ_ITER_BUF_NSLOTS to get size of stack iter buf.
It improves readability of code and reduces the chance to make a mistake.

This patch also fixes a bug with nan-boxing builds by rounding up the
calculation of the new NSLOTS variable, giving the correct number of slots
(being 4) even if mp_obj_t is larger than the native machine size.

Damien George 1a5c8d1053 py/vm: Don't release the GIL if the scheduler is locked.
The scheduler being locked general means we are running a scheduled
function, and switching to another thread violates that, so don't switch in
such a case (even though we technically could).

And if we are running a scheduled function then we want to finish it ASAP,
so we shouldn't switch to another thread.

Furthermore, ports with threading enabled will lock the scheduler during a
hard IRQ, and this patch to the VM will make sure that threads are not
switched during a hard IRQ (which would crash the VM).

Damien George 5640e6dacd py: Provide mp_decode_uint_value to help optimise stack usage.
This has a noticeable improvement on x86-64 and Thumb2 archs, where stack

Damien George 71a3d6ec3b py: Reduce size of mp_code_state_t structure.
Instead of caching data that is constant (code_info, const_table and
n_state), store just a pointer to the underlying function object from which
this data can be derived.

This helps reduce stack usage for the case when the mp_code_state_t
structure is stored on the stack, as well as heap usage when it's stored
on the heap.

The downside is that the VM becomes a little more complex because it now
needs to derive the data from the underlying function object.  But this
doesn't impact the performance by much (if at all) because most of the
decoding of data is done outside the main opcode loop.  Measurements using
pystone show that little to no performance is lost.

This patch also fixes a nasty bug whereby the bytecode can be reclaimed by
the GC during execution.  With this patch there is always a pointer to the
function object held by the VM during execution, since it's stored in the
mp_code_state_t structure.

Damien George f040685b0c py: Only store the exception instance on Py stack in bytecode try block.
When an exception is raised and is to be handled by the VM, it is stored
on the Python value stack so the bytecode can access it.  CPython stores
3 objects on the stack for each exception: exc type, exc instance and
traceback.  uPy followed this approach, but it turns out not to be
necessary.  Instead, it is enough to store just the exception instance on
the Python value stack.  The only place where the 3 values are needed
explicitly is for the __exit__ handler of a with-statement context, but
for these cases the 3 values can be extracted from the single exception
instance.

This patch removes the need to store 3 values on the stack, and instead
just stores the exception instance.

Code size is reduced by about 50-100 bytes, the compiler and VM are
slightly simpler, generate bytecode is smaller (by 2 bytes for each try
block), and the Python value stack is reduced in size for functions that
handle exceptions.

Damien George adaf0d865c py: Combine 3 comprehension opcodes (list/dict/set) into 1.
With the previous patch combining 3 emit functions into 1, it now makes
sense to also combine the corresponding VM opcodes, which is what this
patch does.  This eliminates 2 opcodes which simplifies the VM and reduces
code size, in bytes: bare-arm:44, minimal:64, unix(NDEBUG,x86-64):272,
stmhal:92, esp8266:200.  Profiling (with a simple script that creates many
list/dict/set comprehensions) shows no measurable change in performance.
