This function is called when a hard fault occurs. Hard faults happen
when something really bad happens - like writing to unwritable memory or
an unaligned memory access on Cortex-M0. It is not generally possible to
recover from these.
This commit optimizes the code size overhead of hard fault handling:
* It removes the stack overflow checking code.
This may seem like a bad thing, but the only thing this could check
were stack overflows outside goroutines. In practice, this could
only really happen on a stack overflow in the scheduler (unlikely),
or in interrupt code (possible, but interrupts are small so still
unlikely). Most stack overflows happen in regular goroutines, and
weren't caught in the HardFault.
* It makes the panic message similar to a regular panic. This has two
advantages:
* It reduces code size, because the string can be reused between
the HardFault handler and the runtime panic function.
* Using the same pattern automatically makes `-monitor` print the
source address for the hard fault. Not a big benefit as we could
trivially add any other pattern but a nice benefit nonetheless.

panic: runtime error at 0x00000344: HardFault with sp=0x200007d0
[tinygo: panic at /home/ayke/src/tinygo/tinygo/src/internal/task/task_stack_cortexm.go:48:4]
(This is with https://github.com/tinygo-org/tinygo/pull/3680 not yet
fixed and some local changes to configure the UART so I can actually see
the panic).
For atsamd21/nrf51 chips this results in a binary size reduction of
around 100 bytes. For other Cortex-M chips it's around 24 bytes but I
hope to change this in the future because a lot of the fault decoding in
runtime_cortexm_hardfault_debug.go should IMHO be done by the TinyGo
monitor instead (I estimate that this would save around 800 bytes on
these chips).
This switches the Espressif fork from LLVM 19 to LLVM 20, so we can use
the improvements made between those LLVM versions. It also better aligns
with the system-LLVM build method, which currently also defaults to LLVM
20.
Note that this disables the machine outliner for RISC-V. It appears
there's a bug in there somewhere, with the machine outliner enabled the
crypto/elliptic package tests fail with -target=riscv-qemu.
This should ideally be investigated and reported upstream.
Account for the sleep queue base time in the computation of the wakeup
time.
Tested with the following program on pico2.
func main() {
go func() {
for i := range 60 {
const delay = 20 * time.Millisecond
before := time.Now()
time.Sleep(delay)
if d := time.Since(before); true || d < delay {
log.Println(i, "actual", d, "delay", delay)
}
}
}()
time.Sleep(500 * time.Millisecond)
log.Println("******** done sleeping ********")
select {}
}
Without this change, the program would print lines such as:
17 actual 15.494ms delay 20ms
18 actual 15.49ms delay 20ms
19 actual 15.585ms delay 20ms
20 actual 15.493ms delay 20ms
21 actual 15.494ms delay 20ms
22 actual 15.487ms delay 20ms
23 actual 15.498ms delay 20ms
******** done sleeping ********
24 actual 15.548ms delay 20ms
25 actual 20.011ms delay 20ms
26 actual 20.01ms delay 20ms
27 actual 20.011ms delay 20ms
28 actual 20.015ms delay 20ms
Note that while more than one sleeping goroutine is in the timer queue,
the sleep duration is 5ms short.
This commit adds support for a scheduler that runs a scheduler on all
available cores. It is meant to be used on baremetal systems with a
fixed number of cores, such as the RP2040.
The initial implementation adds support for multicore scheduling to the
riscv-qemu target as a convenient testing target. This means that this
new multicore scheduler is tested in CI, including a bunch of standard
library tests (`make tinygo-test-baremetal`). This should ensure the new
scheduler is reasonably well tested before trying to use it on
harder-to-debug targets like the RP2040.
The system stack is only needed when we're not on it. So we can directly
call task.SystemStack() without problems.
This also saves a tiny bit of binary size.
Without this change, a pending interrupt would spuriously trigger
immediately after enabling. This happens if an interrupt is triggered
during flashing (e.g. by DMA), which survives the subsequent reset.
This behaviour matches e.g. `machine.irqSet` in machine_rp2_rp2350.go.
See 7f970a45, whose symptoms were likely caused by spurious interrupts.
This ensures:
1. The xorshift state is initialized during interp.
2. The xorshift state gets initialized to a real random number on
hardware that supports it at runtime.
This fixes a big binary size regression from the previous commit. It's
still not perfect: most programs increase binary size by a few bytes.
But it's not nearly as bad as before.
Use the alignment from the align attribute of the runtime.alloc call.
This is going to be a more accurate alignment, and is typically smaller
than the default.
This is similar to https://github.com/tinygo-org/tinygo/pull/3899, but
smaller and hopefully just as efficient.
Thanks to @HattoriHanzo031 for starting this work, benchmarking, and for
improving the performance of the code even further.
Every time we overflow the stack, we have to do a full rescan of the heap. Making this larger
means fewer overflows and thus fewer secondary+ heap scans.
The old LLVM pass manager is deprecated and should not be used anymore.
Moreover, the pass manager builder (which we used to set up a pass
pipeline) is actually removed from LLVM entirely in LLVM 17:
https://reviews.llvm.org/D145387https://reviews.llvm.org/D145835
The new pass manager does change the binary size in many cases: both
growing and shrinking it. However, on average the binary size remains
more or less the same.
This is needed as a preparation for LLVM 17.
This commit adds support for LLVM 16 and switches to it by default. That
means three LLVM versions are supported at the same time: LLVM 14, 15,
and 16.
This commit includes work by QuLogic:
* Part of this work was based on a PR by QuLogic:
https://github.com/tinygo-org/tinygo/pull/3649
But I also had parts of this already implemented in an old branch I
already made for LLVM 16.
* QuLogic also provided a CGo fix here, which is also incorporated in
this commit:
https://github.com/tinygo-org/tinygo/pull/3869
The difference with the original PR by QuLogic is that this commit is
more complete:
* It switches to LLVM 16 by default.
* It updates some things to also make it work with a self-built LLVM.
* It fixes the CGo bug in a slightly different way, and also fixes
another one not included in the original PR.
* It does not keep compiler tests passing on older LLVM versions. I
have found this to be quite burdensome and therefore don't generally
do this - the smoke tests should hopefully catch most regressions.
This is not very useful in itself, but makes it possible to detect this
address in the output. See the next commit.
This adds around 50 bytes to each binary (except for AVR and wasm). This
is unfortunate, but I think this feature is quite useful still.
A future enhancement might be to create a build tag for extended panic
information that's not set by default.
This test only applies when using the built-in LLVM version. This way,
we have a stable LLVM version to test against. Distribution versions of
LLVM (especially Debian) tend to be patched in a way that affect the
results.
