Since dd849ffc, _rodata_start label has been moved to a different
linker output section from where the TLS templates (.tdata, .tbss)
are located. Since link-time addresses of thread-local variables are
calculated relative to the section start address, this resulted in
incorrect calculation of THREADPTR/$tp registers.
Fix by introducing new linker label, _flash_rodata_start, which points
to the .flash.rodata output section where TLS variables are located,
and use it when calculating THREADPTR/$tp.
Also remove the hardcoded rodata section alignment for Xtensa targets.
Alignment of rodata can be affected by the user application, which is
the issue dd849ffc was fixing. To accommodate any possible alignment,
save it in a linker label (_flash_rodata_align) and then use when
calculating THREADPTR. Note that this is not required on RISC-V, since
this target doesn't use TPOFF.
It is now possible to have any alignment restriction on rodata in the user
applicaiton. It will not affect the first section which must be aligned
on a 16-byte bound.

The CPU might prefetch instructions, which means it in some cases
will try to fetch instruction located after the last instruction in
flash.text.
Add dummy bytes to ensure fetching these wont result in an error,
e.g. MMU exceptions
Include external ram section in the linker template to process it
through linker script generation mechanism. This enables redirection of .bss section to external memory using linker fragments

The remaining 4 kB had been reserved for storing RF calibration and
BT stack state since 4e092be6. However, these features never got
implemented. If we ever need to place RF related data into RTC slow
memory, we can do this by creating a variable with RTC_NOINIT_ATTR
instead.

This commit adds TWAI driver support for the
ESP32-S2. The following features were added:
- Expanded BRP support
- Expanded CLKOUT Divider Support
- Updated example READMEs
1. Clarify THREADPTR calculation in FreeRTOS code, explaining where
the constant 0x10 offset comes from.
2. On the ESP32-S2, .flash.rodata section had different default
alignment (8 bytes instead of 16), which resulted in different offset
of the TLS sections. Unfortunately I haven’t found a way to query
section alignment from C code, or to use a constant value to define
section alignment in the linker script. The linker scripts are
modified to force a fixed 16 byte alignment for .flash.rodata on the
ESP32 and ESP32-S2beta. Note that the base address of .flash.rodata
was already 16 byte aligned, so this has not changed the actual
memory layout of the application.
Full explanation of the calculation below.
Assume we have the TLS template section base address
(tls_section_vma), the address of a TLS variable in the template
(address), and the final relocation value (offset). The linker
calculates:
offset = address - tls_section_vma + align_up(TCB_SIZE, alignment).
At run time, the TLS section gets copied from _thread_local_start
(in .rodata) to task_thread_local_start. Let’s assume that an address
of a variable in the runtime TLS section is runtime_address.
Access to this address will happen by calculating THREADPTR + offset.
So, by a series of substitutions:
THREADPTR + offset = runtime_address THREADPTR = runtime_address - offset
THREADPTR = runtime_address - (address - tls_section_vma + align_up(TCB_SIZE, alignment)) THREADPTR = (runtime_address - address) + tls_section_vma - align_up(TCB_SIZE, alignment)
The difference between runtime_address and address is same as the
difference between task_thread_local_start and _thread_local_start.
And tls_section_vma is the address of .rodata section, i.e.
_rodata_start. So we arrive to
THREADPTR = task_thread_local_start - _thread_local_start + _rodata_start - align_up(TCB_SIZE, alignment).
The idea with TCB_SIZE being added to the THREADPTR when computing
the relocation was to let the OS save TCB pointer in the TREADPTR
register. The location of the run-time TLS section was assumed to be
immediately after the TCB, aligned to whatever the section alignment
was. However in our case the problem is that the run-time TLS section
is stored not next to the TCB, but at the top of the stack. Plus,
even if it was stored next to the TCB, the size of a FreeRTOS TCB is
not equal to 8 bytes (TCB_SIZE hardcoded in the linker). So we have
to calculate THREADPTR in a slightly obscure way, to compensate for
these differences.
Closes IDF-1239

This change allows RTTI to be enabled in menuconfig. For full RTTI
support, libstdc++.a in the toolchain should be built without
-fno-rtti, as it is done now.
Generally if libstdc++.a is built with RTTI, applications which do not
use RTTI (and build with -fno-rtti) could still include typeinfo
structures referenced from STL classes’ vtables. This change works
around this, by moving all typeinfo structures from libstdc++.a into
a non-loadable section, placed into a non-existent memory region
starting at address 0. This can be done because when the application
is compiled with -fno-rtti, typeinfo structures are not used at run
time. This way, typeinfo structures do not contribute to the
application binary size.
If the application is build with RTTI support, typeinfo structures are
linked into the application .rodata section as usual.
Note that this commit does not actually enable RTTI support.
The respective Kconfig option is hidden, and will be made visible when
the toolchain is updated.
This saves time when waking up from deep sleep, but potentially decreases
the security of the system. If the application able to modify itself
(especially areas that are loaded into RAM) in flash while running
without crashing or is modifies the cached bits of information about
what was last booted from the bootloader, this could cause security
issues if the user does a "deep sleep reset" since the full validation
is skipped.

Removes the need to know/guess the paths to these libraries. Once we are gcc 8 only, we
can remove -nostdlib and no additional arguments are needed for system libraries.
The catch is: any time IDF overrides a symbol in the toolchain sysroot, we need
an undefined linker marker to make sure this symbol is seen by linker.
1. separate rom include files and linkscript to esp_rom
2. modefiy "include rom/xxx.h" to "include esp32/rom/xxx.h"
3. Forward compatible
4. update mqtt
Linker script generator produces build/esp32/esp32.common.ld from
components/esp32/ld/esp32.common.ld.in
This works fine until IDF is downgraded to V3.1 which uses components/esp32/ld/esp32.common.ld and
doesn't track build/esp32/esp32.common.ld at all.
At this point, the linker runs in the build/esp32 directory and "-T esp32.common.ld" picks up the
linker script generated .ld file, which causes mis-builds.

* Prevents section type conflict errors if (say) const & non-const data
is put into the same section (ie with DRAM_ATTR)
* Allows linker --gc-sections to remove unused custom sections
