Implements text, rodata and bss generalised relocations, as well as generic
qstr-object linking. This allows importing dynamic native modules on all
supported architectures in a unified way.
The size of the event ringbuf was previously fixed to compile-time config
value, but it's necessary to sometimes increase this for applications that
have large characteristic buffers to read, or many events at once.
With this commit the size can be set via BLE.config(rxbuf=512), for
example. This also resizes the internal event data buffer which sets the
maximum size of incoming data passed to the event handler.
This allows the user to explicitly select the behaviour of the write to the
remote peripheral. This is needed for peripherals that have
characteristics with WRITE_NO_RESPONSE set (instead of normal WRITE). The
function's signature is now:
BLE.gattc_write(conn_handle, value_handle, data, mode=0)
mode=0 means write without response, while mode=1 means write with
response. The latter was the original behaviour so this commit is a change
in behaviour of this method, and one should specify 1 as the 4th argument
to get back the old behaviour.
In the future there could be more modes supported, such as long writes.
The default protection for the BLE ringbuf is to use
MICROPY_BEGIN_ATOMIC_SECTION, which disables all interrupts. On stm32 it
only needs to disable the lowest priority IRQ, pendsv, because that's the
IRQ level at which the BLE stack is driven.
This removes the limit on data coming in from a BLE.gattc_read() request,
or a notify with payload (coming in to a central). In both cases the data
coming in to the BLE callback is now limited only by the available data in
the ringbuf, whereas before it was capped at (default hard coded) 20 bytes.
Instead of enqueue_irq() inspecting the ringbuf to decide whether to
schedule the IRQ callback (if ringbuf is empty), maintain a flag that knows
if the callback is on the schedule queue or not. This saves about 150
bytes of code (for stm32 builds), and simplifies all uses of enqueue_irq()
and schedule_ringbuf().
