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
Ref. https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/issues/1684
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
Added a new structure esp_app_desc_t. It has info about firmware:
version, secure_version, project_name, time/date build and IDF version.
Added the ability to add a custom structure with a description of the firmware.
The esp_app_desc_t is located in fixed place in start of ROM secotor. It is located after structures esp_image_header_t and esp_image_segment_header_t.
app_version is filed from PROJECT_VER variable (if set in custom make file) or PROJECT_PATH/version.txt or git repo (git describe).
Add API to get app_desc from partition.
1. When WIFI task or other high priority task blocks the Bluetooth task, ACL RX buffer will use up, ACL RX buffer ptr will point to null and will never point to a valid adress. Causing errors in Bluetooth.
2. hcimsgs.h used whether flow control is on or off
In earlier change this component was decoupled from freertos and hence
regression was introduced which changed default placement to flash. Some
device drivers make use of ringbuffer while flash cache is being disabled
and hence default placement should instead be internal memory.

In some cases, linker could choose to use ROM functions instead of the
ones defined in IDF.
For functions used in ROM stub table, this would lead to infinite
recursion when the corresponding function was called from ROM.
For crypto functions, some of these were modified in IDF, and
incompatible with ROM counterparts.
Changes:
KConfig: The option CONFIG_ESP32_RTCDATA_IN_FAST_MEM is added in Kconfig file for esp32 component.
esp32.common.ld: added support of RTC_DATA_ATTR, RTC_RODATA_ATTR data placement into appropriate segment according to Kconfig option.
esp32.ld: linker script is modified to set alias for memory segment selected by Kconfig option to place data. The segments for force placement are added for RTC_FAST_ATTR, RTC_SLOW_ATTR attributes.
esp_attr.h: added new attributes RTC_FAST_ATTR, RTC_SLOW_ATTR for force placement into fest/slow memory.
test_rtc_fast.c: Added unit test cases to check data placement into appropriate memory segment.
Updated documentation for RTC_DATA_ATTR, RTC_FAST_ATTR, RTC_SLOW_ATTR in deep_sleep_stub.rst file.
