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.

1. BLE only with 9(max) connection will decrease 3K DRAM
2. BR/EDR only with 7(max) connection will decrease 16K DRAM
3. Any of BLE or BR/EDR connection number decrease will also decrease DRAM consumption
4. Decrease one BLE connection will save about 1KB DRAM
5. Decrease one BR/EDR ACL connection will save about 1.2KB DRAM
6. Decrease one BR/EDR SCO/eSCO will save 2KB DRAM.
7. fix some definition and kconfig
8. remove 1.2k of vhci tx cache and make .bss & .data to heap about 1.4K
9. modify BT Reserved Memory size and modify example to support new bt kconfig
No longer necessary to keep all reserved addresses in 'soc'.
Means 'soc' does not need to know about 'bt', for example.
Also means that Bluetooth can be enabled in config without any memory being reserved for BT
controller. Only if code calling the BT controller is linked in, will this memory be reserved...
1. Modify esp_bt_controller_mem_release() to release BTDM BSS and Data to heap if
ESP_BT_MODE_BTDM mode is passed to it
2. Add a new API esp_bt_mem_release() which internally calls
esp_bt_controller_mem_release() with the provided mode and then if mode
is ESP_BT_MODE_BTDM, releases BT BSS and Data to heap.
Background:
For Wi-Fi and BT/BLE applications, for e.g. the usecase is like when
Bluetooth is used for provisioning and once the device is connected to the Wi-Fi
AP, we can turn off Bluetooth completely. In such scenarios, it should be possible to
reclaim all the memory of Bluetooth. Although, currently this does not
happen.
Experiment:
Made the following modifications to examples/bluetooth/gatt_server :
1. Added support of simple_wifi to it
2. Moved all the bluetooth related code under CONFIG_BT_ENABLED config
option
3. Calculated the free heap in 2 similar scenarios:
i. Disabled BT (CONFIG_BT_ENABLED undefined) and checked the free
heap after STA connected
ii. Kept BT enabled and disabled it after STA connected and checked
the free heap
Ideally, the numbers for i., ii. above should have been similar. But
there was a delta of almost 30-31K. (i. > ii.)
4. Through make size-components checked the common BSS for libbta.a and libbtdm_app.a
and found it to be almost 30K. Data is around 1K
Solution:
1. Modified the linker script to mark the BSS and Data for these libraries and
free it when ESP_BT_MODE_BTDM mode is passed to mem release APIs.
2. Verified that the free heap is comparable for i. and ii. above.
Note: It is known that once this is done, Bluetooth can only be used
again post reboot.
