ARM Compiler 6 supports GNU-style assembly with armclang. Instead of
relying on armasm with the legacy syntax, GCC except.S is updated so
that it can be used with ARM as well as GCC_ARM toolchains. CMake is
updated to use this version.
mbed-os consists of mbed-core and mbed-rtos
mbed-baremetal consists of mbed-core
The main change is for mbed-core. Changing from object library to be interface. This way it allows us to do the above to have 2 main targets for users to use.
This should be backward compatible change as mbed-os target we used contains the same files/options as previously set.
Fixes two errors produced on except.S by the IAR assembler (as seen in
issue #13200).
The first: "'ALIGN' is illegal. Use directive ALIGNROM or ALIGNRAM (the
first parameter is raised to the power of 2, the second is a 32-bit fill
value)."
Fixed by changing ALIGN to ALIGNROM 2 to align to a 4-byte boundary
(mirroring what ALIGN does in the ARM except.S).
The second (on THUMB): "Must be placed inside a section"
Fixed by moving THUMB after the SECTION directive so that it affects
that section.
Use correctly-typed external definition for the crash data region, and
eliminate unnecessary pointer indirection.
Results in a small ROM saving even with crash capture disabled, as there
was a pointer for the fault context store in either case. The pointer
isn't needed, as the context store location is fixed according to the
configuration flag.
Enabled heap_and_stack test for baremetal.
Added a test to check that global variables are initialised.
In mbed_sdk_boot:
- Added initialisation for mbed_stack_isr_start/size and mbed_heap_start/size for all toolchains.
- ARM toolchain:
- Added call to mbed_toolchain_init() to initialise global variables.
- Moved microlib initialisation code from mbed_retarget.cpp to mbed_sdk_boot.c.
- IAR toolchain: there is no equivalent to a software init hook that can be called. __low_level_init() was used but since this function is called before RAM initialisation, it cannot be used to initialize global variables. Defined a new __mbed_init() function called from IAR startup file instead.
If the fault handler was hit before the stdio console was used and
initialised, the initialisation code caused a "mutex in ISR" trap,
stopping the register dump from happening.
Temporarily set the `error_in_progress` flag at the top of the fault
handler, and restore it before calling `mbed_error`. Take the
opportunity to suppress fault dumps on recursive crashes, much as is
done inside `mbed_error`.
