Interrupt based time. Adjust tick cost every 1 minute and when timer-0 is reconfigured (the time precision affected when timer-0 reconfigured). Keep all time in nanoseconds.
There were a few issues that were causing qemu-system-arm and
qemu-system-riscv to give the wrong exit codes. They are in fact capable
of exiting with 0 or 1 signalled from the running application, but this
functionality wasn't used. This commit changes this in the following
ways:
* It fixes SemiHosting codes, which were incorrectly written in
decimal while they should have been written in hexadecimal (oops!).
* It modifies all the baremetal main functions (aka reset handlers) to
exit with `exit(0)` instead of `abort()`.
* It changes `syscall.Exit` to call `exit(code)` instead of `abort()`
on baremetal targets.
* It adds these new exit functions where necessary, implemented in a
way that signals the correct exit status if running under QEMU.
All in all, this means that `tinygo test` doesn't have to look at the
output of a test to determine the outcome. It can simply look at the
exit code.
There is no reason to specialize this per chip as it is only ever used
for JavaScript. Not only that, it is causing confusion and is yet
another quirk to learn when porting the runtime to a new
microcontroller.
This commit refactors both determining the current time and sleeping for
a given time. It also improves precision for many chips.
* The nrf chips had a long-standing TODO comment about a slightly
inaccurate clock. This should now be fixed.
* The SAM D2x/D5x chips may have a slightly more accurate clock,
although probably within the error margin of the RTC. Also, by
working with RTC ticks and converting in the least number of places,
code size is often slightly reduced (usually just a few bytes, up to
around 1kB in some cases).
* I believe the HiFive1 rev B timer was slightly wrong (32768Hz vs
30517.6Hz). Because the datasheet says the clock runs at 32768Hz,
I've used the same conversion code here as in the nrf and sam cases.
* I couldn't test both stm32 timers, so I kept them as they currently
are. It may be possible to make them more efficient by using the
native tick frequency instead of using microseconds everywhere.
This is the kind that is used in Go (actually CGo) for exporting
functions. I think it's best to use //export instead of our custom
//go:export pragma, for consistency (they are equivalent in TinyGo).
Therefore I've updated all instances to the standard format (except for
two that are updated in https://github.com/tinygo-org/tinygo/pull/1024).
No smoke tests changed (when comparing the output hash), except for some
wasm tests that include DWARF debug info and tend to be flaky anyway.
An optimization introduced in a04db67ea9
seems to have broken arduino uno compiled hex. Setting optimzation
flags to 1, 2, or s builds proper hex binaries though.

See the following bug: https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42881
I think this is a bug in LLVM, but the code in question wasn't the best
code anyway. By fixing this, about 16 bytes of code are saved on ARM
chips (and much more on AVR).
Before this commit, goroutine support was spread through the compiler.
This commit changes this support, so that the compiler itself only
generates simple intrinsics and leaves the real support to a compiler
pass that runs as one of the TinyGo-specific optimization passes.
The biggest change, that was done together with the rewrite, was support
for goroutines in WebAssembly for JavaScript. The challenge in
JavaScript is that in general no blocking operations are allowed, which
means that programs that call time.Sleep() but do not start goroutines
also have to be scheduled by the scheduler.
Make sure every to-be-implemented GC can use the same interface. As a
result, a 1MB chunk of RAM is allocated on Unix systems on init instead
of allocating on demand.
Let each target handle its own initialization/finalization sequence
instead of providing one in the runtime with hooks for memory
initialization etc. This is much more flexible although it causes a
little bit of code duplication.
This increases code size by 1 instruction (2 bytes) because LLVM isn't
yet smart enough to recognize that it doesn't need to clear a register
to use 0: it can just use r1 which is always 0 according to the
convention. It makes initialization a lot easier to read, however.
time.Sleep now compiles on all systems, so lets use that.
Additionally, do a few improvements in time unit handling for the
scheduler. This should lead to somewhat longer sleep durations without
wrapping (on some platforms).
Some examples got smaller, some got bigger. In particular, code using
the scheduler got bigger and the blinky1 example got smaller (especially
on Arduino: 380 -> 314 bytes).
Don't store addresses in the values of registers, this leads to problems
with char arrays (among others). Instead, do it like it's done in C with
raw addresses cast to struct pointers.
This commit also splits gen-device.py, as AVR and ARM have very
different ideas of what a register is. It's easier to just keep them
separate.
This requires support in LLVM, as AVR support is still experimental. For
example, in bindings/go/build.sh, add
-DLLVM_EXPERIMENTAL_TARGETS_TO_BUILD=AVR to cmake_flags.
