To avoid races between the lwIP callbacks (lwIP RTOS task) and the Lua
handlers (LVM RTOS task), the data flow and ownership has been simplified
and cleaned up.
lwIP callbacks now have no visibility of the userdata struct. They are
limited to creating small event objects and task_post()ing them over
to the LVM "thread", passing ownership in doing so. The shared identifier
then becomes the struct netconn*.
On the LVM side, we keep a linked list of active userdata objects. This
allows us to retrieve the correct userdata when we get an event with
a netconn pointer. Because this list is only ever used within the LVM
task, no locking is necessary.
The old approach of stashing a userdata pointer into the 'socket' field
on the netconn has been removed entirely, as this was both not
thread/RTOS-task safe, and also interfered with the IDFs internal use
of the socket field (even when using only the netconn layer). As an
added benefit, this removed the need for all the SYS_ARCH_PROTECT()
locking stuff.
The need to track receive events before the corresponding userdata object
has been established has been removed by virtue of not reordering the
"accept" and the "recv" events any more (previously accepts were posted
with medium priority, while the receives where high priority, leading
to the observed reordering and associated headaches).
The workaround for IDF issue 784 has been removed as it is now not needed
and is in fact directly harmful as it results in a double-free. Yay for
getting rid of old workarounds!
DNS resolution code paths were merged for the two instances of "socket"
initiated resolves (connect/dns functions).
Also fixed an instance of using a stack variable for receiving the resolved
IP address, with said variable going out of scope before the DNS resolution
necessarily completed (hello, memory corruption!).
Where possible, moved to use the Lua allocator rather than plain malloc.
Finally, the NodeMCU task posting mechanism got a polish and an adjustment.
Given all the Bad(tm) that tends to happen if something fails task posting,
I went through a couple of iterations on how to avoid that. Alas, the
preferred solution of blocking non-LVM RTOS tasks until a slot is free
turned out to not be viable, as this easily resulted in deadlocks with the
lwIP stack. After much deliberation I settled on increasing the number of
available queue slots for the task_post() mechanism, but in the interest
of user control also now made it user configurable via Kconfig.
The netbuf_data() function only returns data from the first pbuf in the
chain. We need to use netbuf_first() and netbuf_next() to walk the
pbuf chain and act on each in turn.
* Leaner, meaner crypto module; now with HMAC
Based on my testing, mbedtls pulls in all its algorithm regardless of
whether the NodeMCU crypto module was using them or not. As such, the
space savings from omitting algorithms were only in the tens of bytes.
By switching to using the mbedtls generic message digest interface, the
crypto module itself could be shrunk in size and complexity. Despite
adding support for HMAC on all algorithms (plus including RIPEMD160),
this version is 330 bytes smaller.
* Updated crypto module docs.
* Removed superfluous brackets in crypto docs.
Copy-paste considered harmful... >.>
With the IDF asserting full control over the linker scripts and insisting on
the application description being the first entry in the .flash.rodata
section, or previous method of doing link-time arrays stopped working.
Why? Because the build patched in a SHA256 digest straight into our arrays.
With the limited language of the gcc linker scripts I could find no other
way of getting it in cleanly.
The IDF "linker fragments" support can not be made to work for our needs:
- no support for setting alignment before including objects
- no support for declaring symbols
- no support for adding our terminating zeros
- insists on grouping objects by lib rather than by declared grouping,
which means we could at most have a single link-time-array using
the IDF mechanism
- also does not like underscores in section names, but that's just an
annoyance
So, the least bad option that I could come up with was to use a project-wide
makefile snippet to add a target in-between the IDF's generation of the
esp32.project.ld file, and the linking of our NodeMCU.elf. In this target
we read in the esp32.project.ld linker script, check whether we have our
arrays in there, and if not rewrites the linker script.
Oh, and the esp32.project.ld file only came into existence on the IDF 3.3
branch, so I had to change up the IDF to the latest release/3.3 as well.
I would've preferred a stable tag, but the v3.3-beta3 had a really nasty
regression for us (can't add partition entry), so that was a no-go.

Created common.h with new option table helper fns.
* Reworked http.c to use new common.h options table APIs
* esp32: Reinstate tmr.now() function using esp_timer_get_time()
Also added larger limit before wrapping if Lua's number type supports
it.
* Renamed tmr.now() to node.uptime()
Added second return value to indicate timer wrap
- implement file.size for spiffs (#1516)
- fix vfs_lseek() result checking in enduser_setup and clarify SPIFFS_lseek() return value (#1570)
- Handle error condition in file.read() (#1599)
* #2521: Add object-based file API to dev-esp32 branch
Merged in from master@c708828bbe853764b9de58fb8113a70f5a24002d minus
some VFS changes and similar.
* Updated file docs from master
Omitting:
* file.mount()
* reference to rtctime.epoch2cal()
* file.stat()
As these are not available in dev-esp32 branch
Unsure about whether "directories are not supported" is still true
