Implements support for system level traces compatible with SEGGER
SystemView tool on top of ESP32 application tracing module.
That kind of traces can help to analyse program's behaviour.
SystemView can show timeline of tasks/ISRs execution, context switches,
statistics related to the CPUs' load distribution etc.
Also this commit adds useful feature to ESP32 application tracing module:
- Trace data buffering is implemented to handle temporary peaks of events load
Updated test case to include configASSERT cases (+1 squashed commits)

[871ec26f] Freertos:Bugfix uxTaskGetSystemState
Bug (github #12142) with uxTaskGetSystemState where
if called immediately after creating a bunch of tasks,
those tasks would be added twice into the TaskStatusArray.
Bug caused due to use old implementation using vTaskSuspendAll
which did not stop newly created task on other core from accessing the
read/waiting task lists whilst the list were being read by
uxTaskGetSystemState. Fixed bug by replacing vTaskSuspendAll
with taskENTER_CRITICAL and added test case for the bugfix
xPendingReadyList[1] was never initialised correctly, so if a task is added to this list (ie by xSemaphoreGiveFromISR()
or similar) while scheduler is disabled, then it causes a null pointer dereference.
Bug produces stack traces similar to:

Make internal stack size variables in FreeRTOS 32-bit instead of 16-bit
Stock FreeRTOS uses an uint16 to store stack sizes, making it impossible to allocate a stack >64K. This changes this into an uint32, allowing for larger stacks.

Assert when a new task is started on a nonexisting CPU
Previously, starting a task on a CPU ID higher than the amount of CPUs FreeRTOS is configured with would not start the task and possibly have unintended side effects due to some out-of-bounds array writes. Assert on this so the app aborts cleanly.

When functions in queue.c calls listLIST_IS_EMPTY() to check queue event list, the queue list is
protected by queue mutex, on the other hand, when xTaskIncrementTick() modify the queue list, the
queue list is protected by xTaskQueueMutex, this may cause xTaskRemoveFromEventList operate on
the empty queue list and cause problem. This commit is to fix this bug.
may cause
The block which dispatches ticks on CPU1 was a copy of the code block
for the normal path (CPU0). It used to check uxPendedTicks, with the
logic that uxPendedTicks can be 0 iff the scheduler is not suspended.
On CPU1 however, uxPendedTicks is not related to the state of the
scheduler (as uxPendedTicks is updated on CPU0). Due to this, if CPU0
scheduler was suspended, and uxPendedTicks happened to be nonzero,
tick hooks on CPU1 didn’t run, even though CPU1 scheduler was working.
This change removes the check for uxPendedTicks in CPU1 code path,
so that the tick hooks on CPU1 always get called (as for the CPU0 code
path).
1) PS is fixed up to allow GDB backtrace to work properly
2) MR!341 discussion: in core dump module: esp_panicPutXXX was replaced by ets_printf.
3) MR!341 discussion: core dump flash magic number was changed.
4) MR!341 discussion: SPI flash access API was redesigned to allow flexible critical section management.
5) test app for core dump feature was added
6) fixed base64 file reading issues on Windows platform
7) now raw bin core file is deleted upon core loader failure by epscoredump.py
Complimentary changes:
1) Partition table definitions files with core dump partition
2) Special sub-type for core dump partition
3) Special version of spi_flash_xxx
4) espcoredump.py is script to get core dump from flash and print useful info
5) FreeRTOS API was extended to get tasks snapshots
This commit fixes:
1. xTaskGetCurrentTaskHandle may return wrong TCB when current task switch to a different core
2. Idle task may have problem when it terminate the task in both core
Includes a tweak to make Static_task_t equal size to TCB_t when using
MPU_WRAPPERS . Matches tskSTATIC_AND_DYNAMIC_ALLOCATION_POSSIBLE macro
in tasks.c. This isn't actually a bug (if static task allocation is off,
there is no use for Static_task_t), but it allows us to make consistent
compile-time checks that Static_task_t == TCB_t.
Default esp-idf builds now show -Wextra warnings (except for a few:
signed/unsigned comparison, unused parameters, old-style C declarations.)
CI building of examples runs with that level raised to -Werror, to catch
those changes going into the main repo.
Add cross-core int to accelerate task being awoken from another CPU.
This adds a per-CPU interrupt that can be used to poke the CPU to go do something. In this case all that is implemented is a request to yield the current task, used in case a CPU unblocks a task that runs on another CPU. This gets rid of the limitation that inter-CPU communication using queues, muxes etc can take up to a FreeRTOS tick to happen.
Specs!
Sending an in in a queue of length 1 (essentially a semaphore) as quickly as possible (just a small delay in the sender, to make sure the receiver task gets swapped out) for 10 seconds. Number indicates the amount of ints transferred
Old code:
CPU0->CPU0: 42986
CPU0->CPU1,: 2999
New code:
CPU0->CPU0: 42868
CPU0->CPU1: 62073

Feature/wdts
This adds two watchdogs to esp-idf:
- An interrupt watchdog. Kicks in if the FreeRTOS timer interupt on either the PRO_CPU or (when configured) the APP CPU isn't called for a configurable time. Panics, displaying which CPU caused the problem and the registers that may lead to the offending code.
- A task watchdog. A task has to feed it every once in a while. If not, it will print the name of the offending tasks, as well as the tasks currently running on both CPUs, and optionally panic.
Also adds a panic reason to the panic call, as well as fixes the panic code a bit.
