This updates the minimal supported version of CMake to 3.16, which in turn enables us to use more CMake features and have a cleaner build system.
This is the version that provides most new features and also the one we use in our latest docker image for CI.
When vfs component is not added to the build, bare minimum syscalls
are provided by newlib component. These syscalls currently don't
perform CR/LF translation.
This commit makes the 'get_test_name' function work with minimal
syscalls and also adds echo, so that the user sees what they type.
By unchecking "Place panic handler code in IRAM" in the menuconfig,
the panic handlers will be placed in flash. Of course, flash cache must
be activated when entering panic handlers.
Theory is that on the runner, in rare cases, gdb may need more than
1 second to load and start responding to commands.
However it's possible these timeouts are due to some other problem
(like gdb failing)
The previous approach was to allocate an array on the stack, and
have the array extend past the stack size. This worked by would
result in SP being moved near the end of the stack. If an interrupt
triggered at that time, interrupt prologue would try to save the
context to the stack, tripping the stack overflow watchpoint.
Replacing this with the approach which doesn't move the SP and simply
writes to decreasing addresses from SP, until stack overflow check
triggers.
Small quality-of-life improvement, make it easier to run specific
test cases, when debugging the tests locally.
Take the optional list of test cases to run from the command line.
InstrFetchProhibited usually occurs because of a jump to an invalid
pointer. In this case, PC in the exception frame is the address of
the jump destination. 'esp_ptr_executable' check in print_backtrace
function recognizes the first frame as invalid, and the backtrace is
interrupted. This prevents the user from finding the location where
the invalid pointer is dereferenced.
Bypass the 'esp_ptr_executable' check if the exception cause is
InstrFetchProhibited. Update the test case to no longer ignore this
issue.
