This seems to clean up some of the more wrong addr2line output results (not
sure why, something to do with optimisations I think - perhaps the return
address may also be a jump target from some earlier line of the code.)
Previously, this resulted in task stack frames turning up incorrectly in the backtrace, ie
Backtrace: 0x400d22a0:0x3ffb0fa0 0x40085a3c:0x3ffb0fc0 0x400f32c4:0x3ffb0fe0 0x40081965:0x3ffb1010
0x400d22a0: esp_vApplicationIdleHook at /home/esp/esp-idf/components/esp32/./freertos_hooks.c:

0x40085a3c: prvIdleTask at /home/esp/esp-idf/components/freertos/./tasks.c:4431

0x40081965: _xt_lowint1 at xtensa_vectors.o:?
Fix is to implement abort() via an unhandled exception rather than a breakpoint, I think
because of relative priority of exception types.
Another approach would be to assign a software-only INUM to abort()ing and defined a
PANIC_RSN_ABORTED, but this is more complex and interrupt numbers are more scarce than RAM!
esp32: Core dump sanity checks
Adds sanity checks when doing core dump to flash
- CRC for core dump flash partition config
- Tasks with corrupted TCBs are skipped
- Assertions to check that nothing is written beyond core dump flash partition
Ref TW11879
See merge request !686
- CRC for core dump flash partition config
- Tasks with corrupted TCBs are skipped
- Assertions to check that nothing is written beyond core dump flash partition
- RTC_CNTL_SLOWCLK_FREQ define is removed; rtc_clk_slow_freq_get_hz
function can be used instead to get an approximate RTC_SLOW_CLK
frequency
- Clock calibration is performed at startup. The value is saved and used
for timekeeping and when entering deep sleep.
- When using the 32k XTAL, startup code will wait for the oscillator to
start up. This can be possibly optimized by starting a separate task
to wait for oscillator startup, and performing clock switch in that
task.
- Fix a bug that 32k XTAL would be disabled in rtc_clk_init.
- Fix a rounding error in rtc_clk_cal, which caused systematic frequency
error.
- Fix an overflow bug which caused rtc_clk_cal to timeout early if the
slow_clk_cycles argument would exceed certain value
- Improve 32k XTAL oscillator startup time by introducing bootstrapping
code, which uses internal pullup/pulldown resistors on 32K_N/32K_P
pins to set better initial conditions for the oscillator.
- Implements application tracing module which allows to send arbitrary
data to host over JTAG. This feature is useful for analyzing
program modules behavior, dumping run-time application data etc.
- Implements printf-like logging functions on top of apptrace module.
This feature is a kind of semihosted printf functionality with lower
overhead and impact on system behaviour as compared to standard printf.
The following issues mentioned during MR!341 review were fixed:
1) Core dump test application description
2) Usage of CONFIG_ESP32_ENABLE_COREDUMP_TO_FLASH and CONFIG_ESP32_ENABLE_COREDUMP_TO_UART
3) FLASH_GUARD_START macro usage is fixed in flash API
4) Core dump module logging facility
5) cache util functions doc updated
6) interactive delay before print core dump to uart
7) core dump partion support in build system
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
On Xtensa windowed ABI backtrace is easy to do, and it's immensely
useful for debugging, so - do it by default.
We try to be careful and not deref bogus pointers while walking the
frames.
Example output (from debugging espressif/esp-idf#133):
Backtrace: 0x1:0x3ffc51e0 0x400e9dfa:0x3ffc5210 0x400e9ebc:0x3ffc5230 0x400ec487:0x3ffc5260
With just addr2line utility from binutils, this already pinpoints the
location of the crash.
