As this mode uses the public keys attached to the existing app's signatures to
verify the next app, checking that a signature block is found on boot prevents
the possibility of deploying a non-updatable device from the factory.
This adds support for the retargetable locking implementation in
newlib 3. This feature will be enabled in the future toolchain builds.
With the present version of the toolchain, this code doesn't get used.
When _RETARGETABLE_LOCKING gets enabled, newlib locking implementation
will be modified as follows:
- Legacy ESP-specific _lock_xxx functions are preserved. This is done
because ROM copies of newlib in ESP32 and ESP32-S2 rely on these
functions through the function pointer table. Also there is some
code in IDF which still uses these locking functions.
- New __retarget_lock_xxx functions are introduced. Newlib expects
these functions to be provided by the system. These functions work
pretty much the same way as the ESP-specific _lock_xxx functions,
except one major difference: _lock_acquire receives the lock pointer
by value, and as such doesn't support lazy initialization.
- Static locks used by newlib are now explicitly initialized at
startup. Since it is unlikely that these static locks are used at
the same time, all compatible locks are set to point to the same
mutex. This saves a bit of RAM. Note that there are still many locks
not initialized statically, in particular those inside FILE
structures.
- Introduce system time function and concept of system time provider.
esp_timer is system time provider when present.
- Set the reference point for system time, g_startup_time.
- Use the system time functions in newlib instead of calling esp_timer
functions directly
This MR uses an intermediary function `start_app` to call after system
initialization instead of `app_main`.
In RTOS builds, freertos provides `start_app` and calls `app_main`.
In non-RTOS builds, user provides `start_app` directly.
Changes the startup flow to the ff:
hardware -> core libraries init -> other libraries init -> os
init (optional) -> app_main
- hardware init resides in the port layer, and is the entry point
- core libraries init executes init functions of core components
- other libraries init executes init functions of other components (weak
references)
- after other lib is init, the app_main function is called, however,
an OS can wrap the real call to app_main to init its own stuff, and
*then* call the real app_main
