Some APs are configured to hide the SSID, the length field of the SSID element
in the Beacon frame is set to 0. This can cause incorrect parsing of the Beacon
by the Wi-Fi MAC hardware.
Some APs send two beacon frames with different BSSID in a TBTT cycle. After
correctly parsing the beacon of the associated AP, it continue to receive the
other beacon frame, which will cause the MAC to remain in a wait RX/TXING
state, blocking the Wi-Fi go to sleep.
...and all their callers.
With the upcoming switch from sizeof(time_t)==4 to sizeof(time_t)==8,
sizeof(struct stat) is also increasing.
A few newlib functions present in ROM allocate 'struct stat' on the
stack and call _fstat_r on this structure. The implementation of
fstat is provided in ESP-IDF. This implementation will often do
memset(st, 0, sizeof(*st)), where st is 'struct stat*', before setting
some fields of this structure. If IDF is built with sizeof(st)
different from sizeof(st) which ROM was built with, this will lead
to an out-of-bounds write and a stack corruption.
This commit removes problematic ROM functions from the linker script.
Here are the functions which allocate 'struct stat':
* _isatty_r (in ROM)
* __swhatbuf_r, called by __smakebuf_r, called by __swsetup_r and
__srefill_r (in ROM)
* _fseeko_r (not in ROM)
* glob2 (not in ROM)
* _gettemp (not in ROM)
As a result, these functions are used from libc.a, and use correct
size of 'stat' structure.
Closes https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/issues/7980
Updates the following with changes from verification branches:
* esp_rom linker files
* rtc_cntl and system reg and struct headers
Also updates:
* GDMA driver with new register layout
* esptool submodule commit
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.
