Instantiation and init now support the rxbuf and txbuf keywords for setting
the buffer size.  The default size is 256 bytes.  The minimum and maximum
sizes are 32 and 32766 respectively.

uart.write() still includes checks for timeout, even if it is very unlikely
to happen due to a) lack of flow control support and b) the minimal timeout
values being longer than the time it needs to send a byte.

StateMachine.restart: Restarts the state machine
StateMachine.rx_fifo: Return the number of RX FIFO items, 0 if empty
StateMachine.tx_fifo: Return the number of TX FIFO items, 0 if empty

restart() seems to be the most useful one, as it resets the state machine
to the initial state without the need to re-initialise/re-create.  It also
makes PIO code easier, because then stalling as an error state can be
unlocked.

rx_fifo() is also useful, for MP code to check for data and timeout if no
data arrived.  Complex logic is easier handled in Python code than in PIO
code.

tx_fifo() can be useful to check states where data is not processed, and is
mostly for symmetry.

The implementation samples rosc.randombits at a frequency lower than the
oscillator frequency.  This gives better random values.  In addition, for
an 8-bit value 8 samples are taken and fed through a 8-bit CRC,
distributing the sampling over the byte.  The resulting sampling rate is
about 120k/sec.

The RNG does not include testing of error conditions, like the ROSC being
in sync with the sampling or completely failing.  Making the interim value
static causes it to perform a little bit better in short sync or drop-out
situations.

The output of uos.urandom() performs well with the NIST800-22 test suite.
In my trial it passed all tests of the sts 2.1.2 test suite.  I also ran a
test of the random data with the Common Criteria test suite AIS 31, and it
passed all tests too.

Fixes issue #7025.

There were a few changes that had broken this example, specifically
2cdf1d25 removed file.c from ports/unix.
And (at least for MacOS) mp_state_ctx must be placed in the BSS with
-fno-common so it is visible to the linker.

STM32L476RG MCU of NUCLEO_L476RG board has 6 UART/USART units in total
(USART1, USART2, USART3, UART4, UART5 and LPUART1), but only UART2,
connected to REPL, was defined and available in Python code.
Defined are all 5 remaining UART/USART units including LPUART1.

This commit simplifies the customisation of the main MicroPython execution

Per CPython everything which comes after the command, module or file
argument is not an option for the interpreter itself.  Hence the processing
of options should stop when encountering those, and the remainder be passed
as sys.argv.  Note the latter was already the case for a module or file but
not for a command.

This fixes issues like 'micropython myfile.py -h' showing the help and
exiting instead of passing '-h' as sys.argv[1], likewise for
'-X <something>' being treated as a special option no matter where it
occurs on the command line.

Some forum users noticed that `sm.exec()` took longer the more was present
on the flash filesystem connected to the RP2040.  They traced this back to
the `array` import inside `asm_pio()`, which is causing MicroPython to scan
the filesystem.

uarray is a built-in module, so importing it shouldn't require scanning the
filesystem.

We avoid moving the import to the top-level in order to keep the namespace
clean; we don't want to accidentally expose `rp2.array`.

The generated regex code is limited in the range of jumps and counts, and
this commit checks all cases which can overflow given the right kind of
input regex, and returns an error in such a case.

This change assumes that the results that overflow an int8_t do not
overflow a platform int.

Closes: #7078

It's a bit of a pitfall with user C modules that including them in the
build does not automatically enable them.  This commit changes the docs and
examples for user C modules to encourage writers of user C modules to
enable them unconditionally.  This makes things simpler and covers most use
cases.

It was noticed that the esp32 port didn't build ulab correctly.  The
problem was a multiple defintion of the 'mp_hal_stdout_tx_str' and
'mp_hal_stdout_tx_strn_cooked' functions.

They were defined in stdout_helpers.c but also in the
ports/esp32/mphalport.c.

The parts that are generic are added to py/ so they can be used by other
ports that use CMake.

py/usermod.cmake:

* Creates a usermod target to hang user C/CXX modules from.
* Gathers sources from user C/CXX modules and libs for QSTR scan.

ports/rp2/CMakeLists.txt:

* Includes py/usermod.cmake.
* Links the resulting usermod library to the MicroPython target.

py/mkrules.cmake:

Add cxxflags to qstr.i.last custom command for CXX modules:

* MICROPY_CPP_FLAGS so CXX modules will find includes.
* -DNO_QSTR to fix fatal error missing "genhdr/qstrdefs.generated.h".

Usage:

The rp2 port can be linked against user C modules by running:

make USER_C_MODULES=/path/to/module/micropython.cmake

CMake will print a list of included modules.

This commit simplifies and cleans up the bare-arm port, and adds just
enough system and library code to make it execute on an STM32F405 MCU.

The mpconfigport.h configuration is simplified to just specify those
configuration values that are different from the defaults.  And the
addition of -fdata-sections and -ffunction-sections means the final
firmware is smaller than it previously was, by about 4200 bytes.

This helps to reduce memory fragmentation, by freeing the heap data as soon
as it is not needed.  It also helps the compiler keeps a reference to the
beginning of both arrays, which need to be traceable by the GC (otherwise

The GNU Make dir command uses spaces as item separator so it does not

Fix by using POSIX dirname on a quoted path instead.
