Module `newlib` is now used by default. Therefore, the separation of initialization of ctors and the newlibc is not needed any longer. Instead of calling `do_global_ctors` and `_init` separately, `__libc_init_array` is called. Explicit function `do_global_ctors` is removed.
Initializing the stdio file descriptors in global reent structure with newlib fake stdio file descriptors led to the problem that newlib stdio functions printf and puts were not working since they can't operate on these fake stdio file descriptors. Therefore, this initialization was removed. Now, the real stdio file descriptors as created automatically by newlib are used. Specific functions `printf`, `puts`, `getchar`and `putchar` are not required any longer and are removed now.
Modules newlib and newlib_syscalls_default are now used by default. Conditional compilations for MODULE_NEWLIB_SYSCALLS_DEFAULT as well as alternative code are removed completely.
Some ESP32 boards (like my SparkFun ESP32 Thing) have a main clock
crystal that runs at 26MHz, not 40MHz. RIOT appears to assume 40MHz.
The mismatch causes the UART to not sync properly, resulting in
garbage written to the terminal instead of log output.
I’ve added:
* A new board configuration constant ESP32_XTAL_FREQ that defaults
to 40, but can be overridden by a board def or at build time to
force a specific value (i.e. 26).
* Some code spliced into system_clk_init() to check this constant and
call rtc_clk_init() to set the correct frequency.
* A copy of the rtf_clk_init() function from the ESP-IDF sources.
Fixes#10272
Xtensa newlib version requires pthread_setcancelstate as symbol. Therefore, the module pthread was always used, which in turn requires the module xtimer. The xtimer module, however, uses TIMER_DEV(0). Therefore, tests/timers failed for TIMER_DEV(0).
