This is a `core` patch to make wakers 1 word (the task pointer) instead of 2 (task pointer + vtable). It allows having the "waker optimization" we had a while back on `WakerRegistration/AtomicWaker`, but EVERYWHERE, without patching all crates. Advantages: - Less memory usage. - Faster. - `AtomicWaker` can actually use atomics to load/store the waker, No critical section needed. - No `dyn` call, which means `cargo-call-stack` can now see through wakes. Disadvantages: - You have to patch `core`... - Breaks all executors and other things that create wakers, unless they opt in to using the new `from_ptr` API. How to use: - Run this shell script to patch `core`. https://gist.github.com/Dirbaio/c67da7cf318515181539122c9d32b395 - Enable `build-std` - Enable `build-std-features = core/turbowakers` - Enable feature `turbowakers` in `embassy-executor`, `embassy-sync`. - Make sure you have no other crate creating wakers other than `embassy-executor`. These will panic at runtime. Note that the patched `core` is equivalent to the unpached one when the `turbowakers` feature is not enabled, so it should be fine to leave it there. |

embassy-executor
An async/await executor designed for embedded usage.
- No
alloc, no heap needed. Task futures are statically allocated. - No "fixed capacity" data structures, executor works with 1 or 1000 tasks without needing config/tuning.
- Integrated timer queue: sleeping is easy, just do
Timer::after(Duration::from_secs(1)).await;. - No busy-loop polling: CPU sleeps when there's no work to do, using interrupts or
WFE/SEV. - Efficient polling: a wake will only poll the woken task, not all of them.
- Fair: a task can't monopolize CPU time even if it's constantly being woken. All other tasks get a chance to run before a given task gets polled for the second time.
- Creating multiple executor instances is supported, to run tasks with multiple priority levels. This allows higher-priority tasks to preempt lower-priority tasks.
