52e85aa6fb perf: drop stdint.h + picolibc — zero libc dependency
dma.h: typedef u32 instead of uint32_t, no stdint.h include
dma.c: use u32 instead of uint32_t
user-sample.c: unsigned char/int instead of uint8_t/uint32_t

Makefile: filter-out -lc -lm -lg -lsemihost from LDFLAGS
  → picolibc .data section (2.1KB, 532 words) eliminated
  → startup data-copy loop: ~30000 → ~200 cycles
  → total start.S latency: ~44000 → ~14000 cycles (~0.42ms at 33MHz)

ae89363227 perf(matmul): bypass printf — direct UART 16550 register writes
Replace all printf() calls with direct UART THR register access:
- uart_tx(): poll LSR bit5, write byte to THR
- uart_puts(): null-terminated string output
- uart_puthex(): 8-digit lowercase hex for CRC32

Eliminates picolibc printf overhead: no format parsing, no FILE* I/O,
no locale, no buffering. UART runs at 115200 baud (~8.7μs/byte),
THR nearly always empty at 33MHz core → single poll iteration.

Output: MATMUL_START, MATMUL_CRC32=XXXXXXXX, MATMUL_DONE

f55e15af32 perf(matmul): remove all DMA TAG writes (hardware ignores TAG register)
Each uncached TAG write costs ~810ns on the AXI bus. Removed:
- 2 TAG writes per main loop iteration (Ch1 store + Ch0 pre-fire)
- 2 TAG writes in prologue (group 0 load + pre-fire group 1)
- 1 TAG write in epilogue (final store)

Total: ~10,000 wasted AXI transactions eliminated for 5000 groups.
Estimated ~8% reduction in per-iteration time.

07b670b4c9 perf(matmul): strip ALL timing — zero get_ns() calls, zero TIME_* output
Removed:
- confreg_time.h and common_func.h includes
- All get_ns() calls (6 in prologue/loop/epilogue boundaries)
- All timing variables (t_prologue, t_mainloop, t_epilogue)
- All TIME_* printf markers
- Unused extram pointer and stdbool.h

Only essential output remains: MATMUL_START, MATMUL_CRC32, MATMUL_DONE

6aab84bf4b perf(matmul): remove diagnostic get_ns() calls from hot loop (v2 clean)
Stripped all per-iteration timing instrumentation:
- Removed 16 get_ns() calls per iteration from main loop
- Removed pipeline diagnostic print section
- Removed timing accumulator variables
- Retained outer timing markers only (prologue/loop/epilogue)

Expected ~45% speedup from removing measurement overhead
(previous run: 179.6ms with diag → estimated ~100ms clean)

45731e05b7 perf(matmul): add pipeline timing diagnostics (v2.1)
Measure per-phase wait times and stall counts to identify bottleneck:
- PIPE_WAIT_IP / DMA0 / DMA1: aggregate wait time per resource
- PIPE_FIRE_DMA / IP: register write overhead
- PIPE_STALL_*: iterations where each resource actually blocked

Output after standard markers, before MATMUL_DONE.
Allows data-driven decision on next optimization target:
  wait_ip dominant → optimize IP (HW multiplier pipeline)
  wait_dma0 dominant → pre-fire insufficient (wider bus/faster RAM)
  wait_dma1 dominant → bank reuse delay (deeper buffering)

81c636fb56 perf(matmul): pre-fire DMA Ch0 load + inline wait/DMA start + XOR bank toggle
user-sample.c v2 optimizations:
- Pre-fire DMA Ch0 load at loop tail to overlap fully with IP compute
- Inline wait_matmul_done/wait_dma_done to eliminate function call overhead
- Inline DMA register writes, skip redundant STATUS_BUSY_BIT check
- Replace g%2 with XOR bank toggle (bank ^= 1)
- Cache volatile pointers in locals (ch0, ch1, mat_status, mat_ctrl)

Makefile: bump -O2 to -O3
