Fix the context array size for MPU ports
Ensure the saved context location falls within the reserved context area
rather than overlapping with the next MPU_SETTINGS structure member.
This never caused a problem because actual read/write operations
start from one word before the saved context location.

Verify that the application has correctly installed PendSV
and SVCall handlers. The application can choose to
disable these checks by setting configCHECK_HANDLER_INSTALLATION
to 0 in their FreeRTOSConfig.h.
Earlier the System Call entry from an unprivileged task
looked like:
1. SVC for entering system call.
2. System call implementation.
3. SVC for exiting system call.
Now, the system call entry needs to make only one SVC
call and everything else is handled internally.
This PR also makes the following changes:
1. Update the Access Control List (ACL) mechanism to
grant access to all the kernel objects before the
scheduler is started.
2. Add one struct param for system calls with 5 parameters.
This removes the need for special handling for system
calls with 5 parameters.
3. Remove raise privilege SVC when MPU wrapper v2 is used.
4. Add additional run time parameter checks to MPU wrappers
for xTaskGenericNotify and xQueueTakeMutexRecursive APIs.
A task's privilege level is stored in ulTaskFlag member in the TCB. Current
implementation of portSWITCH_TO_USER_MODE() does not update this
flag but just lowers the processor's privilege level. This results in many
APIs incorrectly determining task's privilege level and access permissions -
- xPortIsAuthorizedToAccessBuffer
- xPortIsTaskPrivileged
- xPortIsAuthorizedToAccessKernelObject
This PR fixes the portSWITCH_TO_USER_MODE() implementation to correctly
update the ulTaskFlag member in the TCB before lowering the processor's
privilege level.
Add trace hook macro for most ports
In pull request #659 we introduced better support for tracing
tools like systemview. This patchset adds support for more
ports as requested in the original pull request.
This PR adds Access Control to kernel objects on a per task basis to MPU
ports. The following needs to be defined in the `FreeRTOSConfig.h` to
enable this feature:
```c
#define configUSE_MPU_WRAPPERS_V1 0
#define configENABLE_ACCESS_CONTROL_LIST 1
```
This PR adds the following new APIs:
```c
void vGrantAccessToTask( TaskHandle_t xTask,
TaskHandle_t xTaskToGrantAccess );
void vRevokeAccessToTask( TaskHandle_t xTask,
TaskHandle_t xTaskToRevokeAccess );
void vGrantAccessToSemaphore( TaskHandle_t xTask,
SemaphoreHandle_t xSemaphoreToGrantAccess );
void vRevokeAccessToSemaphore( TaskHandle_t xTask,
SemaphoreHandle_t xSemaphoreToRevokeAccess );
void vGrantAccessToQueue( TaskHandle_t xTask,
QueueHandle_t xQueueToGrantAccess );
void vRevokeAccessToQueue( TaskHandle_t xTask,
QueueHandle_t xQueueToRevokeAccess );
void vGrantAccessToQueueSet( TaskHandle_t xTask,
QueueSetHandle_t xQueueSetToGrantAccess );
void vRevokeAccessToQueueSet( TaskHandle_t xTask,
QueueSetHandle_t xQueueSetToRevokeAccess );
void vGrantAccessToEventGroup( TaskHandle_t xTask,
EventGroupHandle_t xEventGroupToGrantAccess );
void vRevokeAccessToEventGroup( TaskHandle_t xTask,
EventGroupHandle_t xEventGroupToRevokeAccess );
void vGrantAccessToStreamBuffer( TaskHandle_t xTask,
StreamBufferHandle_t xStreamBufferToGrantAccess );
void vRevokeAccessToStreamBuffer( TaskHandle_t xTask,
StreamBufferHandle_t xStreamBufferToRevokeAccess );
void vGrantAccessToMessageBuffer( TaskHandle_t xTask,
MessageBufferHandle_t xMessageBufferToGrantAccess );
void vRevokeAccessToMessageBuffer( TaskHandle_t xTask,
MessageBufferHandle_t xMessageBufferToRevokeAccess );
void vGrantAccessToTimer( TaskHandle_t xTask,
TimerHandle_t xTimerToGrantAccess );
void vRevokeAccessToTimer( TaskHandle_t xTask,
TimerHandle_t xTimerToRevokeAccess );
```
An unprivileged task by default has access to itself only and no other
kernel object. The application writer needs to explicitly grant an
unprivileged task access to all the kernel objects it needs. The best
place to do that is before starting the scheduler when all the kernel
objects are created.
For example, let's say an unprivileged tasks needs access to a queue and
an event group, the application writer needs to do the following:
```c
vGrantAccessToQueue( xUnprivilegedTaskHandle, xQueue );
vGrantAccessToEventGroup( xUnprivilegedTaskHandle, xEventGroup );
```
The application writer MUST revoke all the accesses before deleting a
task. Failing to do so will result in undefined behavior. In the above
example, the application writer needs to make the following 2 calls
before deleting the task:
```c
vRevokeAccessToQueue( xUnprivilegedTaskHandle, xQueue );
vRevokeAccessToEventGroup( xUnprivilegedTaskHandle, xEventGroup );
```

Memory Protection Unit (MPU) Enhancements
This commit introduces a new MPU wrapper that places additional
restrictions on unprivileged tasks. The following is the list of changes
introduced with the new MPU wrapper:
1. Opaque and indirectly verifiable integers for kernel object handles:
All the kernel object handles (for example, queue handles) are now
opaque integers. Previously object handles were raw pointers.
2. Saving the task context in Task Control Block (TCB): When a task is
swapped out by the scheduler, the task's context is now saved in its
TCB. Previously the task's context was saved on its stack.
3. Execute system calls on a separate privileged only stack: FreeRTOS
system calls, which execute with elevated privilege, now use a
separate privileged only stack. Previously system calls used the
calling task's stack. The application writer can control the size of
the system call stack using new configSYSTEM_CALL_STACK_SIZE config
macro.
4. Memory bounds checks: FreeRTOS system calls which accept a pointer
and de-reference it, now verify that the calling task has required
permissions to access the memory location referenced by the pointer.
5. System call restrictions: The following system calls are no longer
available to unprivileged tasks:
- vQueueDelete
- xQueueCreateMutex
- xQueueCreateMutexStatic
- xQueueCreateCountingSemaphore
- xQueueCreateCountingSemaphoreStatic
- xQueueGenericCreate
- xQueueGenericCreateStatic
- xQueueCreateSet
- xQueueRemoveFromSet
- xQueueGenericReset
- xTaskCreate
- xTaskCreateStatic
- vTaskDelete
- vTaskPrioritySet
- vTaskSuspendAll
- xTaskResumeAll
- xTaskGetHandle
- xTaskCallApplicationTaskHook
- vTaskList
- vTaskGetRunTimeStats
- xTaskCatchUpTicks
- xEventGroupCreate
- xEventGroupCreateStatic
- vEventGroupDelete
- xStreamBufferGenericCreate
- xStreamBufferGenericCreateStatic
- vStreamBufferDelete
- xStreamBufferReset
Also, an unprivileged task can no longer use vTaskSuspend to suspend
any task other than itself.

configPRIO_BITS configuration macros such that these macros specify the
minimum number of implemented priority bits supported by a config

* Interrupt priority assert improvements for CM3/4/7
In the ARM_CM3, ARM_CM4, and ARM_CM7 ports, change the assertion that

Change these ports to also use the lowest priority for PendSV and
SysTick, ignoring `configKERNEL_INTERRUPT_PRIORITY`.

It was possible for a third party that had already independently gained
the ability to execute injected code to achieve further privilege
escalation by branching directly inside a FreeRTOS MPU API wrapper
function with a manually crafted stack frame. This commit removes the
local stack variable `xRunningPrivileged` so that a manually crafted
stack frame cannot be used for privilege escalation by branching
directly inside a FreeRTOS MPU API wrapper.

Technology and the SecLab team at Northeastern University for reporting

ARMv7-M allows overlapping MPU regions. When 2 MPU regions overlap, the
MPU configuration of the higher numbered MPU region is applied. For
example, if a memory area is covered by 2 MPU regions 0 and 1, the
memory permissions for MPU region 1 are applied.
We use 5 MPU regions for kernel code and kernel data protections and
leave the remaining for the application writer. We were using lowest
numbered MPU regions (0-4) for kernel protections and leaving the
remaining for the application writer. The application writer could
configure those higher numbered MPU regions to override kernel
protections.
This commit changes the code to use highest numbered MPU regions for
kernel protections and leave the remaining for the application writer.
This ensures that the application writer cannot override kernel
protections.

This commit introduces a new config
configALLOW_UNPRIVILEGED_CRITICAL_SECTIONS which enables developers to
prevent critical sections from unprivileged tasks. It defaults to 1 for
backward compatibility. Application should set it to 0 to disable
critical sections from unprivileged tasks.
