+ Do not attempt to free the stack of a deleted task if the stack was statically allocated.
+ Introduce configUSE_LIST_DATA_INTEGRITY_CHECK_BYTES - which optionally writes known values into the list and list item data structures in order to assist with the detection of memory corruptions.
Microblase port:
+Change occurrences of #if XPAR_MICROBLAZE_0_USE_FPU == 1 to #if XPAR_MICROBLAZE_0_USE_FPU != 0 as the value can also be 2 or 3.
Demo app modifications:
+ Update Zynq project to use the 2014.4 tools and add in tests for the new task notification feature.
+ Update SAM4S project to include tests for the new task notification feature.
+ Optimise Cortex-M4F ports by inlining some critical section macros.
+ Original ports used a #define to set the path to portmacro.h - that method has been obsolete for years and now all the old definitions have been moved into a separate header files called deprecated_definitions.h.
+ Cortex-M port now check the active vector bits against 0xff when determining if a function is called from an interrupt - previously only a subset of the bits (0x1f) were checked.
+ Add in new standard demo/test files TaskNotify.c/h and include the files in the simulator demos.
+ Update trace recorder code, and some demos to use the new version (more to do).
+ Introduce uxTaskPriorityGetFromISR().
+ Minor typo corrections.
+ Update MingW simulator demo to match the MSVC simulator demo.
When a task is unblocked the need for a context switch is only signalled if the unblocked task has a priority higher than the currently running task, instead of higher than or equal to the priority of the currently running task.
Made queue function prototypes consistent so xQueueHandle parameters are always xQueue, and xQUEUE * parameters pxQueue.
Likewise make the task API using px for pointers to TCBs, and just x for task handles.
Heap_x functions now automatically align the start of the heap without using the portDOUBLE union member.
Queue.c now includes queue.h.
Changed eTaskStateGet() to eTaskGetState() and added #define to ensure backward compatibility.
Added configEXPECTED_IDLE_TIME_BEFORE_SLEEP definition - was previously hard coded to 2.
Slight change to the default CM3 tickless sleep function to allow the idle time to be set to zero in the pre-sleep processing macro.
Changed stack alignment for the FreeRTOS-MPU port to ensure it didn't trigger the assert() in the generic create function.
