+ 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.
+ Change how queues are allocated and deleted so only one pvPortMalloc() or vPortFree() is required in place of the previous 2.
+ Where the TCB is allocated in relation to the stack is now dependent on the stack growth direction. The stack will not grow into the TCB.
+ Introduce the configAPPLICATION_ALLOCATED_HEAP constant to allow the application to provide the array used by heap_4.c as its heap. This allows the application writer to use qualifiers on the array to, for example, force the memory into faster RAM.
Demo application:
+ Add demo for SAMA5D4 using IAR.
+ Introduce xSemaphoreGenericGiveFromISR() as an optimisation when giving semaphores and mutexes from an interrupt.
Demo applications:
+ Update IntSemTest.c to provide more code coverage in xSemaphoreGenericGiveFromISR().
+ Ensure the MMU is turned on in the RZ IAR demo. It was already on in the RZ ARM demo.
- Re-introduce the ability to give a mutex from an ISR.
Common demo code:
- Add additional tests into the GenQTest files for priority inheritance and using a mutex from an ISR.
Add additional asserts to the Keil CM3 and CM4F ports (other CM3/4 ports already updated).
Add the additional yield necessitated by the mutex held count to the case when configUSE_QUEUE_SETS is 0.
Helper updates to allow a count of the number of mutexes held to be added.
Updates to the CCS Cortex-R4 implementation necessitated by a change in compiler semantics.
Update PIC32MX and MZ ports to assert if a non ISR safe function is called from an ISR.
Fix issue in and simplify the xTaskRemoveFromUnorderedEventList() function. The function is new to the V8 release candidates so does not effect official released code.
Change INCLUDE_xTimerPendFunctionCallFromISR to INCLUDE_xTimerPendFunctionCall
Update event group trace macros to match the new trace recorder code.
Ensure parameter name consistency by renaming any occurrences of xBlockTime and xBlockTimeTicks to xTicksToWait.
Continue work on GCC/RL78 port - still a work in progress.
Adjust how the critical section was used in xQueueAddToSet.
Replace #define types with typedefs.
Rename all typedefs to have a _t extension.
Add #defines to automatically convert old FreeRTOS specific types to their new names (with the _t).
Correct the header comments in het.c and het.h (RM48/TMS570 demo) which were corrupt.
Correct version numbers in RX63N Renesas compiler demo.
Ensure stacks set up for tasks in the RX200 port layer end on 8 byte boundaries (was 4, which didn't matter but didn't match the definition).
Replaced unqualified (unsigned) in calls to standard functions with (size_t).
Add eTaskConfirmSleepModeStatus() (not yet tested).
Only call prvQueueUnregisterQueue() when a queue or semaphore is deleted if configQUEUE_REGISTRY_SIZE > 0.
Back out change that checks the configUSE_PORT_OPTMISED_TASK_SELECTION value before uxPriorityUsedOnEntry is set in vTaskPrioritySet as it generated more warnings (with other compilers) than it fixed.
