The difference between this port and portable/GCC/ARM_CA53_64_BIT is
that this port uses System Register interface to access CPU interface
while the other one uses Memory-mapped interface.

Critical sections in FreeRTOS are implemented using the following two
functions:
void vPortEnterCritical( void )
{
portDISABLE_INTERRUPTS();
uxCriticalNesting++;
}
void vPortExitCritical( void )
{
uxCriticalNesting--;
if( uxCriticalNesting == 0 )
{
portENABLE_INTERRUPTS();
}
}
uxCriticalNesting is initialized to a large value at the start and set
to zero when the scheduler is started (xPortStartScheduler). As a
result, before the scheduler is started, a pair of enter/exit critical
section will leave the interrupts disabled because uxCriticalNesting
will not reach zero in the vPortExitCritical function. This is done to
ensure that the interrupts remain disabled from the time first FreeRTOS
API is called to the time when the scheduler is started. The scheduler
starting code is expected to enure that interrupts are enabled before
the first task starts executing.
Cortex-M33 ports were not enabling interrupts before starting the first
task and as a result, the first task was started with interrupts
disabled. This PR fixes the issue by ensuring that interrupts are
enabled before the first task is started.

I discovered a very snicky and tricky race condition scenario when integrating tracealyzer code into our project.
A little background on CortexR5 : When the IRQ line (comming from the interrupt controller, to which every peripheral IRQ lines connect) of the processor rises and the IRQ Enable bit in the status register of the CPU permits it, the CPU traps into interrupt mode. Several things happen. First, the CPU finishes the instruction it was performing. Second, it places the content of the CPSR register into the SPSR_irq register. And third, the mode of the CPU is changed to IRQ_Mode and /!\ THE IRQ ENABLE BIT IN CPSR_irq IS AUTOMATICALLY CLEARED /!\. The reason is to ensure that upon landing into IRQ code, we find ourselves automatically in a critical section because we cannot be interrupted again because the bit is cleared. The programmer can, if he wants, re-enable IRQs inside IRQ code itself to allow interrupt nesting. But it has to be wanted and meditated.
Now, inside portASM.S, at the end of 'FreeRTOS_IRQ_Handler' assembly function, a call to 'vTaskSwitchContextConst' is made if the variable 'ulPortYieldRequired' was set by someone while executing the interrupt. Before branching to that function, a 'CPSID i' instruction was placed to ensure that interrupts are disabled in case someone re-enabled it. Inside 'vTaskSwitchContext', there is the macro 'traceTASK_SWITCHED_OUT' that gets populated when tracing is enabled.
The bug is right there.. If the macro is populated and inside that macro there is a matching call to 'ulPortSetInterruptMask' and 'vPortClearInterruptMask', a race condition can occure is there is a OS Tick timer interrupt waiting at the interrupt controller's door. Upon calling 'vTaskSwitchContext', the interrupts are not masked in the interrupt controller, the only barrier against the CPU servicing that tick interrupt while already performing the function is that the IRQ Enable bit cleared. 'ulPortSetInterruptMask'
does what's its supposed to do, but doesn't take into account the IRQ Enable bit in CPSR. Wheter or not the bit was cleared, the function sets it at the end. When calling the matching 'vPortClearInterruptMask', the function clears the interrupt mask in the interrupt controller. Because the IRQ Enable bit (that was cleared) has been set no matter what in 'ulPortSetInterruptMask', the CPU services the OS Tick Interrupt right away.
The bug is there : instead of completing the 'vTaskSwitchContext' function, the CPU re-enters the switch context path right after 'traceTASK_SWITCHED_OUT' thus corrupting the CPU state and eventually triggering either an undefined instruction, data or instruction abort.
* Update port.c
Error on my part, this is the right inline asm code to retreive CPSR register

The TEX, Shareable (S), Cacheable (C) and Bufferable (B) bits define
the memory type, and where necessary the cacheable and shareable
properties of the memory region.
The default values for these bits, as configured in our MPU ports, are
sometimes not suitable for application. One such example is when the MCU
has a cache, the application writer may not want to mark the memory as
shareable to avoid disabling the cache. This change allows the
application writer to override default vales for TEX, S C and B bits for
Flash and RAM in their FreeRTOSConfig.h. The following two new
configurations are introduced:
- configTEX_S_C_B_FLASH
- configTEX_S_C_B_SRAM
If undefined, the default values for the above configurations are
TEX=000, S=1, C=1, B=1. This ensures backward compatibility.

configSYSTICK_CLOCK_HZ should be used to configure SysTick to support
the use case when the clock for SysTick timer is scaled from the main
CPU clock.
configSYSTICK_CLOCK_HZ is defined to configCPU_CLOCK_HZ when it is not
defined in FreeRTOSConfig.h.

ARMv7-M supports 8 or 16 MPU regions. FreeRTOS Cortex-M4 MPU ports so
far assumed 8 regions. This change adds support for 16 MPU regions. The
hardware with 16 MPU regions must define configTOTAL_MPU_REGIONS to 16
in their FreeRTOSConfig.h.
If left undefined, it defaults to 8 for backward compatibility.

Some of the privileged symbols were not being placed in their respective
sections. This commit addresses those and places them in
privileged_functions or privileged_data section.

If xTaskCreate API is used to create a task, the task's stack is
allocated on heap using pvPortMalloc. This places the task's stack
in the privileged data section, if the heap is placed in the
privileged data section.
We use a separate MPU region to grant a task access to its stack.
If the task's stack is in the privileged data section, this results in
overlapping MPU regions as privileged data section is already protected
using a separate MPU region. ARMv8-M does not allow overlapping MPU
regions and this results in a fault. This commit ensures to not use a
separate MPU region for the task's stack if it lies within the
privileged data section.
Note that if the heap memory is placed in the privileged data section,
the xTaskCreate API cannot be used to create an unprivileged task as
the task's stack will be in the privileged data section and the task
won't have access to it. xTaskCreateRestricted and
xTaskCreateRestrictedStatic API should be used to create unprivileged
tasks.

When Link Time Optimization (LTO) is enabled, some of the LDR
instructions result in out of range access. The reason is that the
default generated literal pool is too far and not within the permissible
range of 4K.
This commit adds LTORG assembly instructions at required places to
ensure that access to literals remain in the permissible range of 4K.

* fix: CLEAR MIE BIT IN INITIAL RISC-V MSTATUS VALUE
The MIE bit in the RISC-V MSTATUS register is used to globally enable
or disable interrupts. It is copied into the MPIE bit and cleared
on entry to an interrupt, and then copied back from the MPIE bit on
exit from an interrupt.
When a task is created it is given an initial MSTATUS value that is
derived from the current MSTATUS value with the MPIE bit force to 1,
but the MIE bit is not forced into any state. This change forces
the MIE bit to 0 (interrupts disabled).
Why:
If a task is created before the scheduler is started the MIE bit
will happen to be 0 (interrupts disabled), which is fine. If a
task is created after the scheduler has been started the MIE bit
is set (interrupts enabled), causing interrupts to unintentionally
become enabled inside the interrupt in which the task is first
moved to the running state - effectively breaking a critical
section which in turn could cause a crash if enabling interrupts
causes interrupts to nest. It is only an issue when starting a
newly created task that was created after the scheduler was started.
