Correct header comments in the UARTCommandConsole.c file used in the SmartFusion2 demo.
Exercise the new xQueueSpacesAvailable() function in the MSVC demo.
Add defaults for the new traceMALLOC and traceFREE trace macros.
Catch tasks trying to exit their functions in the Cortex-M0 ports.
Add additional comments to timers.c in response to a support forum question.
Initialise _impure_ptr prior to the first task being started.
Prior to V7.5.0 a yield pended in the tick hook would have occurred during the same tick interrupt. Return pdTRUE from xTaskIncrementTick() if a yield is pending to revert to that behaviour.
Don't reset the stack location when starting the scheduler in Cortex-M0 ports as the vector offset register is not implemented and XMC1000 devices have their application vector address somewhere other than 0x00.
Update the Cortex-A9 port to include asserts if an ISR safe FreeRTOS function is called from an interrupt that has a higher logical priority than configMAX_SYSCALL_INTERRUPT_PRIORITY (or whatever the CA9 equivalent is called), and also assert if the binary point is not set correctly.
Add portYIELD_FROM_ISR() macros to Cortex-M ports. The new macro just calls the exiting portEND_SWITCHING_ISR() macro.
Remove code from the MSVC port layer that was left over from a previous implementation and become obsolete.
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.
