Update WinPCap NetworkInterface.c for FreeRTOS+UDP to correctly store a pointer to the network buffer structure at the beginning of the network buffer.
+ 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.
- 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 tests to GenQTest.c to test the updated priority inheritance mechanism.
- Slightly increase some delays in recmutex.c to prevent it reporting false errors in high load test cases.
SAMA5D3 Xplained IAR demo:
- Remove space being allocated for stacks that are not used.
- Remove explicit enabling of interrupts in ISR handers as this is now done from the central ISR callback before the individual handers are invoked.
- Reduce both the allocated heap size and the stack allocated to each task.
- Enable I cache.
