- System calls are now only allowed from kernel code. This change can be turned on
or off using configENFORCE_SYSTEM_CALLS_FROM_KERNEL_ONLY.
- MPU is disabled before reprogramming it and enabled afterwards to be compliant
with ARM recommendations.
IAR produces some warnings which can not be fixed in the source code because
then other compilers start generating warnings. We suppressed those warnings
in the project file before. This change moves the warning suppression from
project files to portmacro.h.
Update RISC-V ports so the interrupt stack is set to a known value before the scheduler is started if the interrupt stack is statically defined rather than re-using the main.c() stack.
Improve commenting in RISC-V GCC port.
Fix IAR RISC-V port so the first task starts with interrupts enabled.
Add references to third party page ref using newlib with FreeRTOS into the tasks.c file in each place newlib is referenced.
Move the position of the traceTASK_DELETE() trace macro in case of use with a memory allocator that writes over freed memory even when inside a critical section.
Efficiency improvement: Make sure xTaskIncrementTick() does not return pdTRUE when the scheduler is locked. This just prevents an unnecessary yield interrupt (unnecessary as it is ignored) when xYieldPending happens to be pdTRUE.
+ Added xTaskCatchUpTicks() which corrects the tick count value after the application code has held interrupts disabled for an extended period.
+ Updated the xTaskResumeAll() implementation so it uses the new xTaskCatchUpTicks() function mentioned above to unwind ticks that were pended while the scheduler was suspended.
+ Various maintenance on the message buffer, stream buffer and abort delay demos.
+ Change type of uxPendedTicks from UBaseType_t to TickType_t to ensure it has same type as variables it is compared to, and therefore also rename the variable xPendingTicks.
+ Correct spelling mistake within a comment that was common to all the ARMv7-M ports.
Correct alignment issue in GCC Cortex-R port that was preventing full floating point usage in interrupts (other ports will be updated likewise).
Update the UltraScale R5 demo to test the GCC Cortex-A9 port layer modification mentioned on the line above.
+ Add configASSERT() into ARM Cortex-M ports to check the number of priority
bit settings.
+ Clear the 'control' register before starting ARM Cortex-M4F ports in case
the FPU is used before the scheduler is started. This just saves a few
bytes on the main stack as it prevents space being left for a later save
of FPU registers.
+ Added xSemaphoreGetMutexHolderFromISR().
+ Corrected use of portNVIC_PENDSVSET to portNVIC_PENDSVSET_BIT in MPU ports.
- Clear the SysTick current value register before starting the SysTick (only required if something uses SysTick before starting the scheduler).
- Ensure atomic operations are thread safe by executing clrex in the context switch.
+ Set flash wait states on MSP432 demos.
+ Remove use of obsolete IO library in PIC32 demos.
+ Remove obsolete item left on stack of first task to run in the Cortex-M0 ports.
+ Correct IA32 GCC vPortExitCritical() implementation when configMAX_API_CALL_INTERRUPT_PRIORITY == portMAX_PRIORITY.
Tidy up CEC1302 demo.
Ensure bit 0 of the task address is clear when setting up stack of initial Cortex-M3/4/7 stacks (for strict compliance, although not practically necessary).
vTaskGetTaskInfo() changed to vTaskGetInfo() - with a macro added for backward compatibility.
- Remove the standard demo files that used the [long since deprecated] alternative API.
- Add standard demo task that tests the new xTaskAbortDelay() function.
- Update the Win32 Visual Studio project to use Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition.
- Rename the xGenericListItem TCB member to xStateListItem as it better describes the member's purpose.
+ Updated all ARM Cortex-M0 ports to include an additional ISB instruction as the scheduler is started.
Demo app files:
+ Fixex build issues in XMC1000 demos.
Kernel source changes:
- Added xTaskNotifyStateClear() API function.
- Added the GCC Cortex-R port (existed for a while) into the main download.
- Improved the IAR RL78 port's handling of different memory model combinations.
- Removed some compiler warnings in heap_5.c.
Demo app changes:
- Added example use of xTaskNotifyStateClear() to the TaskNotify standard demo tasks.
Bug fix - issue introduced in V8.2.2 when the current timer list is empty and the overflow timer list is not empty.
Add PIC32MZ EF (floating point) support and update the MZ demo project to test the flop context switching.
Improve efficiency of the stack overflow checking.
Add CLI to RX71M demo.
General tidy up of new RZ and RX projects - including ensuring the UART driver copes with 0 length strings.
Add stack overflow checking to the [old] PIC24 demo.
- Complete the demo projects for the RX113 using IAR, GCC and Renesas compilers by including a basic UART CLI.
Standard demo tasks:
- Add some volatile qualifiers to variables in IntQueue.c.
Add additional asserts into timers.c.
Trivial changes and changes in demo applications:
RX113 IAR project is not building and running.
Make FreeRTOS_SetupInterrupt() and FreeRTOS_ClearInterrupt() weak symbols in the Zynq SDK repository.
Correct typo in the port layer comments that was cut and paste into multiple files.
