+Changes between FreeRTOS V10.6.2 and FreeRTOS V11.0.0 released December 18, 2023
+
+ + SMP merged into the mainline: While FreeRTOS introduced Asymmetric
+ Multiprocessing (AMP) support in 2017, FreeRTOS Version 11.0.0 is the
+ first to merge Symmetric Multiprocessing (SMP) support into the mainline
+ release. SMP enables one instance of the FreeRTOS Kernel to schedule tasks
+ across multiple identical processor cores. We thank Mike Bruno and Jerry
+ McCarthy of XMOS and, Darian Liang, Sudeep Mohanty and Zim Kalinowski of
+ Espressif Systems for their contributions.
+ + Switch MISRA compliance checking from PC Lint to Coverity, and update from
+ MISRA C:2004 to MISRA C:2012.
+ + Add a template FreeRTOSConfig.h, inclusive of an abbreviated explanation of
+ each configuration item. Application writers can use this template as a
+ starting point to create the FreeRTOSConfig.h file for their application.
+ + Add a template FreeRTOS port which can be used as a starting point for
+ developing a new FreeRTOS port.
+ + Add bounds checking and obfuscation to internal heap block pointers in
+ heap_4.c and heap_5.c to help catch pointer corruptions. The application can
+ enable these checks by setting configENABLE_HEAP_PROTECTOR to 1 in their
+ FreeRTOSConfig.h. We thank @oliverlavery for their contribution.
+ + Update vTaskList and vTaskGetRunTimeStats APIs to replace the use of sprintf
+ with snprintf.
+ + Add trace macros to ports that enable tracing the interaction of ISRs with
+ scheduler events. We thank @conara for their contribution.
+ + Add trace macros that enable tracing of entering and exiting all APIs. We
+ thank @Techcore123 for their contribution.
+ + Add uxTaskBasePriorityGet and uxTaskBasePriorityGetFromISR APIs to get the
+ base priority of a task. The base priority of a task is the priority that
+ was last assigned to the task - which due to priority inheritance, may not
+ be the current priority of the task.
+ + Add pdTICKS_TO_MS macro to convert time in FreeRTOS ticks to time in
+ milliseconds. We thank @Dazza0 for their contribution.
+ + Add default implementations of vApplicationGetIdleTaskMemory and
+ vApplicationGetTimerTaskMemory. The application can enable these default
+ implementations by setting configKERNEL_PROVIDED_STATIC_MEMORY to 1 in their
+ FreeRTOSConfig.h. We thank @mdnr-g for their contribution.
+ + Update vTaskGetInfo to include start and end of the stack whenever both
+ values are available. We thank @vinceburns for their contribution.
+ + Prevent tasks waiting for a notification from being resumed by calls to
+ vTaskResume or vTaskResumeFromISR. We thank @Moral-Hao for their
+ contribution.
+ + Add asserts to validate that the application has correctly installed
+ FreeRTOS handlers for PendSV and SVCall interrupts on Cortex-M devices.
+ We thank @jefftenney for their contribution.
+ + Rename ARM_CA53_64_BIT and ARM_CA53_64_BIT_SRE ports to Arm_AARCH64 and
+ Arm_AARCH64_SRE respectively as these ports are applicable to all AArch64
+ architecture. We thank @urutva for their contribution.
+ + Add CMake support to allow the application writer to select the RISC-V
+ chip extension. We thank @JoeBenczarski for their contribution.
+ + Add CMake support to allow the application writer to build an application
+ with static allocation only. We thank @conara for their contribution.
+ + Make taskYIELD available to unprivileged tasks for ARMv8-M ports.
+ + Update Cortex-M23 ports to not use PSPLIM_NS. We thank @urutva for their
+ contribution.
+ + Update the SysTick setup code for ARMv8-M ports to first configure the clock
+ source and then enable SysTick. This is needed to address a bug in QEMU
+ versions older than 7.0.0, which causes an emulation error if SysTick is
+ enabled without first selecting a valid clock source. We thank @jefftenney
+ for their contribution.
+ + Add the port-optimized task selection algorithm optionally available for
+ ARMv7-M ports to the ARMv8-M ports. We thank @jefftenney for their
+ contribution.
+ + Improve the speed of pvPortMalloc in heap_4.c and heap_5.c by removing
+ unnecessary steps while splitting a large memory block into two. We thank
+ @Moral-Hao for their contribution.
+ + Shorten the critical section in pvPortMalloc in heap_2.c, heap_4.c and
+ heap_5.c by moving the size calculation out of the critical section. We thank
+ @Moral-Hao for their contribution.
+ + Update xTaskNotifyWait and ulTaskNotifyTake to remove the non-deterministic
+ operation of traversing a linked link from a critical section. We thank
+ @karver8 for their contribution.
+ + Fix stack end and stack size computation in POSIX port to meet the stack
+ alignment requirements on MacOS. We thank @tegimeki for their contribution.
+ + Update the vTaskPrioritySet implementation to use the new priority when the
+ task has inherited priority from a mutex it is holding, and the new priority
+ is bigger than the inherited priority. We thank @Moral-Hao for their
+ contribution.
+ + Add stack alignment adjustment if stack grows upwards. We thank @ivq for
+ their contribution.
+ + Fix pxTopOfStack calculation in configINIT_TLS_BLOCK when picolib C is
+ selected as the C library implementation to ensure that
+ pxPortInitialiseStack does not overwrite the data in the TLS block portion
+ of the stack. We thank @bebebib-rs for their contribution.
+ + Fix vPortEndScheduler() for the MSVC port so that the function
+ prvProcessSimulatedInterrupts is not stuck in an infinite loop when the
+ scheduler is stopped. We thank @Ju1He1 for their contribution.
+ + Add the Pull Request (PR) Process explaining the stages a PR goes through.
+
+Changes between FreeRTOS V10.6.1 and FreeRTOS V10.6.2 released November 29, 2023
+
+ + Add the following improvements to the new MPU wrapper (mpu_wrappers_v2.c)
+ introduced in version 10.6.0:
+ - Introduce Access Control List (ACL) feature to allow the application
+ writer to control an unprivileged task’s access to kernel objects.
+ - Update the system call entry mechanism to only require one Supervisor
+ Call (SVC) instruction.
+ - Wrap parameters for system calls with more than four parameters in a
+ struct to avoid special handling during system call entry.
+ - Fix 2 possible integer overflows.
+ - Convert some asserts to run time parameter checks.
+
+Changes between FreeRTOS V10.6.0 and FreeRTOS V10.6.1 released August 17, 2023
+
+ + Add runtime parameter checks to functions in mpu_wrappers_v2.c file.
+ The same checks are already performed in API implementations using
+ asserts.
+ We thank the following people for their inputs in these changes:
+ - Lan Luo, Zixia Liu of School of Computer Science and Technology,
+ Anhui University of Technology, China.
+ - Xinwen Fu of Department of Computer Science, University of
+ Massachusetts Lowell, USA.
+ - Xinhui Shao, Yumeng Wei, Huaiyu Yan, Zhen Ling of School of
+ Computer Science and Engineering, Southeast University, China.

Changes between FreeRTOS V10.5.1 and FreeRTOS 10.6.0 released July 13, 2023
+ Add a new MPU wrapper that places additional restrictions on unprivileged
