The NimBLE host buffers that consume a significant amount of memory are
now allocated dynamically.
The advantage is that, the memory can be reclaimed in cases where BLE
is turned off and not required for the current boot cycle
- Add menuconfig option for NimBLE host flow control
- Include changes in `blecent` example from upstream PR!702
- add ble_hs_lock in ble_gap_unpair Upstream PR!584
- ble_hs_hci_rx_evt, upstream PR!738

esp_common/esp_compiler: renamed esp_macros file to a more specific one
esp_common/esp_compiler: removed CONTAINER_OF macro, it was a duplicate
components/freertos: placed likely macros around port and critical sections
component/freertos: placed likely macros on lists module
components/freertos: placed unlikely macros inside of assertion points, they likely wont fail
components/freertos: added likely macros on queue modules
FreeRTOS queues are one of most hot code path, because to queues itself tend to
be used a lot by the applications, besides that, queues are the basic primitive
to form both mutexes and semaphores, The focus here is to place likely
macros inside lowest level send and receive routines, since they're common
from all kobjects: semaphores, queues, mutexes and FR internals (like timer queue)
components/lwip: placed likely/unlikey on net-interfaces code
components/fatfs: added unlikely macros on disk drivers code
components/spiffs: added unlikely macros on low level fs driver
components/freertos: added likely/unlikely macros on timers and ticker
freertos/event_group: placed likely/unlikely macros on hot event group code paths
components/sdmmc: placed likely / unlikely macros on lower level path of sdmmc
components/bt: placed unlikely macros around bt HCI functions calling
components/lwip: added likely/unlikely macros on OS port code section
components/freertos: fix code style on tick handler
- Minor fix to remove while loop & delay while transmitting data from
host to controller.
- Add menuconfig option to enable predefined public-private keypair for
debugging (Vol. 3, Part H, 2.3.5.6.1)
- Additional menuconfig option to select either mbedTLS or Tinycrypt from NimBLE.
- Addition of `CMAC` and `ECP_RESTARTABLE` to mbedTLS menuconfig option and
`esp_config.h`.
- Changes NimBLE `component.mk` and `CMakeLists.txt` to support mbedTLS option.
- Minor changes to `app_mesh.c` application.
- Add option to configure stack size of NimBLE host task, update NimBLE
submodule for the same.
- Change max concurrent connections supported to 9 inline with controller.
