Freertos 的任务创建难点
1）堆栈生长的方向
2）64字节的对齐
3）任务堆栈初始化
Freertos 的任务使用任务控制块来进行管理，是对任务的抽象。任务本身就是一段可执行的代码，存储在嵌入式设备的只读存储器上。为了让操作系统的调度器方便管理，把这段代码在逻辑上分割为一个任务。
Freertos 中对于任务控制块的定义

很长的代码很多成员变量。这里讨论任务必须的部分
每个成员的含义代码中有详细的解释，需要强调的是pxStack代表的堆栈的起始地址，就是定义的时候。那个数组的首地址，代表堆栈空间通过他找到堆栈空间。
pxTopOfStack 表示栈顶，就是下一个写入栈的位置。

请看下图
动态初始化和静态初始化，所谓动静是指栈空间的创建。
初始化的部分目前看还比较单纯，传入参数赋值到对应的TCB结构体中。
State list item 代表任务存在于各个状态列表里面的 。State list 在Readylist里面代表任务处于就绪态

堆栈方向的理解
‘push’ 指令之后， sp (stack pointer)寄存器数值变大了，就是‘向上(高地址)长’；
反之，‘push’ 指令之后， sp (stack pointer)寄存器数值变小了，就是‘向下(低地址)长’。
上图标注了，不同的堆栈生长方向情况下，堆栈指针的初始化情况。
模拟一次堆栈入栈，是个时候任务函数指针终于排上用场。被填入到PC寄存器对应的栈位。
下一次正常做上下文切换的入栈时，任务函数的地址就会推入PC指针，任务得以开始启动。
可以理解为，处理器数据总线的宽度，如果地址按照字节的单次变动小于宽度，那么指针不会移动。所以确保指针能有效移动，需要进行对齐。N*length 1>=1 就可以有效移动指针。
任务的初始化，包含两部分
1.用户设定的各种数据进行装填，归总到TCB上
2.对任务内存空间初始化主要是栈的初始化
模拟一次任务的入栈是程序第一次得以运行的保证
