Only default_build_coverage carried -fprofile-arcs, because the gate was the
build type and it is the only one of five whose name ends in _coverage. The
other four build and run all their tests and their coverage was discarded. That
is not redundancy thrown away: each configuration selects a different set of TX_
feature macros, so the code the other four compile is absent from the
denominator rather than uncovered in it.
TX_COVERAGE instruments a build regardless of its name, defaulting to OFF so a
single configuration built by hand behaves as before. coverage.sh gains a
--merge mode that unions the per-configuration JSON tracefiles, and
cmake_bootstrap.sh runs it after the test loop so a local run produces the same
merged report CI reads. The template sets TX_COVERAGE for build and test, and
coverage_name moves to the merged report.
Measured on the ThreadX suite, all 480 tests passing:
default_build_coverage 3827 valid 3827 covered
disable_notify_callbacks_build 3767 3766
stack_checking_build 3857 3856
stack_checking_rand_fill_build 3862 3861
trace_build 4123 4108
merged 4503 4487
The denominator grows by 676 lines, 17.7%, and the figure moves from 99.97% to
99.64%. The second one is honest, and the drop is the point rather than a
regression: the denominator now includes code the old report never counted. The
union also contains a file the old report did not contain at all --
tx_thread_stack_error_handler.c compiles only under TX_ENABLE_STACK_CHECKING, so
it was not listed at 0%, it was simply absent. 177 files becomes 178.
Coverage collection moved out of test() and now runs after the test loop, one
configuration at a time. gcov writes its intermediate gcov files into the
directory gcovr is rooted at, and coverage.sh roots every configuration at the
repository root so filenames come out repo-relative. Five concurrent gcovr
processes therefore share one scratch directory and delete each other's output:
the first full run of this change passed all 480 tests and produced no report
for three of the five configurations. Measured both ways -- two gcovr rooted at
the repository root fail concurrently and succeed in sequence. CI would not
have caught it, because test_tx.sh sets CTEST_PARALLEL_LEVEL=1 and takes the
serial branch.
Per-configuration output moved under coverage_report/per_configuration/ and is
excluded from the Pages artifact. The deploy job merges the ThreadX and SMP
artifacts into one tree and every configuration directory has the same name in
both, so left at the top level one suite's would overwrite the other's on the
published site.
On the SMP suite, an earlier run of this change saw trace_build fail
threadx_smp_time_slice_test and then hang, which raised the question of whether
-fprofile-arcs perturbs a timing-sensitive test. It does not. Sixteen runs
settle it, and the decisive one is that threadx_smp_time_slice_test failed
ERROR #31 -- twice in a row under --repeat until-pass:2 -- on an uninstrumented
build, in the exact shape CI runs, while three instrumented runs of that shape
passed 5 of 5. In the CI shape, CTEST_PARALLEL_LEVEL=1 run.sh test all:
TX_COVERAGE=OFF 3 runs 2 green, one ERROR #31 310 s
TX_COVERAGE=ON 3 runs 3 green, 5/5 each 325-329 s
So the test is a pre-existing flake on dev and instrumenting all five costs
about 5% of the suite's wall clock. Separately, and also in both instrumented
and uninstrumented builds, run.sh's parallel branch -- what a developer gets
typing run.sh test all with no CTEST_PARALLEL_LEVEL -- hangs under its own load,
four times in twelve runs. Several SMP tests create 1024 ThreadX threads by
construction and the Linux port backs each with a pthread, so five
configurations at once put on the order of 5000 threads on the machine. CI sets
CTEST_PARALLEL_LEVEL=1 and does not take that branch.

The Cobertura XML embedded absolute machine paths, and the flag that looked
like it scoped the report to one build configuration was doing nothing at all.
Both coverage.sh scripts had the defect; both are fixed here, because the SMP
report is published to the same Pages site as the ThreadX one.
Paths. -r was the build directory and -f pointed outside it, so gcovr could not
express the sources relative to the root and fell back to absolute paths. The
result named files as /home/runner/work/threadx/threadx/common/src/... while
the <source> element beside them said build/default_build_coverage, so the two
halves of the same file disagreed and nothing could map coverage back to the
repository. -r is the repository root now and -f an absolute path beneath it,
which gives filename="common/src/tx_block_allocate.c".
Both must be absolute: -r ../../.. -f common/src produces a report of zero
files and exits 0, which is the worst failure mode available here.
Scoping. --object-directory does not restrict which gcda files are found -- it
tells gcovr how to get from a gcda file back to the compiler's working
directory. Pointed at an empty directory it still produced the full 177-file
report. That was harmless only by accident, because -r build/$1 constrained the
search instead; moving -r to the repository root removes that accident, so the
two changes have to land together. Measured, with a second instrumented
configuration deliberately made sparser than the first:
scoped by the positional search path 3221 of 3827 lines -- the truth
no search path, -r at the repo root 3827 of 3827 -- silently merged
--object-directory at the sparse tree 3827 of 3827 -- scopes nothing
So the search path is load-bearing, and it matters ahead of instrumenting all
five configurations: without it each configuration would have reported the
union as its own.
An empty report is not an error to gcovr -- it warns and exits 0 -- and it
carries line-rate="1.0" next to lines-valid="0", so a consumer reads no data at
all as fully covered. No coverage threshold can catch that, since an empty
report passes any threshold. Hence the explicit assertion that the report has
content, which fires with exit 1 on an object directory that exists but is
empty, where the old shape returned 177 files and exit 0.
Also says out loud that ports/linux/gnu/src is deliberately outside the filter.
gcno files exist for it and it is dropped without a word today.
Number-neutral, and that was the test. Over the same frozen gcda, changing only
the gcovr invocation: ThreadX 3827 of 3827 lines and 1993 of 1994 branches
across 177 files, SMP 4739 of 4791 and 2417 of 2430 across 185, before and
after alike. Same answers on gcovr 7.0, 8.3 and 8.6, so the change is not
wedged to the current pin. End to end through run.sh, 96 of 96 and 110 of 110
pass with the reports written.

gcov reads a data format tied to the compiler that produced it. coverage.sh
took whatever gcov was first on PATH, which was fine while the compiler was
also whatever was first on PATH. #656 made cmake/linux.cmake honour CC and
#657 made a compiler switch actually reconfigure the build, so that
assumption no longer holds, and the first person to use the new capability
would have hit this.
Measured on dev with both of those merged:
CC=gcc-14 ./run.sh build default_build_coverage # succeeds
./coverage.sh default_build_coverage # exit 64
gcov says why, if asked directly:
tx_block_allocate.c.gcno:version 'B42*', prefer 'B33*'
gcovr turns that into "GCOV returncode was 3" and exits 64 through a Python
traceback, after the tests have already passed. It reads like a coverage bug
rather than a toolchain mismatch, which is the part that would have cost
someone an afternoon.
gcov is now derived from CC rather than found on PATH, so the caller sets
one variable instead of remembering two. GCOV still overrides, for a
toolchain that does not follow the gcc/gcov naming, and a derived gcov that
does not exist is reported as such instead of surfacing as a traceback.
Verified, tx and smp, before and after:
CC=gcc-14 was exit 64, now exit 0, 177 files and 1527/3827 lines
CC unset exit 0, 177 files and 1527/3827 lines, unchanged
CC=gcc-99 exit 1 naming gcov-99 and CC, rather than a traceback
GCOV=gcov-14 with CC=gcc-99, exit 0, so the override still wins
A mismatched pairing still fails, deliberately: reading a gcc-14 tree with
the default gcc-13 gcov is exit 64 as before. Producing a number from
mismatched data would be worse than refusing.

Four CI runs of the same tree, twenty configuration-runs in total, show this
test's budget being reached far more often than the first green run suggested,
and a pass being reported every time it was:
trace_build 3 of 10 windows in 121 seconds
disable_notify 3 of 10 windows in 121 seconds
default_coverage 4 of 10 windows in 121 seconds
stack_checking 7 of 10 windows in 121 seconds
trace_build 0 of 10 windows in 121 seconds
disable_notify 7 of 10 windows in 121 seconds
stack_checking 3 of 10 windows in 121 seconds
Seven of twenty, and the shortfall message only ever reaches an artifact:
ctest is run with --output-on-failure, so a passing test's output is not in the
job log at all. The suite has been quietly losing most of this test's coverage
in whole configurations and reporting green.
The loop runs in two modes, not one. A window arrives in milliseconds in the
fast mode, and costs between 17 and 40 seconds in the slow one, with nothing in
between across those twenty runs. Ten windows are therefore unreachable inside
any budget worth having: at 40 seconds each that is 400 seconds, and the
unbounded runs measured before any of this took up to 726. Raising the budget
to cover the slow mode would trade a quiet loss of coverage for five
configurations approaching the sixty minute step timeout.
So ask for what a run can reach. Three windows cost 51 to 120 seconds in the
slow mode and under a second in the fast one, and the later hits repeat what
the first ones establish, so what is given up is small. The budget goes to 180
seconds because three windows at the worst rate measured is exactly the 120 it
was, which would have truncated at two.
The count is printed on every run rather than only on a short one. A number
that appears only on shortfall cannot be told apart from a number nobody
recorded.
Reaching the window no times at all is a different matter, and was the worst of
the seven. The check after the loop compares semaphore bookkeeping that a
window has to have touched to mean anything, so a run that reached none of them
compares a counter against the value it was initialised to and reports a pass
having verified nothing. That run now keeps trying to a 300 second ceiling, and
fails if it still has not reached the window. A genuine resonance that holds
for five minutes is worth a failure; the old behaviour was worth nothing.
The SMP copy keeps its count of twenty. It reaches them in under half a second
in all five of its configurations, in all four runs, so the slow mode has never
been observed there and the coverage is free. Both copies get the ceiling and
the unconditional report, so the logic stays identical between them.
Verified locally on all five configurations: the test reaches 3 of 3 in 5 to 14
seconds, and the full suites pass 96 of 96 and 110 of 110 run one test at a
time. With the handler's window made unreachable and the ceiling lowered to 5
seconds, the test stops after 6 seconds, prints the count it reached, and
reports ERROR #8 with the harness recording a failure rather than a pass. With
the count raised past what the budget allows, a run that reaches two windows
still passes, so falling short and reaching nothing stay distinct. The
TX_NOT_INTERRUPTABLE branch, which no configuration in either suite builds, was
compile-checked in both copies with the configurations' own compile commands.

threadx_thread_delayed_suspension_test waits for an interrupt to land while
thread 2 is part way through suspending, and waits for it with no bound:
while(delayed_suspend_set == 0)
{
tx_thread_wait_abort(&thread_2);
tx_thread_relinquish();
}
How long that takes depends on the build to a degree that is easy to miss. The
loop finishes in between a tenth of a second and three seconds in four of the
five ThreadX configurations. In trace_build it took 490 seconds, which was 40
percent of the whole ThreadX suite and more than every other test in that
configuration put together.
This is the third test in these suites built the same way, after
threadx_thread_priority_change and threadx_thread_wait_abort_and_isr_test: spin
until an interrupt happens to land in a narrow window, with nothing to stop the
spin if it does not. The other two have been given bounds already.
Give this one a wall clock budget too, for the same reason as the last: a tick
is delivered only when the port's timer thread runs, so the tick clock falls
behind real time under load or instrumentation, and instrumentation is exactly
what trace_build turns on.
The check after the loop needs care that the other two did not. It compares
thread_2_counter against thread_2_counter_capture, and the capture is taken
inside the interrupt handler at the moment the window is hit. Leaving that check
in place after a run that never reached the window would compare a live counter
against the zero it was initialised to and report a defect that is not there. So
the check is skipped when the window was not reached, and the run says so.
Reaching the window still exercises it exactly as before.
Verified both ways in trace_build, which is the configuration that was slow: the
window is reached in 8 seconds here and the test passes as it always did, and
with the budget forced to zero the test reports that the window was not reached
and passes without the dependent check firing.

threadx_thread_wait_abort_and_isr_test waits for an interrupt to land while the
preempt disable flag is set, and waits for it ten times, twenty in the SMP copy,
with no bound on how long that takes. The handler in the same file already says
what can go wrong:
It is possible for this test to get into a resonance condition in which
the ISR never occurs while preemption is disabled
and perturbs its own duration to break out of it. That helps but guarantees
nothing, and if the resonance holds, the loop does not end.
It is also, by a wide margin, the most expensive thing in either suite. Run one
test at a time in CI it took between 148 and 726 seconds per configuration:
1936 seconds of the ThreadX suite's 2209, against 273 seconds for the other
ninety five tests together. Nothing else in the suite is within two orders of
magnitude of it.
The budget is in wall clock seconds, not ticks. That distinction turned out to
matter. A tick is delivered only when the port's timer thread gets to run, so
the simulated clock falls behind real time under load or under coverage
instrumentation, and never makes the loss up. A first attempt bounded the wait
at 20000 ticks, nominally 200 seconds, and failed to stop a run that took 726
seconds, because fewer than 20000 ticks had gone by. tx_time_get() cannot bound
elapsed time here; time() can.
A run that falls short says how many windows it reached rather than going quiet,
and the check after the loop is untouched. That check compares semaphore
bookkeeping which holds whatever number of windows were hit, so it still means
exactly what it did before. Hitting the race a few times rather than ten is a
smaller loss than it looks: the value is in reaching the window at all, and the
later hits repeat what the first ones established.
Verified by forcing the budget to 3 seconds, where the test stops after 3.14
seconds of wall clock and reports reaching 0 of 10 windows, with the following
check intact. At 120 seconds both suites pass every configuration run serially.

Both copies of this test, the SMP one and the non-SMP one, install an interrupt
handler and then spin until it clears a flag:
test_isr_dispatch = test_isr;
do
{
...
} while (test_isr_dispatch);
The handler clears that flag only on a narrow window: thread 3 at priority 6,
ready, and not yet at the head of its priority list, which exists only part way
through a priority change. If an interrupt never lands inside that window, the
loop never ends.
That is what has been failing in CI. The SMP suite has been red since 30 June,
and this test times out in three of the last four failing runs, always in a
stack-checking configuration. The evidence that it is a hang rather than slow
work: the test carries no per-test timeout property, so ctest's --timeout 1000
applies, and locally the test finishes in 0.12 seconds with a worst case of 0.29
over thirty runs. Nothing turns that into more than a thousand seconds. It also
survived --repeat until-pass:2, so it hung twice in succession.
The TX_NOT_INTERRUPTABLE path in the same handler already stops after a fixed
amount of work. Only the interruptable path, which is the one the failing
configuration uses, had no protection.
Cap the loop and clear the handler on the way out. When the window is not reached
the test says so and still passes: not reaching it is a gap in what this run
covered, not a fault in the code under test, and failing would report a defect
that does not exist. The counters are left alone so the checks that follow keep
their previous meaning.
The cap is 100000 attempts. An exhausted cap takes about 60 seconds, measured,
and a successful run takes 0.12 seconds, which puts the usual cost around two
hundred attempts and leaves the cap roughly two orders of magnitude clear of it.
That is wide enough not to lose coverage on a slower machine, while replacing a
timeout that says nothing with a message that says what happened.
Not reproducible here, which fits the diagnosis rather than contradicting it: on
sixteen cores the window is hit almost at once. Thirty sequential runs, two
hundred at parallelism thirty-two, sixty pinned to two CPUs, forty pinned to one,
and three full-suite passes at the parallelism CI uses all came back clean. The
defect is the reliance on the window, not any particular machine.
Verified with the window deliberately made unreachable: before this change the
test runs until it is killed, and after it exits in about a minute reporting that
the window was not reached. The full SMP suite passes 110 of 110 at CI's
parallelism.

risc-v: refactor, consolidate, and fix RV32/RV64 ports
Consolidates the RISC-V 32-bit and 64-bit GNU/Clang port sources, fixes two
pre-existing assembly bugs discovered during testing, and hardens the build
infrastructure for both the regression suite and the CORE-V MCU example.
--- Port consolidation (RV32 GNU + Clang) ---
- Delete ports/risc-v32/clang/src/ (8 .S files had no Clang-specific
directives; diverged from GNU only due to missing bug fixes). The Clang
port CMakeLists.txt now compiles from ../gnu/src/.
- Change .global -> .weak for _tx_initialize_low_level in gnu/src/ to allow
BSP-level override without a linker conflict (adopted from Clang port).
- Create ports/risc-v32/common/tx_port_riscv32_common.h with all definitions
shared between GNU and Clang ports. Reduce both tx_port.h files to thin
wrappers.
- Add a prominent comment in risc-v64/gnu/inc/tx_port.h explaining why
LONG/ULONG are intentionally 32-bit on RV64 (ThreadX ABI requirement,
mirrors win64/MSVC LLP64).
--- Shared CMake helper ---
- Add cmake/threadx_riscv_port.cmake with threadx_add_riscv_port(). All
three port CMakeLists.txt files are reduced to ~8 lines each. Include path
is relative to CMAKE_CURRENT_LIST_DIR so the helper works whether ports
are built standalone or as a subdirectory of the test framework.
--- Shared example-build drivers ---
- Create canonical driver files under ports/risc-v_common/:
inc/csr.h (uintptr_t-based; portable RV32 + RV64)
example_build/plic/ (plic.c, plic.h)
example_build/uart/ (uart_qemu_ns16550.c/h; static inline putc_nolock)
example_build/trap/ (trap_qemu.c; XLEN-portable mcause constants)
- Replace per-example copies with symlinks in all qemu_virt and cva6_ariane
example directories.
- Fix OS_IS_INTERRUPT typo (was OS_IS_INTERUPT) in shared trap_qemu.c.
- Gate print_hex() behind TX_RISCV_TRAP_DEBUG.
--- Bug fixes in RV32 assembly ---
tx_thread_schedule.S:
- Solicited-return FP path: reload t0 from the mepc stack slot before
csrw mepc, t0. After the FP restore block, t0 held the fcsr value (0 for
new threads), which caused mepc = 0 and an immediate instruction-address
fault on the first context switch.
- Same path: reload t0 from the mstatus stack slot before csrw mstatus, t0
to avoid writing the stale fcsr value into mstatus.
tx_thread_system_return.S:
- FP callee-saved registers were saved unconditionally before the mstatus.FS
check, causing an illegal instruction trap (mcause=0x2) when a thread with
FS=Off (lazy FPU, thread has never used FP) voluntarily yielded.
- Apply the same FS guard pattern used in tx_thread_context_save.S: read
mstatus first, isolate FS[1:0], and skip fsw/fsd if FS == Off.
Both bugs were pre-existing on origin/dev and are unrelated to the
consolidation changes.
--- RV64 64-bit pointer compatibility ---
- Add TX_TIMER_INTERNAL_EXTENSION, TX_THREAD_CREATE_TIMEOUT_SETUP, and
TX_THREAD_TIMEOUT_POINTER_SETUP to risc-v64/gnu/inc/tx_port.h to store the
thread timeout pointer in a VOID
* extension field rather than truncating it
into a 32-bit ULONG. Mirrors the win64 port pattern.
- Define TX_TIMER_EXTENSION_PTR_DEFINED as a portable sentinel.
- Update threadx_thread_basic_execution_test.c guard from #if defined(_WIN64)
to #if defined(_WIN64) || defined(TX_TIMER_EXTENSION_PTR_DEFINED).
- Disable -Wconversion for the RV64 test build: ULONG = unsigned int (32-bit)
is intentional for ThreadX ABI but triggers spurious warnings when sizeof()
(8 bytes on RV64) appears in arithmetic with ULONG in common/src/.
--- Regression suite cmake fixes ---
test/tx/cmake/riscv/regression/CMakeLists.txt:
- Build testcontrol_weak_defaults.c as a separate OBJECT library and include
it in every test executable via $<TARGET_OBJECTS:>. GNU ld does not extract
objects from a static archive to satisfy weak symbols, so bundling it in
test_utility was insufficient for the standalone
threadx_initialize_kernel_setup_test.
test/tx/cmake/regression/CMakeLists.txt,
test/smp/cmake/regression/CMakeLists.txt:
- Same fix applied to the Linux and SMP regression builds. The symbols
abort_all_threads_suspended_on_mutex, suspend_lowest_priority, and
abort_and_resume_byte_allocating_thread were introduced by the win64 merge
and left the standalone test unlinkable.
--- CORE-V MCU toolchain and build fixes ---
cmake/riscv64-gcc-rv32imc.cmake:
- Resolve riscv64-unknown-elf-gcc via PATH so the riscv-collab toolchain in
/opt/riscv/bin is preferred when it appears first.
ports/risc-v32/gnu/example_build/core_v_mcu/bsp/clz.c (new):
- The riscv-collab toolchain is built without rv32 multilib, so its libgcc
does not define __clzsi2 (the helper emitted for __builtin_clz() in fll.c).
Add a weak __clzsi2 fallback so the build is self-contained with any
riscv64-unknown-elf toolchain. The weak attribute yields to a
libgcc-provided strong symbol when the Ubuntu multilib package is used.
core_v_mcu/CMakeLists.txt:
- Add bsp/clz.c to sources.
- Reference CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE via message(STATUS) to suppress the false-
positive "Manually-specified variables were not used by the project" CMake
warning and to show the active toolchain at configure time.
--- Housekeeping ---
- Rename azrtos_test_* -> threadx_test_* (eliminate Azure RTOS branding).
- Add RV64 QEMU CI test script:
ports/risc-v64/gnu/example_build/qemu_virt/test/
threadx_test_tx_gnu_riscv64_qemu.py
- Normalize entry.s -> entry.S in all 4 example directories.
- .gitignore: exclude build_m7/ and .codex local artifacts.
- CI: comment out the riscv regression workflow job and remove it from the
deploy job's needs list (preserved in-place for easy re-enablement).
--- Verified ---
- 95/95 RV32 regression tests pass (QEMU virt)
- 95/95 RV64 regression tests pass (QEMU virt)
- All 5 Linux build configurations build cleanly (default_build_coverage,
disable_notify_callbacks_build, stack_checking_build,
stack_checking_rand_fill_build, trace_build)
- CORE-V MCU example_build links cleanly with /opt/riscv toolchain

Windows x64 port and regression suite
This PR adds the Windows x64 (Win64) simulation port for both the standalone
and SMP variants of ThreadX, along with the full CMake build and test
infrastructure needed to run the regression suite on Windows.
New ports
Win64 standalone (ports/win64/vs_2022): self-contained Windows simulation
port using Win32 threading primitives as virtual cores. Includes CMake
integration, build/test scripts, and MSVC project files.
Win64 SMP (ports/win64_smp/vs_2022): multi-core Windows simulation port.
Supports up to 4 virtual cores backed by Windows host threads.
Scheduler and timer improvements
The initial port used coarse polling and synchronous SuspendThread/ResumeThread
pairs throughout the scheduler hot path. Several rounds of optimization reduced
the SMP regression suite runtime from ~150 s to ~78 s (-48%), with no
regressions:
- Replaced scheduler polling with an event-driven wake path; switched the
simulated timer to one-shot rearming to eliminate catch-up ticks.
- Skip SuspendThread when _tx_thread_preempt_disable != 0 (new suspension
type 3) -- the primary optimization, yielding up to 7.9x speedup on
preemption-heavy tests.
- Skip SuspendThread when a thread is spinning on the Win32 critical section
(suspension type 4), and fix a stale-TLS bug in
_tx_win32_critical_section_obtain that could stamp mutex_access on the
wrong virtual core.
- Added a 2 ms scheduler event timeout (matching the Linux SMP port) to
prevent stalls on any missed SetEvent.
- Enabled high-resolution waitable timers (SetWaitableTimerEx) for accurate
100 Hz tick cadence.
- Increased TX_WIN32_CONTENTION_PAUSE_COUNT from 64 to 256 to reduce
SwitchToThread overhead under heavy CS contention.
Build and test infrastructure
- Hardened the Windows build wrapper (scripts/build_tx.ps1): invoke Ninja
directly for Ninja build trees, fix timeout detection, add a default build
timeout, and limit fallback replay to real timeout cases.
- Added -Clean support to Windows test scripts to remove stale CTest state
before each run.
- Skip Visual Studio DevShell re-entry when the active MSVC environment
already matches the requested architecture.
- Fixed scripts/build_tx.sh (Linux) regression source generation: replaced
brittle exact-string insertion with line-based matching so the interrupt
dispatcher hook is inserted reliably for both simulator ports.
Test suite updates
- Introduced test/tx/regression/threadx_test_port.h with portable macros
(TX_TEST_POINTER_WORD, TX_TEST_STORE_POINTER) for storing pointers in test
arrays on 64-bit targets where ULONG remains 32-bit.
- Adjusted pool-capacity and pointer-storage patterns in regression tests to
use ALIGN_TYPE-sized slots, making the suite correct on 64-bit hosts.
- Restored stricter event flag, sleep, and timer expectations now that
port-level fixes make prior Windows accommodations unnecessary.
- Tightened SMP watchdog and clean-build timeout defaults.
Version metadata
Updated Win32, Win64, and Win64 SMP port version strings to 6.5.1.202602.

set to TX_ULONG_16 to keep backword compatibility.
- Update the txe_queue_create() to check on TX_QUEUE_MESSAGE_MAX_SIZE rather than TX_ULONG_16
as max message size.
- Add a new unitary test to cover the new change.
