Disabling this option is DEPRECATED.
If disabled, only the main thread is available, so a main() function
must be provided. Interrupts are available. Kernel objects will most
probably not behave as expected, especially with regards to pending,
since the main thread cannot pend, it being the only thread in the
system.
Many drivers and subsystems will not work with this option
set to 'n'; disable only when you REALLY know what you are
doing.

help
This defines a set of priorities at the (numerically) lowest
end of the range which have "meta-irq" behavior. Runnable
threads at these priorities will always be scheduled before
threads at lower priorities, EVEN IF those threads are
otherwise cooperative and/or have taken a scheduler lock.
Making such a thread runnable in any way thus has the effect
of "interrupting" the current task and running the meta-irq
thread synchronously, like an exception or system call. The
intent is to use these priorities to implement "interrupt
bottom half" or "tasklet" behavior, allowing driver
subsystems to return from interrupt context but be guaranteed
that user code will not be executed (on the current CPU)
until the remaining work is finished. As this breaks the
"promise" of non-preemptibility granted by the current API
for cooperative threads, this tool probably shouldn't be used
from application code.
config SCHED_DEADLINE
bool "Enable earliest-deadline-first scheduling"
help
This enables a simple "earliest deadline first" scheduling
mode where threads can set "deadline" deltas measured in
k_cycle_get_32() units. Priority decisions within (!!) a
single priority will choose the next expiring deadline and
not simply the least recently added thread.
config SCHED_CPU_MASK
bool "Enable CPU mask affinity/pinning API"
depends on SCHED_DUMB
help
When true, the application will have access to the
k_thread_cpu_mask_*() APIs which control per-CPU affinity masks in
SMP mode, allowing applications to pin threads to specific CPUs or
disallow threads from running on given CPUs. Note that as currently
implemented, this involves an inherent O(N) scaling in the number of
idle-but-runnable threads, and thus works only with the DUMB
scheduler (as SCALABLE and MULTIQ would see no benefit).
Note that this setting does not technically depend on SMP and is
implemented without it for testing purposes, but for obvious reasons
makes sense as an application API only where there is more than one
CPU. With one CPU, it's just a higher overhead version of
k_thread_start/stop().
config MAIN_STACK_SIZE

default 2048 if COVERAGE_GCOV
default 512 if ZTEST && !(RISCV || X86)

help
When the initialization is complete, the thread executing it then
executes the main() routine, so as to reuse the stack used by the
initialization, which would be wasted RAM otherwise.
After initialization is complete, the thread runs main().

default 2048 if COVERAGE_GCOV
default 1024 if XTENSA
default 512 if RISCV
default 384 if DYNAMIC_OBJECTS
default 320 if ARC || (ARM && CPU_HAS_FPU)
default 256
help
Depending on the work that the idle task must do, most likely due to
power management but possibly to other features like system event
logging (e.g. logging when the system goes to sleep), the idle thread
may need more stack space than the default value.
config ISR_STACK_SIZE
int "ISR and initialization stack size (in bytes)"
default 2048
help
This option specifies the size of the stack used by interrupt
service routines (ISRs), and during kernel initialization.
config THREAD_STACK_INFO
bool "Thread stack info"
help
This option allows each thread to store the thread stack info into
the k_thread data structure.
config THREAD_CUSTOM_DATA
bool "Thread custom data"
help
This option allows each thread to store 32 bits of custom data,
which can be accessed using the k_thread_custom_data_xxx() APIs.
config THREAD_USERSPACE_LOCAL_DATA
bool
depends on USERSPACE
default y if ERRNO && !ERRNO_IN_TLS
config ERRNO
bool "Enable errno support"
default y
help
Enable per-thread errno in the kernel. Application and library code must
include errno.h provided by the C library (libc) to use the errno
symbol. The C library must access the per-thread errno via the
z_errno() symbol.
config ERRNO_IN_TLS
bool "Store errno in thread local storage (TLS)"
depends on ERRNO && THREAD_LOCAL_STORAGE
default y
help
Use thread local storage to store errno instead of storing it in
the kernel thread struct. This avoids a syscall if userspace is enabled.
choice SCHED_ALGORITHM
prompt "Scheduler priority queue algorithm"
default SCHED_DUMB
help
The kernel can be built with with several choices for the
ready queue implementation, offering different choices between
code size, constant factor runtime overhead and performance
scaling when many threads are added.
config SCHED_DUMB
bool "Simple linked-list ready queue"
help
When selected, the scheduler ready queue will be implemented
as a simple unordered list, with very fast constant time
performance for single threads and very low code size.
Choose this on systems with constrained code size that will
never see more than a small number (3, maybe) of runnable
threads in the queue at any given time. On most platforms
(that are not otherwise using the red/black tree) this
results in a savings of ~2k of code size.
config SCHED_SCALABLE
bool "Red/black tree ready queue"
help
When selected, the scheduler ready queue will be implemented
as a red/black tree. This has rather slower constant-time
insertion and removal overhead, and on most platforms (that
are not otherwise using the rbtree somewhere) requires an
extra ~2kb of code. But the resulting behavior will scale
cleanly and quickly into the many thousands of threads. Use
this on platforms where you may have many threads (very
roughly: more than 20 or so) marked as runnable at a given
time. Most applications don't want this.
config SCHED_MULTIQ
bool "Traditional multi-queue ready queue"
depends on !SCHED_DEADLINE
help
When selected, the scheduler ready queue will be implemented
as the classic/textbook array of lists, one per priority
(max 32 priorities). This corresponds to the scheduler
algorithm used in Zephyr versions prior to 1.12. It incurs
only a tiny code size overhead vs. the "dumb" scheduler and
runs in O(1) time in almost all circumstances with very low
constant factor. But it requires a fairly large RAM budget
to store those list heads, and the limited features make it
incompatible with features like deadline scheduling that
need to sort threads more finely, and SMP affinity which
need to traverse the list of threads. Typical applications
with small numbers of runnable threads probably want the
DUMB scheduler.
endchoice # SCHED_ALGORITHM
choice WAITQ_ALGORITHM
prompt "Wait queue priority algorithm"
default WAITQ_DUMB
help
The wait_q abstraction used in IPC primitives to pend
threads for later wakeup shares the same backend data
structure choices as the scheduler, and can use the same
options.
config WAITQ_SCALABLE
bool "Use scalable wait_q implementation"
help
When selected, the wait_q will be implemented with a
balanced tree. Choose this if you expect to have many
threads waiting on individual primitives. There is a ~2kb
code size increase over WAITQ_DUMB (which may be shared with
SCHED_SCALABLE) if the rbtree is not used elsewhere in the
application, and pend/unpend operations on "small" queues
will be somewhat slower (though this is not generally a
performance path).
config WAITQ_DUMB

default 100 if QEMU_TARGET || SOC_POSIX

default 100
help
This option specifies the nominal frequency of the system clock in Hz.
For asynchronous timekeeping, the kernel defines a "ticks" concept. A
"tick" is the internal count in which the kernel does all its internal
uptime and timeout bookeeping. Interrupts are expected to be delivered
on tick boundaries to the extent practical, and no fractional ticks
are tracked.
The choice of tick rate is configurable by this option. Also the number
of cycles per tick should be chosen so that 1 millisecond is exactly
represented by an integral number of ticks. Defaults on most hardware
platforms (ones that support setting arbitrary interrupt timeouts) are
expected to be in the range of 10 kHz, with software emulation
platforms and legacy drivers using a more traditional 100 Hz value.
Note that when available and enabled, in "tickless" mode
this config variable specifies the minimum available timing
granularity, not necessarily the number or frequency of
interrupts delivered to the kernel.
A value of 0 completely disables timer support in the kernel.
config SYS_CLOCK_HW_CYCLES_PER_SEC

config LEGACY_TIMEOUT_API

help
The k_timeout_t API has changed to become an opaque type

availability of absolute timeout values (which require the
extra precision).

This option enables compiler stack canaries.
If stack canaries are supported by the compiler, it will emit
extra code that inserts a canary value into the stack frame when
a function is entered and validates this value upon exit.
Stack corruption (such as that caused by buffer overflow) results

This option performs a limited form of Address Space Layout
Randomization by offsetting some random value to a thread's
initial stack pointer upon creation. This hinders some types of
security attacks by making the location of any given stack frame
non-deterministic.
This feature can waste up to the specified size in bytes the stack
region, which is carved out of the total size of the stack region.
A reasonable minimum value would be around 100 bytes if this can
be spared.

This hidden option is selected by the target architecture if
architecture-specific data is needed on a per memory domain basis.
If so, the architecture defines a 'struct arch_mem_domain' which is
embedded within every struct k_mem_domain. The architecture
must also define the arch_mem_domain_init() function to set this up
when a memory domain is created.
Typical uses might be a set of page tables for that memory domain.
config ARCH_MEM_DOMAIN_SYNCHRONOUS_API
bool
depends on USERSPACE
help
This hidden option is selected by the target architecture if
modifying a memory domain's partitions at runtime, or changing
a memory domain's thread membership requires synchronous calls
into the architecture layer.
If enabled, the architecture layer must implement the following
APIs:
arch_mem_domain_thread_add
arch_mem_domain_thread_remove
arch_mem_domain_partition_remove
arch_mem_domain_partition_add
arch_mem_domain_destroy
It's important to note that although supervisor threads can be
members of memory domains, they have no implications on supervisor
thread access to memory. Memory domain APIs may only be invoked from
supervisor mode.
For these reasons, on uniprocessor systems unless memory access
policy is managed in separate software constructions like page
tables, these APIs don't need to be implemented as the underlying
memory management hardware will be reprogrammed on context switch
anyway.

running on cache-incoherent architectures only. Note that
when this is selected, there is an implicit API change that
