config MM_MULTIHEAP
bool "Build support for multiple heaps"
default n
---help---
Build interfaces to support multiple heaps. This should not be
confused with memory regions. One heap may be composed of multiple,
non-contiguous memory regions. The fact that the heap is composed
of such multiple regions is invisible to the end-user (other than
the heap comes pre-fragmented). Multiple heaps, on the other hand,
supports a separate set of allocators that operate on a separate set
of memory regions.
config MM_KERNEL_HEAP
bool "Support a protected, kernel heap"
default y
depends on NUTTX_KERNEL && MM_MULTIHEAP
---help---
Partition heap memory into two parts: (1) a protected, kernel-mode
heap accessible only by the NuttX kernel, and (2) an unprotected
user-mode heap for use by applications. If you are only interested
in protected the kernel from read access, then this option is not
necessary. If you wish to secure the kernel data as well, then
this option should be selected.
The kernel heap size that is used is provided a a platform-specific
up_allocate_kheap() interface. This configuration setting is made
available to that platform specific code. However, the
up_allocate_kheap() interface may chose to ignore this setting if it
has a more appropriate heap allocation strategy.
config MM_KERNEL_HEAPSIZE
int "Kernal heap size"
default 8192
depends on MM_KERNEL_HEAP
---help---
This is the size of the a protected, kernel-mode heap (in bytes).
The remaining of available memory is given to the unprotected
user-mode heap. This value may need to be aligned to units of the
size of the smallest memory protection region.
config MM_SMALL
bool "Small memory model"
default n
---help---
Each memory allocation has a small allocation overhead. The size
of that overhead is normally determined by the "width" of the
address support by the MCU. MCUs that support 16-bit addressability
have smaller overhead than devices that support 32-bit addressability.
However, there are many MCUs that support 32-bit addressability *but*
have internal SRAM of size less than or equal to 64Kb. In this case,
CONFIG_MM_SMALL can be defined so that those MCUs will also benefit
from the smaller, 16-bit-based allocation overhead.
NOTE: If MM_MULTIHEAP is selected, then this applies to all heaps.
config MM_REGIONS
int "Number of memory regions"
default 1
---help---
If the architecture includes multiple, non-contiguous regions of
memory to allocate from, this specifies the number of memory regions
that the memory manager must handle and enables the API
mm_addregion(heap, start, end);
NOTE: If MM_MULTIHEAP is selected, then this maximum number of regions
applies to all heaps.
config ARCH_HAVE_HEAP2
bool
config HEAP2_BASE
hex "Start address of second user heap region"
default 0x00000000
depends on ARCH_HAVE_HEAP2
---help---
The base address of the second heap region.
config HEAP2_SIZE
int "Size of the second user heap region"
default 0
depends on ARCH_HAVE_HEAP2
---help---
The size of the second heap region.
config GRAN
bool "Enable Granule Allocator"
default n
---help---
Enable granual allocator support. Allocations will be aligned to the
granule size; allocations will be in units of the granule size.
Larger granules will give better performance and less overhead but
more losses of memory due to alignment and quantization waste.
NOTE: The current implementation also restricts the maximum
allocation size to 32 granaules. That restriction could be
eliminated with some additional coding effort.
config GRAN_SINGLE
bool "Single Granule Allocator"
default n
depends on GRAN
---help---
Select if there is only one instance of the granule allocator (i.e.,
gran_initialize will be called only once. In this case, (1) there
are a few optimizations that can can be done and (2) the GRAN_HANDLE
is not needed.
config GRAN_INTR
bool "Interrupt level support"
default n
depends on GRAN
---help---
Normally mutual exclusive access to granule allocator data is assured
using a semaphore. If this option is set then, instead, mutual
exclusion logic will disable interrupts. While this options is more
invasive to system performance, it will also support use of the granule
allocator from interrupt level logic.
config DEBUG_GRAN
bool "Granule Allocator Debug"
default n
depends on GRAN && DEBUG
---help---
Just like CONFIG_DEBUG_MM, but only generates ouput from the gran
allocation logic.
