This option is set by the platform's Kconfig file and the user should generally avoid modifying it via the menu configuration. config SYS_CLOCK_EXISTS bool # omit prompt to signify a "hidden" option default n if (SYS_CLOCK_TICKS_PER_SEC = 0) default y help This option specifies that the kernel lacks timer support. config INIT_STACKS bool prompt "Initialize stack areas" default n help This option instructs the kernel to initialize stack areas with a known value (0xaa) before they are first used, so that the high water mark can be easily determined. This applies to the stack areas for both tasks and fibers, as well as for the microkernel server's command stack. config XIP bool prompt "Execute in place" help This option allows the kernel to operate with its text and read-only sections residing in ROM (or similar read-only memory). Not all platforms support this option so it must be used with care; you must also supply a linker command file when building your image. Enabling this option increases both the code and data footprint of the image. config RING_BUFFER bool prompt "Enable ring buffers" default n help Enable usage of ring buffers. Similar to nanokernel FIFOs but manage their own buffer memory and can store arbitrary data. For optimal performance, use buffer sizes that are a power of 2. config EVENT_LOGGER bool prompt "Enable event logger" default n select RING_BUFFER help Enable event logging feature. Allow the usage of a ring buffer to transmit event messages with a single interface to collect them. config KERNEL_EVENT_LOGGER bool prompt "Enable kernel event logger features" default n select EVENT_LOGGER help This feature enables the usage of the profiling logger. Provides the logging of sleep events (either entering or leaving low power conditions), context switch events, interrupt events, boot events and a method to collect these event messages. config KERNEL_EVENT_LOGGER_BUFFER_SIZE int prompt "Kernel event logger buffer size" default 128 depends on KERNEL_EVENT_LOGGER help Buffer size in 32-bit words. menu "Kernel event logging points" depends on KERNEL_EVENT_LOGGER config KERNEL_EVENT_LOGGER_CONTEXT_SWITCH bool prompt "Context switch event logging point" default n depends on KERNEL_EVENT_LOGGER help Enable the context switch event messages. config KERNEL_EVENT_LOGGER_INTERRUPT bool prompt "Interrupt event logging point" default n depends on KERNEL_EVENT_LOGGER help Enable interrupt event messages. These messages provide the following information: The time when interrupts occur. config KERNEL_EVENT_LOGGER_SLEEP bool prompt "Sleep event logging point" default n depends on KERNEL_EVENT_LOGGER && ((MICROKERNEL && ADVANCED_POWER_MANAGEMENT) || NANOKERNEL) help Enable low power condition event messages. These messages provide the following information: - When the CPU went to sleep mode. - When the CPU woke up. - The ID of the interrupt that woke the CPU up. endmenu menu "Security Options" config STACK_CANARIES bool prompt "Compiler stack canaries" default n help This option enables compiler stack canaries support kernel functions. 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 in a fatal error condition for the running entity. Enabling this option can result in a significant increase in footprint and an associated decrease in performance. If stack canaries are not supported by the compiler, enabling this option has no effect. endmenu endmenu source "kernel/nanokernel/Kconfig" config TICKLESS_IDLE bool prompt "Tickless idle" default y depends on ADVANCED_POWER_MANAGEMENT help This option suppresses periodic system clock interrupts whenever the kernel becomes idle. This permits the system to remain in a power saving state for extended periods without having to wake up to service each tick as it occurs. config TICKLESS_IDLE_THRESH int prompt "Tickless idle threshold" default 3 depends on TICKLESS_IDLE && MICROKERNEL help This option disables clock interrupt suppression when the kernel idles for only a short period of time. It specifies the minimum number of ticks that must occur before the next kernel timer expires in order for suppression to happen. if MICROKERNEL source "kernel/microkernel/Kconfig" endif
