# Kernel configuration options # Copyright (c) 2014-2015 Wind River Systems, Inc. # SPDX-License-Identifier: Apache-2.0 menu "General Kernel Options" module = KERNEL module-str = kernel source "subsys/logging/Kconfig.template.log_config" config MULTITHREADING bool "Multi-threading" if ARCH_HAS_SINGLE_THREAD_SUPPORT default y help 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. config NUM_COOP_PRIORITIES int "Number of coop priorities" if MULTITHREADING default 1 if !MULTITHREADING default 16 range 0 128 help Number of cooperative priorities configured in the system. Gives access to priorities: K_PRIO_COOP(0) to K_PRIO_COOP(CONFIG_NUM_COOP_PRIORITIES - 1) or seen another way, priorities: -CONFIG_NUM_COOP_PRIORITIES to -1 This can be set to zero to disable cooperative scheduling. Cooperative threads always preempt preemptible threads. The total number of priorities is NUM_COOP_PRIORITIES + NUM_PREEMPT_PRIORITIES + 1 The extra one is for the idle thread, which must run at the lowest priority, and be the only thread at that priority. config NUM_PREEMPT_PRIORITIES int "Number of preemptible priorities" if MULTITHREADING default 0 if !MULTITHREADING default 15 range 0 128 help Number of preemptible priorities available in the system. Gives access to priorities 0 to CONFIG_NUM_PREEMPT_PRIORITIES - 1. This can be set to 0 to disable preemptible scheduling. The total number of priorities is NUM_COOP_PRIORITIES + NUM_PREEMPT_PRIORITIES + 1 The extra one is for the idle thread, which must run at the lowest priority, and be the only thread at that priority. config MAIN_THREAD_PRIORITY int "Priority of initialization/main thread" default -2 if !PREEMPT_ENABLED default 0 help Priority at which the initialization thread runs, including the start of the main() function. main() can then change its priority if desired. config COOP_ENABLED def_bool (NUM_COOP_PRIORITIES != 0) config PREEMPT_ENABLED def_bool (NUM_PREEMPT_PRIORITIES != 0) config PRIORITY_CEILING int "Priority inheritance ceiling" default -127 help This defines the minimum priority value (i.e. the logically highest priority) that a thread will acquire as part of k_mutex priority inheritance. config NUM_METAIRQ_PRIORITIES int "Number of very-high priority 'preemptor' threads" default 0 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 "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 "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 SCHED_CPU_MASK_PIN_ONLY bool "CPU mask variant with single-CPU pinning only" depends on SMP && SCHED_CPU_MASK help When true, enables a variant of SCHED_CPU_MASK where only one CPU may be specified for every thread. Effectively, all threads have a single "assigned" CPU and they will never be scheduled symmetrically. In general this is not helpful, but some applications have a carefully designed threading architecture and want to make their own decisions about how to assign work to CPUs. In that circumstance, some moderate optimizations can be made (e.g. having a separate run queue per CPU, keeping the list length shorter). When selected, the CPU mask becomes an immutable thread attribute. It can only be modified before a thread is started. Most applications don't want this. config MAIN_STACK_SIZE int "Size of stack for initialization and main thread" default 2048 if COVERAGE_GCOV default 1024 if TEST_ARM_CORTEX_M default 512 if ZTEST && !(RISCV || X86) default 1024 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(). config IDLE_STACK_SIZE int "Size of stack for idle thread" 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) || (X86 && MMU) 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 LIBC_ERRNO bool help Use external libc errno, not the internal one. This eliminates any locally allocated errno storage and usage. config ERRNO bool "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 && !LIBC_ERRNO 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 bool "Simple linked-list wait_q" help When selected, the wait_q will be implemented with a doubly-linked list. Choose this if you expect to have only a few threads blocked on any single IPC primitive. endchoice # WAITQ_ALGORITHM menu "Kernel Debugging and Metrics" config INIT_STACKS bool "Initialize stack areas" 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 threads, as well as to the interrupt stack. config BOOT_BANNER bool "Boot banner" default y depends on CONSOLE_HAS_DRIVER select PRINTK select EARLY_CONSOLE help This option outputs a banner to the console device during boot up. config BOOT_DELAY int "Boot delay in milliseconds" default 0 help This option delays bootup for the specified amount of milliseconds. This is used to allow serial ports to get ready before starting to print information on them during boot, as some systems might boot to fast for a receiving endpoint to detect the new USB serial bus, enumerate it and get ready to receive before it actually gets data. A similar effect can be achieved by waiting for DCD on the serial port--however, not all serial ports have DCD. config THREAD_MONITOR bool "Thread monitoring" help This option instructs the kernel to maintain a list of all threads (excluding those that have not yet started or have already terminated). config THREAD_NAME bool "Thread name" help This option allows to set a name for a thread. config THREAD_MAX_NAME_LEN int "Max length of a thread name" default 32 default 64 if ZTEST range 8 128 depends on THREAD_NAME help Thread names get stored in the k_thread struct. Indicate the max name length, including the terminating NULL byte. Reduce this value to conserve memory. config INSTRUMENT_THREAD_SWITCHING bool menuconfig THREAD_RUNTIME_STATS bool "Thread runtime statistics" help Gather thread runtime statistics. For example: - Thread total execution cycles - System total execution cycles if THREAD_RUNTIME_STATS config THREAD_RUNTIME_STATS_USE_TIMING_FUNCTIONS bool "Use timing functions to gather statistics" select TIMING_FUNCTIONS_NEED_AT_BOOT help Use timing functions to gather thread runtime statistics. Note that timing functions may use a different timer than the default timer for OS timekeeping. config SCHED_THREAD_USAGE bool "Collect thread runtime usage" default y select INSTRUMENT_THREAD_SWITCHING if !USE_SWITCH help Collect thread runtime info at context switch time config SCHED_THREAD_USAGE_ANALYSIS bool "Analyze the collected thread runtime usage statistics" default n depends on SCHED_THREAD_USAGE select INSTRUMENT_THREAD_SWITCHING if !USE_SWITCH help Collect additional timing information related to thread scheduling for analysis purposes. This includes the total time that a thread has been scheduled, the longest time for which it was scheduled and others. config SCHED_THREAD_USAGE_ALL bool "Collect total system runtime usage" default y if SCHED_THREAD_USAGE depends on SCHED_THREAD_USAGE help Maintain a sum of all non-idle thread cycle usage. config SCHED_THREAD_USAGE_AUTO_ENABLE bool "Automatically enable runtime usage statistics" default y depends on SCHED_THREAD_USAGE help When set, this option automatically enables the gathering of both the thread and CPU usage statistics. endif # THREAD_RUNTIME_STATS endmenu menu "Work Queue Options" config SYSTEM_WORKQUEUE_STACK_SIZE int "System workqueue stack size" default 4096 if COVERAGE default 1024 config SYSTEM_WORKQUEUE_PRIORITY int "System workqueue priority" default -2 if COOP_ENABLED && !PREEMPT_ENABLED default 0 if !COOP_ENABLED default -1 help By default, system work queue priority is the lowest cooperative priority. This means that any work handler, once started, won't be preempted by any other thread until finished. config SYSTEM_WORKQUEUE_NO_YIELD bool "Select whether system work queue yields" help By default, the system work queue yields between each work item, to prevent other threads from being starved. Selecting this removes this yield, which may be useful if the work queue thread is cooperative and a sequence of work items is expected to complete without yielding. endmenu menu "Atomic Operations" config ATOMIC_OPERATIONS_BUILTIN bool help Use the compiler builtin functions for atomic operations. This is the preferred method. However, support for all arches in GCC is incomplete. config ATOMIC_OPERATIONS_ARCH bool help Use when there isn't support for compiler built-ins, but you have written optimized assembly code under arch/ which implements these. config ATOMIC_OPERATIONS_C bool help Use atomic operations routines that are implemented entirely in C by locking interrupts. Selected by architectures which either do not have support for atomic operations in their instruction set, or haven't been implemented yet during bring-up, and also the compiler does not have support for the atomic __sync_* builtins. endmenu menu "Timer API Options" config TIMESLICING bool "Thread time slicing" default y depends on SYS_CLOCK_EXISTS && (NUM_PREEMPT_PRIORITIES != 0) help This option enables time slicing between preemptible threads of equal priority. config TIMESLICE_SIZE int "Time slice size (in ms)" default 0 range 0 2147483647 depends on TIMESLICING help This option specifies the maximum amount of time a thread can execute before other threads of equal priority are given an opportunity to run. A time slice size of zero means "no limit" (i.e. an infinitely large time slice). config TIMESLICE_PRIORITY int "Time slicing thread priority ceiling" default 0 range 0 NUM_PREEMPT_PRIORITIES depends on TIMESLICING help This option specifies the thread priority level at which time slicing takes effect; threads having a higher priority than this ceiling are not subject to time slicing. config TIMESLICE_PER_THREAD bool "Support per-thread timeslice values" depends on TIMESLICING help When set, this enables an API for setting timeslice values on a per-thread basis, with an application callback invoked when a thread reaches the end of its timeslice. config POLL bool "Async I/O Framework" help Asynchronous notification framework. Enable the k_poll() and k_poll_signal_raise() APIs. The former can wait on multiple events concurrently, which can be either directly triggered or triggered by the availability of some kernel objects (semaphores and FIFOs). endmenu menu "Other Kernel Object Options" config MEM_SLAB_TRACE_MAX_UTILIZATION bool "Getting maximum slab utilization" help This adds variable to the k_mem_slab structure to hold maximum utilization of the slab. config NUM_MBOX_ASYNC_MSGS int "Maximum number of in-flight asynchronous mailbox messages" default 10 help This option specifies the total number of asynchronous mailbox messages that can exist simultaneously, across all mailboxes in the system. Setting this option to 0 disables support for asynchronous mailbox messages. config EVENTS bool "Event objects" help This option enables event objects. Threads may wait on event objects for specific events, but both threads and ISRs may deliver events to event objects. Note that setting this option slightly increases the size of the thread structure. config KERNEL_MEM_POOL bool "Use Kernel Memory Pool" default y help Enable the use of kernel memory pool. Say y if unsure. if KERNEL_MEM_POOL config HEAP_MEM_POOL_SIZE int "Heap memory pool size (in bytes)" default 0 if !POSIX_MQUEUE default 1024 if POSIX_MQUEUE help This option specifies the size of the heap memory pool used when dynamically allocating memory using k_malloc(). The maximum size of the memory pool is only limited to available memory. A size of zero means that no heap memory pool is defined. endif # KERNEL_MEM_POOL endmenu config ARCH_HAS_CUSTOM_SWAP_TO_MAIN bool help It's possible that an architecture port cannot use _Swap() to swap to the _main() thread, but instead must do something custom. It must enable this option in that case. config SWAP_NONATOMIC bool help On some architectures, the _Swap() primitive cannot be made atomic with respect to the irq_lock being released. That is, interrupts may be received between the entry to _Swap and the completion of the context switch. There are a handful of workaround cases in the kernel that need to be enabled when this is true. Currently, this only happens on ARM when the PendSV exception priority sits below that of Zephyr-handled interrupts. config ARCH_HAS_CUSTOM_BUSY_WAIT bool help It's possible that an architecture port cannot or does not want to use the provided k_busy_wait(), but instead must do something custom. It must enable this option in that case. config SYS_CLOCK_TICKS_PER_SEC int "System tick frequency (in ticks/second)" default 100 if QEMU_TARGET || SOC_POSIX default 10000 if TICKLESS_KERNEL 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 bookkeeping. 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 int "System clock's h/w timer frequency" help This option specifies the frequency of the hardware timer used for the system clock (in Hz). This option is set by the SOC's or board's Kconfig file and the user should generally avoid modifying it via the menu configuration. config SYS_CLOCK_EXISTS bool "System clock exists and is enabled" default y help This option specifies that the kernel lacks timer support. Some device configurations can eliminate significant code if this is disabled. Obviously timeout-related APIs will not work. config TIMEOUT_64BIT bool "Store kernel timeouts in 64 bit precision" default y help When this option is true, the k_ticks_t values passed to kernel APIs will be a 64 bit quantity, allowing the use of larger values (and higher precision tick rates) without fear of overflowing the 32 bit word. This feature also gates the availability of absolute timeout values (which require the extra precision). config SYS_CLOCK_MAX_TIMEOUT_DAYS int "Max timeout (in days) used in conversions" default 365 help Value is used in the time conversion static inline function to determine at compile time which algorithm to use. One algorithm is faster, takes less code but may overflow if multiplication of source and target frequency exceeds 64 bits. Second algorithm prevents that. Faster algorithm is selected for conversion if maximum timeout represented in source frequency domain multiplied by target frequency fits in 64 bits. config XIP bool "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 boards 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. menu "Initialization Priorities" config KERNEL_INIT_PRIORITY_OBJECTS int "Kernel objects initialization priority" default 30 help Kernel objects use this priority for initialization. This priority needs to be higher than minimal default initialization priority. config KERNEL_INIT_PRIORITY_DEFAULT int "Default init priority" default 40 help Default minimal init priority for each init level. config KERNEL_INIT_PRIORITY_DEVICE int "Default init priority for device drivers" default 50 help Device driver, that depends on common components, such as interrupt controller, but does not depend on other devices, uses this init priority. config APPLICATION_INIT_PRIORITY int "Default init priority for application level drivers" default 90 help This priority level is for end-user drivers such as sensors and display which have no inward dependencies. endmenu menu "Security Options" config STACK_CANARIES bool "Compiler stack canaries" depends on ENTROPY_GENERATOR || TEST_RANDOM_GENERATOR help 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 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 an error will occur at build time. config EXECUTE_XOR_WRITE bool "W^X for memory partitions" depends on USERSPACE depends on ARCH_HAS_EXECUTABLE_PAGE_BIT default y help When enabled, will enforce that a writable page isn't executable and vice versa. This might not be acceptable in all scenarios, so this option is given for those unafraid of shooting themselves in the foot. If unsure, say Y. config STACK_POINTER_RANDOM int "Initial stack pointer randomization bounds" depends on !STACK_GROWS_UP depends on MULTITHREADING depends on TEST_RANDOM_GENERATOR || ENTROPY_HAS_DRIVER default 0 help 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 is currently only implemented for systems whose stack pointers grow towards lower memory addresses. config BOUNDS_CHECK_BYPASS_MITIGATION bool "Bounds check bypass mitigations for speculative execution" depends on USERSPACE help Untrusted parameters from user mode may be used in system calls to index arrays during speculative execution, also known as the Spectre V1 vulnerability. When enabled, various macros defined in misc/speculation.h will insert fence instructions or other appropriate mitigations after bounds checking any array index parameters passed in from untrusted sources (user mode threads). When disabled, these macros do nothing. endmenu config MAX_DOMAIN_PARTITIONS int "Maximum number of partitions per memory domain" default 16 range 0 255 depends on USERSPACE help Configure the maximum number of partitions per memory domain. config ARCH_MEM_DOMAIN_DATA bool depends on USERSPACE help 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 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. menu "SMP Options" config SMP bool "Symmetric multiprocessing support" depends on USE_SWITCH help When true, kernel will be built with SMP support, allowing more than one CPU to schedule Zephyr tasks at a time. config USE_SWITCH bool "Use new-style _arch_switch instead of arch_swap" depends on USE_SWITCH_SUPPORTED help The _arch_switch() API is a lower level context switching primitive than the original arch_swap mechanism. It is required for an SMP-aware scheduler, or if the architecture does not provide arch_swap. In uniprocess situations where the architecture provides both, _arch_switch incurs more somewhat overhead and may be slower. config USE_SWITCH_SUPPORTED bool help Indicates whether _arch_switch() API is supported by the currently enabled platform. This option should be selected by platforms that implement it. config SMP_BOOT_DELAY bool "Delay booting secondary cores" depends on SMP help By default Zephyr will boot all available CPUs during start up. Select this option to skip this and allow architecture code boot secondary CPUs at a later time. config MP_NUM_CPUS int "Number of CPUs/cores" default 1 range 1 4 help Number of multiprocessing-capable cores available to the multicpu API and SMP features. config SCHED_IPI_SUPPORTED bool help True if the architecture supports a call to arch_sched_ipi() to broadcast an interrupt that will call z_sched_ipi() on other CPUs in the system. Required for k_thread_abort() to operate with reasonable latency (otherwise we might have to wait for the other thread to take an interrupt, which can be arbitrarily far in the future). config TRACE_SCHED_IPI bool "Test IPI" help When true, it will add a hook into z_sched_ipi(), in order to check if schedule IPI has called or not, for testing purpose. depends on SCHED_IPI_SUPPORTED depends on MP_NUM_CPUS>1 config KERNEL_COHERENCE bool "Place all shared data into coherent memory" depends on ARCH_HAS_COHERENCE default y if SMP && MP_NUM_CPUS > 1 select THREAD_STACK_INFO help When available and selected, the kernel will build in a mode where all shared data is placed in multiprocessor-coherent (generally "uncached") memory. Thread stacks will remain cached, as will application memory declared with __incoherent. This is intended for Zephyr SMP kernels running on cache-incoherent architectures only. Note that when this is selected, there is an implicit API change that assumes cache coherence to any memory passed to the kernel. Code that creates kernel data structures in uncached regions may fail strangely. Some assertions exist to catch these mistakes, but not all circumstances can be tested. endmenu config TICKLESS_KERNEL bool "Tickless kernel" default y if TICKLESS_CAPABLE depends on TICKLESS_CAPABLE help This option enables a fully event driven kernel. Periodic system clock interrupt generation would be stopped at all times. config TOOLCHAIN_SUPPORTS_THREAD_LOCAL_STORAGE bool default y if "$(ZEPHYR_TOOLCHAIN_VARIANT)" = "zephyr" || "$(ZEPHYR_TOOLCHAIN_SUPPORTS_THREAD_LOCAL_STORAGE)" = "y" help Hidden option to signal that toolchain supports generating code with thread local storage. config THREAD_LOCAL_STORAGE bool "Thread Local Storage (TLS)" depends on ARCH_HAS_THREAD_LOCAL_STORAGE && TOOLCHAIN_SUPPORTS_THREAD_LOCAL_STORAGE select NEED_LIBC_MEM_PARTITION if (CPU_CORTEX_M && USERSPACE) help This option enables thread local storage (TLS) support in kernel. endmenu menu "Device Options" config HAS_DYNAMIC_DEVICE_HANDLES bool help Hidden option that makes possible to manipulate device handles at runtime. endmenu rsource "Kconfig.vm"
