It is normally set by the platform's defconfig 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 ENHANCED_SECURITY bool prompt "Enhanced security features" default y if ARCH="x86" default n help This option enables all security features supported by the kernel, including those that can have a significant impact on system footprint or performance; it also prevents the use of certain kernel features that have known security risks. Users can customize these settings using the CUSTOM_SECURITY option in the "Security Options" menu. config EVENT_LOGGER bool prompt "Enable event logger" default n 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_PROFILER bool prompt "Enable profiler 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 profile messages. config PROFILER_BUFFER_SIZE int prompt "Profiler buffer size" default 128 depends on KERNEL_PROFILER help Buffer size in 32-bit words. menu "Profiler points" depends on KERNEL_PROFILER config PROFILER_CONTEXT_SWITCH bool prompt "Context switch profiler point" default n depends on KERNEL_PROFILER help Enable the context switch event messages. config PROFILER_INTERRUPT bool prompt "Interrupt profiler point" default n depends on KERNEL_PROFILER help Enable interrupt event messages. These messages provide the following information: The time when interrupts occur. config PROFILER_SLEEP bool prompt "Sleep profiler point" default n depends on KERNEL_PROFILER && ADVANCED_POWER_MANAGEMENT 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" depends on ENHANCED_SECURITY config CUSTOM_SECURITY bool prompt "Customized security" default n help This option allow users to disable enhanced security features they do not wish to use or enable the use of features with security exposures. config STACK_CANARIES bool prompt "Compiler stack canaries" if CUSTOM_SECURITY default n help This option enables compiler stack canaries support on most functions in the kernel. (Kernel functions that reside in LKMs do NOT have stack canary support, due to limitations of the LKM technology.) 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
