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.

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

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.

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.

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.
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.

water mark can be easily determined. This applies to the stack areas
for threads, as well as to the interrupt stack.
config SKIP_BSS_CLEAR

initialization. Such boot-time optimization could be used for
platforms where .bss section is zeroed-out externally.

config BOOT_DELAY
int "Boot delay in milliseconds"
depends on MULTITHREADING

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
