This defines a set of priorities at the (numerically) lowest

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

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().

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.

extra ~2kb of code. But the resulting behavior will scale

cleanly and quickly into the many thousands of threads. Use

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.

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.
