	help
	  Disabling this option is DEPRECATED.

	  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.

	  Each priority requires an extra 8 bytes of RAM. Each set of 32 extra

	  iteration to loops that search for the next thread to run.

	  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

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 "Enable 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 "Enable 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().

	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

	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)"

	help
	  This option specifies the size of the stack used by interrupt
	  service routines (ISRs), and during kernel initialization.

config ERRNO
	bool "Enable 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

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.

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.

	  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 [EXPERIMENTAL]"
	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

config SWAP_NONATOMIC

	  On some architectures, the _Swap() primitive cannot be made

	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 bookeeping. 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

	  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

	  For these reasons, on uniprocessor systems unless memory access

	  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
	bool "Enable symmetric multithreading 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 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 "Enable 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.

config TICKLESS_IDLE
	# NB: This option is deprecated, see TICKLESS_KERNEL and
	# https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr/pull/12234
	bool "Tickless idle"
	default y if PM || TICKLESS_CAPABLE
	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 "Tickless idle threshold"
	default 3
	depends on TICKLESS_IDLE
	help
	  This option enables 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.

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"
	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.
