| 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) |

| 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 |

| 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. |

| When selected, the scheduler ready queue will be implemented |

| (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. |

| 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 |
| arch_mem_domain_destroy |
| |
| 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. |

| 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. |

| z_sched_ipi() on other CPUs in the system. Required for |
| k_thread_abort() to operate with reasonable latency |

| take an interrupt, which can be arbitrarily far in the |
| future). |

| 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. |
