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.

config NUM_COOP_PRIORITIES
	int "Number of coop priorities" if MULTITHREADING
	default 1 if !MULTITHREADING
	default 16
	range 0 128
	help
	  Number of cooperative priorities configured in the system. Gives access
	  to priorities:

		K_PRIO_COOP(0) to K_PRIO_COOP(CONFIG_NUM_COOP_PRIORITIES - 1)

	  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
	int "Number of preemptible priorities" if MULTITHREADING
	default 0 if !MULTITHREADING
	default 15
	range 0 128
	help
	  Number of preemptible priorities available in the system. Gives access
	  to priorities 0 to CONFIG_NUM_PREEMPT_PRIORITIES - 1.

	  This can be set to 0 to disable preemptible scheduling.

	  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 MAIN_THREAD_PRIORITY
	int "Priority of initialization/main thread"
	default -2 if !PREEMPT_ENABLED
	default 0
	help
	  Priority at which the initialization thread runs, including the start
	  of the main() function. main() can then change its priority if desired.

config COOP_ENABLED
	def_bool (NUM_COOP_PRIORITIES != 0)

config PREEMPT_ENABLED
	def_bool (NUM_PREEMPT_PRIORITIES != 0)

config PRIORITY_CEILING
	int "Priority inheritance ceiling"
	default -127
	help
	  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 "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().

config MAIN_STACK_SIZE
	int "Size of stack for initialization and main thread"
	default 2048 if COVERAGE_GCOV
	default 1024 if TEST_ARM_CORTEX_M
	default 512 if ZTEST && !(RISCV || X86)
	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
	  initialization, which would be wasted RAM otherwise.

	  After initialization is complete, the thread runs main().

config IDLE_STACK_SIZE
	int "Size of stack for idle thread"
	default 2048 if COVERAGE_GCOV
	default 1024 if XTENSA
	default 512 if RISCV
	default 384 if DYNAMIC_OBJECTS
	default 320 if ARC || (ARM && CPU_HAS_FPU) || (X86 && MMU)
	default 256
	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)"
	default 2048
	help
	  This option specifies the size of the stack used by interrupt
	  service routines (ISRs), and during kernel initialization.

config THREAD_STACK_INFO
	bool "Thread stack info"
	help
	  This option allows each thread to store the thread stack info into
	  the k_thread data structure.

config THREAD_CUSTOM_DATA
	bool "Thread custom data"
	help
	  This option allows each thread to store 32 bits of custom data,
	  which can be accessed using the k_thread_custom_data_xxx() APIs.

config THREAD_USERSPACE_LOCAL_DATA
	bool
	depends on USERSPACE
	default y if ERRNO && !ERRNO_IN_TLS

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
	  symbol. The C library must access the per-thread errno via the
	  z_errno() symbol.

config ERRNO_IN_TLS
	bool "Store errno in thread local storage (TLS)"
	depends on ERRNO && THREAD_LOCAL_STORAGE
	default y
	help
	  Use thread local storage to store errno instead of storing it in
	  the kernel thread struct. This avoids a syscall if userspace is enabled.

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.

endchoice # WAITQ_ALGORITHM

config DEVICE_HANDLE_PADDING
	int "Number of additional device handles to use for padding"
	default 0
	range 0 10
	help
	  This is a "fudge factor" which works around build system
	  limitations. It is safe to ignore unless you get a specific
	  build system error about it.

	  The option's value is the number of superfluous device handle
	  values which are introduced into the array pointed to by each
	  device's 'handles' member during the first linker pass.

	  Each handle uses 2 bytes, so a value of 3 would use an extra
	  6 bytes of ROM for every device.

menu "Kernel Debugging and Metrics"

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.

config BOOT_BANNER
	bool "Boot banner"
	default y
	depends on CONSOLE_HAS_DRIVER
	select PRINTK
	select EARLY_CONSOLE
	help
	  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"
	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
	bool "Thread name"
	help
	  This option allows to set a name for a thread.

config THREAD_MAX_NAME_LEN
	int "Max length of a thread name"
	default 32
	default 64 if ZTEST
	range 8 128
	depends on THREAD_NAME
	help
	  Thread names get stored in the k_thread struct. Indicate the max
	  name length, including the terminating NULL byte. Reduce this value
	  to conserve memory.

config INSTRUMENT_THREAD_SWITCHING
	bool

menuconfig THREAD_RUNTIME_STATS
	bool "Thread runtime statistics"
	select INSTRUMENT_THREAD_SWITCHING
	help
	  Gather thread runtime statistics.

	default -2 if COOP_ENABLED && !PREEMPT_ENABLED
	default  0 if !COOP_ENABLED
	default -1
	help
	  By default, system work queue priority is the lowest cooperative
	  priority. This means that any work handler, once started, won't
	  be preempted by any other thread until finished.

config SYSTEM_WORKQUEUE_NO_YIELD
	bool "Select whether system work queue yields"
	help
	  By default, the system work queue yields between each work item, to
	  prevent other threads from being starved.  Selecting this removes
	  this yield, which may be useful if the work queue thread is
	  cooperative and a sequence of work items is expected to complete
	  without yielding.

config ATOMIC_OPERATIONS_ARCH
	bool
	help
	  Use when there isn't support for compiler built-ins, but you have
	  written optimized assembly code under arch/ which implements these.

config ATOMIC_OPERATIONS_C

	  Use atomic operations routines that are implemented entirely
	  in C by locking interrupts. Selected by architectures which either

	help
	  This option specifies the maximum amount of time a thread can execute

	  enable this option in that case.

config SWAP_NONATOMIC
	bool
	help
	  On some architectures, the _Swap() primitive cannot be made
	  atomic with respect to the irq_lock being released.  That
	  is, interrupts may be received between the entry to _Swap
	  and the completion of the context switch.  There are a

	int "System tick frequency (in ticks/second)"
	default 100 if QEMU_TARGET || SOC_POSIX
	default 10000 if TICKLESS_KERNEL
	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 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.

config SYS_CLOCK_HW_CYCLES_PER_SEC
	int "System clock's h/w timer frequency"
	help
	  This option specifies the frequency of the hardware timer used for the
	  system clock (in Hz). This option is set by the SOC's or board's Kconfig file
	  and the user should generally avoid modifying it via the menu configuration.

config SYS_CLOCK_EXISTS
	bool "System clock exists and is enabled"
	default y
	help
	  This option specifies that the kernel lacks timer support.
	  Some device configurations can eliminate significant code if
	  this is disabled.  Obviously timeout-related APIs will not
	  work.

config TIMEOUT_64BIT
	bool "Store kernel timeouts in 64 bit precision"
	default y
	help
	  When this option is true, the k_ticks_t values passed to
	  kernel APIs will be a 64 bit quantity, allowing the use of

config XIP
	bool "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 boards

	  This feature can waste up to the specified size in bytes the stack

	  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.

config USE_SWITCH
	bool "Use new-style _arch_switch instead of arch_swap"
	depends on USE_SWITCH_SUPPORTED
	help
	  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.

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 SMP_BOOT_DELAY
	bool "Delay booting secondary cores"
	depends on SMP
	help
	  By default Zephyr will boot all available CPUs during start up.
	  Select this option to skip this and allow architecture code boot
	  secondary CPUs at a later 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_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.
