# # For a description of the syntax of this configuration file, # see the file kconfig-language.txt in the NuttX tools repository. # menuconfig DISABLE_OS_API bool "Disable NuttX interfaces" default y ---help--- The following can be used to disable categories of APIs supported by the OS. If the compiler supports weak functions, then it should not be necessary to disable functions unless you want to restrict usage of those APIs. if DISABLE_OS_API config DISABLE_POSIX_TIMERS bool "Disable POSIX timers" default DEFAULT_SMALL ---help--- Disable support for the the entire POSIX timer family including timer_create(), timer_gettime(), timer_settime(), etc. NOTE: This option will also disable getitimer() and setitimer() which are not, strictly speaking, POSIX timers. config DISABLE_PTHREAD bool "Disable pthread support" default DEFAULT_SMALL config DISABLE_MQUEUE bool "Disable POSIX message queue support" default DEFAULT_SMALL config DISABLE_MQUEUE_SYSV bool "Disable System V message queue support" default DISABLE_MQUEUE ---help--- Disable System V message queue support config DISABLE_ENVIRON bool "Disable environment variable support" default DEFAULT_SMALL endif # DISABLE_OS_API config DISABLE_IDLE_LOOP bool default n ---help--- This option allows nx_start to return instead of entering the idle loop. menu "Clocks and Timers" config ARCH_HAVE_TICKLESS bool config SCHED_TICKLESS bool "Support tick-less OS" default n depends on ARCH_HAVE_TICKLESS ---help--- By default, system time is driven by a periodic timer interrupt. An alternative configurations is a tick-less configuration in which there is no periodic timer interrupt. Instead an interval timer is used to schedule the next OS time event. This option selects that tick-less OS option. If the tick-less OS is selected, then there are additional platform specific interfaces that must be provided as defined in include/nuttx/arch.h if SCHED_TICKLESS config SCHED_TICKLESS_TICK_ARGUMENT bool "Scheduler use tick argument" default n ---help--- Enables use of tick argument in scheduler. If enabled, then the board-specific logic must provide the following functions: int up_timer_gettick(FAR clock_t *ticks); If SCHED_TICKLESS_ALARM is enabled, then these additional interfaces are expected: int up_alarm_tick_cancel(FAR clock_t *ticks); int up_alarm_tick_start(clock_t ticks); Otherwise, these additional interfaces are expected: int up_timer_tick_cancel(FAR clock_t *ticks); int up_timer_tick_start(FAR clock_t ticks); config SCHED_TICKLESS_ALARM bool "Tickless alarm" default n ---help--- The tickless option can be supported either via a simple interval timer (plus elapsed time) or via an alarm. The interval timer allows programming events to occur after an interval. With the alarm, you can set a time in the future and get an event when that alarm goes off. This option selects the use of an alarm. The advantage of an alarm is that it avoids some small timing errors; the advantage of the use of the interval timer is that the hardware requirement may be less. config SCHED_TICKLESS_LIMIT_MAX_SLEEP bool "Max sleep period (in microseconds)" default n ---help--- Enables use of the g_oneshot_maxticks variable. This variable is initialized by platform-specific logic at runtime to the maximum delay that the timer can wait (in configured clock ticks). The RTOS tickless logic will then limit all requested delays to this value. endif config USEC_PER_TICK int "System timer tick period (microseconds)" default 10000 if !SCHED_TICKLESS default 100 if SCHED_TICKLESS ---help--- In the "normal" configuration where system time is provided by a periodic timer interrupt, the default system timer is expected to run at 100Hz or USEC_PER_TICK=10000. This setting must be defined to inform of NuttX the interval that the processor hardware is providing system timer interrupts to the OS. If SCHED_TICKLESS is selected, then there are no system timer interrupts. In this case, USEC_PER_TICK does not control any timer rates. Rather, it only determines the resolution of time reported by clock_systime_ticks() and the resolution of times that can be set for certain delays including watchdog timers and delayed work. In this case there is a trade-off: It is better to have the USEC_PER_TICK as low as possible for higher timing resolution. However, the time is currently held in 'unsigned int' on some systems, this may be 16-bits but on most contemporary systems it will be 32-bits. In either case, smaller values of USEC_PER_TICK will reduce the range of values that delays that can be represented. So the trade-off is between range and resolution (you could also modify the code to use a 64-bit value if you really want both). The default, 100 microseconds, will provide for a range of delays up to 120 hours. This value should never be less than the underlying resolution of the timer. Error may ensue. if !SCHED_TICKLESS config SYSTEMTICK_EXTCLK bool "Use external clock" default n depends on ARCH_HAVE_EXTCLK ---help--- Use external clock for system tick. When enabled, the platform-specific logic must start its own timer interrupt to make periodic calls to the nxsched_process_timer() or the functions called within. The purpose is to move the scheduling off the processor clock to allow entering low power states that would disable that clock. config SYSTEMTICK_HOOK bool "System timer hook" default n ---help--- Enable a call to a user-provided, board-level function on each timer tick. This permits custom actions that may be performed on each timer tick. The form of the user-provided function is: void board_timerhook(void); (prototyped in include/nuttx/board.h). endif # !SCHED_TICKLESS config SYSTEM_TIME64 bool "64-bit system clock" default n ---help--- The system timer is incremented at the rate determined by USEC_PER_TICK, typically at 100Hz. The count at any given time is then the "uptime" in units of system timer ticks. By default, the system time is 32-bits wide. Those defaults provide a range of about 497 days which is probably a sufficient range for "uptime". However, if the system timer rate is significantly higher than 100Hz and/or if a very long "uptime" is required, then this option can be selected to support a 64-bit wide timer. config ARCH_HAVE_ADJTIME bool default n config CLOCK_ADJTIME bool "Support adjtime function" default n depends on ARCH_HAVE_ADJTIME || RTC_ADJTIME ---help--- Enables usage of adjtime() interface used to correct the system time clock. This requires specific architecture support. Adjustment can affect system timer period and/or high-resolution RTC. These are implemented by interfaces up_adjtime() and up_rtc_adjtime(). This is not a POSIX interface but derives from 4.3BSD, System V. It is also supported for Linux compatibility. if CLOCK_ADJTIME config CLOCK_ADJTIME_SLEWLIMIT_PPM int "Adjtime slew limit" default 20000 range 1 1000000 ---help--- Set limit of adjtime() clock slewing as parts per million. In real time systems we do not want the time to adjust too quickly. For example CLOCK_ADJTIME_SLEWLIMIT=1000 will slow or speed the timer tick period by at most 0.1 percent of the nominal value. config CLOCK_ADJTIME_PERIOD_MS int "Adjtime period" default 970 range 1 3600000 ---help--- Define system clock adjustment period in milliseconds. The adjustment commanded by adjtime() call is applied over this time period. endif config ARCH_HAVE_TIMEKEEPING bool default n config CLOCK_TIMEKEEPING bool "Support timekeeping algorithms" default n depends on ARCH_HAVE_TIMEKEEPING ---help--- CLOCK_TIMEKEEPING enables experimental time management algorithms. config JULIAN_TIME bool "Enables Julian time conversions" default n ---help--- Enables Julian time conversions config START_YEAR int "Start year" default 2018 range 1970 2106 ---help--- NuttX uses an unsigned 32-bit integer for time_t which provides a range from 1970 to 2106. config START_MONTH int "Start month" default 1 range 1 12 config START_DAY int "Start day" default 1 range 1 31 config PREALLOC_TIMERS int "Number of pre-allocated POSIX timers" default 4 if DEFAULT_SMALL default 8 if !DEFAULT_SMALL depends on !DISABLE_POSIX_TIMERS ---help--- The number of pre-allocated POSIX timer structures. The system manages a pool of preallocated timer structures to minimize dynamic allocations. Set to zero for all dynamic allocations. config PERF_OVERFLOW_CORRECTION bool "Compensate perf count overflow" depends on SYSTEM_TIME64 && (ALARM_ARCH || TIMER_ARCH || ARCH_PERF_EVENTS) default n ---help--- If this option is enabled, then the perf event will be enabled by default. When enabled, it will always return an increasing count value to avoid overflow on 32-bit platforms. endmenu # Clocks and Timers menu "Tasks and Scheduling" config SPINLOCK bool "Support Spinlocks" default n ---help--- Enables support for spinlocks. Spinlocks are used primarily for synchronization in SMP configurations but are available for general synchronization between CPUs. Use in a single CPU configuration would most likely be fatal. Note, however, that this does not depend on CONFIG_ARCH_HAVE_MULTICPU. This permits the use of spinlocks in other novel architectures. if SPINLOCK config TICKET_SPINLOCK bool "Use ticket Spinlocks" default n ---help--- Use ticket spinlock algorithm. config RW_SPINLOCK bool "Support read-write Spinlocks" default y ---help--- Spinlocks are spilit into read and write lock. Reader can take read lock simultaneously and only one writer can take write lock. endif # SPINLOCK config IRQCHAIN bool "Enable multi handler sharing a IRQ" default n ---help--- Enable support for IRQCHAIN. if IRQCHAIN config PREALLOC_IRQCHAIN int "Number of pre-allocated irq chains" default 4 if DEFAULT_SMALL default 8 if !DEFAULT_SMALL ---help--- The number of pre-allocated irq chain structures. The system manages a pool of preallocated irq chain structures to minimize dynamic allocations. You will, however, get better performance and memory usage if this value is tuned to minimize such allocations. endif # IRQCHAIN config IRQCOUNT bool default n config SMP bool "Symmetric Multi-Processing (SMP)" default n depends on ARCH_HAVE_MULTICPU depends on ARCH_HAVE_TESTSET depends on ARCH_INTERRUPTSTACK != 0 select SPINLOCK select SCHED_RESUMESCHEDULER select IRQCOUNT ---help--- Enables support for Symmetric Multi-Processing (SMP) on a multi-CPU platform. N.B. SMP mode requires the use of ARCH_INTERRUPTSTACK: CPU0 thread0 -> IRQ enter -> add thread0 to block_list -> IRQ leave(crash) || /\ / \ CPU1 thread1 -> block_task -> take thread0 from block_list -> run thread0 CPU0 IRQ handler use thread0's stack, but thread0 may switch to CPU1, that will caused IRQ handler stack corruption. if SMP config SMP_NCPUS int "Number of CPUs" default 4 range 1 32 ---help--- This value identifies the number of CPUs supported by the processor that will be used for SMP. If CONFIG_DEBUG_FEATURES is enabled, then the value one is permitted for CONFIG_SMP_NCPUS. This is not normally a valid setting for an SMP configuration. However, running the SMP logic in a single CPU configuration is useful during certain testing. config SMP_DEFAULT_CPUSET hex "Default CPU bit set" default 0xffffffff ---help--- Set the Default CPU bits. The way to use the unset CPU is to call the sched_setaffinity function to bind a task to the CPU. bit0 means CPU0. config SMP_CALL bool "Support SMP function call" default n ---help--- Enable to support SMP function call. endif # SMP choice prompt "Initialization Task" default INIT_ENTRY if !BUILD_KERNEL default INIT_FILE if !BINFMT_DISABLE default INIT_NONE if BINFMT_DISABLE config INIT_NONE bool "None" config INIT_ENTRY bool "Via application entry" depends on !BUILD_KERNEL config INIT_FILE bool "Via executable file" depends on !BINFMT_DISABLE endchoice # Initialization task config INIT_ARGS string "Application argument list" depends on !INIT_NONE ---help--- The argument list for user applications. e.g.: "\"arg1\",\"arg2\",\"arg3\"" config INIT_STACKSIZE int "Main thread stack size" default DEFAULT_TASK_STACKSIZE ---help--- The size of the stack to allocate for the user initialization thread that is started as soon as the OS completes its initialization. config INIT_PRIORITY int "init thread priority" default 100 ---help--- The priority of the user initialization thread. if INIT_ENTRY config INIT_ENTRYPOINT string "Application entry point" default "main" ---help--- The name of the entry point for user applications. For the example applications this is of the form 'app_main' where 'app' is the application name. If not defined, INIT_ENTRYPOINT defaults to "main". config INIT_ENTRYNAME string "Application entry name" default INIT_ENTRYPOINT endif # INIT_ENTRY if INIT_FILE config INIT_FILEPATH string "Application initialization path" default "/bin/init" ---help--- The name of the entry point for user applications. For the example applications this is of the form 'app_main' where 'app' is the application name. If not defined, INIT_ENTRYPOINT defaults to "main". config INIT_SYMTAB string "Symbol table" default "NULL" if !EXECFUNCS_HAVE_SYMTAB default EXECFUNCS_SYMTAB_ARRAY if EXECFUNCS_HAVE_SYMTAB depends on BUILD_FLAT ---help--- The name of other global array that holds the exported symbol table. The special string "NULL" may be provided if there is no symbol table. Quotation marks will be stripped when config.h is generated. NOTE: This setting cannot be used in protected or kernel builds. Any kernel mode symbols tables would not be usable for resolving symbols in user mode executables. config INIT_NEXPORTS string "Symbol table size" default "0" if !EXECFUNCS_HAVE_SYMTAB default EXECFUNCS_NSYMBOLS_VAR if EXECFUNCS_HAVE_SYMTAB depends on BUILD_FLAT ---help--- The size of the symbol table. NOTE that is is logically a numeric value but is represent by a string. That allows you to put sizeof(something) or a macro or a global variable name for the symbol table size. Quotation marks will be stripped when config.h is generated. NOTE: This setting cannot be used in protected or kernel builds. Any kernel mode symbols tables would not be usable for resolving symbols in user mode executables. menuconfig INIT_MOUNT bool "Auto-mount init file system" default n depends on !DISABLE_MOUNTPOINT ---help--- In order to use the the initial startup program when CONFIG_INIT_FILEPATH is provided, it is necessary to mount the initial file system that provides init program. Normally this mount is done in the board-specific initialization logic. However, if the mount is very simple, it can be performed by the OS bring-up logic itself by selecting this option. if INIT_MOUNT config INIT_MOUNT_SOURCE string "The block device to mount" default "/dev/ram0" config INIT_MOUNT_TARGET string "Path to the mounted file system" default "/bin" config INIT_MOUNT_FSTYPE string "The file system type to mount" default "romfs" config INIT_MOUNT_FLAGS hex "Flags passed to mount" default 0 config INIT_MOUNT_DATA string "Additional data passed to mount" default "" endif # INIT_MOUNT endif # INIT_FILE config RR_INTERVAL int "Round robin timeslice (MSEC)" default 0 ---help--- The round robin timeslice will be set this number of milliseconds; Round robin scheduling (SCHED_RR) is enabled by setting this interval to a positive, non-zero value. config SCHED_SPORADIC bool "Support sporadic scheduling" default n select SCHED_SUSPENDSCHEDULER select SCHED_RESUMESCHEDULER ---help--- Build in additional logic to support sporadic scheduling (SCHED_SPORADIC). if SCHED_SPORADIC config SCHED_SPORADIC_MAXREPL int "Maximum number of replenishments" default 3 range 1 255 ---help--- Controls the size of allocated replenishment structures and, hence, also limits the maximum number of replenishments. config SPORADIC_INSTRUMENTATION bool "Sporadic scheduler monitor hooks" default n ---help--- Enables instrumentation in the sporadic scheduler to monitor scheduler behavior. If enabled, then the board-specific logic must provide the following functions: void arch_sporadic_start(FAR struct tcb_s *tcb); void arch_sporadic_lowpriority(FAR struct tcb_s *tcb); void arch_sporadic_suspend(FAR struct tcb_s *tcb); void arch_sporadic_resume(FAR struct tcb_s *tcb); endif # SCHED_SPORADIC config TASK_NAME_SIZE int "Maximum task name size" default 31 ---help--- Specifies the maximum size of a task name to save in the TCB. Useful if scheduler instrumentation is selected. Set to zero to disable. Excludes the NUL terminator; the actual allocated size will be TASK_NAME_SIZE + 1. The default of 31 then results in a align-able 32-byte allocation. config SCHED_HAVE_PARENT bool "Support parent/child task relationships" default n ---help--- Remember the ID of the parent task when a new child task is created. This support enables some additional features (such as SIGCHLD) and modifies the behavior of other interfaces. For example, it makes waitpid() more standards complete by restricting the waited-for tasks to the children of the caller. Default: disabled. config SCHED_CHILD_STATUS bool "Retain child exit status" default n depends on SCHED_HAVE_PARENT ---help--- If this option is selected, then the exit status of the child task will be retained after the child task exits. This option should be selected if you require knowledge of a child process's exit status. Without this setting, wait(), waitpid() or waitid() may fail. For example, if you do: 1) Start child task 2) Wait for exit status (using wait(), waitpid(), or waitid()). This can fail because the child task may run to completion before the wait begins. There is a non-standard work-around in this case: The above sequence will work if you disable pre-emption using sched_lock() prior to starting the child task, then re-enable pre- emption with sched_unlock() after the wait completes. This works because the child task is not permitted to run until the wait is in place. The standard solution would be to enable SCHED_CHILD_STATUS. In this case the exit status of the child task is retained after the child exits and the wait will successful obtain the child task's exit status whether it is called before the child task exits or not. Warning: If you enable this feature, then your application must either (1) take responsibility for reaping the child status with wait(), waitpid(), or waitid(), or (2) suppress retention of child status. If you do not reap the child status, then you have a memory leak and your system will eventually fail. Retention of child status can be suppressed on the parent using logic like: struct sigaction sa; sa.sa_handler = SIG_IGN; sa.sa_flags = SA_NOCLDWAIT; int ret = sigaction(SIGCHLD, &sa, NULL); if SCHED_CHILD_STATUS config PREALLOC_CHILDSTATUS int "Number of pre-allocated child status" default 0 ---help--- To prevent runaway child status allocations and to improve allocation performance, child task exit status structures are pre- allocated when the system boots. This setting determines the number of child status structures that will be pre-allocated. However, the number of child status structures may need to be significantly larger because this number includes the maximum number of tasks that are running PLUS the number of tasks that have exit'ed without having their exit status reaped (via wait(), waitid(), or waitpid()). Obviously, if tasks spawn children indefinitely and never have the exit status reaped, then you may have a memory leak! If you enable the SCHED_CHILD_STATUS feature, then your application must take responsibility for either (1) reaping the child status with wait(), waitpid(), or waitid() or it must (2) suppress retention of child status. Otherwise, your system will eventually fail. Retention of child status can be suppressed on the parent using logic like: struct sigaction sa; sa.sa_handler = SIG_IGN; sa.sa_flags = SA_NOCLDWAIT; int ret = sigaction(SIGCHLD, &sa, NULL); config DEBUG_CHILDSTATUS bool "Enable Child Status Debug Output" default n depends on SCHED_CHILD_STATUS && DEBUG_FEATURES ---help--- Very detailed... I am sure that you do not want this. endif # SCHED_CHILD_STATUS config SCHED_WAITPID bool "Enable waitpid() API" default n ---help--- Enables the waitpid() interface in a default, non-standard mode (non-standard in the sense that the waited for PID need not be child of the caller). If SCHED_HAVE_PARENT is also defined, then this setting will modify the behavior or waitpid() (making more spec compliant) and will enable the waitid() and wait() interfaces as well. config SCHED_DUMP_LEAK bool "Enable catch task memory leak" default n ---help--- When this option is enabled, the task's outstanding memory allocations are printed using syslog. This helps catch any memory allocated by the task that remains unreleased when the task exits. config SCHED_USER_IDENTITY bool "Support per-task User Identity" default n ---help--- This selection enables functionality of getuid(), setuid(), getgid(), setgid(). If this option is not selected, then stub, root-only versions of these interfaces are available. When selected, these interfaces will associate a UID and/or GID with each task group. Those can then be managed using the interfaces. Child tasks will inherit the UID and GID of its parent. config SCHED_THREAD_LOCAL bool "Support __thread/thread_local keyword" default n depends on ARCH_HAVE_THREAD_LOCAL ---help--- This option enables architecture-specific TLS support (__thread/thread_local keyword) Note: Toolchain must be compiled with '--enable-tls' enabled endmenu # Tasks and Scheduling menu "Pthread Options" depends on !DISABLE_PTHREAD config PTHREAD_MUTEX_TYPES bool "Enable mutex types" default n ---help--- Set to enable support for recursive and errorcheck mutexes.

You should select this option only for backward compatibility with software you may be porting or, perhaps, if you are trying to minimize footprint. config PTHREAD_MUTEX_BOTH bool "Both robust and unsafe mutexes" ---help--- Support both forms of NORMAL mutexes. endchoice # pthread mutex robustness choice prompt "Default NORMAL mutex robustness" default PTHREAD_MUTEX_DEFAULT_ROBUST depends on PTHREAD_MUTEX_BOTH config PTHREAD_MUTEX_DEFAULT_ROBUST bool "Robust default" ---help--- The default is robust NORMAL mutexes (non-standard) config PTHREAD_MUTEX_DEFAULT_UNSAFE bool "Unsafe default" ---help--- The default is traditional unsafe NORMAL mutexes (standard) endchoice # Default NORMAL mutex robustness choice prompt "Default pthread mutex protocol" default PTHREAD_MUTEX_DEFAULT_PRIO_NONE config PTHREAD_MUTEX_DEFAULT_PRIO_NONE bool "PTHREAD_PRIO_NONE default" ---help--- By default, pthread mutexes utilize PTHREAD_PRIO_NONE protocol (standard). config PTHREAD_MUTEX_DEFAULT_PRIO_INHERIT bool "PTHREAD_PRIO_INHERIT default" depends on PRIORITY_INHERITANCE ---help--- By default, pthread mutexes utilize PTHREAD_PRIO_INHERIT protocol (POSIX non-standard but a reasonable choice for most real-time systems). endchoice # Default pthread mutex protocol config PTHREAD_CLEANUP_STACKSIZE int "pthread cleanup stack size" default 0 range 0 255 ---help--- The maximum number of cleanup actions that may be pushed by pthread_cleanup_push(). if 0 disable the interfaces pthread_cleanup_push() and pthread_cleanup_pop(). This setting will increase the size of EVERY pthread task control block by about n * CONFIG_PTHREAD_CLEANUP_STACKSIZE where n is the size of a pointer, 2 * sizeof(uintptr_t), this would be 8 for a CPU with 32-bit addressing and 4 for a CPU with 16-bit addressing. config CANCELLATION_POINTS bool "Cancellation points" default n ---help--- Enable POSIX cancellation points for pthread_cancel().

These counts will be available in the mounted procfs file systems at the top-level file, "irqs". config SCHED_CRITMONITOR bool "Enable Critical Section monitoring" default n depends on FS_PROCFS select SCHED_SUSPENDSCHEDULER select SCHED_RESUMESCHEDULER select IRQCOUNT ---help--- Enables logic that monitors the duration of time that a thread keeps interrupts or pre-emption disabled. These global locks can have negative consequences to real time performance: Disabling interrupts adds jitter in the time when an interrupt request is asserted until the hardware can respond with the interrupt. Disabling pre-emption adds jitter in the time from when the event is posted in the interrupt handler until the task that responds to the event can run. if SCHED_CRITMONITOR config SCHED_CRITMONITOR_MAXTIME_THREAD int "THREAD max execution time" default 0 ---help--- Thread execution time should be smaller than SCHED_CRITMONITOR_MAXTIME_THREAD, or system will give a warning.

This is a very coarse measurement, but over a period of time, it can very accurately determine the percentage of the time that the CPU is IDLE. The statistics collected in this could be used, for example, in the PROCFS file system to provide CPU load measurements when read. Note that in tickless mode of operation (SCHED_TICKLESS) there is no system timer interrupt and CPU load measurements will not be possible unless you provide an alternative clock to drive the sampling and select SCHED_CPULOAD_EXTCLK. config SCHED_CPULOAD_NONE bool "None CPU load clock source" ---help--- If this option is enabled, the system will not support CPU load measurement. config SCHED_CPULOAD_SYSCLK bool "Use system clock" depends on !SCHED_TICKLESS ---help--- If this option is enabled, the system clock is used for cpu load measurement by default. There is a serious issue for the accuracy of measurements if the system clock is used, however. NuttX threads are often started at the time of the system timer expiration. Others may be stopped at the time of the system timer expiration (if round-robin time-slicing is enabled). Such thread behavior occurs synchronously with the system timer and, hence, is not randomly sampled. As a consequence, the CPU load attributed to these threads that run synchronously with they system timer may be grossly in error. The CPU load measurements are determined by sampling the active tasks periodically at the occurrence to a timer expiration. If tickless is enabled, SYSCLK should not be used. Its error will be very large, and using it for analysis will lead to wrong conclusions. config SCHED_CPULOAD_EXTCLK bool "Use external clock" ---help--- There is a serious issue for the accuracy of measurements if the system clock is used, however. NuttX threads are often started at the time of the system timer expiration. Others may be stopped at the time of the system timer expiration (if round-robin time-slicing is enabled). Such thread behavior occurs synchronously with the system timer and, hence, is not randomly sampled. As a consequence, the CPU load attributed to these threads that run synchronously with they system timer may be grossly in error. The solution is to use some other clock that runs at a different rate and has timer expirations that are asynchronous with the system timer. Then truly accurate load measurements can be achieved. This option enables use of such an "external" clock. The implementation of the clock must be provided by platform-specific logic; that platform-specific logic must call the system function nxsched_process_cpuload_ticks() at each timer expiration with interrupts disabled. config SCHED_CPULOAD_CRITMONITOR bool "Use critical monitor" depends on SCHED_CRITMONITOR ---help--- Use the perfcounter in the core of the chip as a counter, no need to use an external timer.

CPULOAD_ONESHOT_ENTROPY is (1 << CONFIG_CPULOAD_ENTROPY), and 'error' is an error value that is retained from interval to interval so that although individual intervals are randomized, the average will still be CONFIG_SCHED_CPULOAD_TICKSPERSEC.
