The naming of this selection implies that dynamic stack allocation is supported. Certainly this option must be set if dynamic stack allocation is supported by a platform. But the more general meaning of this configuration environment is simply that the stack has its own address space. NOTE: This option not yet fully implemented in the code base. Hence, it is marked EXPERIMENTAL: Do not enable it unless you plan finish the implementation. if ARCH_STACK_DYNAMIC config ARCH_STACK_VBASE hex "Virtual stack base" ---help--- The virtual address of the beginning the stack region config ARCH_STACK_NPAGES int "Max. stack pages" default 1 ---help--- The maximum number of pages that can allocated for the stack region.

If this option is not selected, then kernel system calls will simply use the caller's user stack. So, in most cases, this option is not required. However, this option is *required* if both BUILD_KERNEL and LIBC_EXECFUNCS are selected. Why? Because when we instantiate and initialize the address environment of the new user process, we will temporarily lose the address environment of the old user process, including its stack contents. The kernel C logic will crash immediately with no valid stack in place. When this option is selected, the smaller kernel stack stays in place during system call processing event though the original user stack may or may not be accessible. if ARCH_KERNEL_STACK config ARCH_KERNEL_STACKSIZE int "Kernel stack size" default 1568 ---help--- The common size of each process's kernel stack endif # ARCH_KERNEL_STACK config ARCH_PGPOOL_MAPPING bool "Have page pool mapping" default n ---help--- If there is a MMU mapping in place for the page pool memory, then this mapping can be utilized to simplify some page table operations. Otherwise, a temporary mapping will have to be established each time it is necessary to modify the contents of a page. if ARCH_PGPOOL_MAPPING config ARCH_PGPOOL_PBASE hex "Page pool physical address" default 0x0 ---help--- The physical address of the start of the page pool memory. This setting is probably equivalent to other platform specific definitions but is required again in order to modularize the common address environment logic. config ARCH_PGPOOL_VBASE hex "Page pool virtual address" default 0x0 ---help--- The virtual address of the start of the page pool memory. This setting is probably equivalent to other platform specific definitions but is required again in order to modularize the common address environment logic. config ARCH_PGPOOL_SIZE int "Page pool size (bytes)" default 0 ---help--- The size of the page pool memory in bytes.

This is also the number of virtual pages required to span the entire paged region. The on-demand paging feature is intended to support only the case where the virtual paged text area is much larger the available physical pages. Otherwise, why would you enable on-demand paging? config PAGING_NDATA int "Number of data pages" default 256 ---help--- This is the number of data pages in the memory map. The data region will extend to the end of RAM unless overridden by a setting in the configuration file. NOTE: In some architectures, it may be necessary to take some memory from the end of RAM for page tables or other system usage. The configuration settings and linker directives must be cognizant of that: PAGING_NDATA should be defined to prevent the data region from extending all the way to the end of memory. config PAGING_DEFPRIO int "Page fill worker thread priority" default 100 ---help--- The default, minimum priority of the page fill worker thread. The priority of the page fill work thread will be boosted boosted dynamically so that it matches the priority of the task on behalf of which it performs the fill. This defines the minimum priority that will be used. Default: 100. config PAGING_STACKSIZE int "Page fill worker thread stack size" default 1024 ---help--- Defines the size of the allocated stack for the page fill worker thread. Default: 1024. config PAGING_BLOCKINGFILL bool "Blocking fill" default n ---help--- The architecture specific up_fillpage() function may be blocking or non-blocking. If defined, this setting indicates that the up_fillpage() implementation will block until the transfer is completed. Default: Undefined (non-blocking). config PAGING_WORKPERIOD int "Work period (usec)" default 500000 ---help--- The page fill worker thread will wake periodically even if there is no mapping to do. This selection controls that wake-up period (in microseconds). This wake-up a failsafe that will handle any cases where a single is lost (that would really be a bug and shouldn't happen!) and also supports timeouts for case of non- blocking, asynchronous fills (see CONFIG_PAGING_TIMEOUT_TICKS). config PAGING_TIMEOUT bool "Paging timeout" default n ---help--- If defined, the implementation will monitor the (asynchronous) page fill logic. If the fill takes longer than than a timeout value, then a fatal error will be declared. Default: No timeouts monitored config PAGING_TIMEOUT_TICKS int "Paging timeout ticks" default 10 depends on PAGING_TIMEOUT ---help--- If PAGING_TIMEOUT is defined, then implementation will monitor the (asynchronous) page fill logic. If the fill takes longer than this number if microseconds, then a fatal error will be declared. Default: No timeouts monitored endif # PAGING config ARCH_IRQPRIO bool "Prioritized interrupt support" default n depends on ARCH_HAVE_IRQPRIO ---help--- Enable support for prioritized interrupts. NOTE: The use of interrupt priorities implies that you also have support for nested interrupts. Most architectures do not support nesting of interrupts or, if they do, they only supported nested interrupts with certain configuration options. So this selection should be used with caution. config ARCH_STACKDUMP bool "Dump stack on assertions" default n select DEBUG_ALERT ---help--- Enable to do stack dumps after assertions config ARCH_USBDUMP bool "Dump USB trace data" default n depends on USBDEV_TRACE ---help--- Enable to do USB trace after assertions config ENDIAN_BIG bool "Big Endian Architecture" default n depends on !ARCH_RISCV ---help--- Select if architecture operates using big-endian byte ordering. config ARCH_IDLE_CUSTOM bool "Custom IDLE loop" default n ---help--- Each architecture provides a "default" IDLE loop that exits when the MCU has nothing else to do. This default IDLE loop can be replaced by a custom, board-specific IDLE loop by setting this option. Such a custom IDLE loop may do things like a continuous built-in test or perhaps or IDLE low power operations. NOTE: As of this writing, this capability is only supported by ARM and MIPS architectures. However, the implementation is trivial: If CONFIG_ARCH_IDLE_CUSTOM is defined, then the default IDLE loop file is not included in the MCU-specific Make.defs file. config ARCH_CUSTOM_PMINIT bool "Custom PM initialization" default n depends on PM ---help--- Each architecture provides default power management (PM) initialization that is called automatically when the system is started. This default PM initialization can be replaced by custom, board-specific PM initialization by setting this option. Such a custom initialization may do additional PM-related initialization that is unique to the board power management requirements. NOTE: As of this writing, this capability is only supported by the STM32. However, the implementation is trivial: If CONFIG_ARCH_CUSTOM_PMINIT, then the default PM initialization is not included in the MCU-specific Make.defs file. config ARCH_HAVE_RAMFUNCS bool default n config ARCH_RAMFUNCS bool "Copy functions to RAM on startup" default y depends on ARCH_HAVE_RAMFUNCS ---help--- Copy some functions to RAM at boot time. This is done in some architectures to improve performance. In other cases, it is done so that FLASH can be reconfigured while the MCU executes out of SRAM. config ARCH_HAVE_RAMVECTORS bool default n config ARCH_RAMVECTORS bool "Support RAM interrupt vectors" default n depends on ARCH_HAVE_RAMVECTORS ---help--- If ARCH_RAMVECTORS is defined, then the architecture will support modifiable vectors in a RAM-based vector table. config ARCH_MINIMAL_VECTORTABLE bool "Minimal RAM usage for vector table" default n ---help--- Use a minimum amount of RAM for the vector table. Instead of allowing irq_attach() to work for all interrupt vectors, restrict to only working for a select few (defined in your board configuration). This can dramatically reduce the amount of RAM used be your vector table. To use this setting, you must have a file in your board config that provides: #include const irq_mapped_t g_irqmap[NR_IRQS] = { ... IRQ to index mapping values ... }; This table is index by the hardware IRQ number and provides a value in the range of 0 to CONFIG_ARCH_NUSER_INTERRUPTS that is the new, mapped index into the vector table. Unused, unmapped interrupts should be set to IRQMAPPED_MAX. So, for example, if g_irqmap[37] == 24, then the hardware interrupt vector 37 will be mapped to the interrupt vector table at index 24. if g_irqmap[42] == IRQMAPPED_MAX, then hardware interrupt vector 42 is not used and if it occurs will result in an unexpected interrupt crash. config ARCH_NUSER_INTERRUPTS int "Number of interrupts" default 0 depends on ARCH_MINIMAL_VECTORTABLE ---help--- If CONFIG_ARCH_MINIMAL_VECTORTABLE is defined, then this setting defines the actual number of valid, mapped interrupts in g_irqmap. This number will be the new size of the OS vector table # Bring-up debug configuration options. These are only intended for low level # bring-up and not part of normal platform configuration. They should never be # selected in a "normal" configuration and, hence, depend on both EXPERIMENTAL # and DEBUG_FEATURES. menu "Bring-Up Options" depends on EXPERIMENTAL && DEBUG_FEATURES config SUPPRESS_CLOCK_CONFIG bool "Suppress clock configuration" default n depends on ARCH_XTENSA ---help--- Do not configure clocking.

These delay loops must be calibrated for each board in order to assure accurate timing by the delay loops. comment "Interrupt options" config ARCH_HAVE_INTERRUPTSTACK bool default n config ARCH_INTERRUPTSTACK int "Interrupt Stack Size" depends on ARCH_HAVE_INTERRUPTSTACK default 0 ---help--- This architecture supports an interrupt stack. If defined, this symbol will be the size of the interrupt stack in bytes. If not defined (or defined to be zero), the user task stacks will be used during interrupt handling. config ARCH_HAVE_HIPRI_INTERRUPT bool default n config ARCH_HIPRI_INTERRUPT bool "High priority interrupts" default n depends on ARCH_HAVE_HIPRI_INTERRUPT && ARCH_HAVE_IRQPRIO select ARCH_IRQPRIO ---help--- NOTE: This description is currently unique to the Cortex-M family which is the only family that currently supports this feature. The general feature is not conceptually unique to the Cortex-M but if it is extended to any other family, then this discussion will have to be generalized. If ARMV7M_USEBASEPRI is selected, then interrupts will be disabled by setting the BASEPRI register to NVIC_SYSH_DISABLE_PRIORITY so that most interrupts will not have execution priority. SVCall must have execution priority in all cases. In the normal cases, interrupts are not nest-able and all interrupts run at an execution priority between NVIC_SYSH_PRIORITY_MIN and NVIC_SYSH_PRIORITY_MAX (with NVIC_SYSH_PRIORITY_MAX reserved for SVCall). If, in addition, ARCH_HIPRI_INTERRUPT is defined, then special high priority interrupts are supported. These are not "nested" in the normal sense of the word. These high priority interrupts can interrupt normal processing but execute outside of OS (although they can "get back into the game" via a PendSV interrupt). How do you specify a high priority interrupt? You need to do two things: 1) You need to change the address in the vector table so that the high priority interrupt vectors to your special C interrupt handler. There are two ways to do this: a) If you select CONFIG_ARCH_RAMVECTORS, then vectors will be kept in RAM and the system will support the interface: int up_ramvec_attach(int irq, up_vector_t vector) that can be used to attach your C interrupt handler to the vector at run time. b) Alternatively, you could keep your vectors in FLASH but in order to this, you would have to develop your own custom vector table. 2) Then set the priority of your interrupt to NVIC to NVIC_SYSH_HIGH_PRIORITY using the standard interface: int up_prioritize_irq(int irq, int priority) NOTE: ARCH_INTERRUPTSTACK must be set in kernel mode (BUILD_KERNEL). In kernel mode without an interrupt stack, the interrupt handler will set the MSP to the stack pointer of the interrupted thread. If the interrupted thread was a privileged thread, that will be the MSP otherwise it will be the PSP. If the PSP is used, then the value of the MSP will be invalid when the interrupt handler returns because it will be a pointer to an old position in the unprivileged stack. Then when the high priority interrupt occurs and uses this stale MSP, there will most likely be a system failure. If the interrupt stack is selected, on the other hand, then the interrupt handler will always set the MSP to the interrupt stack. So when the high priority interrupt occurs, it will either use the MSP of the last privileged thread to run or, in the case of the nested interrupt, the interrupt stack if no privileged task has run comment "Boot options" choice prompt "Boot Mode" default BOOT_RUNFROMFLASH config BOOT_RUNFROMEXTSRAM bool "Run from external SRAM" ---help--- Some configuration support booting and running from external SRAM. config BOOT_RUNFROMFLASH bool "Boot and run from flash" ---help--- Most configurations support XIP operation from FLASH but must copy initialized .data sections to RAM.
