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.

There are certain dependency relationships in these

features.

1) mq_notify logic depends on signals to awaken tasks

waiting for queues to become full or empty.

2) pthread_condtimedwait() depends on signals to wake

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 and interval timer is
|
|
used to schedule the next OS time event. This option selects that

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.

|
|
---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_systimer() 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.

497 days which is probably a sufficient range for "uptime".

Remember the ID of the parent task when a new child task is

SIGCHLD) and modifies the behavior of other interfaces. For

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' 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;

|
|
---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. If this
|
|
setting is not defined or if it is defined to be zero then a value
|
|
of 2*MAX_TASKS is used.
|
|
|
|
Note that there cannot be more than MAX_TASKS tasks in total.
|
|
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.

The CPU load measurements are determined by sampling the active

default, the system clock is used to do that sampling.
|
|
|
|
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

sched_process_cpuload() at each timer expiration with interrupts

This options selects multiple, low-priority threads. This is

essentially a "thread pool" that provides multi-threaded servicing

of the "queue" (hence, it is no longer a queue at all).

This options is required to support, for example, I/O operations

that stall waiting for input. If there is only a single thread,

then the entire low-priority queue processing stalls in such cases.

Such behavior is necessary to support asynchronous I/O, AIO (for

example).

CAUTION: Some drivers may use the work queue to serialize

operations. The may also use the low-priority work queue if it is

available. If there are multiple low-priority worker thread, then

this can result in the loss of that serialization. There may be

concurrent driver operations running on different LP threads and
