Using a separate stack requires a small number of extra instructions in the interrupt handling code, but it has the advantage that it is no longer necessary to allow extra space in every thread stack for the interrupt handlers. The amount of extra space required depends on the interrupt handlers that are being used." } # NOTE: various parts of the system such as device drivers should # impose lower bounds on this. The actual lower bound depends on a # platform-specific value for startup overheads, and the minimum # sizes specified by the various device drivers. If interrupts are # not handled on a separate stack then only the startup overheads # are significant. If nested interrupts are disabled then the # lower bound is the maximum of the individual sizes, otherwise # it is the sum of these sizes. It is not currently possible to # express a relationship like this. cdl_option CYGNUM_HAL_COMMON_INTERRUPTS_STACK_SIZE { display "Interrupt stack size" flavor data default_value { CYGPKG_KERNEL ? 4096 : 32768 } legal_values 128 to 1048576 description " This configuration option specifies the stack size in bytes for the interrupt stack. Typically this should be a multiple of 16, but the exact requirements will vary from architecture to architecture. The interrupt stack serves two separate purposes. It is used as the stack during system initialization. In addition, if the interrupt system is configured to use a separate stack then all interrupts will be processed on this stack. The exact memory requirements will vary from application to application, and will depend heavily on whether or not other interrupt-related options, for example nested interrupts, are enabled. On most targets, in a configuration with no kernel this stack will also be the stack used to invoke the application, and must obviously be appropriately large in that case." } cdl_option CYGSEM_HAL_COMMON_INTERRUPTS_ALLOW_NESTING { display "Allow nested interrupts" default_value 0 description " When an interrupt occurs the HAL interrupt handling code can either leave interrupts disabled for the duration of the interrupt handling code, or by doing some extra work it can reenable interrupts before invoking the interrupt handler and thus allow nested interrupts to happen. If all the interrupt handlers being used are small and do not involve any loops then it is usually better to disallow nested interrupts. However if any of the interrupt handlers are more complicated than nested interrupts will usually be required." } cdl_option CYGDBG_HAL_COMMON_INTERRUPTS_SAVE_MINIMUM_CONTEXT { display "Save minimum context on interrupt" default_value 1 description " The HAL interrupt handling code can exploit the calling conventions defined for a given architecture to reduce the amount of state that has to be saved. Generally this improves performance and reduces code size. However it can make source-level debugging more difficult." } cdl_option CYGIMP_HAL_COMMON_INTERRUPTS_CHAIN { display "Chain all interrupts together" default_value 0 description " Interrupts can be attached to vectors either singly, or be chained together. The latter is necessary if there is no way of discovering which device has interrupted without inspecting the device itself. It can also reduce the amount of RAM needed for interrupt decoding tables and code." } cdl_option CYGIMP_HAL_COMMON_INTERRUPTS_IGNORE_SPURIOUS { display "Ignore spurious \[fleeting\] interrupts" default_value 0 description " On some hardware, interrupt sources may not be de-bounced or de-glitched. Rather than try to handle these interrupts (no handling may be possible), this option allows the HAL to simply ignore them. In most cases, if the interrupt is real it will reoccur in a detectable form." }
