config TASK_IN_SCHED

When enabled, each cpu's scheduler will execute tasks of
known size when no real-time task would be impeded. This
lifts such tasks to a priority just below real-time threads.
Note that the eager EDF properties of the scheduler are maintained -
if an RT thread is runnable, it will still run in preference
to in-scheduler task execution, no matter how much slack is available.

config TASK_IN_IDLE_NOPREEMPT

bool "Execute tasks within idle with preemption disabled"

help
When enabled, the idle loop executes tasks with preemption
disabled, which can result in priority inversion for
real-time threads. However, with preemption enabled, the idle loop
may start a task, then get preempted. The task is then in
limbo until the idle loop is run again, which may be never
given that it has the lowest possible priority in the
system. The purpose of this option is to choose
which of these behaviors you want if you are executing tasks
in idle loops.
config INTERRUPT_THREAD
bool "Restrict interrupts to special real-time interrupt thread"
default false
help
When enabled, all interrupts, except scheduling-related
interrupts, are ignored except when a special, per-core
interrupt thread is running. The interrupt thread is a
periodic real-time thread. This forces interrupt handlers
to start only at well-constrained points in time.
If interrupt handlers are of bounded, known duration, they
also then finish before well-contrained points in time
(max: end of slice + interrupt duration). The downside
of this mechanism is that interrupts are delayed until
the interrupt thread is run, increasing interrupt latency.
Note that threads can insulate themselves from interrupts
outside of this mechanism, using the interrupt_priority_class
mechanism.
