cdl_option CYGIMP_HAL_COMMON_INTERRUPTS_USE_INTERRUPT_STACK {
    display       "Use separate stack for interrupts"
    default_value 1
    description   "
        When an interrupt occurs this interrupt can be handled either
        on the current stack or on a separate stack maintained by the
        HAL. 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.

    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."

    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."

    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."

    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."
