If an application does not make use of DSRs directly or indirectly then it is possible to disable the DSR support completely, which reduces the overheads of context switches and interrupt handling. Note that the kernel real-time clock makes use of DSRs, as do many of the device drivers.

This information can be kept in a fixed-size table or in a linked list. The list implementation requires that the kernel disable interrupts for a very short period of time outside interrupt handlers, but there is no possibility of a table overflow occurring." } cdl_component CYGIMP_KERNEL_INTERRUPTS_DSRS_TABLE { display "Use fixed-size table for DSRs" default_value 0 implements CYGINT_KERNEL_INTERRUPTS_DSRS description " When DSR support is enabled the kernel must keep track of all the DSRs that are pending. This information can be kept in a fixed-size table or in a linked list. The table implementation involves a very small risk of overflow at run-time if a given interrupt source is able to have more than one pending DSR. However it has the advantage that the kernel does not need to disable interrupts outside interrupt handlers." cdl_option CYGNUM_KERNEL_INTERRUPTS_DSRS_TABLE_SIZE { display "Number of entries in fixed-size DSR table" flavor data legal_values 2 to 1024 default_value 32 description " When DSR support is enabled the kernel must keep track of all the DSRs that are pending.

By increasing the table size it is possible to reduce this risk." } } cdl_option CYGIMP_KERNEL_INTERRUPTS_CHAIN { display "Chain all interrupts together" requires CYGIMP_HAL_COMMON_INTERRUPTS_CHAIN 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." } }
