        This option controls whether or not the kernel should support
        per-thread clock and alarm related functions. Also some of
        the synchronization primitives such as semaphore and
        condition variable timed wait operations require per-thread
        timer support. If none of these facilities are required then
        the option can be disabled."

        This option makes the kernel keep track of the lower limit on

    description   "
        This configuration option specifies the stack size in bytes
        for the idle thread. Unless the HAL is configured to use a
        separate interrupt stack this size must be sufficient to meet
        the requirements of all interrupt handlers - these
        requirements are cumulative if nested interrupted are
        enabled. Depending on the target architecture, the stack size
        typically has to be a multiple of eight or sixteen bytes.
        This will be overridden where it is used if the
        architectural HAL requires a minimum stack size
        to handle interrupts correctly."
