CONFIG_ZERO_LATENCY_IRQS

Enable zero-latency interrupts

Type: bool

Help

The kernel may reserve some of the highest interrupts priorities in
the system for its own use. These interrupts will not be masked
by interrupt locking.
When connecting interrupts the kernel will offset all interrupts
to lower priority than those reserved by the kernel.
Zero-latency interrupt can be used to set up an interrupt at the
highest interrupt priority which will not be blocked by interrupt
locking.
Since Zero-latency ISRs will run in the same priority or possibly at
higher priority than the rest of the kernel they cannot use any
kernel functionality.
