CONFIG_ARCH_MEM_DOMAIN_SYNCHRONOUS_API
¶
(No prompt – not directly user assignable.)
Type: bool
Help¶
This hidden option is selected by the target architecture if modifying a memory domain’s partitions at runtime, or changing a memory domain’s thread membership requires synchronous calls into the architecture layer.
If enabled, the architecture layer must implement the following APIs:
arch_mem_domain_thread_add arch_mem_domain_thread_remove arch_mem_domain_partition_remove arch_mem_domain_partition_add arch_mem_domain_destroy
It’s important to note that although supervisor threads can be members of memory domains, they have no implications on supervisor thread access to memory. Memory domain APIs may only be invoked from supervisor mode.
For these reasons, on uniprocessor systems unless memory access policy is managed in separate software constructions like page tables, these APIs don’t need to be implemented as the underlying memory management hardware will be reprogrammed on context switch anyway.
Defaults¶

This hidden option is selected by the target architecture if
modifying a memory domain's partitions at runtime, or changing

If enabled, the architecture layer must implement the following
APIs:
arch_mem_domain_thread_add
arch_mem_domain_thread_remove
arch_mem_domain_partition_remove
arch_mem_domain_partition_add
arch_mem_domain_destroy

thread access to memory. Memory domain APIs may only be invoked from
