CONFIG_SPIN_VALIDATE¶

Enable spinlock validation

Type: bool

Help¶

There's a spinlock validation framework available when asserts are
enabled. It adds a relatively hefty overhead (about 3k or so) to
kernel code size, don't use on platforms known to be small.

Direct dependencies¶

ASSERT && MULTITHREADING && MP_NUM_CPUS <= 4

(Includes any dependencies from ifs and menus.)

Default¶

y if !FLASH || FLASH_SIZE > 32

Kconfig definition¶

At <Zephyr Subsystem>/debug/Kconfig:217

Included via Kconfig:8 → Kconfig.zephyr:44 → <Zephyr Subsystem>/Kconfig:17

Menu path: (Top) → Sub Systems and OS Services → Debugging Options → Enable __ASSERT() macro

config SPIN_VALIDATE
    bool "Enable spinlock validation"
    default y if !FLASH || FLASH_SIZE > 32
    depends on ASSERT && MULTITHREADING && MP_NUM_CPUS <= 4
