# NOTE: the requires statement is only valid for the current kernel.
# Priority inheritance is possible in other schedulers as well
# but is not yet implemented.

    default_value 1
    description   "
        This option enables a relatively simple implementation of
        mutex priority inheritance. The implementation will only work
        in the mlqueue scheduler, and it does not handle the rare
        case of nested mutexes completely correctly. However it is
        both fast and deterministic. Mutex priority inheritance can
        be disabled if the application does not require it, which
        will reduce both code size and data space."

    default_value 1
    description   "
        This option enables an extension to the simple implementation of
        mutex priority inheritance whereby a thread releasing a mutex to a
        waiting thread relays its own priority to the new owner if there
        are still further threads waiting.  This can be viewed as a
        discovered priority ceiling."

    description   "
        Message boxes can support three different versions of the
        put-message operation. The first is tryput(), which will fail
        if the message box is already full. The other two are the
        ordinary put() function which will block if the message box
        is full, and a timed put() operation which will block for
        upto a certain length of time if the message box is currently
        full. The blocking versions require extra memory in the
        message box data structure and extra code in the other
        message box functions, so they can be disabled if the
        application does not require them. If this option is enabled
        then the system will always provide the blocking put()
        function, and it will also provide the timed put() function
        if thread timers are enabled."

        This configuration option controls the number of messages
        that can be queued in a message box before a non-blocking
        put() operation will fail or a blocking put() operation will
        block. The cost in memory is one pointer per message box for
        each possible message."
