32 * \brief Idle loop for preemptive scheduling

41 #include <cfg/module.h>
44 // below there's a TRACE so we need a big stack
45 PROC_DEFINE_STACK(idle_stack, KERN_MINSTACKSIZE * 2);
50 * This process never dies and never sleeps. It's also quite lazy, apathic
51 * and sometimes even a little antisocial.
53 * Having an idle process costs us some stack space, but simplifies the
54 * interrupt-driven preemption logic because there is always a user
55 * context to which we can return.
57 * The idle process is not required for cooperative task switching.
