[PATCH v2] libpthread/nptl: make default stack size configurable
Threads currently have 2-4 MiB stacks by default (depending on the platform). This is fine on MMU platforms, where this stack space is not actually allocated until it is used, but tends to waste a large amount of memory on no-MMU platforms. This patch adds a PTHREADS_STACK_DEFAULT_SIZE Kconfig option that allows the user to override the default stack size at build time. This allows the user to select a reasonable default stack size for the software that runs on their system, and avoids the need to patch every package to add calls to pthread_attr_setstacksize(). An alternative to this patch would be to change the hardcoded default stack size on no-MMU platforms, but it is difficult to choose an appropriate value because the minimum required stack depends on the software in use. This would also be a breaking change.

Hi Ben, what device do you using? How many RAM it has? And what stack size is configured? Is NPTL woring on your ARM noMMU device with this patch? best regards Waldemar Ben Wolsieffer wrote,
Threads currently have 2-4 MiB stacks by default (depending on the platform). This is fine on MMU platforms, where this stack space is not actually allocated until it is used, but tends to waste a large amount of memory on no-MMU platforms.
This patch adds a PTHREADS_STACK_DEFAULT_SIZE Kconfig option that allows the user to override the default stack size at build time. This allows the user to select a reasonable default stack size for the software that runs on their system, and avoids the need to patch every package to add calls to pthread_attr_setstacksize().
An alternative to this patch would be to change the hardcoded default stack size on no-MMU platforms, but it is difficult to choose an appropriate value because the minimum required stack depends on the software in use. This would also be a breaking change.

Hi Ben,
what device do you using? How many RAM it has? And what stack size is configured? Is NPTL woring on your ARM noMMU device with this patch?
We are using an Emcraft STM32F746 SOM with 64 MiB of RAM. We set the default stack size to 16 KiB, which appears to be enough for all the software we run (although we have no way of detecting stack overflows that don't cause a crash or other obvious problem). We create quite a few threads in our own software, and haven't run into any bugs in NPTL. In our code, we can easily set the stack size explicitly, but we use some third party libraries and applications that create their own threads, and these are why we would like to be able to change the default stack size.
best regards Waldemar
Hi Ben, thanks for the patch I could verify that NPTL is now working on my STM32F746G-Disco with only 8 MB of RAM. I configured 16kb stack size. Committed and pushed, thanks Waldemar Ben Wolsieffer wrote,
Threads currently have 2-4 MiB stacks by default (depending on the platform). This is fine on MMU platforms, where this stack space is not actually allocated until it is used, but tends to waste a large amount of memory on no-MMU platforms.
This patch adds a PTHREADS_STACK_DEFAULT_SIZE Kconfig option that allows the user to override the default stack size at build time. This allows the user to select a reasonable default stack size for the software that runs on their system, and avoids the need to patch every package to add calls to pthread_attr_setstacksize().
An alternative to this patch would be to change the hardcoded default stack size on no-MMU platforms, but it is difficult to choose an appropriate value because the minimum required stack depends on the software in use. This would also be a breaking change.
