/**
* @defgroup core_thread Threading
* @ingroup core
* @brief Support for multi-threading
*
* Priorities
* ==========
*
* As RIOT is using a fixed priority @ref core_sched "scheduling algorithm",
* threads are scheduled based on their priority. The priority is fixed for
* every thread and specified during the thread's creation by the `priority`
* parameter.
*
* The lower the priority value, the higher the priority of the thread,
* with 0 being the highest possible priority.
*
* The lowest possible priority is @ref THREAD_PRIORITY_IDLE - 1.
*
* @note Assigning the same priority to two or more threads is usually not a
* good idea. A thread in RIOT may run until it yields (@ref
* thread_yield) or another thread with higher priority is runnable (@ref
* STATUS_ON_RUNQUEUE) again. Multiple threads with the same priority
* will therefore be scheduled cooperatively: when one of them is running,
* all others with the same priority depend on it to yield (or be interrupted
* by a thread with higher priority).
* This may make it difficult to determine when which of them gets
* scheduled and how much CPU time they will get. In most applications,
* the number of threads in application is significantly smaller than the
* number of available priorities, so assigning distinct priorities per
* thread should not be a problem. Only assign the same priority to
* multiple threads if you know what you are doing!
*
* Thread Behavior
* ===============
* In addition to the priority, flags can be used when creating a thread to
* alter the thread's behavior after creation. The following flags are available:
*
* Flags | Description
* ----------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------
* @ref THREAD_CREATE_SLEEPING | the thread will sleep until woken up manually
* @ref THREAD_CREATE_WOUT_YIELD | the thread might not run immediately after creation
* @ref THREAD_CREATE_STACKTEST | measures the stack's memory usage
*
* Thread creation
* ===============
* Creating a new thread is internally done in two steps:
* 1. the new thread's stack is initialized depending on the platform
* 2. the new thread is added to the scheduler and the scheduler is run (if not
* indicated otherwise)
*
* @note Creating threads from within an ISR is currently supported, however it
* is considered to be a bad programming practice and we strongly
* discourage you from doing so.
*
* Usage
* -----
* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ {.c}
* #include "thread.h"
*
* char rcv_thread_stack[THREAD_STACKSIZE_MAIN];
*
* void *rcv_thread(void *arg)
* {
* (void) arg;
* msg_t m;
*
* while (1) {
* msg_receive(&m);
* printf("Got msg from %" PRIkernel_pid "\n", m.sender_pid);
* }
*
* return NULL;
* }
*
* int main(void)
* {
* thread_create(rcv_thread_stack, sizeof(rcv_thread_stack),
* THREAD_PRIORITY_MAIN - 1, THREAD_CREATE_STACKTEST,
* rcv_thread, NULL, "rcv_thread");
* }
* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*
* Reading from the top down, you can see that first, stack memory for our thread
* `rcv_thread` is preallocated, followed by an implementation of the thread's
* function. Communication between threads is done using @ref core_msg. In this
* case, `rcv_thread` will print the process id of each thread that sent a
* message to `rcv_thread`.
*
* After it has been properly defined, `rcv_thread` is created with a call to
* @ref thread_create() in `main()`. It is assigned a priority of
* `THREAD_PRIORITY_MAIN - 1`, i.e. a slightly *higher* priority than the main
* thread. Since neither the `THREAD_CREATE_SLEEPING` nor the
* `THREAD_CREATE_WOUT_YIELD` flag is set, `rcv_thread` will be executed
* immediately.
*
* @note If the messages to the thread are sent using @ref msg_try_send() or
* from an ISR, activate your thread's message queue by calling
* @ref msg_init_queue() to prevent messages from being dropped when
* they can't be handled right away. The same applies if you'd like
* msg_send() to your thread to be non-blocking. For more details, see
* @ref core_msg "the Messaging documentation".
