The parameter <em>stacksz</em> specifies thereby the stack requirements of this thread function. CMSIS-RTOS RTX defines two methods for defining the stack requirements:</p>
<ul>
<li>when <em>stacksz</em> is 0, a fixed-size memory pool is used to for the thread stack. In this case <b>OS_STKSIZE</b> specifies the stack size for the thread function.</li>
<li>when <em>stacksz</em> is not 0, the thread stack is allocated from a user space. The size of this user space is specified with <b>OS_PRIVSTKSIZE</b>.</li>

<h1><a class="anchor" id="StackCheck"></a>
Stack Overflow Checking</h1>
<p>CMSIS-RTOS RTX implements a software stack overflow checking that traps stack overruns. Stack is used for return addresses and automatic variables and extensive usage or incorrect stack configuration may cause a stack overflow. Software stack overflow checking is controlled with the <b>#define OS_STKCHECK</b>.</p>
<p>If a stack overflow is detected, the function <b>os_error</b> with error code = 1 is called. By default, this function is implemented as endless loop and will practically stop code execution.</p>
<h1><a class="anchor" id="StackUsage"></a>
Stack Usage Watermark</h1>
<p>CMSIS-RTOS RTX initializes thread stack with watermark pattern (0xCC) when thread is created. This allows the debugger to determine maximum stack usage for each thread. It is typically used during development but removed from the final application. Stack usage watermark is controlled with the <b>#define OS_STKINIT</b>.</p>
<p>Enabling this option increases significantly the execution time of <a class="el" href="group___c_m_s_i_s___r_t_o_s___thread_mgmt.html#gac59b5713cb083702dce759c73fd90dff">osThreadCreate</a> (depends on thread stack size).</p>
<h1><a class="anchor" id="ProcessorMode"></a>
Processor Mode for Thread Execution</h1>
<p>CMSIS-RTOS RTX allows to execute threads in unprivileged or privileged processor mode. The processor mode is controlled with the <b>#define OS_RUNPRIV</b>.</p>
<p>In unprivileged processor mode, the software:</p>
<ul>
<li>has limited access to the MSR and MRS instructions, and cannot use the CPS instruction.</li>
<li>cannot access the system timer, NVIC, or system control block.</li>
<li>might have restricted access to memory or peripherals.</li>
</ul>
<p>In privileged processor mode the software can use all the instructions and has access to all resources.</p>
<dl class="section note"><dt>Note</dt><dd>It is recommended to use the privileged processor mode. </dd></dl>
