/**
* DOC: Overview
*
* The uthread framework is a basic task scheduler that allows to run functions
* "in parallel" on a single CPU core. The scheduling is cooperative, not
* preemptive -- meaning that context switches from one task to another task is
* voluntary, via a call to uthread_schedule(). This characteristic makes thread
* synchronization much easier, because a thread cannot be interrupted in the
* middle of a critical section (reading from or writing to shared state, for
* instance).
*
* CONFIG_UTHREAD in lib/Kconfig enables the uthread framework. When disabled,
* the uthread_create() and uthread_schedule() functions may still be used so
* that code differences between uthreads enabled and disabled can be reduced to
* a minimum.
