/**
 * 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.
