## Summary This patch adds support for preemptive scheduling in NuttX simulator build. It uses a host system timer to generate periodic signals which act like a hardware tick. A new defconfig has been added for the simulator build named ```nsh3```. ## Impact The simulation would be more responsive using this approach, as we don't have to deliver the events from the ```Idle Task```. If a task is ending up in an infinite closed loop, it will be preempted as opposed to locking the entire simulation. ## Testing To enable this feature : ``` CONFIG_SIM_PREEMPTIBLE ``` should be enabled from Kconfig. The patch can be tested by using this config: ``` ./tools/configure.sh -a ../incubator-nuttx-apps sim/nsh3 ``` Testing the simulator build on OSX requires allocating ~128k of stack size for tasks.
