Hi @anchao , add sched_sleep.c also in the CMakeLists.txt file. |

Will this work for tickless? |

Yes, this feature is implemented by the wd timer. Tickless is a behavior of the timer subsystem and has no related with the current implementation. |

Nuttx currently has 2 types of sleep interfaces: 1. Signal-scheduled sleep: nxsig_sleep() / nxsig_usleep() / nxsig_nanosleep() Weaknesses: a. Signal-dependent: The signal-scheduled sleep method is bound to the signal framework, while some driver sleep operations do not depend on signals. b. Timespec conversion: Signal-scheduled sleep involves timespec conversion, which has a significant impact on performance. 2. Busy sleep: up_mdelay() / up_udelay() Weaknesses: a. Does not actively trigger scheduling, occupy the CPU loading. 3. New interfaces: Scheduled sleep: nxsched_sleep() / nxsched_usleep() / nxsched_msleep() / nxsched_ticksleep() Strengths: a. Does not depend on the signal framework. b. Tick-based, without additional computational overhead. Currently, the Nuttx driver framework extensively uses nxsig_* interfaces. However, the driver does not need to rely on signals or timespec conversion. Therefore, a new set of APIs is added to reduce dependencies on other modules. (This PR also aims to make signals optional, further reducing the code size of Nuttx.) Signed-off-by: chao an <anchao.archer@bytedance.com>

Summary
sched/sleep: add support for scheduling sleep
Nuttx currently has 2 types of sleep interfaces:
Signal-scheduled sleep: nxsig_sleep() / nxsig_usleep() / nxsig_nanosleep()
Weaknesses:
a. Signal-dependent: The signal-scheduled sleep method is bound to the signal framework, while some driver sleep operations do not depend on signals.
b. Timespec conversion: Signal-scheduled sleep involves timespec conversion, which has a significant impact on performance.
Busy sleep: up_mdelay() / up_udelay()
Weaknesses:
a. Does not actively trigger scheduling, occupy the CPU loading.
New interfaces: Scheduled sleep: nxsched_sleep() / nxsched_usleep() / nxsched_msleep() / nxsched_ticksleep()
Strengths:
a. Does not depend on the signal framework.
b. Tick-based, without additional computational overhead.
Currently, the Nuttx driver framework extensively uses nxsig_* interfaces. However, the driver does not need to rely on signals or timespec conversion.
Therefore, a new set of APIs is added to reduce dependencies on other modules.
(This PR also aims to make signals optional, further reducing the code size of Nuttx.)
