* Name: up_allocate_heap
*
* Description:
- * The heap may be statically allocated by
- * defining CONFIG_HEAP_BASE and CONFIG_HEAP_SIZE. If these
- * are not defined, then this function will be called to
- * dynamically set aside the heap region.
+ * This function will be called to dynamically set aside the heap region.
+ *
+ * For the kernel build (CONFIG_NUTTX_KERNEL=y) with both kernel- and
+ * user-space heaps (CONFIG_MM_KERNEL_HEAP=y), this function provides the
+ * size of the unprotected, user-space heap.
+ *
+ * If a protected kernel-space heap is provided, the kernel heap must be
+ * allocated (and protected) by an analogous up_allocate_kheap().
