=Thread Scheduling Mask=
The thread scheduling mask is made of a low nibble (enum) and a high nibble (bitfield).
 
Low nibble:
 
{| class="wikitable" border="1"
|-
! Value
! Description
|-
| 0
| The thread is not scheduled
|-
| 1
| The thread is scheduled
|-
| 2
| The thread is being terminated
|}
 
High nibble:
{| class="wikitable" border="1"
|-
|-
| 0xA4
! Mask
| KThread*
! Description
| Next (virtual address)
|-
|-
| 0xA8
| 0
| struct { KThread* first; KThread* last; } ptr
| Nothing special
| Pointer to linked list that has stolen it, or 0 if in normal list
|-
| 0x8 (bit 3)
| The thread has been debug-locked
|}
|}
A thread is scheduled *if and only if* its (full) scheduling mask is exactly 1. This allows debug-(un)locking of threads to be done transparently.
=Thread Affinity Mask=
If the thread is created via a call to SVC 8(CreateThread), which uses thread creation type 3, and the CPU ID is -2(meaning use the core specified in the exheader), the mask is just the affinity mask from the thread's owner KProcess.  If the CPU ID is -1(meaning any core), the affinity mask is set to 0xF on the New3DS and 0x3 on the Old3DS.  Otherwise, the affinity mask is (1 << cpu_id) | 1.
If the thread is created via a call by the kernel, which uses thread creation types 0-2, the checks for -1 and -2 are skipped and the mask is always (1 << cpu_id) | 1.
