This makes the kernel, except for very + low level and critical code paths (entry code, scheduler, low + level interrupt handling) fully preemptible and brings most + execution contexts under scheduler control. + + Select this if you are building a kernel for systems which + require real-time guarantees. + +endchoice + +config PREEMPT_COUNT + bool + +config PREEMPTION + bool + select PREEMPT_COUNT + +config PREEMPT_DYNAMIC + bool "Preemption behaviour defined on boot" + depends on HAVE_PREEMPT_DYNAMIC && !PREEMPT_RT + select JUMP_LABEL if HAVE_PREEMPT_DYNAMIC_KEY + select PREEMPT_BUILD + default y if HAVE_PREEMPT_DYNAMIC_CALL + help + This option allows to define the preemption model on the kernel + command line parameter and thus override the default preemption + model defined during compile time. + + The feature is primarily interesting for Linux distributions which + provide a pre-built kernel binary to reduce the number of kernel + flavors they offer while still offering different usecases. + + The runtime overhead is negligible with HAVE_STATIC_CALL_INLINE enabled + but if runtime patching is not available for the specific architecture + then the potential overhead should be considered. + + Interesting if you want the same pre-built kernel should be used for + both Server and Desktop workloads. + +config SCHED_CORE + bool "Core Scheduling for SMT" + depends on SCHED_SMT + help + This option permits Core Scheduling, a means of coordinated task + selection across SMT siblings.
