The merge of the CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT stub renamed CONFIG_PREEMPT to
CONFIG_PREEMPT_LL which causes all defconfigs which have CONFIG_PREEMPT=y
set to fall back to CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE because CONFIG_PREEMPT depends on
the preemption mode choice wich defaults to NONE. This also affects
oldconfig builds.
So rather than changing 114 defconfig files and being an annoyance to
users, revert the rename and select a new config symbol PREEMPTION. That
keeps everything working smoothly and the revelant ifdef's are going to be
fixed up step by step.

|
This is the traditional Linux preemption model, geared towards
|
|
throughput. It will still provide good latencies most of the
|
|
time, but there are no guarantees and occasional longer delays
|
|
are possible.
|
|
|
|
Select this option if you are building a kernel for a server or
|
|
scientific/computation system, or if you want to maximize the
|
|
raw processing power of the kernel, irrespective of scheduling
|
|
latencies.

|
help
|
|
This option reduces the latency of the kernel by adding more
|
|
"explicit preemption points" to the kernel code. These new
|
|
preemption points have been selected to reduce the maximum
|
|
latency of rescheduling, providing faster application reactions,
|
|
at the cost of slightly lower throughput.
|
|
|
|
This allows reaction to interactive events by allowing a
|
|
low priority process to voluntarily preempt itself even if it
|
|
is in kernel mode executing a system call. This allows
|
|
applications to run more 'smoothly' even when the system is
|
|
under load.
|
|
|

Select this if you are building a kernel for a desktop system.

|
|
This option reduces the latency of the kernel by making
|
|
all kernel code (that is not executing in a critical section)
|
|
preemptible. This allows reaction to interactive events by
|
|
permitting a low priority process to be preempted involuntarily
|
|
even if it is in kernel mode executing a system call and would
|
|
otherwise not be about to reach a natural preemption point.
|
|
This allows applications to run more 'smoothly' even when the
|
|
system is under load, at the cost of slightly lower throughput
|
|
and a slight runtime overhead to kernel code.

Select this if you are building a kernel for a desktop or

embedded system with latency requirements in the milliseconds

range.

|
help
|
|
This option turns the kernel into a real-time kernel by replacing
|
|
various locking primitives (spinlocks, rwlocks, etc.) with
|
|
preemptible priority-inheritance aware variants, enforcing
|
|
interrupt threading and introducing mechanisms to break up long
|
|
non-preemptible sections. This makes the kernel, except for very
|
|
low level and critical code pathes (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.
