Revert commit bf9ad37dc8. It needs to be better encapsulated and
generalized.

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.

help
|
|
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.
|

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 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.

|
|
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. When enabled -- see
|
|
prctl(PR_SCHED_CORE) -- task selection ensures that all SMT siblings
|
|
will execute a task from the same 'core group', forcing idle when no
|
|
matching task is found.
|
|
|
|
Use of this feature includes:
|
|
- mitigation of some (not all) SMT side channels;
|
|
- limiting SMT interference to improve determinism and/or performance.
|
|
|
|
SCHED_CORE is default disabled. When it is enabled and unused,
|
|
which is the likely usage by Linux distributions, there should
|
|
be no measurable impact on performance.
