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.

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,
|
2007-05-09 13:12:20 +08:00
|
|
|
at the cost of slightly lower throughput.
|
2005-06-26 05:57:39 +08:00

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

2005-06-26 05:57:36 +08:00
|
|

under load.

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

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.
