From a50a3f4b6a313dc76912bd4ad3b8b4f4b479c801 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Gleixner Date: Wed, 17 Jul 2019 22:01:49 +0200 Subject: sched/rt, Kconfig: Introduce CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT Add a new entry to the preemption menu which enables the real-time support for the kernel. The choice is only enabled when an architecture supports it. It selects PREEMPT as the RT features depend on it. To achieve that the existing PREEMPT choice is renamed to PREEMPT_LL which select PREEMPT as well. No functional change. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner Acked-by: Paul E.
