Subject: [PATCH 0/5] sched: dynamic: Simplify PREEMPT_DYNAMIC
Date: Fri, 3 Jul 2026 14:33:53 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260703133358.698078-1-mark.rutland@arm.com> (raw)
All architectures which currently suppoort PREEMPT_DYNAMIC select
ARCH_HAS_PREEMPT_LAZY. On architectures which select
ARCH_HAS_PREEMPT_LAZY, it has not been possible to select the NONE and
VOLUNTARY preemption models since v7.0 due to commit:
7dadeaa6e851 ("sched: Further restrict the preemption modes")
Hence in practice PREEMPT_DYNAMIC no longer supports the NONE or
VOLUNTARY preemption models.
This series makes the de-facto situation official by making
PREEMPT_DYNAMIC depend on ARCH_HAS_PREEMPT_LAZY, and removing all the
redundant code.
For x86_64 v7.2-rc1 defconfig built with GCC 10.2.1, this makes the
bzImage 28K smaller, mostly due to removing NOPs that will never be
patched to {cond,might}_resched() at runtime:
[mark@lakrids:~/src/linux]% ls -al vmlinux-*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 mark mark 53844952 Jul 3 14:09 vmlinux-after
-rwxr-xr-x 1 mark mark 53842856 Jul 3 14:09 vmlinux-before
[mark@lakrids:~/src/linux]% ls -al bzImage-*
-rw-r--r-- 1 mark mark 14771200 Jul 3 14:09 bzImage-after
-rw-r--r-- 1 mark mark 14799872 Jul 3 14:08 bzImage-before
Mark.
