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.
