Subject: [PATCH v6 0/1] Documentation: Add real-time kernel configuration guide
Date: Tue, 4 Aug 2026 16:15:39 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260804141541.747704-1-darwi@linutronix.de> (raw)
Hi,
There is a no "one size fits all" solution for configuring a PREEMPT_RT
kernel.
Intorduce a PREEMPT_RT kernel configuration guide to better help system
developers and integrators.
Changelog v6
------------
Handle Sashiko review; minor typographical issue.
Changelog v5
------------
https://msgid.link/20260804133746.744212-1-darwi@linutronix.de
Handle Sebastian remarks:
- Reference other documents as Jonathan prefers; i.e., no :doc: tags.
- Coalesce the CPU frequency governors text, and the tracing text.
- Add might_sleep() note to CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP.
- Mention debugfs only as "allowed".
- Mention CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE.
- Do not mention DEBUG_INFO as it's not selectable; mention the
CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO* selectable variants.
Changelog v4
------------
https://msgid.link/20260716195716.256025-1-darwi@linutronix.de
Handle Sashiko review: Remove a no-longer-referenced link. Remove
CONFIG_WQ_SYS reference, which I thought it exists due to a quick
misunderstanding of core-api/workqueue.
Changelog v3
------------
https://msgid.link/20260715150147.225715-1-darwi@linutronix.de
CONFIG_EFI_DISABLE_RUNTIME: Mention that system integrators can now assign
the efi_runtime workqueue CPU affinity, then safely pin RT tasks on a
different CPU range. This is due to:
https://msgid.link/20260227170103.4042157-1-bigeasy@linutronix.de
now being merged mainline.
Changelog v2
------------
https://msgid.link/20260414174159.1271171-1-darwi@linutronix.de
Handle Rostedt remarks:
- Better reword certain paragraphs and statements
- Warn about enabling CONFIG_IRQSOFF_TRACER and CONFIG_PREEMPT_TRACER
Handle Wilcox remarks:
- Remove ToC comment + minor rewording
Changelog v1
------------
