Bug#719547: linux: provide a PREEMPT_RT kernel image for non-x86 architectures
Tue, 13 Aug 2013, 2:27 +02:00 from Ben Hutchings: If there is some platform where you think this would be particularly useful, please specify which. AFAIK, ARM (armhf?) is currently a most prospective architecture; the package name would be smth. like linux-image-x.y-n-rt-armmp. We're not going to double the number of kernel images by adding rt to everything. In the initial bug report messag, I agreed with that: // Probably it's just better to wait until that patchset gets completely merged with the main kernel tree :) Best wishes, Bob

In the initial bug report messag, I agreed with that: // Probably it's just better to wait until that patchset gets completely merged with the main kernel tree :) PREEMPT_RT is still a compile-time option and probably always will be. So that won't reduce the number of binary packages required. I'd be happy to add an (armhf, rt, armmp) configuration if the ARM porters are also happy with doing this. I believe the PREEMPT_RT patch set is quite well tested and supported on ARM.
