Summary : A preemptible Linux kernel, which reduces the latency of the kernel.
|
Description :
This kernel includes patches useful for multmedia purposes like: preemption, low-latency and the ability for processes to transfer their capabilities. In addition the O(1) scheduler from Ingo Molnar is included. The preemtion patches allow a task to be preempted anywhere within the kernel, using spinlocks as markers for non-preemptibility regions. The resulting system response is greatly increased, with measured average latencies under 1ms. Andrew Morton\'s low-latency patches fix the remaining points in the kernel that cause latency. The setpcap patch allows processes with root rights to transfer capabilities to non-root processes, and so making it possible for user processes to run with realtime priority.
