[PATCH 0/4] arm64: Support dynamic preemption

From: Frederic Weisbecker
Date: Mon Sep 20 2021 - 19:38:25 EST


Traditionally the preemption flavour was defined on Kconfig then fixed
in stone. Now with CONFIG_PREEMPT_DYNAMIC the users can overwrite that
on boot with the "preempt=" boot option (and also through debugfs but
that's a secret).

Linux distros can be particularly fond of this because it allows them
to rely on a single kernel image for all preemption flavours.

x86 was the only supported architecture so far but interests are
broader.

Thanks,
