It would be nice to warn if a new line is missing at end of file. We could do this by checkpatch.pl for arbitrary files, but new line is rather essential as a statement terminator in Kconfig. The warning message looks like this: kernel/Kconfig.preempt:60:warning: no new line at end of file Currently, kernel/Kconfig.preempt is the only file with no new line at end of file. Fix it. I know there are some false negative cases. For example, no warning is displayed when the last line contains some whitespaces/comments, but no new line. Yet, this commit works well for most cases.

This is the traditional Linux preemption model, geared towards
|
|
throughput. It will still provide good latencies most of the
|
|
time, but there are no guarantees and occasional longer delays
|
|
are possible.
|
|
|
|
Select this option if you are building a kernel for a server or
|
|
scientific/computation system, or if you want to maximize the
|
|
raw processing power of the kernel, irrespective of scheduling
|
|
latencies.

|
|
This option reduces the latency of the kernel by adding more
|
|
"explicit preemption points" to the kernel code. These new
|
|
preemption points have been selected to reduce the maximum
|
|
latency of rescheduling, providing faster application reactions,
|
|
at the cost of slightly lower throughput.
|
|
|
|
This allows reaction to interactive events by allowing a
|
|
low priority process to voluntarily preempt itself even if it
|
|
is in kernel mode executing a system call. This allows
|
|
applications to run more 'smoothly' even when the system is
|
|
under load.
|
|
|
|
Select this if you are building a kernel for a desktop system.

|
|
This option reduces the latency of the kernel by making
|
|
all kernel code (that is not executing in a critical section)
|
|
preemptible. This allows reaction to interactive events by
|
|
permitting a low priority process to be preempted involuntarily
|
|
even if it is in kernel mode executing a system call and would
|
|
otherwise not be about to reach a natural preemption point.
|
|
This allows applications to run more 'smoothly' even when the
|
|
system is under load, at the cost of slightly lower throughput
|
|
and a slight runtime overhead to kernel code.
|
|
|
|
Select this if you are building a kernel for a desktop or
|
|
embedded system with latency requirements in the milliseconds
|
|
range.
