PREEMPT_RT systems have long used the rcutree.use_softirq kernel boot parameter to avoid use of RCU_SOFTIRQ handlers, which can disrupt real-time applications by invoking callbacks during return from interrupts that arrived while executing time-critical code. This kernel boot parameter instead runs RCU core processing in an 'rcuc' kthread, thus allowing the scheduler to do its job of avoiding disrupting time-critical code. This commit therefore disables the rcutree.use_softirq kernel boot parameter on PREEMPT_RT systems, thus forcing such systems to do RCU core processing in 'rcuc' kthreads. This approach has long been in use by users of the -rt patchset, and there have been no complaints. There is therefore no way for the system administrator to override this choice, at least without modifying and rebuilding the kernel.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
