+testing/packages/linux-5.14.x/kernel-source-5.14.14-noarch-2.txz: Rebuilt.
+ These kernels enable CONFIG_PREEMPT=y and CONFIG_PREEMPT_DYNAMIC=y allowing
+ the kernel preemption model to be specified on the kernel command line
+ with one of these options: preempt=none, preempt=voluntary, and preempt=full.
+ Since there is no .config option to set a default, and the default in the
+ kernel sources is "full" (which is probably not a good default), the
+ kernel-source.SlackBuild has been modified to add support for an environment
+ variable CONFIG_PREEMPT_DEFAULT_MODE which can be set to none, voluntary, or
+ full to set the default kernel preemption model when a command line option
+ is not provided. These kernels have been built with a preemption model of
+ "none" (presumably the safest choice which will behave like the kernels we
+ have shipped before.) The runtime overhead on 64-bit should be negligible.
+ On 32-bit we lack support for HAVE_STATIC_CALL_INLINE, so spinlocks and
+ mutexes will have to be approached through a trampoline, adding a very small
+ amount of overhead. I feel this is probably worth it in order to have the
+ option to run a kernel with voluntary or full preemption, especially for
+ gaming or desktop purposes. The reduction in input lag with these modes is
+ actually quite noticable.
+ To check the current preemption model, you may use debugfs:
+ mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug
+ cat /sys/kernel/debug/sched/preempt
+ (none) voluntary full
+ You may change to a different preemption model on the fly once debugfs is
+ mounted:
+ echo voluntary > /sys/kernel/debug/sched/preempt
+ cat /sys/kernel/debug/sched/preempt
+ none (voluntary) full
+ Thanks to Daedra.
