From: Ingo Molnar Date: Sat, 25 Jun 2005 21:57:36 +0000 (-0700) Subject: [PATCH] consolidate PREEMPT options into kernel/Kconfig.preempt X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=cc19ca86a023fcd552c78e77a7be6ce271f92a28;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_samsung_universal7580.git [PATCH] consolidate PREEMPT options into kernel/Kconfig.preempt This patch consolidates the CONFIG_PREEMPT and CONFIG_PREEMPT_BKL preemption options into kernel/Kconfig.preempt. This, besides reducing source-code, also enables more centralized tweaking of preemption related options.
