210config PREEMPT
211 bool "Preemptible Kernel"
212 ---help---
213 This option reduces the latency of the kernel when reacting to
214 real-time or interactive events by allowing a low priority process to
215 be preempted even if it is in kernel mode executing a system call.
216 This allows applications to run more reliably even when the system is
217 under load. On contrary it may also break your drivers and add
218 priority inheritance problems to your system. Don't select it if
219 you rely on a stable system or have slightly obscure hardware.
220 It's also not very well tested on x86-64 currently.
221 You have been warned.
