Description:
This kernel includes patches useful for multmedia purposes like:
preemption, low-latency and the ability for processes to transfer their
capabilities. In addition the O(1) scheduler from Ingo Molnar is included.
The preemtion patches allow a task to be preempted anywhere within the kernel,
using spinlocks as markers for non-preemptibility regions. The resulting
system response is greatly increased, with measured average latencies under
1ms. Andrew Morton's low-latency patches fix the remaining points in the kernel
that cause latency. The setpcap patch allows processes with root rights to
transfer capabilities to non-root processes, and so making it possible for
user processes to run with realtime priority.
