[PATCH v3 0/4] preempt: PREEMPT vs PREEMPT_DYNAMIC configs fixup

From: Valentin Schneider
Date: Fri Nov 12 2021 - 13:52:35 EST


Hi folks,

This v3 is mostly about the naming problem - get your paintbrushes ready!

Patches
=======

o Patch 1 is the meat of the topic - note that it's now in tip/sched/urgent
o Patch 2 introduces helpers for the dynamic preempt state
o Patches 3-4 make use of said accessors where relevant.

Testing
=======

Briefly tested the dynamic part on an x86 kernel + QEMU.
Compile-tested the kcsan test thingie as a module.

Revisions
=========

v1: http://lore.kernel.org/r/20211105104035.3112162-1-valentin.schneider@xxxxxxx
v1.5: http://lore.kernel.org/r/20211109151057.3489223-1-valentin.schneider@xxxxxxx

v2 -> v3
++++++++

o Turned is_preempt_*() into preempt_model_*() (Frederic)
It breaks my rule of "booleans must answer a yes/no question" but is the best
I could come with using a "preempt_" prefix

o Added preempt_model_preemptible() (Marco)
Now used in kcsan_test.c

o Dropped powerpc changes

Cheers,
Valentin
