+config PREEMPT_NONE
+ bool "No Forced Preemption (Server)"
+ help
+ This is the traditional Linux preemption model, geared towards
+ throughput. It will still provide good latencies most of the
+ time, but there are no guarantees and occasional longer delays
+ are possible.
+
+ Select this option if you are building a kernel for a server or
+ scientific/computation system, or if you want to maximize the
+ raw processing power of the kernel, irrespective of scheduling
+ latencies.
+
+config PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY
+ bool "Voluntary Kernel Preemption (Desktop)"
+ help
+ This option reduces the latency of the kernel by adding more
+ "explicit preemption points" to the kernel code. These new
+ preemption points have been selected to reduce the maximum
+ latency of rescheduling, providing faster application reactions,
+ at the cost of slightly lower throughput.
+
+ This allows reaction to interactive events by allowing a
+ low priority process to voluntarily preempt itself even if it
+ is in kernel mode executing a system call. This allows
+ applications to run more 'smoothly' even when the system is
+ under load.
+
+ Select this if you are building a kernel for a desktop system.

+ select PREEMPT
+ select UNINLINE_SPIN_UNLOCK if !ARCH_INLINE_SPIN_UNLOCK
+ help
+ This option reduces the latency of the kernel by making
+ all kernel code (that is not executing in a critical section)
+ preemptible. This allows reaction to interactive events by
+ permitting a low priority process to be preempted involuntarily
+ even if it is in kernel mode executing a system call and would
+ otherwise not be about to reach a natural preemption point.
+ This allows applications to run more 'smoothly' even when the
+ system is under load, at the cost of slightly lower throughput
+ and a slight runtime overhead to kernel code.
+
+ Select this if you are building a kernel for a desktop or
+ embedded system with latency requirements in the milliseconds
+ range.
+
+config PREEMPT_RTB

+ help
+ This option is basically the same as (Low-Latency Desktop) but

+ RT kernel.
