| - | * **Preemptible Kernel (Basic RT):** This preemption model resembles the "Preemptible Kernel (Low-Latency Desktop)" model. Besides the properties mentioned above, threaded interrupt handlers are forced (as when using the kernel command line parameter ''threadirqs''). This model is mainly used for testing and debugging of substitution mechanisms implemented by the PREEMPT_RT patch. | + | * **Preemptible Kernel (Basic RT)** – resembles the "Preemptible Kernel (Low-Latency Desktop)" model.

| - | * **[[realtime:documentation:technical_details:start|Fully Preemptible Kernel (RT)]]:** All kernel code is preemptible except for a few selected critical sections. Threaded interrupt handlers are forced. Furthermore several substitution mechanisms like sleeping spinlocks and rt_mutex are implemented to reduce preemption disabled sections. Additionally, large preemption disabled sections are substituted by separate locking constructs. This preemption model has to be selected in order to obtain real-time behavior. | + | * **[[realtime:documentation:technical_details:start|Fully Preemptible Kernel (RT)]]** – all kernel code is preemptible except for a few selected critical sections.
