On my PC, rtcqs shows me that the kernel is not Tickless (CONFIG_NO_HZ).

Tickless Kernel
===
[ WARNING ] Tickless timer support is not not set. Try enabling tickless timer 
support (CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE, or CONFIG_NO_HZ in older kernels)

Thanks for the LWN reference. I think I missed that article. I plan to
install the newest kernel in Trixie, then run the rtcqs script (
https://codeberg.org/rtcqs/rtcqs) to see how it looks for audio processing.
Based on that, I may still try to install a fully preemptible kernel from
source.

Quoting a recent article from LWN [1]

   PREEMPT_DYNAMIC, was added to the 5.12 kernel by Michal Hocko in
   2021. It allows the preemption choice to be deferred until boot
   time, where any of the modes except PREEMPT_RT can be selected by
   the preempt= command-line parameter. PREEMPT_DYNAMIC allows
   distributors to ship a single kernel while letting users pick the
   preemption mode that works best for their workload. 

So if you specificity need a real-time kernel this won't give it to
you.

Thank you, Gilles. I'll install it and see if it works for me. I'm curious
what the rtcqs script will tell me about it after I install it.

Hello, I also was looking for it, but I've seen that the standard kernel seems 
to have some preemptive patch (dynamic ?) :

So I think the kernel packagers think it's sufficient ?

Sorry, in Debian world I'm looking for 'linux-image-6.5.0-4-rt-[. . .]' but
it would be 6.5.10.

No 6.5.10-4 realtime kernel?

2023-11-12 Thread Scott Denlinger
Does anyone know why there are no stock realtime kernels in trixie/sid? I
currently have 'linux-image-6.5.0-1-rt-amd64-unsigned' installed, but I
don't see any newer RT kernels available.
