From cc19ca86a023fcd552c78e77a7be6ce271f92a28 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ingo Molnar Date: Sat, 25 Jun 2005 14:57:36 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] consolidate PREEMPT options into kernel/Kconfig.preempt This patch consolidates the CONFIG_PREEMPT and CONFIG_PREEMPT_BKL preemption options into kernel/Kconfig.preempt. This, besides reducing source-code, also enables more centralized tweaking of preemption related options.
