PREEMPT_RT needs to hand a special state into __schedule() when a task blocks on a 'sleeping' spin/rwlock. This is required to handle rcu_note_context_switch() correctly without having special casing in the RCU code. From an RCU point of view the blocking on the sleeping spinlock is equivalent to preemption, because the task might be in a read side critical section. schedule_debug() also has a check which would trigger with the !preempt case, but that could be handled differently. To avoid adding another argument and extra checks which cannot be optimized out by the compiler, the following solution has been chosen: - Replace the boolean 'preempt' argument with an unsigned integer 'sched_mode' argument and define constants to hand in: (0 == no preemption, 1 = preemption). - Add two masks to apply on that mode: one for the debug/rcu invocations, and one for the actual scheduling decision. For a non RT kernel these masks are UINT_MAX, i.e. all bits are set, which allows the compiler to optimize the AND operation out, because it is not masking out anything. IOW, it's not different from the boolean. RT enabled kernels will define these masks separately. No functional change.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
