Ingo, I get the following compile error when using your patch realtime-preempt-2.6.12-final-V0.7.51-33 on a x86_64 SMP system.
arch/x86_64/kernel/smpboot.c: 191: error: section of 'tsc_sync_lock' conflicts with previous declaration. It compiles fine if I don't set CONFIG_SMP=y, but then I can only use one processor of my SMP system (not ideal). Maybe you could find time to squash this bug. Cheers, Steve Wooding. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
