Real-Time Linux: Implications and Best Practices for Kernel Developers

Real-Time Linux: Implications and Best Practices for Kernel Developers

Explore the implications of Real Time Linux in this informative conference talk by Steven Rostedt from VMware. Delve into the history of the Real Time patch, its development since 2004, and the recent efforts to integrate it into the mainline kernel. Learn about the challenges overcome and the responsibilities this integration will place on kernel developers. Discover how being real-time friendly can lead to cleaner, more maintainable code, and gain valuable programming tips applicable even beyond Real Time Linux. Benefit from Rostedt's expertise as one of the original developers of the PREEMPT_RT patch, maintainer of the v4.14-rt stable branch, and creator of Ftrace, the official Linux kernel tracer.
