3.18.36-rt38-rc1 stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior There is no reason to limit the TWD to be used on SMP kernels only if the hardware has it available. On Wandboard i.MX6SOLO, running PREEMPT-RT and cyclictest I see as max immediately after start in idle: UP : ~90us SMP: ~50us UP + TWD: ~20us. Based on this numbers I prefer the TWD over the slightly slower MXC timer.
