Subject: [GIT pull] sched/urgent for 5.3-rc2

Linus,

please pull the latest sched-urgent-for-linus git tree from:

   git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git sched-urgent-for-linus

up to:  b8d3349803ba: sched/rt, Kconfig: Unbreak def/oldconfig with CONFIG_PREEMPT=y

The PREEMPT_RT stub config renamed PREEMPT to PREEMPT_LL and defined
PREEMPT outside of the menu and made it selectable by both PREEMPT_LL and
PREEMPT_RT.

Stupid me missed that 114 defconfigs select CONFIG_PREEMPT which obviously
can't work anymore. oldconfig builds are affected as well, but it's more
obvious as the user gets asked. [old]defconfig silently fixes it up and
selects PREEMPT_NONE. Unbreak it by undoing the rename and adding a
intermediate config symbol which is selected by both PREEMPT and
PREEMPT_RT. That requires to chase down a few #ifdefs, but it's better than
tweaking 114 defconfigs and annoying users.

Sorry for the inconveniance.

Thanks,

	tglx
