Pull module_init replacement part one from Paul Gortmaker: "Replace module_init with equivalent device_initcall in non modules. This series of commits converts non-modular code that is using the module_init() call to hook itself into the system to instead use device_initcall(). The conversion is a runtime no-op, since module_init actually becomes __initcall in the non-modular case, and that in turn gets mapped onto device_initcall. A couple files show a larger negative diffstat, representing ones that had a module_exit function that we remove here vs previously relying on the linker to dispose of it. We make this conversion now, so that we can relocate module_init from init.h into module.h in the future. The files changed here are just limited to those that would otherwise have to add module.h to obviously non-modular code, in order to avoid a compile fail, as testing has shown" * tag 'module_init-device_initcall-v4.1-rc8' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulg/linux: MIPS: don't use module_init in non-modular cobalt/mtd.c file drivers/leds: don't use module_init in non-modular leds-cobalt-raq.c cris: don't use module_init for non-modular core eeprom.c code tty/metag_da: Avoid module_init/module_exit in non-modular code drivers/clk: don't use module_init in clk-nomadik.c which is non-modular xtensa: don't use module_init for non-modular core network.c code sh: don't use module_init in non-modular psw.c code mn10300: don't use module_init in non-modular flash.c code parisc64: don't use module_init for non-modular core perf code parisc: don't use module_init for non-modular core pdc_cons code cris: don't use module_init for non-modular core intmem.c code ia64: don't use module_init in non-modular sim/simscsi.c code ia64: don't use module_init for non-modular core kernel/mca.c code arm: don't use module_init in non-modular mach-vexpress/spc.c code powerpc: don't use module_init in non-modular 83xx suspend code powerpc: use device_initcall for registering rtc devices x86: don't use module_init in non-modular devicetree.c code x86: don't use module_init in non-modular intel_mid_vrtc.c

Kconfig.preempt
choice
prompt "Preemption Model"
default PREEMPT_NONE
config PREEMPT_NONE
bool "No Forced Preemption (Server)"
help
This is the traditional Linux preemption model, geared towards
throughput. It will still provide good latencies most of the
time, but there are no guarantees and occasional longer delays
are possible.
Select this option if you are building a kernel for a server or
scientific/computation system, or if you want to maximize the
raw processing power of the kernel, irrespective of scheduling
latencies.
config PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY
bool "Voluntary Kernel Preemption (Desktop)"
help
This option reduces the latency of the kernel by adding more
"explicit preemption points" to the kernel code. These new
preemption points have been selected to reduce the maximum
latency of rescheduling, providing faster application reactions,
at the cost of slightly lower throughput.
This allows reaction to interactive events by allowing a
low priority process to voluntarily preempt itself even if it
is in kernel mode executing a system call. This allows
applications to run more 'smoothly' even when the system is
under load.
Select this if you are building a kernel for a desktop system.
config PREEMPT
bool "Preemptible Kernel (Low-Latency Desktop)"
select PREEMPT_COUNT
select UNINLINE_SPIN_UNLOCK if !ARCH_INLINE_SPIN_UNLOCK
help
This option reduces the latency of the kernel by making
all kernel code (that is not executing in a critical section)
preemptible. This allows reaction to interactive events by
permitting a low priority process to be preempted involuntarily
even if it is in kernel mode executing a system call and would
otherwise not be about to reach a natural preemption point.
This allows applications to run more 'smoothly' even when the
system is under load, at the cost of slightly lower throughput
and a slight runtime overhead to kernel code.
Select this if you are building a kernel for a desktop or
embedded system with latency requirements in the milliseconds
range.
