Hello. I need some help or maybe just advice of right use of 
realtime-kernel. We are(company where i work) now developing PLC based 
on Variscite VAR-SOM-AM33 processor 
module(http://www.variscite.com/products/system-on-module-som/cortex-a8/var-som-am33-cpu-ti-am335x-am3354-am3352). 
Variscite provides it with kernel version 3.12. I've patched it with 
patch-3.12.10-rt15 and chose Full Preemptible Kernel(RT) preemption model.
As result when i run cyclictest(like said in wiki - 
https://rt.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Cyclictest) with no other load in 
system, i've got following results:
cyclictest -t1 -p 80 -n -i 10000 -l 10000
System without RT-patch:
T: 0 ( 1399) P:80 I:10000 C:  10000 Min:     35 Act:   69 Avg:   63 Max: 
     247
System with RT-patch:
T: 0 ( 1534) P:80 I:10000 C:  10000 Min:     39 Act:   61 Avg:   61 Max: 
      91
So it works.

But when i enable load with codesyscontrol-system(about 80% CPU load), i 
have following results:
System without RT-patch:
T: 0 ( 1412) P:80 I:10000 C:  10000 Min:      8 Act:   16 Avg:   13 Max: 
     572
System with RT-patch:
T: 0 ( 1549) P:80 I:10000 C:  10000 Min:     11 Act:   14 Avg:   17 Max: 
    2492
Is it normal that max jitter in system with RT-patch more(almost 5x 
time) than in system without RT-patch, in this case?
Sorry, if this question silly. I've used only DOS-like(one-task) systems 
earlier and wrote firmwares with one task only in embedded systems, and 
Linux only on desktop and servers, without realtime.
Thanks, in advance.
