Subject: [PATCH] Documentation: update config name in real-time architecture support
Date: Wed, 10 Sep 2025 10:58:59 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250910085859.47818-1-lukas.bulwahn@redhat.com> (raw)

From: Lukas Bulwahn <lukas.bulwahn@redhat.com>

Commit 14ec35ff5786 ("entry: Rename "kvm" entry code assets to "virt" to
genericize APIs") renames the config KVM_XFER_TO_GUEST_WORK to
VIRT_XFER_TO_GUEST_WORK. In a concurrent development work with commit
f51fe3b7e48c ("Documentation: Add real-time to core-api"), the
documentation on making an architecture support PREEMPT_RT has been
included referring to this config with its previous name.

Adjust the documentation to the current situation, and specifically
refer to the new name of the config.

Fixes: f51fe3b7e48c ("Documentation: Add real-time to core-api")

   POSIX CPU timers must expire from thread context rather than directly within
   the timer interrupt. This behavior is enabled by setting the configuration
   option CONFIG_HAVE_POSIX_CPU_TIMERS_TASK_WORK.
