Summary

This specification details the plan to add hard real time support in Ubuntu.

Rationale

In some contexts (i.e. industrial automation, robotics and telco) the low-latency support is insufficient. In order to push Ubuntu in these contexts is necessary the support for high resolution timers and the full preemption in the Linux kernel. These features have been implemented by Thomas Gleixner and Ingo Molnar (http://people.redhat.com/mingo/realtime-preempt/).

We want also a valid FLOSS alternative to SLERT (http://www.novell.com/products/realtime/).

Use cases

Alex is developing an application software (SCADA type) for a customer and he would be very happy to use Linux and Ubuntu for the deployment.

Scope

This specification cover the linux kernel in Ubuntu.

Design

Implementation

We hope to add a linux-image-realtime package in universe repositary (the same place of the linux-image-lowlatency package).

Code

Data preservation and migration

Unresolved issues
