Hi Krishna,

Are you looking for documentation or source?

Ingo Molnar maintains the current -rt patch set that makes the vanilla
linux kernel real-time.

You can get the source from here:

http://people.redhat.com/mingo/realtime-preempt/

Or if you have the latest version of ketchup you can just do the following
in a empty directory:

$ ketchup 2.6.16-rt20

Which would bring you upto the current latest of the patch (as of this
email).
