Hi!
Does the preemptible RCU implementation have better performance (lower
latency?) than the classic RCU implementation on embedded uniprocessor
systems? I can't find any information about this in Documentation/.
Regards,

I would expect that you would get the best latencies on UP by using
the -rt patchset and preemptible RCU. I don't know that anyone has
carefully measured the combination of vanilla CONFIG_PREEMPT kernel
and preemptible RCU on UP.
