Is the wiki in a decently up to date state on this
stuff?
I think all the steps he mentioned are in the wiki. But it's a bad idea
to expect any realtime preempt related site to be accurate. It changes
too fast. If you set out to document every single feature, by the time
you finished, half the doc would be obsolete. Then by the time you get
up to speed on the changes since you started the docs, 75% of your doc
would now be obsolete. Etc. Better off just spending your time testing
and writing code, to get the damn thing finished faster.
Once realtime preempt is in the Linus kernel, then it might be a good
idea to document it, because at that point they are at least committed
to keeping the userspace API stable.
