The +script takes advantage of the fact that the kernel can use threads for +IRQs management, and as such these threads (like any other thread running +on your system) can be given maximum priority in an effort to minimize +the latency of audio peripherals. + +Modern kernels (3.0 and newer) incorporate IRQ threads, so there's no +need for a patched kernel on Slackware 14.0 or newer. Older systems +would need the realtime kernel patch. + +The script is installed as /etc/rc.d/rc.rtirq. To actually run it at +boot time, add code like this to /etc/rc.d/rc.local: + +if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.rtirq ]; then + /etc/rc.d/rc.rtirq start +fi + +The script can be disabled with "chmod -x /etc/rc.d/rc.rtirq". + +To enable IRQ threads, the option 'append="threadirqs"' needs to be +added to the kernel section in /etc/lilo.conf. Example: + +# Linux bootable partition config begins +image = /boot/vmlinuz-huge-3.10.17 + root = /dev/sda1 + label = Linux + append = "threadirqs" + read-only +# Linux bootable partition config ends + +If there's already an 'append', add a space and 'threadirqs', like so: + append = "noapic acpi=off threadirqs" + +Don't forget to run lilo after editing lilo.conf. The threadirqs option +will take effect on the next reboot. diff --git a/system/rtirq/doinst.sh b/system/rtirq/doinst.sh new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..2fdb8dddd1 --- /dev/null +++ b/system/rtirq/doinst.sh @@ -0,0 +1,14 @@ +config() { + NEW="$1" + OLD="$(dirname $NEW)/$(basename $NEW .new)" + # If there's no config file by that name, mv it over: + if [ ! -r $OLD ]; then + mv $NEW $OLD + elif [ "$(cat $OLD | md5sum)" = "$(cat $NEW | md5sum)" ]; then + # toss the redundant copy + rm $NEW + fi + # Otherwise, we leave the .new copy for the admin to consider... +} + +config etc/rtirq.conf.new diff --git a/system/rtirq/rtirq.SlackBuild b/system/rtirq/rtirq.SlackBuild new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..75b39e20f4 --- /dev/null +++ b/system/rtirq/rtirq.SlackBuild @@ -0,0 +1,73 @@ +#!/bin/sh + +# Slackware build script for rtirq + +# Written by B.
