LoongArch Wires Up Real-Time Kernel Support & Lazy Preemption


Merged for the Linux 6.12 kernel was the long-awaited real-time 'PREEMPT_RT' kernel support and allowing it to be enabled across x86/x86_64, ARM64, and RISC-V CPU architectures

All of the LoongArch architecture updates were sent out overnight for the ongoing Linux 6.13 kernel merge window. This lazy preemption mode is new to Linux 6.13 and LoongArch is ready to go with allowing it to be supported too. Other LoongArch changes for Linux 6.13 include addressing a build failure using the in-development GCC 15 compiler, I2S support being enabled in the DTS file for the Loongson-2K1000/Loongson-2K2000, and other small changes.
