Summary:
- After 20 years of development, real-time Linux has been officially merged into the Linux kernel, enabling more precise timing and control for time-critical applications.
- The real-time Linux patches, known as PREEMPT_RT, have been integrated into the mainline Linux kernel, providing a stable and reliable real-time environment for industrial, robotics, and other applications that require deterministic behavior.
- The integration of real-time Linux into the kernel is a significant milestone, as it allows for better integration with the broader Linux ecosystem and simplifies the deployment of real-time systems.
