On a new gentoo system, it run fine with a kernel base3d on the last gentoo-sources and genkernel, but with the rt-sources and genkernel, it just freeze. When this occur, 2 things are still working: the mouse cursor move but do nothing and the power button reset the computer when I press it during 5 seconds.

Which imply I have no clue about what to do in orde5r to debug this issue. I try to remove the cgroups from the rt-sources, that in order to only have 1 system to manage the rt priorities, that implied to remove elogind and install xorg-server with suid root. That changed nothing.

The sytem use startx to start fvwm with the fvwm-crystal themes. All is working fine until I start some windows like the files dialog of software like picpuz or the preferences window of glade. When doing so, the result is not systematic but occur very often: complete system freeze.

Code:

You need apparently
Code:

CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT_FULL=y


in your .config
OR
in make menuconfig navigate to and enable
Code:

Processor type and features -> Preemption Model -> Fully Preemptible Kernel (RT)

I know, it's done. The problem is not the premption but complete system freezes. I changed some options in grub.cfg and into the system, and with the time being, I am not able to reproduce that issue anymore. So maybe that is solved. For reference, I put here what I have done in chronological order:

Code:
# /etc/default/grub.cfg
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="isolcpus=1-7 nohz_full=1-7 rcu_nocbs=1-7 nowatchdog acpi_irq_nobalance"


Code:
# /etc/sysctl.d/local.conf
vm.swappiness = 10
dev.rtc.max-user-freq=3072
dev.hpet.max-user-freq=3072
fs.inotify.max_user_watches=524288


Code:
# /root/bin/tune_rt
# I run it before login as user
#!/bin/bash
# move non-rt irqs to core 0
for i in 1 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 41
do
  echo 1 >/proc/irq/$i/smp_affinity
done

#move rt irqs to core 1 (here audio irq =17 and irq = 40)
echo 2 >/proc/irq/17/smp_affinity
echo 2 >/proc/irq/40/smp_affinity

#disable rt throttling
echo -1 >/proc/sys/kernel/sched_rt_runtime_us
# disable smt
echo off > /sys/devices/system/cpu/smt/control


For what I can get from the test I made, it is to disable smt that solved that issue.
