On my device reading entirety of /sys/devices/pnp0/00:03/cmos_nvram0/nvmem takes about 9 msec during which time interrupts are off on the CPU that does the read and the thread that performs the read can not be migrated or preempted by another higher priority thread (RT or not). Allow readers and writers be preempted by taking and releasing rtc_lock spinlock for each individual byte read or written rather than once per read/write request.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
