2.3 Basis for grouping tasks
----------------------------
-There are two compile-time settings for allocating CPU bandwidth. These are
-configured using the "Basis for grouping tasks" multiple choice menu under
-General setup > Group CPU Scheduler:
-
-a. CONFIG_USER_SCHED (aka "Basis for grouping tasks" = "user id")
-
-This lets you use the virtual files under
-"/sys/kernel/uids/<uid>/cpu_rt_runtime_us" to control he CPU time reserved for
-each user .

-The other option is:
-
-.o CONFIG_CGROUP_SCHED (aka "Basis for grouping tasks" = "Control groups")
+Enabling CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED lets you explicitly allocate real
+CPU bandwidth to task groups.
This uses the /cgroup virtual file system and
"/cgroup/<cgroup>/cpu.rt_runtime_us" to control the CPU time reserved for each
-control group instead.

For more information on working with control groups, you should read

The constraint on the period is that a subgroup must have a smaller or
equal period to its parent. But realistically its not very useful _yet_
