We have no control over what your distribution puts into your bootloader’s configuration file. Since the base version of LITMUS^RT 2016.1 is Linux 4.1.3, it stands to reason that this is actually the LITMUS^RT kernel.

You are running a LITMUS^RT kernel. These files exist only under LITMUS^RT, and not under vanilla Linux. So it looks like you are good to go.

I’ve never tried LITMUS^RT in VMWare, but it should probably work. All measurements will of course be bogus due to the virtualization overhead.

We’d happily consider any contributions.
