+.BR RLIMIT_RTTIME " (Since Linux 2.6.25)"
+Specifies a limit on the amount of CPU time that a process scheduled
+under a real-time scheduling policy may consume without making a blocking
+system call.
+For the purpose of this limit,
+each time a process makes a blocking system call,
+the count of its consumed CPU time is reset to zero.
+The CPU time count is not reset if the process continues trying to
+use the CPU but is preempted, its time slice expires, or it calls
+.BR sched_yield (2).
+
+Upon reaching the soft limit, the process is sent a
+.B SIGXCPU
+signal.
+If the process catches or ignores this signal and
+continues consuming CPU time, then
+.B SIGXCPU
+will be generated once each second until the hard limit is reached,
+at which point the process is sent a
+.B SIGKILL
+signal.
+
+The intended use of this limit is to stop a runaway
+real-time process from locking up the system.
