>Description:
preempt(9) describes an old version of the function, with a (to my
limited understanding) rather different functionality from the current
one. Note that the comment before the function definition (in
sys/kern/kern_synch.c) is wrong too.

man 9 preempt

void
preempt(struct proc *p);
where the source says
void
preempt(int more)
