We are pleased to announce the 2.6.24.7-rt15 tree, which can be downloaded from the location: http://rt.et.redhat.com/download/ Information on the RT patch can be found at: http://rt.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Main_Page This is a rather large update on top of 2.6.24.7-rt14: - add support for m68knommu (Sebastian Siewior) Don't be scared about the size of the patch. It contains a lot of changes in the m68knommu code which are on the way to upstream already, but we want to make the new -rt arch available for testing right away. - Various general mainline bugfixes collected by Clark Williams - mm fix race in COW logic (Nick Piggin) - Various hrtimer/nohz bugfix backports (tglx) - command line option to supply the acpi pmtimer port (tglx) - rtmutex debug fix (John Stultz) - CPU hotplug fixes (Peter Zijlstra) - rt rwlock locking fixes (Steven Rostedt) - ftrace function pointer fix (Josh Triplett) - RCU memory barrier fix (Paul McKenney) - scheduler: round robin time slice fix (Miao Xie) - frace: preempt trace fix (Steven Rostedt) - scheduler: SCHED_FIFO spec violation fix (Peter Zijlstra, Darren Hart) - PPC64 fixes (Chirag Jog, Sebastian Dugue) - load average calculation fix (Michal Schmidt) - ftrace: do not wakeup the waitqueue when interrupts disabled (tglx) - ACPI: fix reschedule checks (tglx) - smp boot hotplug fix (Peter Zijlstra) - scheduler: Fix race of dequeued SCHED_RR task against timer interrupt (tglx) to build a 2.6.24.7-rt14 tree, the following patches should be applied: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.24.tar.bz2 http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/patch-2.6.24.7.bz2 http://rt.et.redhat.com/download/patch-2.6.24.7-rt15.bz2 And like always, Steven's RT version of Matt Mackall's ketchup will get this for you nicely: http://people.redhat.com/srostedt/rt/tools/ketchup-0.9.8-rt3 As usual the broken out patches are also available. I have a backport of the powerpc ftrace code in the pipeline, which I plan to release in the next days. That should allow us to sort out the MPC5200 issue which was reported by Wolfgang et al. We tested on a MPC8544 with no sign of strange latencies, so this seems to be a MPC5200 specific problem. Stay tuned, I'll have a 5200 board in my hands hopefully tomorrow morning.
