Dear RT Folks, This is the RT stable review cycle of patch 3.2.68-rt99-rc1. Please scream at me if I messed something up. Please test the patches too. The -rc release will be uploaded to kernel.org and will be deleted when the final release is out. This is just a review release (or release candidate). The pre-releases will not be pushed to the git repository, only the final release is. If all goes well, this patch will be converted to the next main release on 3/16/2015. Enjoy, -- Steve To build 3.2.68-rt99-rc1 directly, the following patches should be applied: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.x/linux-3.2.tar.xz http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.x/patch-3.2.68.xz http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/3.2/patch-3.2.68-rt99-rc1.patch.xz You can also build from 3.2.68-rt98 by applying the incremental patch: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/3.2/incr/patch-3.2.68-rt98-rt99-rc1.patch.xz Changes from 3.2.68-rt98: --- Daniel Wagner (1): work-simple: Simple work queue implemenation Josh Cartwright (1): lockdep: selftest: fix warnings due to missing PREEMPT_RT conditionals Mike Galbraith (3): x86: UV: raw_spinlock conversion scheduling while atomic in cgroup code sunrpc: make svc_xprt_do_enqueue() use get_cpu_light() Sebastian Andrzej Siewior (3): gpio: omap: use raw locks for locking rt-mutex: avoid a NULL pointer dereference on deadlock arm/futex: disable preemption during futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() Steven Rostedt (1): create-rt-enqueue Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) (1): Linux 3.2.68-rt99-rc1 Thomas Gleixner (14): rtmutex: Simplify rtmutex_slowtrylock() rtmutex: Simplify and document try_to_take_rtmutex() rtmutex: No need to keep task ref for lock owner check rtmutex: Clarify the boost/deboost part rtmutex: Document pi chain walk rtmutex: Simplify remove_waiter() rtmutex: Confine deadlock logic to futex rtmutex: Cleanup deadlock detector debug logic rtmutex: Avoid pointless requeueing in the deadlock detection chain walk futex: Make unlock_pi more robust futex: Use futex_top_waiter() in lookup_pi_state() futex: Split out the waiter check from lookup_pi_state() futex: Split out the first waiter attachment from lookup_pi_state() futex: Simplify futex_lock_pi_atomic() and make it more robust Yadi.hu (1): ARM: enable irq in translation/section permission fault handlers ---- arch/arm/include/asm/futex.h | 4 + arch/arm/mm/fault.c | 6 + arch/x86/include/asm/uv/uv_bau.h | 12 +- arch/x86/include/asm/uv/uv_hub.h | 2 +- arch/x86/kernel/apic/x2apic_uv_x.c | 12 +- arch/x86/platform/uv/tlb_uv.c | 30 +- arch/x86/platform/uv/uv_time.c | 21 +- drivers/gpio/gpio-omap.c | 64 ++-- include/linux/rtmutex.h | 8 +- include/linux/work-simple.h | 24 ++ kernel/Makefile | 2 +- kernel/futex.c | 407 +++++++++++-------------- kernel/rt.c | 8 +- kernel/rtmutex-debug.c | 5 +- kernel/rtmutex-debug.h | 7 +- kernel/rtmutex-tester.c | 4 +- kernel/rtmutex.c | 603 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++---------- kernel/rtmutex.h | 7 +- kernel/rtmutex_common.h | 22 +- kernel/work-simple.c | 172 +++++++++++ lib/locking-selftest.c | 27 ++ localversion-rt | 2 +- mm/memcontrol.c | 7 +- net/sunrpc/svc_xprt.c | 4 +- 24 files changed, 986 insertions(+), 474 deletions(-) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-rt-users" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
