Dear RT Folks, This is the RT stable review cycle of patch 3.12.54-rt74-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 3/7/2016. Enjoy, -- Steve To build 3.12.54-rt74-rc1 directly, the following patches should be applied: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.x/linux-3.12.tar.xz http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.x/patch-3.12.54.xz http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/3.12/patch-3.12.54-rt74-rc1.patch.xz You can also build from 3.12.54-rt73 by applying the incremental patch: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/3.12/incr/patch-3.12.54-rt73-rt74-rc1.patch.xz Changes from 3.12.54-rt73: --- Clark Williams (1): rcu/torture: Comment out rcu_bh ops on PREEMPT_RT_FULL Mike Galbraith (1): sched,rt: __always_inline preemptible_lazy() Sebastian Andrzej Siewior (9): ptrace: don't open IRQs in ptrace_freeze_traced() too early preempt-lazy: Add the lazy-preemption check to preempt_schedule() softirq: split timer softirqs out of ksoftirqd net: provide a way to delegate processing a softirq to ksoftirqd latencyhist: disable jump-labels kernel: migrate_disable() do fastpath in atomic & irqs-off kernel: softirq: unlock with irqs on kernel/stop_machine: partly revert "stop_machine: Use raw spinlocks" kernel: sched: Fix preempt_disable_ip recodring for preempt_disable() Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) (1): Linux 3.12.54-rt74-rc1 Yang Shi (1): trace: Use rcuidle version for preemptoff_hist trace point ---- arch/Kconfig | 1 + include/linux/ftrace.h | 12 +++++ include/linux/interrupt.h | 8 ++++ include/linux/sched.h | 2 - include/trace/events/hist.h | 1 + kernel/ptrace.c | 6 ++- kernel/rcutorture.c | 7 +++ kernel/sched/core.c | 52 ++++++++++++--------- kernel/softirq.c | 109 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++----- kernel/stop_machine.c | 38 +++------------ kernel/trace/trace_irqsoff.c | 8 ++-- localversion-rt | 2 +- net/core/dev.c | 2 +- 13 files changed, 173 insertions(+), 75 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
