Dear RT folks!
I'm pleased to announce the v4.16.7-rt1 patch set.
Changes since v4.14.39-rt28:
- Rebase to v4.16
- The queue went through a big cleanup and reordering, so the patches
which belong together are not scattered all over the place.
The sections at the front of the series are patches which are either
upstream already (4.17), queued in a maintainer tree for 4.18, posted
and under discussion or just ready to be posted.
- A large section covers the recent rework of the *_nort/*_rt()
wrappers. Instead of trying to argue them upstream they have been made
obsolete by refactoring the code in which they have been used. There
are a few hard to solve leftovers, but non of them should survive.
- The cpu_chill() related try-lock-loop in dcache has been replaced
with a rework avoiding the loop. The rework was joint work by Al
Viro and John Ogness.
There are still a few cpu_chill() instances which are going to be
tackled in the next weeks.
- The AT91 timer patches have been mostly replaced with the "TCB timer
driver" patches by Alexandre Belloni.
- The latest version of the latency tracer patches which is aimed for 4.18
has been incorporated.
