Dear RT folks!
I'm pleased to announce the v5.9-rc2-rt1 patch set.
Changes since v5.6.19-rt12:
- Rebase to v5.9-rc2
- The seqcount related patches have been replaced on top of the
seqcount series by Ahmed S. Darwis which landed mainline.
- The posix-timer patches have been dropped because upstream changes
cover all of was needed on RT's side. As a result RT relies on
HAVE_POSIX_CPU_TIMERS_TASK_WORK. This is provided only by x86.
The RT patch provides this option for ARM/ARM64/POWERPC as long as
KVM is disabled. The reason is that the task work must be handled
before KVM returns to guest.
Known issues
- It has been pointed out that due to changes to the printk code the
internal buffer representation changed. This is only an issue if tools
like `crash' are used to extract the printk buffer from a kernel memory
image.
