Dear RT folks!
I'm pleased to announce the v6.12.8-rt8 patch set.
Changes since v6.12.8-rt7:
- Adding Lazy-Preempt for PowerPC. This also fixes a boot problem on
certain PowerPC parts. The regression was introduced after dropping
the old Lazy-Preempt patches for PowerPC back in v6.6-rc6-rt10.
Reported by Robert Joslyn, patch by Shrikanth Hegde.
Known issues
None.
The delta patch against v6.12.8-rt7 is appended below and can be found here:
https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/6.12/incr/patch-6.12.8-rt7-rt8.patch.xz
