While Thomas Gleixner is away at summer camp, Clark Williams and myself decided to release an unofficial preempt-rt kernel to prevent the -rt code from developing bit rot. Unofficial until Thomas either blesses it with some Weizen or slaps us with a large stinkin' trout.
We are pleased to present
-linux-2.6.31-rc5-rt1.1
This kernel is an incremental release. It rebases linux-2.6.31-rc4-rt1 to linux-2.6.31-rc5 In-addition we added the following patches
- stacktrace-dump_out_last_preempt_disable_locations.patch - futex_wait_requeue_pi_commentary_corrections.patch - hw_lat-simple-solution-001.patch
stacktrace-dump_out_last_preempt_disable_locations.patch is a rewrite by Steven Rostedt of an Ingo Molnar patch. It is useful for tracing, since it shows the last location that preemption was disabled.
futex_wait_requeue_pi_commentary_corrections.patch Was posted to the rt-users list by Darren Hart to fix some of the comments in his futex code.
hw_lat-simple-solution-001.patch Is a fix from Luis Claudio R.Goncalves for the hardware latency detector. It fixes a problem where wake_up was called with irqs disabled. Jon Masters will be pushing some form of it upstream.
Information on the RT patch can be found at: http://rt.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Main_Page
Download location git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/clrkwllms/rt-linux.git
Branch Name linux-2.6.31-rc5-rt1.1
Enjoy!
