We are pleased to announce the 2.6.24.7-rt15 tree, which can be downloaded from the location:
http://rt.et.redhat.com/download/
Information on the RT patch can be found at:
http://rt.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Main_Page
This is a rather large update on top of 2.6.24.7-rt14:
- add support for m68knommu (Sebastian Siewior)
Don't be scared about the size of the patch. It contains a lot of changes in the m68knommu code which are on the way to upstream already, but we want to make the new -rt arch available for testing right away.
- Various general mainline bugfixes collected by Clark Williams
- mm fix race in COW logic (Nick Piggin)
- Various hrtimer/nohz bugfix backports (tglx)
- command line option to supply the acpi pmtimer port (tglx)
- rtmutex debug fix (John Stultz)
- CPU hotplug fixes (Peter Zijlstra)
- rt rwlock locking fixes (Steven Rostedt)
- ftrace function pointer fix (Josh Triplett)
- RCU memory barrier fix (Paul McKenney)
- scheduler: round robin time slice fix (Miao Xie)
- frace: preempt trace fix (Steven Rostedt)
- scheduler: SCHED_FIFO spec violation fix (Peter Zijlstra, Darren Hart)
- PPC64 fixes (Chirag Jog, Sebastian Dugue)
- load average calculation fix (Michal Schmidt)
- ftrace: do not wakeup the waitqueue when interrupts disabled (tglx)
- ACPI: fix reschedule checks (tglx)
- smp boot hotplug fix (Peter Zijlstra)
- scheduler: Fix race of dequeued SCHED_RR task against timer interrupt (tglx)
to build a 2.6.24.7-rt14 tree, the following patches should be applied:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.24.tar.bz2 http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/patch-2.6.24.7.bz2 http://rt.et.redhat.com/download/patch-2.6.24.7-rt15.bz2
And like always, Steven's RT version of Matt Mackall's ketchup will get this for you nicely:
http://people.redhat.com/srostedt/rt/tools/ketchup-0.9.8-rt3
As usual the broken out patches are also available.
I have a backport of the powerpc ftrace code in the pipeline, which I plan to release in the next days. That should allow us to sort out the MPC5200 issue which was reported by Wolfgang et al. We tested on a MPC8544 with no sign of strange latencies, so this seems to be a MPC5200 specific problem. Stay tuned, I'll have a 5200 board in my hands hopefully tomorrow morning.
Thanks,
tglx
