Announce:
-----------------------
Dear RT Folks,
I'm pleased to announce the 3.8.9-rt4 release.
changes since v3.8.9-rt4:
- the quilt queue can be imported into git without hiccup
- a giant/ huge/ big pile of cpsw patches has been added. If you have an
ARM AM33xx (beagle bone for instance) then your network should work.
I merged driver related changes DaveM had in his net & net-next tree.
- i915 with tracing should not try to grab a spinlock in a
preempt-disabled region. Reported by Joakim Hernberg
- PPC64 forgot to check the preempt counter in ret_from_except_lite().
Patch sent by Priyanka Jain
- __schedule_bug() had a typo in a ifdef and as consequence additional
debug output was not printed. Patch sent by Qiang Huang
- builds now on ARM/imx. Reported by Arpit Goel.
- mce wakeup defered from a workqueue to a kthread. Steven Rostedt found
this and sent a patch.
- a networking fix for a warning in inet_sk_rx_dst_set(). Caused by a
route flush in the right moment. Reported by Mike Galbraith, patch by
Eric Dumazet.
- the swap_lock has been renamed because it was not unique and caused
trouble with weak-per-cpu defines. Reported by Mike Galbraith patch by
Steven Rostedt.
- preempt_disable_nort() and friends use now barrier() instead of do {}
while 0 in the unused case. Clashed with stable commit ("spinlocks
and preemption points need to be at least compiler barriers").
Known issues:
- SLxB is broken on PowerPC.
- suspend / resume seems to program program the timer wrong and wait
ages until it continues.
