[ANNOUNCE] v4.16.18-rt10
Dear RT folks!
I'm pleased to announce the v4.16.18-rt10 patch set.
Changes since v4.16.18-rt9:
- The gicv3 now gained a raw_spinlock_t and allocates memory early.
This avoids splats early during boot.
- The migrate_disable() replacements for UP and non-RT builds were
broken. The logic changed for this configuration and now
migrate_disable() turns on preempt_disable(). Reported by Joe Korty.
- The trace events in the cgroup code allocate a sleeping lock which
does not work on RT. Reported by Clark Williams, patch by Steven
Rostedt.
- Avoid a preempt_disable() section during fork. This gives
debug_object() an additional opportunity to refill its pool if
needed.
- Drop the "Prevent broadcast signals" patch. Broadcast signals are
not prevented by preventing sig_kernel_only() and
sig_kernel_coredump() (as explained by Eric W. Biederman). This change
was probably required in the early days but I can't find a reason why it
should be still required.
- The "delay ioapic unmask during pending setaffinity" patch been
replaced with an updated version by Thomas Gleixner.
Known issues
- A warning triggered in "rcu_note_context_switch" originated from
SyS_timer_gettime(). The issue was always there, it is now
visible. Reported by Grygorii Strashko and Daniel Wagner.
