[PATCH RT 0/3] Linux v4.14.232-rt112-rc1

[Luis Claudio R. Goncalves]

Dear RT Folks,

This is the RT stable review cycle of patch 4.14.232-rt112-rc1.

Please scream at me if I messed something up. Please test the patches
too.

The -rc release will be uploaded to kernel.org and will be deleted
when the final release is out. This is just a review release (or
release candidate).

The pre-releases will not be pushed to the git repository, only the
final release is.

If all goes well, this patch will be converted to the next main
release on 2021-06-07.

Known problem:

  There is a printk build warning that would be fixed by commit 43a17111c2553
  ("printk: wake up klogd in vprintk_emit"), already present in v4.19-rt. I am
  trying to decide whether it is justifiable to suggest the backport of this
  commit to 4.14-stable or if I should write a simple rt-only fix. Comments are
  welcome.


To build 4.14.232-rt112-rc1 directly, the following patches should be applied:

  https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v4.x/linux-4.14.tar.xz

  https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v4.x/patch-4.14.232.xz

  https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/4.14/patch-4.14.232-rt112-rc1.patch.xz


You can also build from 4.14.232-rt111 by applying the incremental patch:

  https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/4.14/incr/patch-4.14.232-rt111-rt112-rc1.patch.xz

Enjoy,

-- Luis

[PATCH RT 1/3] printk: revamp "Make rt aware"

[Luis Claudio R. Goncalves]

v4.14.232-rt112-rc1 stable review patch.
If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

-----------


Commit 7fcfb8fdfc41e ("printk: Make rt aware") from v4.19-rt is more
comprehensive than its equivalent in v4.14-rt (commit 70ce7ac4c16f1).

As one example, this commit resolves the following build warnings from
v4.14-rt:

  kernel/printk/printk.c: At top level:
  kernel/printk/printk.c:1608:13: warning: ‘console_lock_spinning_enable’ defined but not used [-Wunused-function]
   static void console_lock_spinning_enable(void)
               ^
  kernel/printk/printk.c:1633:12: warning: ‘console_lock_spinning_disable_and_check’ defined but not used [-Wunused-function]
   static int console_lock_spinning_disable_and_check(void)
              ^

Fixes: 70ce7ac4c16f1 ("printk: Make rt aware")

[PATCH RT 2/3] timers: Redo the notification of canceling timers on -RT

[Luis Claudio R. Goncalves]

From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@linutronix.de>

v4.14.232-rt112-rc1 stable review patch.
If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

-----------


[ Upstream commit c71273154c2ad12e13333aada340ff30e826a11b ]

Rework of the hrtimer, timer and posix-timer cancelation interface
on -RT. Instead of the swait/schedule interface we now have locks
which are taken while timer is active. During the cancellation of an
active timer the lock is acquired. The lock will then either
PI-boost the timer or block and wait until the timer completed.
The new code looks simpler and does not trigger a warning from
rcu_note_context_switch() anymore like reported by Grygorii Strashko
and Daniel Wagner.
The patches were contributed by Anna-Maria Gleixner.

This is an all in one commit of the following patches:
| [PATCH] timers: Introduce expiry spin lock
| [PATCH] timers: Drop expiry lock after each timer invocation
| [PATCH] hrtimer: Introduce expiry spin lock
| [PATCH] posix-timers: move rcu out of union
| [PATCH] posix-timers: Add expiry lock
