[ANNOUNCE] 3.0-rt1

[ANNOUNCE] 3.0-rt1

[Thomas Gleixner]

Dear RT Folks,

I'm pleased to announce the 3.0-rt1 release.

Changes versus 3.0-rc7-rt0:

  * Update to Linus final 3.0 release

  * RTC bugfixes (scheduled for mainline/stable)

  * Long standing (rt only) timer_list bug (see
    timers-avoid-the-base-null-otptimization-on-rt.patch in the split
    out quilt queue)

  * Minor non exciting fixes all over the place

Known issues:

  * Some weird "console=..." commandline + config dependent
    interactions which have been not yet investigated down to their
    root cause. Result in a boot hang. YMMV

Patch against 3.0 can be found here:

  http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/patch-3.0-rt1.patch.bz2

The split quilt queue is available at:

  http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/patches-3.0-rt1.tar.bz2

Thanks,

	tglx

Have you tested the file? I downloaded it and Kompare told me, that it 
can´t read the out put of the diff file.

Maybe you should try it again?

Thomas,

It does not build here with CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST=m

Without that it build here on amd64.

Sweet, works here :)

Only the nvidia driver fails to build because of rtmutex and migrate enable/disable being GPL only, you might want to reconsider the GPL only status of them.

Not at the momenent. RT_GROUP_SCHED depends on !PREEMPT_RT_FULL
because it leads to yet undebugged hangs and failures.

Or, alternatively, please ask Nvidia to GPL their driver.

Hi Thomas,

on ARM (in this case a Samsung S3C2440 based platform) I get:

kernel/built-in.o: In function `vprintk':
/home/jb/[...]/linux-3.0/kernel/printk.c:862: undefined reference to `early_vprintk'
kernel/built-in.o: In function `register_console':
/home/jb/[...]linux-3.0/kernel/printk.c:1580: undefined reference to `early_console_initialized'
make[1]: *** [vmlinux] Error 1

Did I forget something to enable in my kernel config?

I've seen the same error when trying to work around vprintk issue on
i386 with CONFIG_EXPERT=y  CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK=n

instead of fixing 'printk.c' I've changed 'include/linux/printk.h:95'
 -void early_vprintk(const char *fmt, va_list args);
 +asmlinkage void early_vprintk(const char *fmt, va_list args);

and compiled with CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK=y. Not sure if that is an option
on ARM.

Herman has reported the latter issue earlier today.

ciao,
robin

No, that's my fault. I merged a late minute debugfeature yesterday and
forgot to enable early_printk on ARM. Will be fixed in -rt2 which i'm
about to release.

You see, I've been living two lives. In one life, I'm Maarten B Lankhorst. I work on wine, and since a week or so I've been working on nouveau. And I... help fix kernel bugs that I'm affected by. My other life is in computers, where I go by the hacker alias ROFLGAMER, participating actively in computer simulated environments and am playing graphic intensive games using wine. Unfortunately when I do that I just want things to work, nouveau keeps getting better all the time, but wine's d3d is a lot more tested with the nvidia blob. ;)

I know a couple folks for whom this will eventually become a problem.

One is doing (very) high performance aircraft simulation, where
rendering performance highly important.  AFAIK there is currently no
viable alternative to "the blob"
