Subject: [ANNOUNCE] 4.19.72-rt25
Date: Mon, 16 Sep 2019 17:39:21 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190916173921.6368cd62@gandalf.local.home> (raw)
Dear RT Folks,
I'm pleased to announce the 4.19.72-rt25 stable release.
**** <NOTE> ****
As you probably have noticed, it has been a long time since I released
a stable 4.19-rt. The reason for this delay is that one of my tests
failed after merging with the latest stable upstream. I refuse to push
releases with a known bug in it, so I figured I would find the bug
before releasing. I only spend around 4 to 6 hours a week on upstream
stable RT as I have other responsibilities, and I could not debug this
bug during that time (after several weeks of trying).
The bug is a random NULL pointer dereference that only happens with
lockdep enabled and on 32bit x86. I also found that this bug existed
before the latest stable pull release but now it is much easier to
trigger.
I have not been able to trigger this bug in the 64 bit kernel, and as I
rather do a release than waste more time on this bug and postpone the
release further, I am now doing that. As a consequence, I am no longer
supporting 32bit x86, as it is known to have this bug.
If you are interested in this, I am willing to send out the config I am
using and one of the dmesg crashes. Just ask.
**** </NOTE> ****
This release is just an update to the new stable 4.19.72 version
and no RT specific changes have been made.
You can get this release via the git tree at:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rt/linux-stable-rt.git
branch: v4.19-rt
Head SHA1: 9cd04ab6a9a162ac4189a80032261d243563ff45
Or to build 4.19.72-rt25 directly, the following patches should be applied:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v4.x/linux-4.19.tar.xz
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v4.x/patch-4.19.72.xz
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/4.19/patch-4.19.72-rt25.patch.xz
Enjoy,
-- Steve
