[PATCH 00/14] sched: SCHED_DEADLINE v8

[Juri Lelli <juri.lelli@gmail.com>]

Hello everyone,

here we go with a new version of the SCHED_DEADLINE patchset (v8). I know that
it has been a while since I released last version [1], but I thought not to
spam the mailing list with simple updates. Well... this IS basically an update
to 3.12-rc5, but it comes right before the next Kernel Summit and Real Time
Linux Workshop and, since I'll be present at both events, it is probably time
to fire-up the discussion again.

Moreover, interesting news:

 - a better mechanism for coordinating mutually exclusive access to critical
   sections is coming soon (we wrote a paper about it for RTLWS15 [2]);
 - the patchset is now available in the 3.4 and 3.10 Yocto kernels [3] (thanks
   a lot for this to Bruce Ashfield and Insop Song); even though it is hard to
   say how many new users we got with this, we can say that having
   SCHED_DEADLINE in Yocto provides availabily to OSVs like Wind River and
   others;
 - a european project has started (JUNIPER [4]) for which we will provide
   kernel level support based on this patchset (and we will soon have a real
   use case for it! yayyy! :)).

The development is taking place at:
   https://github.com/jlelli/sched-deadline

branch: sched-dl-V8 (this patchset on top of tip/master).

Check the repositories frequently if you're interested, and feel free to
e-mail me for any issue you run into.

Test applications:
  https://github.com/gbagnoli/rt-app 
  https://github.com/jlelli/schedtool-dl

Development mailing list: linux-dl; you can subscribe from here:
http://feanor.sssup.it/mailman/listinfo/linux-dl
or via e-mail (send a message to linux-dl-request@retis.sssup.it with
just the word `help' as subject or in the body to receive info).

The code was being jointly developed by ReTiS Lab (http://retis.sssup.it)
and Evidence S.r.l (http://www.evidence.eu.com) in the context of the ACTORS
EU-funded project (http://www.actors-project.eu) and the S(o)OS EU-funded
project (http://www.soos-project.eu/). Development is now supported by the
JUNIPER EU-funded project [4].

As usual, any kind of feedback is welcome and appreciated.

Thanks in advice and regards,

 - Juri
