[ANNOUNCE] v5.10.21-rt34

[ANNOUNCE] v5.10.21-rt34

[Sebastian Andrzej Siewior]

Dear RT folks!

I'm pleased to announce the v5.10.21-rt34 patch set.

Changes since v5.10.21-rt33:

  - The alloc/free tracker sysfs file uses one PAGE size for
    collecting the results. If it runs out of space it reallocates
    more memory with disabled interrupts. The reallocation is now
    forbidden on PREEMPT_RT.

  - Update the softirq/tasklet patches to the latest version posted to
    the list.

Known issues
     - kdb/kgdb can easily deadlock.
     - netconsole triggers WARN.

The delta patch against v5.10.21-rt33 is appended below and can be found here:

     https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/5.10/incr/patch-5.10.21-rt33-rt34.patch.xz
