v2.6.22.1-rt5

v2.6.22.1-rt5

[Ingo Molnar]

we are pleased to announce the v2.6.22.1-rt5 kernel (collected and 
assembled by Thomas), which can be downloaded from the usual place:
  
  http://redhat.com/~mingo/realtime-preempt/
  
more info about the -rt patchset can be found in the RT wiki:
   
  http://rt.wiki.kernel.org

Changes since -rt4:

 - MM fix: PCP pages locking (Peter Zijlstra)

 - yield() fix: remove stale RCU-unlock (Daniel Walker)

 - dont do check_pgt_cache() in idle (found by Daniel Walker)

 - moved 8 patches, created 6 new patches out of larger patches to 
   make the -rt queue more bisectable (Daniel Walker)

 - cleanup (Daniel Walker)

 - fix the latency tracer under paravirt

to build a 2.6.22.1-rt5 tree, the following patches should be applied:
  
  http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.22.1.tar.bz2
  http://redhat.com/~mingo/realtime-preempt/patch-2.6.22.1-rt5

Maybe I was too quick, but `make all` on is failing here:

Re: v2.6.22.1-rt5

[Ingo Molnar]

i've released the v2.6.23-rc1-rt0 kernel, which can be downloaded from 
the usual place:

   http://redhat.com/~mingo/realtime-preempt/

as the rt0 name suggests it, this is a devel release, the first one 
after a rebase to 2.6.23-rc1. There's lots of changes and a reduction of 
50 patches (we are now at 320 patches) - so code from -rt is moving 
upstream at a steady pace. (latest bigger chunks that moved were CFS, 
lockstat, most of the -hrt queue, plus various fixes)
   
more info about the -rt patchset can be found in the RT wiki:
    
  http://rt.wiki.kernel.org
 
to build a 2.6.22.1-rt5 tree, the following patches should be applied:

 http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/testing/linux-2.6.23-rc1.tar.bz2

This patch is needed to build on x86-64 with only the tracing options,
but no preempt enabled.

The above stanza still needs some tlc.  I built a 2.6.22.1-rt6 (rt5 wouldn't 
build) using the same old config that a make oldconfig didn't fuss about, but 
the reboot never completed, see the attached, heavily smunched camera shot of 
the panic.

Kinda looks like hda/sda confusion, with rt3 (this boot), its hda*, what is it 
now?  fstab or kernel config error?

yeah, as long as your filesystems are created with a proper label, all 
that you need to do is to change all 'hda' to 'sda' in the new kernel's 
/etc/grub.conf entry. (or enable the old IDE code in the .config, under 
CONFIG_IDE)

apparently you caught that 3 seconds window where the .23-rc1-rt1

Yup, good timing... :-) Hard to do again...

yeah, that's the plan: to keep .22-rt updated until .23 is released. 
(Thomas agrees with that approach too)

Damn, I didn't say it clear enough, the / is on an LVM volume.  /Boot is 
on /dev/hda1, aka (hd0,0) in the first line.  Since the msg pointed at 0,0, 
I'll switch that line to "root (sd0,0)" just for grins.

I take it that was an auto-conversion?  I did nothing to confirm any changes 
when I ran a make oldconfig, using the 2.6.22.1-rt3 .config as the src 
config.

Thanks.

So you can wipe off that grin;
I know where you've been--
It's all been a pack of lies!

Changing the "root (hd0,0)" to (sd0,0) failed.  Grub can't parse the (sd0,0).

I believe it is on:

[root@coyote linux-2.6.22.1-rt6]# grep CONFIG_IDE .config
CONFIG_IDE=y
# CONFIG_IDEDISK_MULTI_MODE is not set
# CONFIG_IDE_TASK_IOCTL is not set

When .23 will be released could you explain changes for every following
-rt release in more detailed fashion, please? For whom is interested to
keep .22 updated also when .23 is released.

Thanks.

that (hd0,0) is a BIOS identification and needs no changing.

could you send me your grub.conf?
