[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?

Thanks for the great work!

Is it possible to have RT_GROUP_SCHED and PREEMPT_RT_FULL?

Thanks.

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

Hi Thomas,

Do you see it being fixed in a near future?

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.

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

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"

(maybe one of them will buy nvidia, and GPL the driver.. right:)

Great!  Perhaps they can talk to Nvidia as well.

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. ;)

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.
