i have released the 2.6.20-rc1-rt3 tree, which can be downloaded from the usual place:
http://redhat.com/~mingo/realtime-preempt/ more info about the -rt patchset can be found on the RT wiki: http://rt.wiki.kernel.org this is a rebase of -rt to v2.6.20, plus lots of fixes all around the place. Given that v2.6.20 is a stabilization release, i rebased the -rt tree earlier than usual, and it has worked out so far and is converging pretty fast. Changes since 2.6.19-rt6: - scheduling latency fixes on SMP systems - various high-res timers and dynticks fixes - all hardirq and softirq threads now default to SCHED_FIFO:50, use rtirq, set_kthread_prio or raw chrt to tune them. Note: the naming of IRQ threads has changed to "IRQ-123", from the "IRQ 123" naming, to make it easier to script them. - NUMA/slab-rt fixes - tracer fixes - merge the latest ARM patches - lockless pagecache patchset from Nick Pigging, ported to -rt by Peter Zijlstra - files_lock scalability patchset from Peter Zijlstra - more /proc/lockdep dependency info from Jason Baron - latest lockdep fixes - latest e1000 fixes - /proc/timer_list for timer info and enhanced /proc/timer_stats support via CONFIG_TIMER_STATS. - fixed bzImage boot hang when FUNCTION_TRACING/mcount enabled. - lots of other fixes i forgot about :) - merge to v2.6.20-rc1 - merge to latest -git after v2.6.20-rc1 to build a 2.6.20-rc1-rt3 tree, the following patches should be applied: http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.19.tar.bz2 http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/testing/patch-2.6.20-rc1.bz2 http://redhat.com/~mingo/realtime-preempt/patch-2.6.20-rc1-rt3 the -rt YUM repository for Fedora Core 6 and 5, for architectures x86_64 and i686 can be activated via: cd /etc/yum.repos.d wget http://people.redhat.com/~mingo/realtime-preempt/rt.repo yum install kernel-rt.x86_64 # on x86_64 yum install kernel-rt # on i686 yum update kernel-rt # refresh - or enable yum-updatesd (note: it will take 15-30 minutes from now on for the yum repository to be updated to -rt6) as usual, bugreports, fixes and suggestions are welcome, Ingo - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
