Commit Message

Sebastian Andrzej Siewior Dec. 15, 2023, 3:09 p.m. UTC
Dear RT folks!

I'm pleased to announce the v6.6.7-rt18 patch set. 

Changes since v6.6.7-rt17:

  - Update the printk code to the latest version which has been posted
    upstream for review.

Known issues
     Pierre Gondois reported crashes on ARM64 together with "rtla timerlat
     hist" as trigger. It is not yet understood. The report is at
	https://lore.kernel.org/70c08728-3d4f-47a6-8a3e-114e4877d120@arm.com

The delta patch against v6.6.7-rt17 is appended below and can be found here:
 
     https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/6.6/incr/patch-6.6.7-rt17-rt18.patch.xz

You can get this release via the git tree at:

    https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rt/linux-rt-devel.git v6.6.7-rt18

The RT patch against v6.6.7 can be found here:

    https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/6.6/older/patch-6.6.7-rt18.patch.xz
