Dear RT folks! I'm pleased to announce the v7.2-rc4-rt3 patch set. Changes since v7.2-rc4-rt2: - Update the 8250 nbcon series as per John https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/[email protected]/ - ARM could issue a "sleeping while atomic warning" if user land used an "invalid opcode". Patch by Xie Yuanbin. - ARM didn't use perform POSIX CPU timers in task_work as it should. This was accidentally dropped in v6.18-rc4-rt3. Patch by Karl Mehltretter. Known issues - Yoann Congal reported a bit spinlock in dm_exception_table_lock(). https://lore.kernel.org/all/[email protected] The delta patch against v7.2-rc4-rt2 is appended below and can be found here: https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/7.2/incr/patch-7.2-rc4-rt2-rt3.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 v7.2-rc4-rt3 The RT patch against v7.2-rc4 can be found here: https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/7.2/older/patch-7.2-rc4-rt3.patch.xz The split quilt queue is available at: https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/7.2/older/patches-7.2-rc4-rt3.tar.xz Sebastian diff --git a/arch/arm/Kconfig b/arch/arm/Kconfig index 9187240a02db5..f073b5102d4ed 100644 --- a/arch/arm/Kconfig +++ b/arch/arm/Kconfig @@ -133,6 +133,7 @@ config ARM select HAVE_PERF_EVENTS select HAVE_PERF_REGS select HAVE_PERF_USER_STACK_DUMP + select HAVE_POSIX_CPU_TIMERS_TASK_WORK select MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE if SMP && ARM_LPAE select HAVE_REGS_AND_STACK_ACCESS_API select HAVE_RSEQ diff --git a/arch/arm/kernel/traps.c b/arch/arm/kernel/traps.c index afbd2ebe5c39d..6aa205a929205 100644 --- a/arch/arm/kernel/traps.c +++ b/arch/arm/kernel/traps.c @@ -375,6 +375,7 @@ void arm_notify_die(const char *str, struct pt_regs *regs, unsigned long err, unsigned long trap) { if (user_mode(regs)) { + local_irq_enable(); current->thread.error_code = err; current->thread.trap_no = trap; diff --git a/drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_core.c b/drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_core.c index bf358604f3dff..7598ccd9319e4 100644 --- a/drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_core.c +++ b/drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_core.c @@ -609,6 +609,9 @@ void serial8250_suspend_port(int line) struct uart_8250_port *up = &serial8250_ports[line]; struct uart_port *port = &up->port; + /* No irq_work may be queued when suspending. */ + up->avoid_modem_status_work = true; + if (!console_suspend_enabled && uart_console(port) && port->type != PORT_8250) { unsigned char canary = 0xa5; @@ -645,6 +648,12 @@ void serial8250_resume_port(int line) port->uartclk = 921600*16; } uart_resume_port(&serial8250_reg, port); + + /* irq_work allowed again.
