Subject: [ANNOUNCE] linux-2.6.31-rc5-rt1.1

While Thomas Gleixner is away at summer camp, Clark Williams and myself
decided to release an unofficial preempt-rt kernel to prevent the -rt code from
developing bit rot. Unofficial until Thomas either blesses it with some Weizen
or slaps us with a large stinkin' trout.

We are pleased to present

-linux-2.6.31-rc5-rt1.1

This kernel is an incremental release.
It rebases linux-2.6.31-rc4-rt1 to linux-2.6.31-rc5
In-addition we added the following patches

- stacktrace-dump_out_last_preempt_disable_locations.patch
- futex_wait_requeue_pi_commentary_corrections.patch
- hw_lat-simple-solution-001.patch

stacktrace-dump_out_last_preempt_disable_locations.patch
is a rewrite by Steven Rostedt of an Ingo Molnar patch. It is useful for
tracing, since it shows the last location that preemption was disabled.

futex_wait_requeue_pi_commentary_corrections.patch
Was posted to the rt-users list by Darren Hart to fix some of the comments in
his futex code.

hw_lat-simple-solution-001.patch
Is a fix from Luis Claudio R.Goncalves for the hardware latency detector.
It fixes a problem where wake_up was called with irqs disabled.
Jon Masters will be pushing some form of it upstream.

Information on the RT patch can be found at:

Enjoy!
