Subject: [ANNOUNCE] v4.9.30-rt20

Dear RT folks!

I'm pleased to announce the v4.9.30-rt20 patch set. 

Changes since v4.9.30-rt19:

  - The patch "timers: Don't wake ktimersoftd on every tick" has been
    reverted because this optimisation can lead to timers not getting
    expired. Reported by Klaus Gusenleitner, debugged by Anna-Maria
    Gleixner.

  - Markus Trippelsdorf reported that the new futex code makes the
    glibc/nptl/tst-robustpi8 test fail. Patch by Peter Zijlstra.

Known issues
	- CPU hotplug got a little better but can deadlock.

	- gdb. While gdb is following a task it is possible that after a
	  fork() operation the task is waiting for gdb and gdb waiting
	  for the task.

The delta patch against v4.9.30-rt19 is appended below and can be found here:
 
     https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/4.9/incr/patch-4.9.30-rt19-rt20.patch.xz
