Subject: [ANNOUNCE] v4.16.18-rt9

Dear RT folks!

I'm pleased to announce the v4.16.18-rt9 patch set. 

Changes since v4.16.18-rt8:

  - A patch from upstream to avoid a warning in the kthread code. The
    warning was part of the stable update.

  - Revert of a timer patch which is no longer since the initial problem
    was addressed upstream. Patch by Anna-Maria Gleixner.

Known issues
     - A warning triggered in "rcu_note_context_switch" originated from
       SyS_timer_gettime(). The issue was always there, it is now
       visible. Reported by Grygorii Strashko and Daniel Wagner.

The delta patch against v4.16.18-rt8 is appended below and can be found here:
 
     https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/4.16/incr/patch-4.16.18-rt8-rt9.patch.xz
