[ANNOUNCE] v6.3-rt11

From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior
Date: Thu Apr 27 2023 - 13:43:25 EST


Dear RT folks!

I'm pleased to announce the v6.3-rt11 patch set.

Changes since v6.3-rt10:

- The locking patches for flushed queued I/O on lock contention have
been updated and reposted.

- The TPM patch was slightly altered based on upstream's feedback.

- The periodic tick timer has been aligned CLOCK_MONOTONIC. It has
been broken since v4.19-rc1. This is needed for instance for
cyclictest's --secaligned argument to work properly. Reported by
Klaus Gusenleitner.

- The tracing decoding for hrtimer events is now able to also decode
the HRTIMER_MODE_.*_HARD modes.

Known issues
None

The delta patch against v6.3-rt10 is appended below and can be found here:

https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/6.3/incr/patch-6.3-rt10-rt11.patch.xz

You can get this release via the git tree at:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rt/linux-rt-devel.git v6.3-rt11

The RT patch against v6.3 can be found here:
