Hello RT-list!

I'm pleased to announce the 4.9.258-rt172 stable release.

Note that there was a futex/mutex code collision during the merge of v4.9-257
and another one with the merge of v4.9.258. Even though I believe that it's
fixed correctly, anyone with suspicions about futex/rtmutex behavior in these
releases should consider starting investigating there.

You can get this release via the git tree at:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rt/linux-stable-rt.git

branch: v4.9-rt
Head SHA1: 417c1df254de98957caae5f4e31337cdd6ae063e

Or to build 4.9.258-rt172 directly, the following patches should be applied:

https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v4.x/patch-4.9.258.xz

Enjoy!
