[ANNOUNCE] v5.9-rc3-rt3

[Sebastian Andrzej Siewior]

Dear RT folks!

I'm pleased to announce the v5.9-rc3-rt3 patch set. 

Changes since v5.9-rc3-rt2:

  - Correct a compile issue in the i915 driver. Reported by Carsten Emde
    and Daniel Wagner.

  - Mark Marshall reported a crash on PowerPC. The reason for the crash
    is a race in exec_mmap() vs a context switch and is not limited to
    PowerPC. This race is present since v5.4.3-rt1 and is addressed in
    two changes:

    - commit 38cf307c1f201 ("mm: fix kthread_use_mm() vs TLB invalidate")
      which is part of v5.9-rc1.

    - patch "mm: fix exec activate_mm vs TLB shootdown and lazy tlb switching race"
      by Nicholas Piggin which has been posted for review and is not yet
      merged upstream.

Known issues
     - It has been pointed out that due to changes to the printk code the
       internal buffer representation changed. This is only an issue if tools
       like `crash' are used to extract the printk buffer from a kernel memory
       image.
