[ANNOUNCE] v6.8-rc1-rt2

[Sebastian Andrzej Siewior]

Dear RT folks!

I'm pleased to announce the v6.8-rc1-rt2 patch set. 

Changes since v6.8-rc1-rt1:

  - Junxiao Chang reported an unbalanced invocation of the acquire/
    release functions for the non-BLK console. Only the 8250 serial
    driver is affected if more than one ttyS console is passed as boot
    argument to console=. Patch by Junxiao Chang.

  - On ARM with HIGHMEM, HIGHPTE and LPAE enabled a sleeping while
    atomic warning can be triggered from the FUTEX code (and other
    users).

Known issues
     Pierre Gondois reported crashes on ARM64 together with "rtla timerlat
     hist" as trigger. It is not yet understood. The report is at
	https://lore.kernel.org/70c08728-3d4f-47a6-8a3e-114e4877d120@xxxxxxx
