There has been quite a lot of churn in Linux since 3.10, including some major API changes that affect us, so progress is a bit slow and the rebase is not yet complete. Nonetheless, if you’re curious or want to help out, I’ve pushed my work-in-progress branches to Github.

Well, I added a few more patches, but didn’t get through the entire queue yet. The scheduling class interface changed (again), which required a number of fixes to make it compile again. This release will require substantial testing.

This week I’m at ECRTS, so I doubt that I’ll have much time to work on LITMUS^RT.
