I'm back to my usual Sunday release schedule, and rc2 is out there inall the normal places.This was a fairly usual rc2, with a very quiet beginning of the week,and then most changes came in on Friday afternoon and Saturday (withthe last few ones showing up Sunday morning).Normally I tend to dislike how that pushes most of my work into theweekend, but this time I took advantage of it, spending the quiet partof last week diving instead.Anyway, the only unusual thing worth noting here is that the securitysubsystem pull request that came in during the merge window gotrejected due to problems, and so rc2 ends up with most of thatsecurity pull having been merged in independent pieces instead.As a result, about 30% of the rc2 patches are actually things thattechnically came in during the merge window, but were delayed into rc2due to that issue.Other than that, it's the usual mix of random stuff. Drivers(networking, rdma and gpu stand out), architecture fixes (x86, mips,s390, parisc, powerpc, arm), some filesystem things, genericnetworking and Documentation. And the random smattering everywhere.Nothing stands out, although hopefully we've gotten over all the x86ASID issues. Knock wood.Shortlog appended as a rough overview of the details.Go test it,                      Linus
