Bruce, Yocto kernel folks:

Here is the next 5.2.x stable update "extension" primarily created for
the Yocto project, as the next v5.2.x post-EOL release.

And I'd ask that people keep in mind that this maintenance is most
likely to wind down in about three months time, so do plan your own
maintenance or migration path off of this v5.2.x update stream that I've
been doing here.

The content is from an audit of what went into the v5.4.36 to v5.4.41
releases - plus any upstream commits listed as Fixes: for backports in
the above v5.4.x content, and a few upstream commits for recent CVE.

There are just about 390 commits deployed here that were applicable for
this v5.2.43 release.  Fairly uniformly disributed across all arch and
subsystems - no one area really stands out, which is a good thing.

I've put this 5.2.43 queue through my normal testing, with build tests
on x86-64/32, ARM-64/32, PPC and MIPS, plus some static analysis and
finally some sanity runtime tests on x86-64 (raw + qemu/KVM).

Please find tag v5.2.43 (7c820c1e8b8008776bfe11e0d7ae6b7334229f07) as
the current head of linux-5.2.y branch in the repo in the kernel.org
directory here:

  
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulg/linux-5.2.y.git/?h=linux-5.2.y
  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulg/linux-5.2.y.git

for merge to standard/base in linux-yocto-5.2 and then out from there
into the other base and BSP branches.

For those who are interested, the evolution of the commits is here:

  https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/paulg/longterm-queue-5.2.git/

This repo isn't needed for anything; it just exists for transparency and
so people can see the evolution of the raw commits that were originally
selected to create this 5.2.x release.

Paul.
