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.

This maintenance is most likely to wind down in September, so folks
should plan their own maintenance or migration path off of this v5.2.x
update stream in advance of that.

The content is from an audit of what went into the v5.4.46 release -
plus selected commits from the v5.3 kernel that list v5.2 kernel commit
IDs in their "Fixes:" line.  Many of those we already had, since v5.2
was maintained during the period that v5.3 was created; this just picks
up a few more of the less critical ones (harmless warnings, etc.)  The
plan is to do the same for all v5.4 content in my next release, since by
definition, we won't see any v5.4 commits by watching the v5.4.x stable.

There are just about 120 commits deployed here that were applicable for
this v5.2.46 release.

I've put this 5.2.46 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 v5.2.46 (9393bf7191ef89f5c90cf88f264b7d57eedf5d2a) 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.
