Bruce, Yocto kernel folks: Here is another 4.8.x stable update. Continuing on top of the previously released v4.8.24 kernel, we now have the appropriate content from 4.9.22 to 4.9.24 (inclusive) applied on top of our latest 4.8 baseline. Once again, I've combined several 4.9.x which results in just under 200 backported commits out of that original 4.9.x range.
Of note, it includes the stack/heap CVE fixes backported from the 4.9.x stable release which were outside of the above range, but they seemed worthy of jumping ahead in the 4.9.x queue that remains. As usual, I've put this 4.8.x queue through the various testing that I figured made sense, which includes but is not limited to: -x86-64 sanity boot test + workloads of defconfig on COTS Core2 box. -build MIPS, PPC, ARM, ARM64 with yocto .config and toolchains -build x86-64 allmodconfig/allyesconfig -build i386 allmodconfig/allyesconfig I bumped the Makefile and did the signed tag just as per the previously released 4.8.x versions. Please find a signed v4.8.24 tag using this key: http://pgp.mit.edu/pks/lookup?op=vindex&search=0xEBCE84042C07D1D6 in the repo in my kernel.org directory here: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/paulg/linux-4.8.y.git/ git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulg/linux-4.8.y.git for merge to standard/base in linux-yocto-4.8 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-4.8.git/ This repo isn't needed for anything; it just exists for transparency and so people can see how the commits were adjusted to apply to the 4.8.x kernel baseline in case people are interested.
