Bruce, Yocto kernel folks: Here is a quick 4.8.x stable update. There are only about 10 patches here as this release is primarily to set the stage for better compatibility with the existing preempt-rt content in Yocto.
To that end, I've tested it with the Yocto kernel-cache preempt-rt patches applied, and I've also done test merges of it to standard/base and standard/preempt-rt/base. As the merge to -rt required some manual intervention, I'll provide you with those test merges out of band for your reference while you are updating linux-yocto-4.8 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 defconfig -build x86-64 allmodconfig/allyesconfig -build i386 allmodconfig/allyesconfig -build and boot test merge of this with -rt in Yocto. I bumped the Makefile and did the signed tag just as per the previously released 4.8.x versions. Please find a signed v4.8.28 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 raw commits can be found 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 reference.
