Bruce, Yocto kernel folks: Here is another 4.12.x stable update "extension" primarily created for the Yocto project, continuing on top of the previous v4.12.22 kernel.
There about 150 commits here, with no real multi-commit topics, meaning things are returning to what is normal for a stable release. It is just a few CVEs that I was made aware of, plus selected content based on what was used for 4.14-stable that would also be appropriate for the 4.12 kernel here. As usual, I've put this 4.12.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 I bumped the 4.12 Makefile and did the signed tag just as per the previously released 4.12.x versions. Please find a signed v4.12.23 tag using this key: http://pgp.mit.edu/pks/lookup?op=vindex&search=0xEBCE84042C07D1D6 in the repo in the kernel.org directory here: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/paulg/linux-4.12.y.git/ git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulg/linux-4.12.y.git for merge to standard/base in linux-yocto-4.12 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-4.12.git/ This repo isn't needed for anything; it just exists for transparency and so people can see the raw commits that were used to create this 4.12.x release, similar to Greg's stable queue: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git/ Paul. -- -- _______________________________________________ linux-yocto mailing list [email protected] https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/linux-yocto
