Bruce, Yocto kernel folks: Here is the final 4.12.x stable update "extension" primarily created for the Yocto project, continuing on top of the previous v4.12.28 kernel.
After months of warning, hopefully it comes as no surprise to anyone that this is the last 4.12.x release. There are about 100 commits here, based on commits chosen from what was used in existing 4.14.x stable releases. The 4.14 versions I was auditing contained batch updates from DaveM in the networking department, and hence that is represented significantly here in these commits. I've also jumped ahead and looked at what arm64 did in 4.14-stable for the whole ssbd stuff, and did my best to drag that back kicking and screaming to 4.12. I've put this 4.12.x queue through the usual testing that I figured made sense, which is in line with that listed explicitly in previous release announcements. Given the footprint of the ARM64/KVM changes for ssbd, I did an ARM64 allyesconfig and build tested that. But to be clear, sanity boot testing ARM64 guests is beyond what I have time/resources for. Thank you all for making use of this kernel version. It is nice to know the work in backports gets used. But the time has come to re-direct my focus onto work for newer kernel versions. I hope you can all move to a newer version as well. I did the signed tag just as per the previously released 4.12.x versions. Please find a signed v4.12.29 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 evolution of the raw commits that were originally selected to create this 4.12.x release.
