Bruce, Yocto kernel folks: Here is the next 4.18.x stable update "extension" primarily created for the Yocto project, continuing from the previous v4.18.33 release.
There are just over 160 commits here, based on commits chosen from what was used in the recent 4.19.32 stable release. That warrants an additional note - the 4.19.32 release contained powerpc changes related to spectre stuff, which built on related commits added between 4.18 and 4.19-rc1 releases. So I had to circle back to that window and pick up those prerequisites. Fortunately older stable releases like 4.14.x provided additional guidance on what that commit list should contain. That also uncovered a build fail in one of the ppc64 defconfigs, which required backport of another recent fix. That said, the number of commits and the impact was nowhere near what we saw on earlier kernel versions for x86-64 -- only about 2 doz. commits here. I've put this 4.18.x queue through the usual testing; build testing on x86-64/32, ARM-64/32, PPC and MIPS, plus some static analysis and finally some sanity runtime tests on x86-64. I did the signed tag just as per the previously released versions. Please find a signed v4.18.34 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/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulg/linux-4.18.y.git/?h=linux-4.18.y git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulg/linux-4.18.y.git for merge to standard/base in linux-yocto-4.18 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-4.18.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 4.18.x release.
