Bruce, Yocto kernel folks: Here is the first 5.2.x stable update "extension" primarily created for the Yocto project, continuing from the last v5.2.21 EOL release from the normal stable-kernel feed/stream.
As the 1st extension update, it is probably worthwhile to remind people that the work here is stacked on top of the existing vanilla linux-stable work and isn't Yocto specific in any way -- other than filling a need for the Yocto project kernel needs. Non Yocto users with a 5.2.x kernel are also encouraged to make use of the work, just as the 4.8, 4.12 and 4.18 stable extension work done in the past. Content is chosen by monitoring non-EOL stable releases, CVEs and similar, and is released in a fashion as close as possible to the primary stable-kernel feed that people are used to. More specifically, for this 5.2.22 release, it contains about 235 mainline commits based on what was found in 5.3.6 and 5.3.7 stable content. I've put this 5.2.22 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 v5.2.22 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-5.2.y.git/?h=linux-5.2.y git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulg/linux-5.2.y.git for merge to standard/base in linux-yocto-5.2 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-5.2.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 5.2.x release.
