Hi all,
v2: actually cc oe-core on the series.
Here is the consolidated pull request for linux-yocto 4.1 and 4.4. Most of the
changes are updates to -stable for the kernels, and the others are updates for
specific boards.
I've been building and booting these for qemu*, but of course, more mileage and
combinations in the autobuilder is best.
Some things to note:
- We have some refactored kernel configuration updates to the base/core policy
of the standard kernel, with a new "developer" kernel type being available,
leaving standard as a smaller variant. Existing board configs have been
flipped to use developer, so they'll see no change, leaving new board
configs
to take advantage of the smaller, standard kernel type.
It looks like this change hasn't been integrated into the kernel cache yet.
I just pushed the fixed patch to the end of zedd/kernel:

linux-yocto/kernel-meta: ktype refactoring: move DEBUG_KERNEL,
EXPERT and EMBEDDED
Integrating the folliwing patch series from Cal:
This patch series refactors the ktypes so that base and standard
ktypes
do not enable EMBEDDED, EXPERT, or DEBUG_KERNEL. The reason this
decision was made is because production platforms likely do not want
DEBUG_KERNEL enabled, and EMBEDDED selects EXPERT which selects
DEBUG_KERNEL.
A new ktype called "developer" was also created. This ktype
enables the options now missing from standard and base, making it
easy
to maintain the functionality of a BSP through simply swapping
the ktype
from standard to developer. The preempt-rt ktype is now based off of
developer in order to maintain its functionality.
The new standard ktype does not include EMBEDDED, EXPERT, or
DEBUG_KERNEL. Without DEBUG_KERNEL it loses a number of debug
features
that are selected by default. Without EXPERT it gains
RFKILL_INPUT and
DEBUG_MEMORY_INIT, while losing VMSPLIT_3G. These are only
available to
configure with CONFIG_EXPERT=y and default to EXPERT or !EXPERT. Not
selecting EMBEDDED has no apparent impacts.
Some coordination is required for this change, as existing BSPs
WILL be
affected, and will either need to accept the changes in the standard
ktype or move to the developer ktype.

new file
romley.scc remove profiling and latencytop features
bsp/intel-common: add intel-core* developer BSPs
preempt-rt.scc: include developer ktype instead of standard
intel-common: add intel-developer-drivers.scc to preempt-rt BSPs
CONFIG_I2C_I801: set option to yes in intel-core* BSPs
bsp: add developer common-pc BSPs

- The yocto reference BSPs haven't been updated yet, and we need to find
someone with the h/w to do the updates. These may just have to stay on
4.1 LTSI for this cycle.
- We are still seeing the 32 bit x86 X issue on the 4.4 kernel , with a splat
on
boot up. I've tried to bisect this twice, leading to inconclusive results,
but
regardless, I need to march 4.4 onto the latest -stable, and we'll continue
looking into this issue in the M4 timeframe.
- There still seem to be some races in perf, and something is up with sstate
and the kexec/kboot builds using meta-initramfs and
linux-yocto-tiny-kexecboot.
Now that these updates are out, I'll revisit them and hold any stable
updates
(unless there are significant CVEs) in the M4 cycle.
Cheers,
Bruce
