Bruce, Yocto kernel folks: Here is the next 5.2.x stable update "extension" primarily created for the Yocto project, as the next v5.2.x post-EOL release.
This maintenance is most likely to wind down in September, so folks should plan their own maintenance or migration path off of this v5.2.x update stream in advance of that. The content is from an audit of what went into the v5.4.45 release - plus a "reach forward" into v5.4.46 for the SRBDS related commits from yesterday - hence the much lower than normal commit count. There are just about 45 commits deployed here that were applicable for this v5.2.45 release. The obvious focus on this release is the recent SRBDS updates. And for that I'll point people at the new file: Documentation/admin-guide/hw-vuln/special-register-buffer-data-sampling.rst and the status file /sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/srbds and then they can do their own research from there. I've put this 5.2.45 queue through my normal testing, with build tests on x86-64/32, ARM-64/32, PPC and MIPS, plus some static analysis and finally some sanity runtime tests on x86-64 (raw + qemu/KVM). Please find tag v5.2.45 (4928af06cc4c84ae85fbf0f3243465fb7c2018f7) as the current head of linux-5.2.y branch 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. Paul.
