Hi all,
I wonder how you handle the kernel patches?
I want to apply a security kernel patch to Linux-yocto 3.10 which is used by
Romely:
meta-inte/meta-romley/conf/machine/romley-ivb.conf:PREFERRED_VERSION_linux-yocto
?= "3.10%"
For me the obvious way to fix this is:
1) Create >> "poky/meta/recipes-kernel/linux/files" directory and add the patch
file there
2) modify: poky/meta/recipes-kernel/linux/linux-yocto_3.10.bb
-SRC_URI =
"git://git.yoctoproject.org/linux-yocto-3.10.git;bareclone=1;branch=${KBRANCH},${KMETA};name=machine,meta"
+FILESEXTRAPATHS_prepend := "${THISDIR}/files:"
+SRC_URI =
"git://git.yoctoproject.org/linux-yocto-3.10.git;bareclone=1;branch=${KBRANCH},${KMETA};name=machine,meta
\
+ file://Fix_for_CVE-2014-0196_pty_layer_race_condition.patch \
+ "
Please let me know if this is the correct way. And also let me know if I
upstream this kernel patch to yocto, will yocto accept it (if the patch looks
correct of course). Please let me know if you prefer to apply security patches
to kernels in some different way.
Thanks
BR - Sona
