These fixes are needed for Linux kernel 7.2-rc7 currently in linux-yocto-dev.
Tested with genericarm64 machine and core-image-sato-sdk image and oeqa
runtime tests on AMD KV260:

This probably needs to have a PV of 2.16.0~rc2 else the version sorting
when we upgrade to the release won't work...

Do we know how far off the final release is?

Then the version is different compared to upstream tags. For CVEs I can set
CVE_VERSION.

> Do we know how far off the final release is?

Honestly I don't know. Past releases seem to have around six weeks between
last release candidate and actual release. v2.16.0-rc1 was tagged 7 weeks ago,
v2.16.0-rc2 just two weeks ago so feels like it is quite close now.

That's why I've always avoided the lttng-modules -rc releases and have opted
to just cherry-pick the patches supporting the newer kernels when I go through
an uprev cycle.

That being said, the -rc isn't any riskier than that approach, I just don't like
timing their release.

Is it actually all of the files we need from the directory ?

We avoid full directory copies wherever possible.
