[PATCH 00/12] kernel-yocto: consolidated pull request

[Bruce Ashfield <bruce.ashfield@windriver.com>]

Hi all,

Here is another consolidated pull request. I was in a cycle waiting for
the right set of Spectre/Meltdown fixes to land, and finally they did
appear for 4.4 and 4.9, so I've triggerd this pull request.

On that CVE note, mitigations for 4.12 and 4.8 (i.e. kernels that have
been released as defaults in the past) will follow in a bit, they just
aren't quite ready yet.

My plan on the kernel front is to get mitigations in place, and then
for the next release put everything but 4.14 and 4.15+ into maintenance
mode.

Along with the -stable updates, I have a build failure fix ([YOCTO #12430)

   [PATCH 02/12] linux-yocto/4.9: fix aufs build

As well as some bug fix backports:

   [PATCH 04/12] linux-yocto/4.12: CQM and rdt backports
   [PATCH 05/12] linux-yocto/4.12: coffeeLake-s graphics and audio support
   [PATCH 06/12] linux-yocto/4.12: drm & mips fixes
   [PATCH 08/12] linux-yocto/4.12: iwlwifi and pci id backports

There is also a build process fix ([YOCTO #12487])

   [PATCH 07/12] kernel-yocto: make SRC_URI defconfig removal more specific

And finally, a RFC patch that tweaks the way make-mod-scripts are built.
I've been carrying this in my tree since last Fall and haven't had any
issues .. but I've still left it as RFC to indicate if there's feedback
please do send it along. That's for YOCTO #12228 if you need extra history
on the bug.

  [RFC][PATCH 12/12] make-mod-scripts: change how some kernel module tools are built

I've built and booted all the arches and variants that I possibly could,
but the test matrix is large, so there always remains the possibility that
something has slipped through.

And finally, here are the Spectre/Meltdown reports for 4.9 and 4.4:

4.4 spectre test:
