Bruce, Yocto kernel folks: Here is the next 4.18.x stable update "extension" primarily created for the Yocto project, continuing from the previous v4.18.36 release.
There are just over 30 commits here, based only on commits chosen from what was used in the MDS stable releases that came out today. This content is specific to the MDS issue, both here and in 4.19.43. In fact, to speed up turn around time, I didn't re-export the selected commits from mainline, but used the 4.19.43 versions directly. I also set aside my work-in-progress content - it will be in the next release. By inspecting the 4.14.119 release as well, I located an additional patch that arrived in 4.19-rc1, and hence would also be needed here for this 4.18.x release. Other than that, the commit series in 4.14 and 4.19 are nearly identical, which gives another good sanity check on things being complete and no hidden/implicit dependencies here. For those that haven't (yet) heard about MDS, you can start with: Documentation/admin-guide/hw-vuln/mds.rst in kernels that have had updates applied. It will give you keywords and basic information that you can use to search out more details. As this was x86 specific, I skipped the usual MIPS/ARM/PPC builds for this one topic specific release. I boot tested on x86-64 and checked for the new MDS messages/content documented above. I did the signed tag just as per the previously released versions. Please find a signed v4.18.37 tag using this key: http://pgp.mit.edu/pks/lookup?op=vindex&search=0xEBCE84042C07D1D6 in the repo in the kernel.org directory here: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulg/linux-4.18.y.git/?h=linux-4.18.y git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulg/linux-4.18.y.git for merge to standard/base in linux-yocto-4.18 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-4.18.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 4.18.x release.
