Bruce, Yocto kernel folks: Here is the next 4.18.x stable update "extension" primarily created for the Yocto project, continuing from the previous v4.18.22 release.
There are about 235 commits here, based on commits chosen from what was used in existing 4.19.9 to 4.19.11 (inclusive) stable releases. Things are back to "normal" in that we seem to have the desired case of "one issue -- one commit" vs. the spectre CVEs which required many backports of mainline commits just for one CVE fix. I've put this 4.18.x queue through the usual testing; build testing on x86-64/32, ARM-64/32, PPC and MIPS, plus some static analysis and finally some sanity runtime tests on x86-64. I did the signed tag just as per the previously released 4.18.212 Please find a signed v4.18.23 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/cgit/linux/kernel/git/paulg/linux-4.18.y.git/ 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. I think it is safe to say this will be the last 4.18 release that I'll be doing this year. :) Paul. -- -- _______________________________________________ linux-yocto mailing list linux-yocto@yoctoproject.org https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/linux-yocto
