[PATCH 0/5] kernel: consolidated pull request

[PATCH 0/5] kernel: consolidated pull request

[Bruce Ashfield]

Hi all,

Here are the latest batch of kernel (and kernel related packages) fixes that 
I've been working with and testing in my environment.

perf: two commits

  [PATCH 4/5] perf: drop PR
  [PATCH 5/5] perf: add bash to RDEPENDS

The PR drop is incidental to when I was fixing the bash rdepends issue [YOCTO: #7445],
so I kept it in a separate commit.

kernel-tools: two commits

  [PATCH 1/5] kern-tools: fix iterative configuration runs                                                                                          
  [PATCH 2/5] kernel-yocto: split meta data generation from patching phase

These changes were triggered when fixing up QA warnings on the Intel BSPs,
and the incremental processing of changing meta data, and re-running the
configure and check steps was less than ideal. They are a shuffling and
split of the tasks, with no other significant changes.

And finally, a 3.19 -stable kernel update.

  [PATCH 3/5] linux-yocto/3.19: integrate korg -stable update                                                                                       

Cheers,

Bruce

[PATCH 1/5] kern-tools: fix iterative configuration runs

[Bruce Ashfield]

When fixing a kernel configuration warning, it is often necessary to
modify the kernel's meta-data and re-run the tools to update and
re-audit the config. This implies that the patch, config and audit
steps are run multiple times.

The tools had a bug that would incorrectly restore old meta-data
versus using updated configuration. Updating the kern-tools SRCREV
to fix the issue.

[PATCH 2/5] kernel-yocto: split meta data generation from patching phase

[Bruce Ashfield]

The linux-yocto kernel has a meta-data component which accompanies the
actual tree. That meta-data is processed to generate a series file that
controls the patching and configuration of the kernel.

patching and configuration are two distinct phases, so when working on
kernel configuration, it doesn't make sense to always have to re-run
the patching step just to update configuration data in the meta-series.

To allow a more granular set of tasks, we break the meta-data generation
into a separate task, which runs before do_patch. This allows the task
to be explicitly called when working on configuration, but otherwise
has no impact on the build.

[PATCH 5/5] perf: add bash to RDEPENDS

[Bruce Ashfield]

perf has a dependency on bash in its utilities, which generate the
following warning:

  WARNING: QA Issue: perf requires /bin/bash, but no providers in its RDEPENDS [file-rdeps]

Since perf is not installed on extremely small systems, we just add
bash to the RDEPENDS, rather than modifying scripts or removing content.

Was adding -v -v intentional?

In general you can only remove PR if it's r0 (as that's the default in
bitbake.conf), so this will have to remain until the PV for perf is
changed.  But perf is versioned according to the kernel that it's built
against so I think this PR is destined to stay forever as perf has no
control over it's own version.

cool. That's fine with me, I honestly didn't know the rules, and
that's why i kept it separate!

But doesn't that mean that my bash RDEPENDS fix needs a PR
bump ?

It was. The extra output only goes to the logs, and it is helpful
in diagnosing problems.

.. and yes, the obvious follow up is that I should have put that
in the commit message!

No, you don't need to bump as the PR service will bump when it rebuilds.

Great. So you'll just drop my PR patch, and the keep the other.
Just making sure that I don't need a resend, since I'm heading
for a flight and won't be around for the next 6 or 7 hours :)
