I know for certain that Joe has a LOT of experience with grsec, and
I've been helping maintain its 'tentacles' for a long time, so I'm

Great, glad to hear.
I wasn't trying to divert the discussion, just seeing if there
was anywhere I could help.
I know for certain that Joe has a LOT of experience with grsec, and
I've been helping maintain its 'tentacles' for a long time, so I'm
sure we can come up with something workable when the time is right.

Bruce

Hello Bruce,
What I understand from your mail you suggest using the already available linux-yocto tree.
As an answer to this let me assure that as much as possible the meta-cgl layer will try to do that. If that will not be the case I will let the community know that.
One such case could be grsecurity(which as Joe mentioned changes the kernel quite much) I also expect more such examples exist.
Do you consider this subject needs a new email opened for it?
I will think more about this and in the same time gather more information on it.
I will try to come back with an answer.
Alex

And on this note, we should consider the kernel parts and see if getting them into a common location is a good idea.
We already have the linux-yocto tree, and it tracks LTSI, has CVE and -stable tracking, and is maintained to support the set of reference boards.
Creating yet more reference kernel trees doesn't help our goal of fewer trees and a discrete set of kernel versions.
Just something to consider.

Sounds good. I'm attempting to push everything I do in the yocto
eco system into that same kernel tree. That's why meta-cloud-services
and meta-virtualization don't carry custom kernels, even though they
have some very specific requirements.
> One such case could be grsecurity(which as Joe mentioned changes the kernel quite much) I also expect more such examples exist.
grsec is a well known kernel maintenance cost, but it is something that
we can easily deal with (if we want) in the common yocto kernel. Just look
at how preempt-rt is managed. We wouldn't want that for all boards and
builds, yet it is carried and maintained along with the other features.
One someone gets deeper into development, they may find that they want
to consume the patch series differently, and that's fine, but getting it
along
with the other reference kernel versions and features is a good kickstart
for development.
That means it always patches, and gets CVEs, -stable updates, etc. If
grsec is maintained out of a tree (that may or may not be the plan), you'll
find that even korg -stable updates will break the application and you'll
be in constant refresh mode. Not to mention, repeating the same
standard/boring maintenance tasks across multiple trees, when we could
be developing new features and fixing bugs.
Just more food for thought and options to consider.

We could, but I just went and blathered on about it above. So we'll see if
an initial direction isn't too far away.

How's this for a bad start of an answer .. it depends. Let me
point out an example to follow, since that's probably the
easiest way to get started.
If you look at the linux-yocto-rt recipe, that shows how to
use the linux-yocto repo, and build a particular branch (or
set of branches) with a configuration that is specific to those
branches. i.e. it is a "kernel type" (we have standard, preempt-rt
and tiny at the moment).
To test your changes, and configuration fragments, linux-yocto
works like any other recipe. You can specify an existing branch
like standard/base (see how linux-yocto-tiny does just that), and
then add patches and .cfg files to the SRC_URI.
The kernel will be patched, and the configuration applied to the
build.
Once you are happy with the content, the changes can be merged
to a dedicated branch (i.e. standard/cgl) and the meta data put
into the meta branch of the repo.
From that point on, the recipe only needs to specify that branch
and you no longer need to patch, or explicitly reference the
meta data.
You are then in sync with the LTSI/linux-yocto version, and the
branch will get stable updates, bug fixes, BSP support, etc.

Bruce that is actually the best solution, but I personally did not know it is possible and permitted by the Yocto project git maintainers.
That is a really good news.

How's this for a bad start of an answer .. it depends. Let me point out an example to follow, since that's probably the easiest way to get started.
If you look at the linux-yocto-rt recipe, that shows how to use the linux-yocto repo, and build a particular branch (or set of branches) with a configuration that is specific to those branches. i.e. it is a "kernel type" (we have standard, preempt-rt and tiny at the moment).

The kernel will be patched, and the configuration applied to the build.
Once you are happy with the content, the changes can be merged to a dedicated branch (i.e. standard/cgl) and the meta data put into the meta branch of the repo.
From that point on, the recipe only needs to specify that branch and you no longer need to patch, or explicitly reference the meta data.
You are then in sync with the LTSI/linux-yocto version, and the branch will get stable updates, bug fixes, BSP support, etc.

Definitely something we can do. There are other yocto ecosystem
layers that also have configuration and branches that they use in
the kernel tree, so we'll be following a model that is established
and works pretty well.
I'm going to be out of the office for a bit over the next couple
of weeks, but I'll monitor the list and help where possible.
Cheers,
Bruce
