kernel-yocto: consolidated pull request

Richard/Saul,

Here's the pending queue of kernel changes for the 1.7 feature freeze. The queue is large, but I've actually been building and running with most of these changes for 6 months now, so they've been soaked for quite a while.

This block of changes is largely about removing some of the old code, the corner cases, and removing checks that are now handled by the fetcher (awesome!). They are incremental cleanups, and nothing significant changes .. in fact, I'm probably the only one that really even cares about the changes (since I have more features to do on top of them):

kernel-yocto: use cat-file instead of git-show
kernel-yocto: move SRCREV validation to patching phase
kernel-yocto: remove containing branch check
kernel-yocto: remove SRC_URI kbranch validation
kernel-yocto: remove branch existence checking in do_validate_branches
kernel-yocto: remove KBRANCH_DEFAULT
kernel-yocto: simplify branch SRCREV validation
kernel-yocto: use show-ref instead of branch -a
kernel-yocto: clean overly complex branch checkout
kernel-yocto: allow custom non-meta, SRCREV format builds
kernel-yocto: remove KBRANCH_DEFAULT
kernel-yocto: convert echo statements to bb* equivalents
kern-tools: allow meta branch and meta data directory to differ

The next change is:

images: introduce core-image-kernel-dev

This is the image type that I've been using for the same 6 month window to build and boot test kernel updates. There's nothing really new here, but it is a named image type that selects existing package groups and puts them all in one place. After it built for all arches and 3.16 .. we had no failures.

There are moer packages to add to this, but that's post 1.7 work.

And finally, libc-headers, kernel version updates and removals:

linux-yocto/3.14: vhost, vxland, openvswitch and block/bfq updates linux-yocto/3.14: update to v3.14.17
linux-yocto/3.4: remove 3.4 name recipes
linux-libc-headers: update to 3.16

With those changes, we have an up to date 3.14, have dropped the 3.4 kernel and have updated the libc-headers. The kernel-dev image was built to test everything out.

That's the breakdown of the changes, and I can tweak as necessary. With that size a queue, I'm sure something will go boom, so I'm around to adjust as required.

Cheers,

Bruce
