kernel-yocto: consolidated pull request

Hi all,

Here is my queue of changes for kernel-yocto.

These are mainly -stable updates, but contained in those updates are the gcc8 fixes that we need to get gcc8 working for the reference kernels in master.

I've also fixed a couple of issues that were found in the last 4.12 update.

Note: I'll be dropping 4.12 and 4.15 from master in my next set of
updates, keeping 4.14 and moving to a 4.17+ kernel as the latest.

There's also a minor kern-tools fix that was sent in my direction.

And finally we were seeing intermittent failures when configuring linux-yocto for 4.16+. The failures were sometimes obvious (configure failure) or not so obvious (dropped options). When I dug into the problem, I found that 4.16+ has new checks for x86 that require native binaries, and the compiler that will be used to build the kernel. The fix was to put the required dependencies on the kernel_configme task for linux-yocto (since it runs before do_configure, it doesn't have the default kernel DEPENDS in place), and to ensure that CC= and HOSTCC are set in the environment for the configure invokations.

Cheers,

Bruce
