linux-yocto/4.8: sync preempt-rt with upstream project

2016-10-26T08:27:17+00:00

The initial 4.8 -rt feature was directly from Paul Gortmaker, and
now the 'upstream' -rt has done a release on the same kernel
version.

Paul has sync'd the initial effort with the upstream work, and we
now have a consolidated standard/preempt-rt/*

Along with the rsync'd content, Paul has fixed -rt boot on 32 bit
x86.

kern-tools: make patches with shell-unsafe characters valid

2016-10-19T16:07:46+00:00

If a patch contains characters like ; or (), it can cause processing
errors in the patch queue.

We had previously fixed this issue by renaming the patches to not
include invalid characters, but with this change to the kern tools
that ensures patch names are wrapped in quotes, we avoid shell
processing and hence they are valid.

linux-yocto.inc: ensure do_kernel_link_images runs before do_strip

2016-10-15T08:57:05+00:00

If the do_kernel_link_images task is enabled, then it needs to run
before do_strip. The addtask statement for do_strip makes that
explicit. For consistency, make it explicit in the addtask statement
for do_kernel_link_images too.

linux-yocto/4.8: Enable R8169 driver since its needed by supported platforms

2016-10-08T06:45:53+00:00

    The Realtek 8169 driver is needed by the Minnowboard MAX, one of the
    boards we currently support, since some of our images do not contain
    modules by default, the network isnt working on genericx86, genericx86-64
    and intel-core2-32 (meta-intel) when no modules are installed.

    This patch fixes network on images not containing modules when
    using the previously mentioned MACHINES for this board.
