kernel: bump 4.9 to 4.9.116

2018-08-01T07:46:59+00:00

Refreshed all patches

Remove upstreamed patches.
- 103-MIPS-ath79-fix-register-address-in-ath79_ddr_wb_flus.patch
- 403-mtd_fix_cfi_cmdset_0002_status_check.patch
- 001-4.11-01-mtd-m25p80-consider-max-message-size-in-m25p80_read.patch
- 001-4.15-08-bcm63xx_enet-correct-clock-usage.patch
- 001-4.15-09-bcm63xx_enet-do-not-write-to-random-DMA-channel-on-B.patch
- 900-gen_stats-fix-netlink-stats-padding.patch

Introduce a new backported patch to address ext4 breakage, introduced in 4.9.112
- backport-4.9/500-ext4-fix-check-to-prevent-initializing-reserved-inod.patch

This patch has been slightly altered to compensate for a new helper function
introduced in later kernels.

Also add ARM64_SSBD symbol to ARM64 targets still running kernel 4.9

layerscape: enable QorIQ thermal driver

2018-07-30T08:53:57+00:00

This provides access to the CPU die temperature sensor and
the thermal throttling integration

kernel: only optimized for size if small_flash

2018-07-12T16:15:32+00:00

Add a new config option to allow to select the default compile
optimization level for the kernel.

Select the optimization for size by default if the small_flash feature is
set. Otherwise "Optimize for performance" is set.

Add the small_flash feature flag to all (sub)targets which had the
optimization for size in their default kernel config.

Remove CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_* symbols from all kernel configs to apply the new
setting.

Exceptions to the above are:

  - lantiq, where the optimization for size is only required for the
    xway_legacy subtarget but was set for the whole target
  - mediatek, ramips/mt7620 & ramips/mt76x8 where boards should have
    plenty of space and an optimization for size doesn't make much sense
  - rb532, which has 128MByte flash

kernel: remove DEVMEM and DEVKMEM from target's config

2018-07-07T16:19:39+00:00

These options are handled by generic configuration

Targets that need these options should select KERNEL_DEVMEM
and/or KERNEL_DEVKMEM options on OpenWRT's config

kernel: add missing config symbols

2018-04-27T19:34:00+00:00

The harden branch predictor was backported for arm64 with 4.9.92-96.

layerscape: support ubifs rootfs

2018-02-13T09:01:51+00:00

Some layerscape devices (ls1012ardb/ls1012afrdm/ls1046ardb/ls1088ardb)
were using ext4 rootfs because there were issues using squashfs.
This patch is to drop using ext4 rootfs and use ubifs rootfs instead
which is more proper for SPI-NOR flash.

layerscape: remove USB configs for 64-bit

2018-02-13T09:01:50+00:00

Removed USB configs for 64-bit device since they're
already in kmod package.

target: disable CONFIG_PROC_PAGE_MONITOR on most targets

2018-01-13T14:04:15+00:00

Disable CONFIG_PROC_PAGE_MONITOR in most places and only keep it enabled
for virtual targets such as malta or potent ones like x86.

This saves up to 4KB of uncompressed kernel size and significantly
decreases CPU load under certain workloads.

kernel: move CONFIG_KASAN to generic config

2018-01-02T19:55:46+00:00

While bumping 4.14, the kernel build failed due to missing CONFIG_KASAN
symbol. Move it to generic config instead of defining it for all arm64
and x86/64 targets.

It was only added in 4.0, so not needed in config-3.18.

layerscape: enable CONFIG_CRYPTO_ARC4 in kernel 4.9

2017-11-14T11:55:20+00:00

This patch is to enable CONFIG_CRYPTO_ARC4 in kernel 4.9
which is a dependency for mac80211 package.
