In order to extend and create more kernel recipes based on the
supported yocto kernel common routines need to be placed in
re-usable blocks.
To accomplish this meta/recipes-kernel/linux/linux-yocto_git.bb
is broken into three parts:
- meta/classes/kernel-yocto.bbclass: contains common routines
for checking out and configuring a yocto kernel git repository.
This should be inherited by recipes that need this functionality.
- meta/recipes-kernel/linux/linux-yocto.inc: Contains the machine
mappings, compatibility, build directives and common task
definitions for a yocto kernel based recipe. This inherits
kernel-yocto, and is the typical point of entry for other recipes.
- meta/recipes-kernel/linux/linuux-tools.inc: tasks and function definitions
for kernel recipes that want to build/export perf
It also updates the linux-yocto recipe to default to 2.6.37.
As part of the update to 2.6.37 the branch naming and conventions
have been modified to show inheritance, and be more generic.
For example:
master
meta
yocto/base
yocto/standard/arm_versatile_926ejs
yocto/standard/base
yocto/standard/beagleboard
yocto/standard/common_pc/atom-pc
yocto/standard/common_pc/base
yocto/standard/common_pc_64
yocto/standard/fsl-mpc8315e-rdb
yocto/standard/intel_atom_z530
yocto/standard/intel_core_qm57_pch
yocto/standard/mti_malta32_be
yocto/standard/preempt_rt/base
yocto/standard/preempt_rt/common_pc
yocto/standard/preempt_rt/common_pc_64
yocto/standard/preempt_rt/intel_atom_z530
yocto/standard/preempt_rt/intel_core_qm57_pch
yocto/standard/qemu_ppc32
yocto/standard/routerstationpro
In this structure:
master: tracks the mainline kernel
meta: meta information for the BSPs and kernel features
yocto/base: baseline kernel branch
yocto/standard/base: 'standard' kernel, contains features
and configs for all BSPs
yocto/standard/<machine>: represents a BSP with specific
features or configurations
The tools, tree and libc-headers have all been updated to
deal with this new structure. Also in addition to dealing with
the new structure, they continue to work with the existing
tree and will adapt at runtime to the differences.
The linux-yocto-stable_git.bb recipe continues to build the
2.6.34 based tree,and linux-yocto_git.bb builds 2.6.37. As
boards are enabled for the new kernel they will move from
-stable to the development kernel. As of now, only the
emulated targets have moved to 2.6.37-rcX

The existing preferred yocto kernel wasn't named appropriately
and needs to be updated.
In keeping the changes small and isolated, this commit simply
renames the recipe and some internal variables. Future commits
will refactor the code into more usable blocks.
Now that linuy-wrs has been renamed linux-yocto, we need
to rename and update an board configurations and append
files.
Now that linux-wrs has been renamed linux-yocto, we need to
update the SRCREVs to have the new name.

This layer provides a kernel suitable for booting on eMenlow-based systems,
plus support for Poulsbo graphics. The Poulsbo support includes a
kernel patch for the graphics driver, a couple of libraries, the 2D
and 3D X drivers, and a properly configured X server.
The closed portions of this support are in the 3D driver, xpsb-glx.
This package contains the binaries for the libraries that communicate
with the kernel driver and a mesa library which uses those libraries.
There is a README in meta-emenlow/ describing how to enable this layer.
Where possible, the recipes use bitbake's new .bbappend facility in
order to avoid copying recipes from meta/.
There are checksums and license information for all of the new packages.
