2019-08-28common: remove unused linux-yocto_4.4 & linux-yocto-rt_4.4 recipesArsalan H. Awan
This removes the linux-yocto_4.4 & linux-yocto-rt_4.4 kernel recipes as we don't need them anymore. This also sets the PREFERRED_VERSION_linux-yocto ?= "4.14%" as default kernel for all bsps. We still have snowyowl and v1000 using the 4.14 kernel. r1000 has moved to 4.19 kernel. Signed-off-by: Arsalan H. Awan <Arsalan_Awan@mentor.com>
2016-11-23linux-yocto: pick up random optimizationsAwais Belal
This enables the chacha20 scheme of random number generator which is way more optimized and efficient from the legacy non-blocking pool. This helps providing a steady and more robust random mechanism which allows for better boot times and other positives. The included patch has been back ported from linux-yocto 4.8 tree and adjusted accordingly.
