[linux-yocto] v4.12.x - stable updates comprising v4.12.27

[Paul Gortmaker]

Bruce, Yocto kernel folks:

Here is another 4.12.x stable update "extension" primarily created for
the Yocto project, continuing on top of the previous v4.12.26 kernel.

Hopefully people using 4.12.x are already getting their plans in place
to moving to a newer kernel in the near future, as the number of
additional 4.12.x releases that I do will probably be limited to a
couple more over the next month or so.

This is the second release in a row with the normal "one issue -- one
commit" type of stable content, which is nice.  There are about 125
commits here, based on commits chosen from what was used in existing
4.14.x stable releases.

I've put this 4.12.x queue through the usual testing that I figured made
sense, which is in line with that listed explicitly in previous release
announcements.

I did the signed tag just as per the previously released 4.12.x versions.

Please find a signed v4.12.27 tag using this key:

http://pgp.mit.edu/pks/lookup?op=vindex&search=0xEBCE84042C07D1D6

in the repo in the kernel.org directory here:

   https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/paulg/linux-4.12.y.git/
   git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulg/linux-4.12.y.git

for merge to standard/base in linux-yocto-4.12 and then out from there
into the other base and BSP branches.

For those who are interested, the evolution of the commits is here:

   https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/paulg/longterm-queue-4.12.git/

This repo isn't needed for anything; it just exists for transparency and
so people can see the evolution of the raw commits that were originally
selected to create this 4.12.x release.

Paul.
