Spectre and Meltdown Changes
============================

The new default kernel 4.9.77 contains, among other fixes from the
previous 4.9.57 kernel, a few patches for the recent Meltdown and
Spectre vulnerabilities.  Interested parties are stronly encouraged to
read the entire 4.9.77 changelog:

  https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v4.x/ChangeLog-4.9.77

A brief summary of some important patches:

  Page Table Isolation (aka Meltdown, aka KAISER), now enabled with
  CONFIG_PAGE_TABLE_ISOLATION=y.

  commit 13be4483bb487176c48732b887780630a141ae96
  Author: Richard Fellner <richard.fellner@student.tugraz.at>
  Date:   Thu May 4 14:26:50 2017 +0200

    KAISER: Kernel Address Isolation

  Partial Spectre mitigation, now enabled with CONFIG_RETPOLINE=y.

  commit 2bb5de42f254bf5addedf17c9c25c68d65639b55
  Author: David Woodhouse <dwmw@amazon.co.uk>
  Date:   Thu Jan 11 21:46:25 2018 +0000

    x86/retpoline: Add initial retpoline support

  New vulnerability sysfs directory, now enabled with
  CONFIG_GENERIC_CPU_VULNERABILITIES=y.

  commit 11ec2df9c02071a7c0a63a1febb53e76cdee56ac
  Author: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
  Date:   Sun Jan 7 22:48:00 2018 +0100

    sysfs/cpu: Add vulnerability folder

Note: Full Spectre mitigation support will ultimately require
microcode updates and updates the GCC compiler, which are not included
here.

Minor bug fix release.

This release updates the Lenovo NE10x2 with minor bug fixes.  This is
to help expedite the ONIE certification of these platforms using the
2017.08 ONIE release.

The fix is contained in this commit:

  commit 59147837af504aecea9d1737dbc51142466dad0f
  Author: Pinaki <psarker@lenovo.com>
  Date:   Mon Aug 28 00:45:55 2017 -0700

      Lenovo NE10x2 fixes

      1. Added a patch to detect eMMC card.

      2. Fixed error message during install/update that pops up due to rpmb
         eMMC partition.

      3. Cleaned up and erased each eMMC partition as now discovery
         process looks in local FS for installer/updater.

Documentation Updates
=====================

The ONIE 'wiki' documentation is now back in the repo, where it
started long ago.  Using the github wiki was just too limiting and
looked awful.

The documentation source is kept in the 'docs' branch of the ONIE
repo.

The generated documentation is available here:

  https://opencomputeproject.github.io/onie/

  b7c6e83 docs: Store ONIE documentation in repo
  94f44eb docs: move documentation to separate branch

Build System
============

The build system underwent two major changes this development cycle.

1. Compile common utilities once per toolchain (commit a48f8ad)

  Reduce the build time and storage requirements when compiling
  machines that use the same tool chain.  Here, a toolchain is defined
  by the triplet (GCC version, Linux kernel version, uCLibc version).

  For example this makes building all the Accton (or DELL or Quanta or
  Celestica or ....) x86_64 machines much faster.  Also the storage
  footprint of the build products is greatly reduced:

  http://lists.opencompute.org/pipermail/opencompute-onie/2017-May/001405.html

2. Upgrade toolchain for all CPU architectures to gcc-6.3.0 with uClibc-ng-1.0.22

  Supporting commits:

    4b887c2 x86_64:upgrade toolchain to gcc-6.3.0 with uClibc-ng-1.0.22
    d52fdbb powerpc-softfloat:upgrade toolchain to gcc-6.3.0 with uClibc-ng-1.0.22
    d03174e armv7a:upgrade toolchain to gcc-6.3.0 with uClibc-ng-1.0.22
    c61240f armv8a: update toolchain to gcc-6.3.0 and glibc-2.25

  The old legacy gcc-4.7.3 is dropped (commit b293b8f)

  The "new" legacy gcc version is gcc-4.9.2.

Default Kernel -- 4.9.40
========================

  Move the default Linux kernel major version to 4.9.y:

    34762ad update default kernel to 4.9.33
    02a8c54 kernel: move default version forward to 4.9.35
    e201e60 kernel: bump default kernel from 4.9.35 to 4.9.40

Hooks for Network ASIC drivers
==============================

  Add boot time hook scripts to enable the switching ASIC for front
  panel port network access.  This is infrastructure only, not
  specific ASIC driver support:

    3d4c3ea Add an init hook for starting network ASIC drivers
    e66a592 kvm_x86_64: provide demonstration network-driver initialization

  http://lists.opencompute.org/pipermail/opencompute-onie/2017-April/001387.html

Use DEVTMPFS for /dev nodes
===========================

  Semi-major change in the way /dev nodes are maintained in the
  sysroot.  Previously most nodes were precomputed at build time.
  This change switches to using the kernel's dynamic devtmpfs instead:

    a047959 sysroot: use devtmpfs instead of static /dev node

    2017.08-rc1 Public Release

Major new features:

Additional New Hardware Platforms

  a3568d8 Adding ONIE support on a new Lenovo G8296 platform
  9940029 Add ONIE support to a new Lenovo X86 platform NE10032

Documentation Updates
=====================

The ONIE 'wiki' documentation is now back in the repo, where it
started long ago.  Using the github wiki was just too limiting and
looked awful.

The documentation source is kept in the 'docs' branch of the ONIE
repo.

The generated documentation is available here:

  https://opencomputeproject.github.io/onie/

  b7c6e83 docs: Store ONIE documentation in repo
  94f44eb docs: move documentation to separate branch

Build System
============

The build system underwent two major changes this development cycle.

1. Compile common utilities once per toolchain (commit a48f8ad)

  Reduce the build time and storage requirements when compiling
  machines that use the same tool chain.  Here, a toolchain is defined
  by the triplet (GCC version, Linux kernel version, uCLibc version).

  For example this makes building all the Accton (or DELL or Quanta or
  Celestica or ....) x86_64 machines much faster.  Also the storage
  footprint of the build products is greatly reduced:

  http://lists.opencompute.org/pipermail/opencompute-onie/2017-May/001405.html

2. Upgrade toolchain for all CPU architectures to gcc-6.3.0 with uClibc-ng-1.0.22

  Supporting commits:

    4b887c2 x86_64:upgrade toolchain to gcc-6.3.0 with uClibc-ng-1.0.22
    d52fdbb powerpc-softfloat:upgrade toolchain to gcc-6.3.0 with uClibc-ng-1.0.22
    d03174e armv7a:upgrade toolchain to gcc-6.3.0 with uClibc-ng-1.0.22
    c61240f armv8a: update toolchain to gcc-6.3.0 and glibc-2.25

  The old legacy gcc-4.7.3 is dropped (commit b293b8f)

  The "new" legacy gcc version is gcc-4.9.2.

Default Kernel
==============

  Move the default Linux kernel major version to 4.9.y:

    34762ad update default kernel to 4.9.33
    02a8c54 kernel: move default version forward to 4.9.35

Hooks for Network ASIC drivers
==============================

  Add boot time hook scripts to enable the switching ASIC for front
  panel port network access.  This is infrastructure only, not
  specific ASIC driver support:

    3d4c3ea Add an init hook for starting network ASIC drivers
    e66a592 kvm_x86_64: provide demonstration network-driver initialization

  http://lists.opencompute.org/pipermail/opencompute-onie/2017-April/001387.html

Use DEVTMPFS for /dev nodes
===========================

  Semi-major change in the way /dev nodes are maintained in the
  sysroot.  Previously most nodes were precomputed at build time.
  This change switches to using the kernel's dynamic devtmpfs instead:

    a047959 sysroot: use devtmpfs instead of static /dev node
