linux: Update version from 5.1.1 to 5.1.2
[Announcement][1]: > I'm announcing the release of the 5.1.2 kernel. > > All users of the 5.1 kernel series must upgrade. Well, kind of, let me rephrase that... > > All users of Intel processors made since 2011 must upgrade. > > Note, this release, and the other stable releases that are all being > released right now at the same time, just went out all contain patches > that have only seen the "public eye" for about 5 minutes. So be > forwarned, they might break things, they might not build, but hopefully > they fix things. Odds are we will be fixing a number of small things in > this area for the next few weeks as things shake out on real hardware > and workloads. So don't think you are done updating your kernel, you > never are done with that :) > > As for what specifically these changes fix, I'll let the tech news sites > fill you in on the details. Or go read the excellently written Xen > Security Advisory 297: > https://xenbits.xen.org/xsa/advisory-297.html > That should give you a good idea of what a number of people have been > dealing with for many many many months now. > > Many thanks goes out to Thomas Gleixner for going above and beyond to do > the backports to the 5.1, 5.0, 4.19, and 4.14 kernel trees, and to Ben > Hutchings for doing the 4.9 work. And of course to all of the > developers who have been working on this in secret and doing reviews of > the many different proposals and versions of the patches. > > As I said before just over a year ago, Intel once again owes a bunch of > people a lot of drinks for fixing their hardware bugs, in our > software... > > Anyway, as usual, the updated 5.1.y git tree can be found at: > git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git linux-5.1.y > and can be browsed at the normal kernel.org git web browser: > https://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git;a=summary [1]: https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/5/14/651
