1. linux: Add stable version 4.8.12 …

   Do as Greg says [1]:
   
   > All users of the 4.8 kernel series must upgrade.
   
   Changes for Linux 4.8.12 [2][3]:
   
   > A few moments ago, Greg Kroah-Hartman announced the release of the
   > twelfth maintenance update of the Linux 4.8 kernel series, as well as
   > the availability of Linux kernel 4.4.36 LTS.
   >
   > Only five days have passed since the release of Linux kernel 4.8.11,
   > which most GNU/Linux distributions that are using the latest and most
   > advanced Linux 4.8 branch did not even receive, as is the case of Solus
   > and openSUSE Tumbleweed, and Linux kernel 4.8.12 is already here, which
   > means that OS maintainers need to re-compile the new version, tweak it
   > for their supported architectures, and push it to the repos.
   >
   > However, according to the appended shortlog and the diff since Linux
   > kernel 4.8.11, it looks like Linux kernel 4.8.12 changes a total of 52
   > files, with 390 insertions and 204 deletions, which means that it's not
   > a major update. There are mostly architecture improvements for PA-RISC,
   > PowerPC (PPC), Tile, and x86, updated drivers, and a few networking
   > changes.

   > "I'm announcing the release of the 4.8.12 kernel. All users of the 4.8
   > kernel series must upgrade," said Greg Kroah-Hartman. "The updated 4.8.y
   > git tree can be found at:
   > git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git
   > linux-4.8.y and can be browsed at the normal kernel.org git web browser:
   > http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git;a=summary."
   >
   > "Users of the Linux 4.8 kernel series are urged to update"
   >
   > DAX, IOMMU, MMC, SCSI, Intel PowerClamp Thermal, and USB are among the
   > updated drivers included in the Linux 4.8.12 kernel release. The
   > array-bounds warning has been hidden for the NFS file system, and the
   > networking stack was updated with a couple of wireless improvements. It
   > looks like there's also an AppArmor change for improved security, a few
   > KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) changes, and a mm fix.
   >
   > If you're using a GNU/Linux distribution powered by a kernel from the
   > Linux 4.8 series, you are urged to update to today's Linux kernel 4.8.12
   > point release as soon as possible, or more precisely as soon as it lands
   > in the stable repositories of your favorite operating system. OS vendors
   > and power users can download the Linux 4.8.12 kernel source archive
   > right now from kernel.org or via our website.
