Ross Burton 471e51b18a linux-yocto: add script to generate kernel CVE_CHECK_WHITELIST entries
Instead of manually looking up new CVEs and determining what point
releases the fixes are incorporated into, add a script to generate the
CVE_CHECK_WHITELIST data automatically.

First, note that this is very much an interim solution until the
cve-check class fetches data from www.linuxkernelcves.com directly.

The script should be passed the path to a local clone of the
linuxkernelcves repository[1] and the kernel version number. It will
then write to standard output the CVE_STATUS entries for every known
kernel CVE.

The script should be periodically reran as CVEs are backported and
kernels upgraded frequently.

Note: for the Dunfell backport this is not a cherry-pick of the commit
in master as the variable names are different. This incorporates the
following commits:

linux/generate-cve-exclusions: add version check warning
linux/generate-cve-exclusions.py: fix comparison
linux-yocto: add script to generate kernel CVE_STATUS entries

QEMU Emulation Targets
======================

To simplify development, the build system supports building images to
work with the QEMU emulator in system emulation mode. Several architectures
are currently supported in 32 and 64 bit variants:

  * ARM (qemuarm + qemuarm64)
  * x86 (qemux86 + qemux86-64)
  * PowerPC (qemuppc only)
  * MIPS (qemumips + qemumips64)

Use of the QEMU images is covered in the Yocto Project Reference Manual.
The appropriate MACHINE variable value corresponding to the target is given
in brackets.
