base-files: resize only serial tty's in profile
[Backported from master.]
We don't want to run resize on non serial consoles. There's
been an earlier attempt (6557787), so this builds upon that.
The problem we're seeing is that if there is text buffered in
the virtual console (like from a desperate user trying to
enter login details), resize will get stuck while calling
ioctl(tty, TCSETAW);
Since serial consoles are named (not just numbered), this
change limits resize's reach even further to run only on
/dev/tty[A-z] (thus avoiding /dev/tty[0-9]).

kernel-yocto: explicitly trap subcommand errors
To trap errors and halt processing, do_kernel_metadata was recently
switched to exit on any non zero return code. While the concept is
sound, there are subcommands that have legitimate non-zero return
codes.
Instead of removing set +e, we'll explicitly check the return code
of the commands that can error, and throw a bbfatal to alert the
user.

Use weak assignment for SERIAL_CONSOLES in qemu configuration files
Use weak assignment for SERIAL_CONSOLES in qemu configuration files so that
the value could serve as a default value and could be easily overridden in
configuration files like local.conf.
When using the default value for SERIAL_CONSOLES in qemux86-64,we would have
annoying messages on console complaining about respawning getty on ttyS1.
Although the value is set by purpose, at least we need to provide an easy way
to override it.

grub2: fix some quirks and div by zero
Rather than erroring out on a single attempt while
terminating EFI services, make a few retries because
such quirks are found in a few implementations.
Also fix a div by zero issue in the same framework
which causes an infinite reboot on the target.
Both patches included here are backports.

We need to avoid using shared/common directories for any files that are

This CallTrace occurred on 32-bit kernel with CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING

This happens at ixgbe driver probe hardware stage, when comes to
ixgbe_get_stats64, the seqcount/seqlock still not initialize, although
this was initialize in TX/RX resources setup routin, but it was too late,
then lockdep give this Warning.
To fix this, move the u64_stats_init function to driver probe stage,
which before we get the status of seqcount and after the RX/TX ring
was finished init.

kernel-yocto: exit on non-zero return code
Historically the processing of kernel meta data contained some
commands that exited with a non-zero return code. Special processing
was required to properly deal with their exit.
That is no longer true, and instead of handling all return codes
and doing an explicit 'exit' call, we can remove set -e from the
routine and have all errors be trapped and stop processing.
To provide useful error messages the tools dump pre-processed
files and messages to a temporary file. If multiple users are
doing builds, this means they either race, or can have permissions
issues.
By creating the temporary file via mktemp, we avoid both issues.
(We also make sure to clean these up on exit, or /tmp will get
polluted quickly).
patch: do not assume a branch specific patch queue is needed
When processing input files per-branch and global patch queues are
generated. If the meta-data has not created any branches in the
repo, no branch specific queue is required.
The tools assumed that one is always valid, and hence would throw a
non-zero exit code and stop processing.
By testing for a named per-branch queue, we avoid this issue.
