Changelog:
===========
- Improvements
- Allow passing a path to modprobe so the module is loaded from
anywhere from the filesystem, but still handling the module
dependencies recorded in the indexes.
- Use in-kernel decompression if available.
- Make modprobe fallback to syslog when stderr is not available, as was
documented in the man page, but not implemented
- Better explaing `modprobe -r` and how it differentiates from rmmod
- depmod learned a `-o <dir>` option to allow using a separate output
directory.
- Add compat with glibc >= 2.32.9000 that dropped __xstat
- Improve testsuite to stop skipping tests when sysconfdir is something
other than /etc
- Build system improvements and updates
- Change a few return codes from -ENOENT to -ENODATA to avoid confusing output
in depmod when the module itself lacks a particular ELF section due to e.g.
CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=n in the kernel.
- Bug Fixes
- Fix testsuite using uninitialized memory when testing module removal
with --wait
- Fix testsuite not correctly overriding the stat syscall on 32-bit
platforms. For most architectures this was harmless, but for MIPS it
was causing some tests to fail.
- Fix handling unknown signature algorithm
- Fix linking with a static liblzma, libzstd or zlib
- Fix memory leak when removing module holders
- Fix out-of-bounds access when using very long paths as argument to rmmod
- Fix warnings reported by UBSan

Poky
Poky is an integration of various components to form a pre-packaged build system and development environment which is used as a development and validation tool by the Yocto Project. It features support for building customised embedded style device images and custom containers. There are reference demo images ranging from X11/GTK+ to Weston, commandline and more. The system supports cross-architecture application development using QEMU emulation and a standalone toolchain and SDK suitable for IDE integration.
Additional information on the specifics of hardware that Poky supports is available in README.hardware. Further hardware support can easily be added in the form of BSP layers which extend the systems capabilities in a modular way. Many layers are available and can be found through the layer index.
As an integration layer Poky consists of several upstream projects such as BitBake, OpenEmbedded-Core, Yocto documentation, the 'meta-yocto' layer which has configuration and hardware support components. These components are all part of the Yocto Project and OpenEmbedded ecosystems.
The Yocto Project has extensive documentation about the system including a reference manual which can be found at https://docs.yoctoproject.org/
OpenEmbedded is the build architecture used by Poky and the Yocto project. For information about OpenEmbedded, see the OpenEmbedded website.
Contribution Guidelines
Please refer to our contributor guide here: https://docs.yoctoproject.org/dev/contributor-guide/ for full details on how to submit changes.
Where to Send Patches
As Poky is an integration repository (built using a tool called combo-layer), patches against the various components should be sent to their respective upstreams:
OpenEmbedded-Core (files in meta/, meta-selftest/, meta-skeleton/, scripts/):
- Git repository: https://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/
- Mailing list: openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org
BitBake (files in bitbake/):
- Git repository: https://git.openembedded.org/bitbake/
- Mailing list: bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org
Documentation (files in documentation/):
- Git repository: https://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/yocto-docs/
- Mailing list: docs@lists.yoctoproject.org
meta-yocto (files in meta-poky/, meta-yocto-bsp/):
- Git repository: https://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-yocto
- Mailing list: poky@lists.yoctoproject.org
If in doubt, check the openembedded-core git repository for the content you intend to modify as most files are from there unless clearly one of the above categories. Before sending, be sure the patches apply cleanly to the current git repository branch in question.
