Given that, it seems sensible to drop it from default inclusion across
the BSPs. I've left the feature itself, so anyone who still cares can
easily manually add it still.

Subject: x86-64: separate out the NUMA features to our existing NUMA scc/cfg
Date: Thu, 30 Nov 2023 14:07:45 -0500
A user reported getting NUMA warnings like the ones reported here:
https://www.suse.com/support/kb/doc/?id=000021040
"Fail to get numa node for CPU:0 bus:0 dev:0 fn:1"
...and repeated for every core on the platform. Distracting.
When I asked if it was a crazy big server system with multiple CPU
sockets and localized RAM near each socket - the answer was "no".
Turns out they didn't choose NUMA support - rather we did it for them.
Yocto has been and still remains more "embedded leaning". That is not
to say we can't support NUMA. We just shouldn't be enabling it by
default in the base x86-64 config fragment that everyone uses.
Move the two NUMA settings that were not in our existing numa.cfg
feature out of the BSP and into the feature.

Subject: x86-64: consolidate crypto options

No functional change - just makes further reorganizations and
refactoring more easy to review/parse.

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.
