For kernel's that use a split source/object build the copy
of defconfig to {S} in the base kernel class is problematic.
The previous solution for this was to override the do_configure
of the base kernel class in a subclass. While this is still
a viable/valid option, it does mean that changes to the base
do_configure will be missed.
The solution to this is to copy a defconfig to {B} which is
typically the same as {S}, so most kernel recipes won't see or
care about this change.
With this change in place, linux-yocto.bbclass can drop its
override of do_configure.
Tested with linux-yocto and oe linux recipes.

Poky
Poky is an integration of various components to form a complete prepackaged build system and development environment. It features support for building customised embedded device style images. There are reference demo images featuring a X11/Matchbox/GTK themed UI called Sato. The system supports cross-architecture application development using QEMU emulation and a standalone toolchain and SDK with 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 layers which extend the systems capabilities in a modular way.
As an integration layer Poky consists of several upstream projects such as BitBake, OpenEmbedded-Core, Yocto documentation and various sources of information e.g. for the hardware support. Poky is in turn a component of the Yocto Project.
The Yocto Project has extensive documentation about the system including a reference manual which can be found at: http://yoctoproject.org/community/documentation
