kernel-dev: Fix the locations of .config and source directory

2016-06-06T21:53:35+00:00

The locations of the kernel .config file and source direcotry moved a couple releases ago. Updated the documentation accordingly. Also added a note explaining how to check the expansion of variables, which servs a couple of purposes: * For curious readers, shows them how to understand where these variables come from and how they are used. * For suspicious readers, shows them how they can verify that the variables in the documentation are actually correct.

kernel-dev: Applied review comments to "Adding Recipe-Space Kernel Features"

2016-04-06T22:11:58+00:00

Fixes [YOCTO #4047] I went through and fixed a few areas where reviewers said there was "quirky" phrasing. They might have been right in a few places. (From yocto-docs rev: 66fb97838f338ed3f787ec18f62702ef726ceffc) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

2016-04-06T22:11:57+00:00

kernel-dev: Updated the "Kernel Metadata Location" section.

2016-04-06T22:11:57+00:00

Fixes [YOCTO #8272] I re-wrote the section to basically consider kernel metadata coming from either inside the recipe (recipe-space) or from outside the recipe, which would be like a "kernel-cache". The re-write eliminated the term "in-tree" regarding where kernel metadata could reside.
