Hi all,
I have a newbie question. I’m using a 3.18.66 kernel branch from Qualcomm. Over the year I’ve applied some of patched here and there manually.
But It seems Qualcomm does not patch lot of newly released vulnerabilities. I would love to upgrade to the latest 3.18.138 (not 4.x)
What is the best practice here?
Merge your branch with the android-common 3.18 branch, and try to run that. Note, there will be some conflicts, and I think there's a random qualcomm branch somewhere on code aurora somewhere that has those problems resolved if you have problems with them. good luck, it's possible to do (I have a phone running the latest 3.18 release on it with a qcom chipset), but it all depends on exactly what device you have as to how easy/hard it is going to be! greg k-h
