This kernel targets Linux 4.14 LTS as its base, with 4.19 stable patches tracked as upstream backports. This PR updates the ELTS (Extended Long-Term Support) patch tracking infrastructure to reflect a 4.19 LTS base instead.

Changes

  • Makefile: Bump PATCHLEVEL 14 → 19, SUBLEVEL 355 → 322 (latest tracked 4.19.x)
  • .elts/meta/4.19.305–322.yaml (new): Promote 4.19.x patches to base-level tracking. Derived from the upstream YAML files — includes only commits present in the branch (either via backport: or skipped: commit is already present in branch); entries use canonical 4.19 commit hashes without the old backport/upstream cross-reference fields
  • .elts/meta/4.14.337–355.yaml (deleted): Remove obsolete 4.14 stable patch tracking
  • .elts/upstream/4.19.305–322.yaml (deleted): Remove old upstream tracking files; these patches are now the base. The upstream/ dir is clear for post-4.19.322 backport tracking

ELTS directory semantics (for reference)

Directory Purpose
.elts/meta/ Stable patches from the current base LTS applied to this branch
.elts/upstream/ Patches from a newer LTS backported into this branch

- Update Makefile: PATCHLEVEL 14->19, SUBLEVEL 355->322
- Add .elts/meta/4.19.305-4.19.322.yaml: promote 4.19 upstream patches to meta (base)
- Remove .elts/meta/4.14.337-4.14.355.yaml: remove obsolete 4.14 patch tracking
- Remove .elts/upstream/4.19.305-4.19.322.yaml: moved to meta level
