Upgrade to 4.4.50-rt62
The current kernel is based on rt kernel v4.4.6-rt14. We will upgrade it
to 4.4.50-rt62.
The command to achieve it is:
a) Clone a git repo from
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rt/linux-stable-rt.git
b) Get the diff between this two changesets:
git diff 640eca2901f3435e616157b11379d3223a44b391
705619beeea1b0b48219a683fd1a901a86fdaf5e
where the two commits are:
[yjiang5@jnakajim-build linux-stable-rt]$ git show --oneline --name-only
640eca2901f3435e616157b11379d3223a44b391
640eca2901f3 v4.4.6-rt14
localversion-rt
[yjiang5@jnakajim-build linux-stable-rt]$ git show --oneline --name-only
705619beeea1b0b48219a683fd1a901a86fdaf5e
705619beeea1 Linux 4.4.50-rt62
localversion-rt
c) One patch has been backported thus revert the patch before applying.
