- rediffed most of patches, renamed files to easify further rediffs by git format-patch
- thanks to abf.io/kernels_stable for some patches for kernel 5.9
- using unofficial patch for AUFS for kernel 5.10, there may be issues with stability, try to avoid using AUFS (I would have dropped it, but MagOS wants it very much)
- pulled updates of AltHa from http://git.altlinux.org/gears/k/kernel-image-un-def.git?p=kernel-image-un-def.git;a=history;f=security/altha;hb=HEAD
- dropped patch adding sysctl to disable disk-based swap because it has not found any usage
- bpf is now in the list of LSM modules (ability to write LSM modules as BPF programs), enable it, it is potentially useful and does not seem to be harmful
- keeping kernel libc headers in older kernels for now
- dropped building external virtualbox guest modules because they are now included into the mainline kernel
- offed building VirtualBox host modules, I do not know how to keep these binary modules in sync with userspace part of VirtualBox, users can continue using dkms
- offed building kernel-shredder because it is not buildable on kernel 5.10
- updated rtl8821ce and added a dependency from its "blacklist" subpackage here (see https://github.com/tomaspinho/rtl8821ce/commit/14b536f0)
It is not clear if kernel 5.10 will receive an LTS support longer than 5.4 or not. Support until Dec, 2022 is declared right now at https://www.kernel.org/category/releases.html for 5.10 and until Dec, 2025 - for 5.4.
TODO: update kernel configs
TODO: solve problems with version of virtualbox host modules not matching version of the virtualbox package after virtualbox is updated but kernel is not rebuilt
Earlier, the patches were kept in the respective branches of a separate
project, https://abf.io/soft/kernel-patches-and-configs. And before that -
in the custom tarballs.
Now all the patches are kept here along with the spec file and are
applied the default way rather than by separate scripts. This should
make the maintenance of the patches as well as the experiments with the
new ones a lot easier.
The previous scheme seemed to offer a bit more flexibility (different
patch sets for different cases) at the cost of maintenance. But as it
turned out, that flexibility was not worth it and was rarely used,
at most.
