We were building the omap-rng driver, because the same block is used
on some recent Marvell chips and HW_RANDOM_OMAP is enabled by default
if ARCH_MVEBU is enabled.
We were also building virtio-rng, but there isn't (so far as I know)
any publicly available emulation of the ARMv5 Marvell chips.
As we're about to include HWRNG drivers to the installer, disable the
whole subsystem for armel/marvell to avoid adding useless drivers.
With this option set, module text and rodata memory areas will be made
read-only. Moreover, non-text memory will be made non-executable. This
provides protection against certain security exploits. Currently, this
option is implicitly enabled in Kconfig for most configurations where it
is possible to enable it. This commit enables the option by default
explictly for all supported targets (except marvell to keep it small)
When set, this generates crash dump after being started by kexec. Useful
for debugging purpose on ARM. As this is already enabled for other arch,
enable it for ARM, as well (except marvell to keep it small).
Nowadays, Raspberry Pi 2 and Rasberry Pi 3 works perfectly fine with
Debian (including the official kernel package or the userland). RPi 1
and RPi Zero have an SoC that contains an armv6-based CPU, this means
that it cannot work with an hardfloat ABI, that is armv7 based. So we
have to use the Debian armel userland for this reason. Both boards are
supported in the mainline linux kernel and not being supported in the
debian-kernel package is the only blocking point that prevent RPI 1 and
RPI Zero from being well supported in an official Debian distribution.
This commit add a new kernel flavour for enabling support for the both
platforms.
- Various config symbols were removed, renamed or split
- HOTPLUG_PCI_SHPC is now boolean, so set it to built-in
- The stack protector config symbols were changed to two booleans
with different names
- Various ancient SCSI drivers were removed
- BT_HCIBTUART and INFINIBAND_CXGB3_DEBUG were removed
- OMAP_DM_TIMER is now an automatic symbol
- Marvell NAND driver was rewritten, so we enable MTD_NAND_MARVELL
instead of MTD_NAND_PXA3xx
- Various netfilter symbols are now boolean instead of tristate
- Drop patches already in 4.16
- Overwrite changes on master to debian/installer, which were also
applied on sid and then changed
- [x86] Fix up dell_smbios configuration; now it's a single driver
selected by DELL_SMBIOS, with DELL_SMBIOS_{SMM,WMI} being boolean
options
- Clean up configuration with kconfigeditor2
Reduce armel image size by:
- Set CONFIG_CRYPTO_MANAGER_DISABLE_TESTS=y
- Change MTD, MTD_CMDLINE_PARTS, RTC_DRV_MV, and SPI_ORION from
built-in to module.
- Disable VT, ZSWAP, RD_BZIP2, and RD_LZMA.
So qnap support is back.
Thanks to Leigh Brown <leigh@solinno.co.uk> for his idea to disable VT.

Extend the size limit for kernel image, from 2097080 to 2729712.
This will break a few qnap devices, but keep other armel devices
running.
Also revert two commits that disabled armel previously:
- [2ed70eb] "Add empty featuresets for armel to help abiupdate script"
- [5f62872] "(Temporarily) disable armel kernel image build"

The abiupdate script bails out currently (since we disabled armel image
builds at least temporarily) with
Retrieve config
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "debian/bin/abiupdate.py", line 224, in <module>
Main(url, url_config, **kw)()

self.update_arch(config, arch)
File "debian/bin/abiupdate.py", line 149, in update_arch
featuresets = config[('base', arch)]['featuresets']
KeyError: 'featuresets'
Possibly this should be handled more gracefully in abiupdate itself, but
workaround the situation first by adding an empty featuressets and
explaining in the comment why we do not build images.
In the long run armel will disapear completely.
Gbp-Dch: Ignore
The armel/marvell kernel size is growing to large and the compressed
image is over the limit.
Given the armel architecture will most likely not be part of Buster,
disable the image build.
Cf. https://lists.debian.org/debian-kernel/2018/01/msg00278.html
- Change CONNECTOR from built-in to module, and disable PROC_EVENTS
- Disable INTEGRITY and dependent options
- video: Disable USB_APPLEDISPLAY, BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE
This still only gets us down to 99.26% of maximum size, so further
changes will be needed soon.
- [alpha] fbdev: Re-enable FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE as built-in
- [armel] fbdev: Explicitly disable FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE, as it can no longer
be a module
- [arm64] Re-enable MMC_QCOM_DML
- Change RC_CORE back to being a module
- power/supply: Enable BATTERY_BQ27XXX and BATTERY_BQ27XXX_HDQ as modules,
replacing W1_SLAVE_BQ27000
Clean up with kconfigeditor2 and delete obsolete symbols.
Change MTD_OF_PARTS, MTD_BLOCK, and MTD_PHYSMAP_OF from built-in
to modules.
And, also change all RTC related except RTC_DRV_MV, which includes
RTC_DRV_DS1307, RTC_DRV_RS5C372, RTC_DRV_PCF8563, RTC_DRV_M41T80,
and RTC_DRV_S35390A, to modules. Because most marvell boards use
RTC_DRV_MV.
This will save about 3MB on linux Image (before compression).
u-boot loader on some armel devices has limitation that:
- kernel image size <= 2MB (already described in
debian/config/armel/defines)
- kernel size after decompression <= 7MB
