kernel config rewrites: carve out felt safe-to-merge rewrites from CI - #10515
Conversation
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThis pull request updates Linux kernel configuration profiles across many platforms. It changes F2FS, ATH9K_HTC, USB/IP, CRC32C, networking, display, tracing, filesystem, crypto, and generated-defconfig settings. ChangesKernel configuration updates
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to This PR changes kernel defaults in ways that can disable IPv6 tunneling, EROFS on-demand support, K1 I2C peripherals, BPF LSM activation, and LED trigger functionality on affected platforms.

Both loong64 profiles carry a corrupted LSM order: current: CONFIG_LSM="landlockdown,yama,integrity,apparmor" edge: CONFIG_LSM="lalockdown,yama,integrity,apparmor" Neither "landlockdown" nor "lalockdown" is an LSM name, so the kernel ignores the entry. Both profiles build landlock (CONFIG_SECURITY_LANDLOCK=y), and on loong64 it has never actually been activated because the only thing naming it in the order list was garbled. Restoring the name is the point of this change; lockdown is inert either way, since armbian-kernel.sh disables SECURITY_LOCKDOWN_LSM for every build. The repaired string matches what linux-uefi-x86-current and linux-genio-vendor already use verbatim. Present since fb363e8 ("add initial loong64 support"). Unrelated to the config rewrites in this PR, but it is a one-line-per-file fix in files the PR already touches. Signed-off-by: Igor Pecovnik <igor@armbian.com>

Checked every On the two open CodeRabbit comments — I looked at both and I don't think either needs a change in this PR:
