This allows to set queueing disciplines different than a simple fifo,
like fq_codel, which is the default in systemd since quite some time.
NET_SCHED is already set in the kernels x86_64_defconfig, but not on
arm/aarch64, so let's set it here.
These enable some power management settings. They are needed for [s-tui
to show power readings](https://github.com/amanusk/s-tui/issues/105).
The values chosen here match what Arch Linux has. In particular
the Intel specific code is loadable as a module rather than compiled in.
Fixes https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/58070, and brings NixOS
into line with Ubuntu/Fedora/Arch/etc.
Tested that all kernels in Nixpkgs that build before this change build
after it.
To quote block/Kconfig:
> Builds Logic for interfacing with Opal enabled controllers.
> Enabling this option enables users to setup/unlock/lock
> Locking ranges for SED devices using the Opal protocol.
Without `BLK_SED_OPAL`, it is impossible to resume from sleep when using
a locked self-encrypting drive.
This configuration option appeared in earlier kernels, but only reached
maturity in 4.14 according to discussion at:
- https://github.com/Drive-Trust-Alliance/sedutil/issues/90 and
- https://github.com/Drive-Trust-Alliance/sedutil/pull/190
This kernel option is enabled in the default kernels shipped with
Fedora, Debian, and other mainstream Linux distributions.
This should make the composability of kernel configurations more straigthforward.
- now distinguish freeform options from tristate ones
- will look for a structured config in kernelPatches too
one can now access the structuredConfig from a kernel via linux_test.configfile.structuredConfig
in order to reinject it into another kernel, no need to rewrite the config from scratch
The following merge strategies are used in case of conflict:
-- freeform items must be equal or they conflict (mergeEqualOption)
-- for tristate (y/m/n) entries, I use the mergeAnswer strategy which takes the best available value, "best" being defined by the user (by default "y" > "m" > "n", e.g. if one entry is both marked "y" and "n", "y" wins)
-- if one item is both marked optional/mandatory, mandatory wins (mergeFalseByDefault)
Instead of using a string to describe kernel config, use a nix
attribute set, then converted to a string.
- allows to override the config, aka convert 'yes' into 'modules' or
vice-versa
- while for now merging different configs is still crude (last spec wins),
at least there should be only one CONFIG_XYZ value compared to the current string
config where the first defined would be used and others ignored.
