After mulling this over for a few months, I think I + was looking at the problem in the wrong way. First of all, it's clear that + some Slackware users have been using the huge kernel all along, without an + initrd, and are (to say the least) unhappy about the prospect of a new + requirement to start using one. I've been recommending the generic kernel for + some time, and a major reason is that we've been using the same set of kernel + modules with two slightly different kernels. Because of this, there have + always been a few (generally seldom used) kernel modules that won't load into + the huge kernel. These are things that aren't built into the huge kernel, but + because of a difference in some kernel module dependency, they won't load. + The conclusion that I've come to here is that rather than drop the huge + kernel, or slap a LOCALVERSION on it and provide a whole duplicate tree of + kernel modules especially for the huge kernel, it would be better to make the + generic kernel more huge, and minimize the differences between the two kernel + configs. + That's what I've done here. + Shown below are the differences between the previous generic kernel config + and the one shipping in this update. You'll notice that most of the popular + filesystems are built in. At this point the main difference it that the huge + kernel has a couple of dozen SCSI drivers built into it. The modules for those + drivers won't load into the huge kernel, but they're fully built in so that + doesn't matter. If you find any other modules that will not load into the huge + kernel, please make a note about it on LQ and I'll see what can be done. + So, tl;dr - what does this change mean? + Unless your root device is on SCSI, if you were able to use the huge kernel + without an initrd previously, you should now be able to use the generic + kernel without an initrd. The kernel is a bit bigger, but we probably have + enough RAM these days that it won't make a difference. + Enjoy! :-) + -CIFS_SMB_DIRECT n + 9P_FS m -> y + 9P_FSCACHE n -> y + BTRFS_FS m -> y + CIFS m -> y + CRYPTO_CMAC m -> y + CRYPTO_CRC32 m -> y + CRYPTO_XXHASH m -> y + CRYPTO_ZSTD m -> y + EFIVAR_FS m -> y + EXFAT_FS m -> y + EXT2_FS m -> y + EXT3_FS m -> y + EXT4_FS m -> y + F2FS_FS m -> y + FAILOVER m -> y + FAT_FS m -> y + FSCACHE m -> y + FS_ENCRYPTION_ALGS m -> y + FS_MBCACHE m -> y + HW_RANDOM_VIRTIO m -> y + ISO9660_FS m -> y + JBD2 m -> y + JFS_FS m -> y + LZ4HC_COMPRESS m -> y + LZ4_COMPRESS m -> y + MSDOS_FS m -> y + NETFS_SUPPORT m -> y + NET_9P m -> y + NET_9P_FD m -> y + NET_9P_VIRTIO m -> y + NET_FAILOVER m -> y + NFSD m -> y + NLS_CODEPAGE_437 m -> y + NTFS3_FS m -> y + NTFS_FS m -> y + PSTORE_LZ4_COMPRESS n -> m + PSTORE_LZO_COMPRESS n -> m + PSTORE_ZSTD_COMPRESS n -> y + QFMT_V2 m -> y + QUOTA_TREE m -> y + REISERFS_FS m -> y + RPCSEC_GSS_KRB5 m -> y + SMBFS m -> y + SQUASHFS m -> y + UDF_FS m -> y + VFAT_FS m -> y + VIRTIO_BALLOON m -> y + VIRTIO_BLK m -> y + VIRTIO_CONSOLE m -> y + VIRTIO_INPUT m -> y + VIRTIO_MMIO m -> y + VIRTIO_NET m -> y + VIRTIO_PCI m -> y + VIRTIO_PCI_LIB m -> y + VIRTIO_PCI_LIB_LEGACY m -> y + VIRTIO_PMEM m -> y + XFS_FS m -> y + ZONEFS_FS n -> m + ZSTD_COMPRESS m -> y + +NFS_FSCACHE y + +PSTORE_LZ4_COMPRESS_DEFAULT n + +PSTORE_LZO_COMPRESS_DEFAULT n + +PSTORE_ZSTD_COMPRESS_DEFAULT n +kde/plasma-workspace-5.27.9.1-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded. +l/glib2-2.78.1-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded. +l/netpbm-11.04.03-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded. +l/newt-0.52.24-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded. +n/gpgme-1.23.0-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded. +n/p11-kit-0.25.1-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded. +n/php-8.2.12-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded. + This is a bugfix release. + For more information, see: + https://www.php.net/ChangeLog-8.php#8.2.12 +x/xorg-server-21.1.9-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded. + This update fixes security issues: + OOB write in XIChangeDeviceProperty/RRChangeOutputProperty. + Use-after-free bug in DestroyWindow. + For more information, see: + https://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-announce/2023-October/003430.html + https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2023-5367 + https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2023-5380 + (* Security fix *) +x/xorg-server-xephyr-21.1.9-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded. +x/xorg-server-xnest-21.1.9-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded. +x/xorg-server-xvfb-21.1.9-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded. +x/xorg-server-xwayland-23.2.2-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded. + This update fixes a security issue: + OOB write in XIChangeDeviceProperty/RRChangeOutputProperty. + For more information, see: + https://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-announce/2023-October/003430.html + https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2023-5367 + (* Security fix *) +xap/mozilla-thunderbird-115.4.1-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded. + This release contains security fixes and improvements. + For more information, see: + https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/115.4.1/releasenotes/ + https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/security/advisories/mfsa2023-47/ + https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2023-5721 + https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2023-5732 + https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2023-5724 + https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2023-5725 + https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2023-5726 + https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2023-5727 + https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2023-5728 + https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2023-5730 + (* Security fix *) +xfce/thunar-4.18.8-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded. +isolinux/initrd.img: Rebuilt. +kernels/*: Upgraded. +usb-and-pxe-installers/usbboot.img: Rebuilt. + </pre>]]> + </description> + </item> + <item> <title>Tue, 24 Oct 2023 22:26:20 GMT</title> <pubDate>Tue, 24 Oct 2023 22:26:20 GMT</pubDate> <link>https://git.slackware.nl/current/tag/?h=20231024222620</link> |
