Also revert to using the grsecurity-scrape mirror; relying on upstream
just isn't viable. Lately, updates have been so frequent that a new
version is released before Hydra even gets around to building the
previous one.
From now on, only the testing branch of grsecurity will be supported.
Additionally, use only patches from upstream.
It's impossible to provide meaningful support for grsecurity stable.
First, because building and testing \(m \times n \times z) [1], packages
is infeasible. Second, because stable patches are only available from
upstream for-pay, making us reliant on third-parties for patches. In
addition to creating yet more work for the maintainers, using stable
patches provided by a third-party goes against the wishes of upstream.
nixpkgs provides the tools necessary to build grsecurity kernels for any
version the user chooses, however, provided they pay for, or otherwise
acquire, the patch themselves.
Eventually, we'll want to remove the now obsolete top-level attributes,
but leave them in for now to smoothe migration (they have been removed
from top-level/release.nix, though, because it makes no sense to have
them there).
[1]: where \(m\) is the number of grsecurity flavors, \(n\) is the
number of kernel versions, and z is the size of the `linuxPackages` set
Patch drivers/crypto/qat/qat_common/Makefile so that qat_asym_algs.o
explicitly depends on headers qat_rsaprivkey-asn1.h and qat_rsapubkey-asn1.h
Hopefully fixes#14595
This allows to create overlayfs mounts by unprivileged containers (i.e.
in user and mount namespace). It's super-useful for containers.
The patch is trivial as I understand from the patch description it's
does not have security implications (on top of what user namespaces
already have). And it's enabled in ubuntu long time ago. Here is a proof:

This provides support for Ubuntu Fan Networking [1].
This includes:
* The fanctl package, and a corresponding NixOS service.
* iproute patches.
* kernel patches.
