Rebase to Amazon Linux upstream version based on 5.10.184. Signed-off-by: Leonard Foerster <[email protected]>
This reverts commit e2083a2. The fix was introduced upstream into the 5.10 series starting with version v5.10.180. We do not need to carry the patch downstream anymore. Signed-off-by: Leonard Foerster <[email protected]>
Rebase to Amazon Linux upstream version based on 5.15.117. Signed-off-by: Leonard Foerster <[email protected]>
This reverts commit a349613. The fix was introduced into the stable 5.15 series upstream in version v5.15.111. We do not need to carry the downstream variant anymore. Signed-off-by: Leonard Foerster <[email protected]>
Rebase to Amazon Linux upstream version based on 6.1.29. Signed-off-by: Leonard Foerster <[email protected]>
In the past we have built-in the upstream smartpqi driver for our metal platforms and inherited the module build on aws/vmware platforms from AL. AL recently introduced a newer version of that driver alongside the in-tree driver. Keep the status quo by only building the in-tree variant, effectively reducing the amount of code built and shipped. Signed-off-by: Leonard Foerster <[email protected]>
We have not used and currently, do not have requests to support edac on that style of hardware. Keep with our kernels small and at the status quo. Signed-off-by: Leonard Foerster <[email protected]>
AL has recently added a bunch of IPMI drivers to their kernels. In Bottlerocket those do not get used currently. Remove the unneeded drivers. Signed-off-by: Leonard Foerster <[email protected]>
Amazon Linux introduced a port of the BBR2 congestion control algorithm. As this is a comparably large patch set that has not made it upstream yet and is marked as alpha/preview state. Disabling it for now to keep our kernel more stable. Signed-off-by: Leonard Foerster <[email protected]>

Issue number: -
Description of changes:
Update kernels to latest AL kernels available in the repositories. With those updates we ingest upstream variants for nftables fix from #3126 , so drop the downstream backports.
Through AL we also got some additional config changes that I went ahead and reverted for us. Some of those are enabling quite substantial code changes that AL has backported (newer version of smartpqi driver and bbr2 congestion control algorithm). I do not think we want to enable those mid-series.
Testing done:
Sonobuoy quick test results. (No test for the 6.1 kernel update as 6.1 currently is only on
*-devvariants):Config diff reports quite some changes:
The full diff report can be found on Gist.

BLK_DEV_SX8- Driver has been removed upstream in v5.10.184DRM_RCAR_LVDSandDRM_RCAR_USE_LVDS- clean up of drm rcar config options in v5.10.183INFINIBAND_I40W- removed from aarch64 for consistency with x86_64SCSI_DPT_I2O- unclear why this one comes up now. The functionality is not new and it has been removed upstream, but the removal has not made it to 5.10 tree.IXGBE*andMDIO- Add the ixgbe driver to x86_64 for consistency with aarch64 - MDIO gets selected by IXGBE5.15
BLK_DEV_SX8- Driver has been removed upstream in v5.15.117DRM_RCAR_LVDSandDRM_RCAR_USE_LVDS- clean up of drm rcar config options in v5.15.116SCSI_DPT_I2O- unclear why this one comes up now. The functionality is not new and it has been removed upstream, but the removal has not made it to 5.10 tree.HP_ACCELandX86_PLATFORM_DRIVERS_HP- move HP drivers into central location, renaming options in v5.15.113X86_CPUID- enable cpuid interface for consistency between kernel series6.1
GCC12_NO_ARRAY_BOUNDS- option removed to use version agnostic optionCC_NO_ARRAY_BOUNDSin v6.1.26CRYPTO_FIPS_NAME- set to be AL specific. I am not quite sure if we want to carry this forwardPTP*andPPS*- these are needed for functionality in the newer ENA drivers and a dependency for loading newer enaSFC_SIENA- depends onPTP_1588_CLOCKand is thus now visibleRT_GROUP_SCHED- disable, as allocating real CPU bandwidth for task groups can be problematic with systemd (https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/main/README#L144-L150)DP83640_PHY- new driver for ultra-low-power Ethernet phy - not neededHAVE_*,LIVEPATCH,OBJTOOL,STACK_VALIDATION,UNWINDER_FRAME_POINTER- port livepatch capabilities to aarch64, we have these available on previous kernel series as wellX86_CPUIDandX86_MSR- enable cpuid and msr interface for consistency between kernel seriesTerms of contribution:
