RELATED PACKAGES:
=================
proxmox-ve
----------
top level meta package, depends on current default kernel series meta package.
git clone git://git.proxmox.com/git/proxmox-ve.git
pve-kernel-meta
---------------
depends on latest kernel and header package within a certain kernel series,
e.g., pve-kernel-4.13 / pve-headers-4.13
git clone git://git.proxmox.com/git/pve-kernel-meta.git
pve-firmware
------------
contains the firmware for all released PVE kernels.
git clone git://git.proxmox.com/git/pve-firmware.git
FIRMWARE:
=========
We create our own firmware package, which includes the firmware for
all proxmox-ve kernels. So far this include
pve-kernel-2.6.18
pve-kernel-2.6.24
pve-kernel-2.6.32
pve-kernel-3.10.0
pve-kernel-3.19.0
We use 'find-firmware.pl' to extract lists of required firmeware
files. The script 'assemble-firmware.pl' is used to read those lists
and copy the files from various source directory into a target
directory.
We do not include firmeware for some wireless HW when there is a
separate debian package for that, for example:
zd1211-firmware
atmel-firmware
bluez-firmware
PATCHES:
--------
bridge-patch.diff: Avoid bridge problems with changing MAC
see also: http://forum.openvz.org/index.php?t=msg&th=5291
Behaviour after 2.6.27 has changed slighly - after setting mac address
of bridge device, then address won't change. So we could omit
that patch, requiring to set hwaddress in /etc/network/interfaces.
NOTES:
======
Watchdog blacklist

see Makefile (PVE_CONFIG_OPTS)

- enable INTEL_MEI_WDT=m (to allow disabling via patch)
- disable CONFIG_SND_PCM_OSS (enabled by default in Ubuntu, not needed)

Module evbug is not blacklisted on debian, so we simply disable it
to avoid key-event logs (which is a big security problem)
Testing final kernel with kvm
-----------------------------
- enable CONFIG_MODVERSIONS (needed for ABI tracking)
kvm -kernel data/boot/vmlinuz-3.19.8-1-pve -initrd initrd.img-3.19.8-1-pve -append "vga=791 video=vesafb:ywrap,mtrr" /dev/zero
- switch default UNWINDER to FRAME_POINTER
the recently introduced ORC_UNWINDER is not 100% stable yet, especially in combination with ZFS
- enable CONFIG_PAGE_TABLE_ISOLATION (Meltdown mitigation)
