- Various config symbols were removed, renamed or split
- HOTPLUG_PCI_SHPC is now boolean, so set it to built-in
- The stack protector config symbols were changed to two booleans
with different names
I've found Fedora28 tries to improve battery life on laptop.
See https://docs.fedoraproject.org/f28/release-notes/sysadmin/Kernel.html#sect-kernel-battery
There are three points.
1. A new SATA link-powermanagement-policy has been written which mirrors
Windows defaults: med_power_with_dipm, this has been merged for kernel
4.15, as part of this change this new policy will be the default on all
Intel mobile chipsets. This saves aprox. 1.0 - 1.5 Watts of power on an
idle laptop.
2. Enable Intel HDA codec power-saving by default with a 1 second timeout.
This saves aprox. 0.4 Watts of power on an idle laptop.
3. Enable USB autosuspend for USB bluetooth receivers by default. If all
other USB devices on the laptop also have USB auto-suspend enabled
(which typically is true) this saves aprox. 0.4 Watts of power on an idle
laptop.
- Various ancient SCSI drivers were removed
- BT_HCIBTUART and INFINIBAND_CXGB3_DEBUG were removed
- OMAP_DM_TIMER is now an automatic symbol
- Marvell NAND driver was rewritten, so we enable MTD_NAND_MARVELL
instead of MTD_NAND_PXA3xx
- Various netfilter symbols are now boolean instead of tristate
- Drop patches already in 4.16
- Overwrite changes on master to debian/installer, which were also
applied on sid and then changed
- [x86] Fix up dell_smbios configuration; now it's a single driver
selected by DELL_SMBIOS, with DELL_SMBIOS_{SMM,WMI} being boolean
options
- Clean up configuration with kconfigeditor2
This reverts commit 16d7f29d46. There
seem to be a lot of important fixes going into 4.15 for blk-mq, most
of which aren't tagged for stable, making it look a bit risky as a
default for 4.14. I'll probably re-enable this for 4.15-rc.
Now that blk-mq has a similar default scheduler as the old block
layer, it should be safe to switch over.
Note how to revert this at run-time if necessary.
Upstream bumped the default value from 8 to 16 for 4.10 in commit
90866b3a8011 ("[media] Raise adapter number limit")
. Automatically follow the upstream default value by dropping the explicit
value of 8.
FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE is enabled in almost all configurations. So make
this the top level default, and disable it in the few exceptional
configurations (armel/marvell, mips*/octeon, s390x).
- [alpha] fbdev: Re-enable FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE as built-in
- [armel] fbdev: Explicitly disable FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE, as it can no longer
be a module
- [arm64] Re-enable MMC_QCOM_DML
- Change RC_CORE back to being a module
- power/supply: Enable BATTERY_BQ27XXX and BATTERY_BQ27XXX_HDQ as modules,
replacing W1_SLAVE_BQ27000
Clean up with kconfigeditor2 and delete obsolete symbols.
As advised by Andrea Arcangeli - since commit 444eb2a449ef "mm: thp:
set THP defrag by default to madvise and add a stall-free defrag
option" this will generally be best for performance.

The config option LOCKUP_DETECTOR was split upstream in
05a4a9527931 ("kernel/watchdog: split up config options")
The old setting LOCKUP_DETECTOR=y is equivalent to enabling the soft and
hard detector now.
We didn't enable INTEGRITY_SIGNATURE and INTEGRITY_ASYMMETRIC_KEYS,
which are dependencies for these. According to bug #865277, we
should not enable them.
