update dropbear patch for 26.05

CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE enables KASLR. It doesn't increase the size of the
kernel image for OpenWrt One (technically it increases .text size by 256
bytes, but that was cancelled out by alignment padding). Set this to y on
arm64. The other architectures are not modified (arm doesn't support it,
and mips only supports it for some targets).

CONFIG_ARM64_PTR_AUTH is enabled by default by the kernel and enables
pointer authentication instructions at entry and exit of most kernel
functions. However, none of our targets support pointer authentication,
so these instructions are just taking up space for no purpose. Set this
one to n, which reduces OpenWrt One kernel image size by 24KB.

-# Liminix community spaces Code of Conduct
-
-As of Feb 2023, "RESPONSE TEAM" and "LEADERSHIP TEAM" in the text that follows
-both refer to me, Daniel Barlow, as there are not yet any other project members.
-
-Liminix is dedicated to providing a harassment-free experience for everyone. We do not tolerate harassment of participants in any form.
-
-This code of conduct applies to all Liminix spaces, including the IRC channel, mailing lists, and Github forums, both online and off. Anyone who violates this code of conduct may be sanctioned or expelled from these spaces at the discretion of the RESPONSE TEAM.
-
-Some Liminix spaces may have additional rules in place, which will be made clearly available to participants. Participants are responsible for knowing and abiding by these rules.
-
-Harassment includes:
-
-*Offensive comments related to gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, mental illness, neuro(a)typicality, physical appearance, body size, age, race, or religion.
-*Unwelcome comments regarding a person’s lifestyle choices and practices, including those related to food, health, parenting, drugs, and employment.
-*Deliberate misgendering or use of ‘dead’ or rejected names.
-*Gratuitous or off-topic sexual images or behaviour in spaces where they’re not appropriate.
-*Physical contact and simulated physical contact (eg, textual descriptions like “*hug*” or “*backrub*”) without consent or after a request to stop.
-*Threats of violence.
-*Incitement of violence towards any individual, including encouraging a person to commit suicide or to engage in self-harm.
-*Deliberate intimidation.
-*Stalking or following.
-*Harassing photography or recording, including logging online activity for harassment purposes.
-*Sustained disruption of discussion.
-*Unwelcome sexual attention.
-*Pattern of inappropriate social contact, such as requesting/assuming inappropriate levels of intimacy with others
-*Continued one-on-one communication after requests to cease.
-*Deliberate “outing” of any aspect of a person’s identity without their consent except as necessary to protect vulnerable people from intentional abuse.
-*Publication of non-harassing private communication.
-Liminix prioritizes marginalized people’s safety over privileged people’s comfort. RESPONSE TEAM reserves the right not to act on complaints regarding:
-*‘Reverse’ -isms, including ‘reverse racism,’ ‘reverse sexism,’ and ‘cisphobia’
-*Reasonable communication of boundaries, such as “leave me alone,” “go away,” or “I’m not discussing this with you.”
-*Communicating in a ‘tone’ you don’t find congenial
-*Criticizing racist, sexist, cissexist, or otherwise oppressive behavior or assumptions
-
-## Reporting
-
-If you are being harassed by a member of Liminix, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please contact the RESPONSE TEAM at [email address or other contact point]. If the person who is harassing you is on the team, they will recuse themselves from handling your incident. We will respond as promptly as we can.
-
-This code of conduct applies to Liminix spaces, but if you are being harassed by a member of Liminix outside our spaces, we still want to know about it. We will take all good-faith reports of harassment by Liminix members, especially LEADERSHIP TEAM, seriously. This includes harassment outside our spaces and harassment that took place at any point in time. The abuse team reserves the right to exclude people from Liminix based on their past behavior, including behavior outside Liminix spaces and behavior towards people who are not in Liminix.
-
-In order to protect volunteers from abuse and burnout, we reserve the right to reject any report we believe to have been made in bad faith. Reports intended to silence legitimate criticism may be deleted without response.
-
-We will respect confidentiality requests for the purpose of protecting victims of abuse. At our discretion, we may publicly name a person about whom we’ve received harassment complaints, or privately warn third parties about them, if we believe that doing so will increase the safety of Liminix members or the general public. We will not name harassment victims without their affirmative consent.
-
-### Consequences
-
-Participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately.
-
-If a participant engages in harassing behavior, RESPONSE TEAM may take any action they deem appropriate, up to and including expulsion from all Liminix spaces and identification of the participant as a harasser to other Liminix members or the general public.

 ## Current status (does it work yet?)
 
-Liminix is pre-1.0. We are still finding new and better ways to do things,
-and there is no attempt to maintain backward compatibility with the old
-ways.
+Liminix 1.0 was released in April 2025. It works for me and I would
+say it has seen lots of use in the particular applications of "home
+wifi router" and "wireless extender".
+
+It's not “finished” - we are still finding new and better ways to do
+things - but we endeavour to signal future breaking changes through the
+version number. This is “semver-adjacent”, in that minor bumps
+(1.1, 1.2 …) are used for minor new features and major bumps (2.0 …)
+for changes that are likely to break out-of-tree modules or
+configurations. It won’t be semver exactly because [every change
+breaks someone’s workflow](https://xkcd.com/1172/), but we aspire to
+have the magnitude of the version delta correlate with the scale of
+the consequences of upgrading.
 
 The [NEWS](NEWS) file (available wherever you found this README) is
 a high-level overview of breaking changes.
 
 Development mostly happens on the `main` branch, which is therefore
 not guaranteed to build or to work on every commit. For the latest
-functioning version, see [the CI system](https://build.liminix.org/jobset/liminix/build) and pick a revision with all jobs green.

+    === Installation
 
-    Installation
-    ============
+    Liminix on this device uses the UBI volume management system to perform
+    wear leveling on the flash. This is not set up from the factory, so a
+    one-time step is needed to prepare it before Liminix can be installed.
 
-    Installation is currently a manual process.
-
-    Preparation
-    -----------
+    ==== Preparation
 
     To prepare the device for Liminix you first need to use the
-    `OpenWrt UBI Installer
-    <https://github.com/dangowrt/owrt-ubi-installer>`_ image to
-    rewrite the flash layout. You can do this in onw of two ways:
-    either follow the instructions to do it through the vendor web
-    interface, or you can drop to U-boot and use TFTP
+    https://github.com/dangowrt/owrt-ubi-installer[OpenWrt UBI Installer]
+    image to rewrite the flash layout. As of Jan 2025 there are two versions
+    of the installer available: the release version 1.0.2 and the
+    pre-release 1.1.3 and for Liminix you nee the pre-release. The release
+    version of the installer creates UBI volumes according to an older
+    layout that is not compatible with the Linux 6.6.67 kernel used in
+    Liminix.
 
-    .. code-block:: console
+    You can run the installer in one of two ways: either follow the
+    instructions to do it through the vendor web interface, or you can drop
+    to U-Boot and use TFTP

-     This will write the new flash layout and then boot into a
-     "recovery" OpenWrt installation. Once it's finished booting into
-     Linux you can safely reboot
+    This will write the new flash layout and then boot into a "recovery"
+    OpenWrt installation.
 
-     Installing Liminix
-     ------------------
+    ==== Building/installing Liminix
 
-     This is a manual process: you need a :ref:`serial <serial>` conection and TFTP : follow the instructions at :ref:`system-outputs-ubimage`
+    The default target for this device is `+outputs.ubimage+` which makes a
+    ubifs image suitable for use with `+ubiupdatevol+`. To write this to the
+    device we use the OpenWrt recovery system installed in the previous
+    step. In this configuration the device assigns itself the IP address
+    192.168.1.1/24 on its LAN ports and expects the connected computer to
+    have 192.168.1.254
 
-'';
+    [WARNING]
+    ====
+    The [.title-ref]#ubi0_7# device in these instructions is correct as of
+    Dec 2024 (dangowrt/owrt-ubi-installer commit d79e7928). If you are
+    installing some time later, it is important to check the output from
+    `+ubinfo -a+` and make sure you are updating the "liminix" volume and
+    not some other one which had been introduced since I wrote this.

+    ----
+
+    To make the new system bootable we also need to change some U-Boot
+    variables. `+boot_production+` needs to mount the filesystem and boot
+    the FIT image found there, and `+bootcmd+` needs to be told not to boot
+    the rescue image if there are records in pstore, because that interferes
+    with `+config.log.persistent+`

+    root@OpenWrt:~# fw_setenv bootcmd 'run boot_ubi'
+    ----
+
+    For subsequent Liminix reinstalls, just run the `+ubiupdatevol+` command
+    again. You don't need to repeat the "Preparation" step and in fact
+    should seek to avoid it if possible, as it will reset the erase counters
+    used for write levelling. Using UBI-aware tools is therefore preferred
+    over any kind of "factory" wipe which will reset them.

     The GL-AR750 "Creta" travel router features:
 
-     - QCA9531 @650Mhz SoC
-     - dual band wireless: IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac
-     - two 10/100Mbps LAN ports and one WAN
-     - 128MB DDR2 RAM
-     - 16MB NOR Flash
-     - supported in OpenWrt by the "ath79" SoC family

-    The GL-AR750 has two distinct sets of wifi hardware. The 2.4GHz
-    radio is part of the QCA9531 SoC, i.e. it's on the same silicon as
-    the CPU, the Ethernet, the USB etc. The device is connected to the
-    host via `AHB <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Microcontroller_Bus_Architecture>`_ and it is
-    supported in Linux using the ath9k driver. 5GHz wifi
-    is provided by a QCA9887 PCIe (PCI embedded) WLAN chip,
-    supported by the ath10k driver.

-    Installation
-    ============
+    === Installation
 
-    As with many GL.iNet devices, the stock vendor firmware
-    is a fork of OpenWrt, meaning that the binary created by
-    :ref:`system-outputs-mtdimage` can be flashed using the
-    vendor web UI or the U-Boot emergency "unbrick" routine.

+    OpenWrt, meaning that the binary created by `+system-outputs-mtdimage+`
+    can be flashed using the vendor web UI or the U-Boot emergency "unbrick"
+    routine.
 
-    For flashing from an existing Liminix system (we believe that) it
-    is necessary to first boot into a :ref:`system-outputs-kexecboot`
-    system, otherwise you'll be overwriting flash partitions while
-    they're in use - and that might not end well.
+    Flashing over an existing Liminix system is not possible while that
+    system is running, otherwise you'll be overwriting flash partitions
+    while they're in use - and that might not end well. Configure the system
+    with `+levitate+` if you need to make it upgradable.

+
+    === Hardware summary
+
+    * MediaTek MT7981B (1300MHz)
+    * 256MB NAND Flash
+    * 1024MB RAM
+    * WLan hardware: Mediatek MT7976C
+
+    === Status
+
+    * Only tested over TFTP so far.
+    * WiFi (2.4G and 5G) works.
+    * 2.5G ethernet port works.
+
+    === Limitations
+
+    * adding `he_bss_color="128"` causes `Invalid argument` for hostap
+    * nvme support untested
+    * I don't think the front LEDs work yet
+
+    === Installation
+
+    TODO: add instructions on how to boot directly from TFTP to memory and
+    how to install from TFTP to flash without going through OpenWrt.
+
+    The instructions below assume you can boot and SSH into OpenWrt, for
+    example by attaching a USB serial console to the front port, selecting
+    'boot from recovery' in the U-Boot menu, and connecting to
+    root@192.168.1.1 via the 1G ethernet port.
+
+    Boot into OpenWrt and create a 'liminix' UBI partition:
+
+    [source,console]
+    ----
+    root@OpenWrt:~# ubimkvol /dev/ubi0 --name=liminix --maxavsize
+    ----
+
+    Remember the 'Volume ID' that was created for this new partition, or
+    find the one labeled 'liminix' using 'ubinfo -d 0 -n 5' etc.
+
+    Build the UBI image and write it to this new partition:
+
+
+    [source,console]
+    ----
+    $ nix-build -I liminix-config=./my-configuration.nix --arg device
+    "import ./devices/openwrt-one" -A outputs.default
+    $ cat result/rootfs | ssh root@192.168.1.1 "cat > /tmp/rootfs"
+    $ ssh root@192.168.1.1
+    root@OpenWrt:~# ubiupdatevol /dev/ubi0_X /tmp/rootfs # replace X
+    with the volume id, if needed check with `ubinfo`
+    ----
+
+    Reboot into the U-Boot prompt and boot with:
+
+    [source,console]
+    ----
+    OpenWrt One> ubifsmount ubi0:liminix && ubifsload ''${loadaddr} boot/fit && bootm ''${loadaddr}
+    ----
+
+    If this works, reboot into OpenWrt and configure U-Boot to boot ubifs by
+    default:
+
+    [source,console]
+    ----
+    root@OpenWrt:~# fw_setenv orig_boot_production $(fw_printenv -n boot_production)
+    root@OpenWrt:~# fw_setenv boot_production 'led white on ; ubifsmount ubi0:liminix && ubifsload ''${loadaddr} boot/fit && bootm ''${loadaddr}'
+    ----
+
+    === Troubleshooting
+
+    The instructions above assume you can boot and SSH into the (recovery)
+    OpenWrt installation. If you have broken your device to the point where
+    that is no longer possible, you could re-install OpenWrt, but probably
+    you could also install directly from U-Boot:

     This is a 32 bit ARMv7 MVEBU device, which is usually shipped with
-    TurrisOS, an OpenWrt-based system. Rather than reformatting the
-    builtin storage, we install Liminix on to the existing btrfs
-    filesystem so that the vendor snapshot/recovery system continues
-    to work (and provides you an easy rollback if you decide you don't
-    like Liminix after all).

-    The install process has two stages, and is intended that you
-    should not need to open the device and add a serial console
-    (although it may be handy for visibility, and in case anything
-    goes wrong). First we build a minimal installation/recovery
-    system, then we reboot into that recovery image to prepare the

-    Installation using a TFTP server and serial console
-    ===================================================
-
-    If you have a :ref:`serial` console connection and a TFTP server,
-    and would rather use them than fiddling with USB sticks, the
-    :file:`examples/recovery.nix` configuration also works
-    using the ``tftpboot`` output. So you can do
-
-    .. code-block:: console
-
-        build$ nix-build -I liminix-config=./examples/recovery.nix \
-          --arg device "import ./devices/turris-omnia" \
-          -A outputs.tftpboot
-
-    and then paste the generated :file:`result/boot.scr` into
-    U-Boot, and you will end up with the same system as you would
-    have had after booting from USB. If you don't have a serial
-    console connection you could probably even get clever with
-    elaborate use of :command:`fw_setenv`, but that is left as
-    an exercise for the reader.

+== System Administration
+
+=== Services on a running system
+
+Liminix services are built on s6-rc, which is itself layered on s6.
+Services are defined at build time in your configuration (see
+<<_services>> for information) and can't be added
+to/changed at runtime, but to monitor events or diagnose problems you
+may need to inspect them on the running system. Here are some of the
+most commonly used s6,-rc commands:
+
+.Service management quick reference
+[width="100%",cols="55%,45%",options="header",]
+|===
+|What |How
+|List all running services |`+s6-rc -a list+`
+
+|List all services that are *not* running |`+s6-rc -da list+`
+
+|List services that `+wombat+` depends on
+|`+s6-rc-db dependencies wombat+`
+
+|... transitively |`+s6-rc-db all-dependencies wombat+`
+
+|List services that depend on service `+wombat+`
+|`+s6-rc-db -d dependencies wombat+`
+
+|... transitively |`+s6-rc-db -d all-dependencies wombat+`
+
+|Stop service `+wombat+` and everything depending on it
+|`+s6-rc -d change wombat+`
+
+|Start service `+wombat+` (but not any services depending on it)
+|`+s6-rc -u change wombat+`
+
+|Start service `+wombat+` and all* services depending on it
+|`+s6-rc-up-tree wombat+`
+|===
+
+`+s6-rc-up-tree+` brings up a service and all services that depend on
+it, except for any services that depend on a "controlled" service that
+is not currently running. Controlled services are not started at boot
+time but in response to external events (e.g. plugging in a particular
+piece of hardware) so you probably don't want to be starting them by
+hand if the conditions aren't there.
+
+A service may be *up* or *down* (there are no intermediate states like
+"started" or "stopping" or "dying" or "cogitating"). Some (but not all)
+services have "readiness" notifications: the dependents of a service
+with a readiness notification won't be started until the service signals
+(by writing to a nominated file descriptor) that it's prepared to start
+work. Most services defined by Liminix also have a `+timeout-up+`
+parameter, which means that if a service has readiness notifications and
+doesn't become ready in the allotted time (defaults 20 seconds) it will
+be terminated and its state set to *down*.
+
+If the process providing a service dies, it will be restarted
+automatically. Liminix does not automatically set it to *down*.
+
+(If the process providing a service dies without ever notifying
+readiness, Liminix will restart it as many times as it has to until the
+timeout period elapses, and then stop it and mark it down.)
+
+==== Controlled services
+
+*Controlled* services are those which are started/stopped on demand by a
+*controller* (another service) instead of being started at boot time.
+For example:
+
+* `+svc.uevent-rule.build+` creates a controlled service which is active
+when a particular hardware device (identified by uevent/sysfs directory)
+is present.
+* `+svc.round-robin.build+` creates a service controller that invokes
+two or more services in turn, running the next one when the process
+providing the previous one exits. We use this for failover from one
+network connection to a backup connection, for example.
+* `+svc.health-check.build+` creates a service controller that runs a
+controlled service and periodically tests whether it is healthy by
+running an external health check command or script. If the check command
+repeatedly fails, the controlled service is restarted.
++
+The Configuration section of the manual describes controlled services in
+more detail. Some operational considerations
+* `+round-robin+` detects a service status by looking at its `+outputs+`
+directory, so it won't work unless the service creates some outputs.
+This is considered a bug and will be fixed in a future release
+* `+health-check+` works for longruns but not for oneshots, as it
+internally relies on `+s6-svc+` to restart the process
+
+==== Logs
+
+Logs for all services are collated into `+/run/log/current+`. The log
+file is rotated when it reaches a threshold size, into another file in
+the same directory whose name contains a TAI64 timestamp.
+
+Each log line is prefixed with a TAI64 timestamp and the name of the
+service, if it is a longrun. If it is a oneshot, a timestamp and the
+name of some other service. To convert the timestamp into a
+human-readable format, use `+s6-tai64nlocal+`.

+----
+
+===== Log persistence
+
+Logs written to `+/run/log/+` will not survive a reboot or crash, as it
+is an ephemeral filesystem.
+
+On supported hardware you can enable logging to
+https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/ABI/testing/pstore[pstore]
+which means the most recent log messages will be preserved on reboot.
+Set the config option `+logging.persistent.enable = true+` to log
+messages to `+/dev/pmsg0+` as well as to the regular log. This is a
+circular buffer, so when it fills up newer messages will overwrite the
+oldest messages.
+
+Logs found in pstore after a reboot will be moved at startup to
+`+/run/log/previous-boot+`
+
+=== Updating an installed system
+
+If your system has a writable root filesystem (JFFS2, btrfs etc
+-anything but squashfs), we have mechanisms for in-places updates
+analogous to `+nixos-rebuild+`, but the operation is a bit different
+because it expects to run on a build machine and then copy to the host
+device using `+ssh+`.
+
+To use this, build the `+outputs.updater+` target and then run the
+`+update.sh+` script it generates.
+
+[source,console]
+----
+nix-build -I liminix-config=./my-configuration.nix \
+   --arg device "import ./devices/mydevice" \
+   -A outputs.updater
+./result/bin/update.sh root@the-device 
+----
+
+The update script uses min-copy-closure to copy new or changed packages
+to the device, then (perhaps) reboots it. The reboot behaviour can be
+affected by flags:
+
+* [.title-ref]#--no-reboot# will cause it not to reboot at all, if you
+would rather do that yourself. Note that none of the newly-installed or
+updated services will be running until you do.
+* [.title-ref]#--fast# causes it tn not do a full reboot, but instead to
+restart only the services that have been changed. This will restart all
+of the services that have updated store paths (and anything that depends
+on them), but will not affect services that haven't changed.
+
+It doesn't delete old packages automatically: to do that run
+`+min-collect-garbage+`, which will delete any packages not in the
+current system closure. Note that Liminix does not have the NixOS
+concept of environments or generations, and there is no way back from
+this except for building the previous configuration again.
+
+==== Caveats
+
+* it needs there to be enough free space on the device for all the new
+packages in addition to all the packages already on it - which may be a
+problem if there is little flash storage or if a lot of things have
+changed (e.g. a new version of nixpkgs).
+* it may not be able to upgrade the kernel: this is device-dependent. If
+your device boots from a kernel image on a raw MTD partition or or UBI
+volume, update.sh is unable to alter the kernel partition. If your
+device boots from a kernel inside the filesystem (e.g. using
+bootloader.extlinux or bootloder.fit) then the kernel will be upgraded
+along with the userland
+
+==== Recovery/downgrades
+
+The `+update.sh+` script also creates a timestamped symlink on the
+device which points to the system configuration it installs. If you
+install a configuration that doesn't work, you can revert to any other
+installed configuration by
+
+[arabic]
+. booting to some kind of rescue or recovery system (which may be some
+vendor-provided rescue option, or your own recovery system perhaps based
+on `+examples/recovery.nix+`) and mounting your Liminix filesystem on
+/mnt
+. picking another previously-installed configuration that _link:[did]
+work, and switching back to it:
+
+[source,console]
+----
+# ls  -ld /mnt/*configuration
+lrwxrwxrwx    1        90 /mnt/20252102T182104.configuration -> nix/store/v1w0h4zw65ah4c2r0k7nyy125qrxhq78-system-configuration-aarch64-unknown-linux-musl
+lrwxrwxrwx    1        90 /mnt/20251802T181822.configuration -> nix/store/wqjl9s9xljl2wg8257292zghws9ssidk-system-configuration-aarch64-unknown-linux-musl
+# : 20251802T181822 is the working system, so reinstall it
+# /mnt/20251802T181822.configuration/bin/install /mnt
+# umount /mnt
+# reboot
+----
+
+This will install the previous configuration's activation binary into
+/bin, and copy its kernel and initramfs into /boot. Note that it depends
+on the previous system not having been garbage-collected.
+
+==== Adding packages
+
+If you simply wish to add a package without any change to services, you
+can call `+min-copy-closure+` directly to install any package in Nixpkgs
+or in the Liminix overlay
+
+[source,console]
+----
+nix-build -I liminix-config=./my-configuration.nix \
+ --arg device "import ./devices/mydevice" -A pkgs.tcpdump
+
+nix-shell -p min-copy-closure root@the-device result/
+----
+
+Note that this only copies the package and its dependencies to the
+device: it doesn't update any profile to add it to `+$PATH+`
+
+[reftext="Levitate"]
+[[levitate]]
+=== Levitate: Reinstalling on a running system
+
+Liminix is initially installed from a monolithic `+firmware.bin+` - and
+unless you're running a writable filesystem, the only way to update it
+is to build and install a whole new `+firmware.bin+`. However, you
+probably would prefer not to have to remove it from its installation
+site, unplug it from the network and stick serial cables in it all over
+again.
+
+It is not (generally) safe to install a new firmware onto the flash
+partitions that the active system is running on. To address this we have
+`+levitate+`, which a way for a running Liminix system to "soft restart"
+into a ramdisk running only a limited set of services, so that the main
+partitions can then be safely flashed.
+
+==== Configuration
+
+Levitate _needs to be configured when you create the initial system_ to
+specify which services/packages/etc to run in maintenance mode. Most
+likely you want to configure a network interface and an ssh for example
+so that you can login to reflash it.
+
+[source,nix]

+defaultProfile.packages = with pkgs; [
