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

-    ******************************
 
-    This device is based on a 64 bit Mediatek MT7622 ARM platform,
-    and is "work in progress" in Liminix.
+    == Belkin RT-3200 / Linksys E8450
 
-    .. note:: The factory flash image contains ECC errors that make it
-              incompatible with Liminix: you need to use the `OpenWrt
-              UBI Installer <https://github.com/dangowrt/owrt-ubi-installer>`_ to
-              rewrite the partition layout before you can flash
-              Liminix onto it (or even use it with
-              :ref:`system-outputs-tftpboot`, if you want the wireless
-              to work).
+    This device is based on a 64 bit Mediatek MT7622 ARM platform, and has
+    been powering my (Daniel's) home network since February 2025.

+    === 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 (you need a :ref:`serial <serial>` conection and
-    TFTP) following the instructions at :ref:`system-outputs-ubimage`
+    ==== Preparation
 
-'';
+    To prepare the device for Liminix you first need to use the
+    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.
+
+    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
+
+    [source,console]
+    ----
+    MT7622> setenv ipaddr 10.0.0.6
+    MT7622> setenv serverip 10.0.0.1
+    MT7622> tftpboot 0x42000000  openwrt-mediatek-mt7622-linksys_e8450-ubi-initramfs-recovery-installer.itb
+    MT7622> bootm 0x42000000
+    ----
+
+    This will write the new flash layout and then boot into a "recovery"
+    OpenWrt installation.
+
+    ==== Building/installing Liminix
+
+    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.

+    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.

+    == OpenWrt One
+
+    === 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:
