Hardware support Expand section Collapse section

Hardware drivers and architecture-specific code.

On Panasonic FZ-Y1 and similar models, the EC latches RF_KILL on
shutdown and suspend when battery is at certain level, causing wireless
to boot with hard block.

Call WLSW.SHRF during attach and resume to clear the block.

Tested on Panasonic FZ-Y1 with Intel Wireless 7265.

Kernel Expand section Collapse section

Kernel stuff (other than networking, filesystems, and drivers).

GCC 12 has a strict definition of identity (all characters including
whitespace must be identical) when comparing "redefined" macros. Make
our definition exactly match the stddef.h that comes with GCC to fix
test-includes of netlink/netlink_snl.h.  (Note: later versions of GCC
are a bit more flexible and don't have this problem.)

Technical notes

Dates:

• The dates are "approximate" because git has no record of exactly when each commit was added. The "author date" and "commit date" are text fields controlled by each committer, not the actual date the commit reaches cgit.freebsd.org/src. Git accurately records the order of commits, but not their dates.

Automatic grouping:

• "Commit & revert pair" groups were automatically grouped when a commit's (full) message contained

  This reverts commit \\b([0-9a-fA-F]{40})\\b

  and the hash was found in this week's commits.
• "Commit group #" groups were automatically grouped when 3 or more consecutive commits by the same author had the same category and summary prefix.

Automatic categories:

• Commits were (mostly) automatically classified based on regex pattern-matching on the commit's modified files, summary, or the whole commit message. The goal is to have the system automatically classify 95% of the commits, with 95% accuracy; then we'll manually check the results and fix the incorrectly-classified and unclassified commits.
