Linux kernel patches and device-trees used for the MNT Reform systems

Headers of the Linux-Libre kernel.

mbpfan is a fan control daemon for Apple Macbooks. It uses input from the coretemp module and sets the fan speed using the applesmc module. It can be executed as a daemon or in the foreground with root privileges.

The tool conntrack provides a full featured interface that is intended to replace the old /proc/net/ip_conntrack interface. Using conntrack, you can view and manage the in-kernel connection tracking state table from userspace. On the other hand, conntrackd covers the specific aspects of stateful firewalls to enable highly available scenarios, and can be used as statistics collector as well.

Since 1.2.0, the conntrack-tools includes the nfct command line utility. This utility only supports the nfnetlink_cttimeout by now. In the long run, we expect that it will replace conntrack by providing a syntax similar to nftables.

ryzenadj is an utility to adjust power management settings for AMD Ryzen mobile processors. You will need to ensure it can access /dev/mem, for instance by using the "iomem=relaxed" kernel argument.

The reform2_lpc module allows for interaction with the NXP LPC11U24 Cortex-M0 MCU system controller in the Reform 2 open hardware laptop. It provides battery status information and is necessary to completely shut down the system when powering it off via userspace.

This package provides means to to read BitLocker encrypted partitions. Write functionality is also provided but check the README.

OpenFabrics Interfaces (OFI) is a framework focused on exporting fabric communication services to applications. OFI is best described as a collection of libraries and applications used to export fabric services. The key components of OFI are: application interfaces, provider libraries, kernel services, daemons, and test applications.

Libfabric is a core component of OFI. It is the library that defines and exports the user-space API of OFI, and is typically the only software that applications deal with directly. It works in conjunction with provider libraries, which are often integrated directly into libfabric.

PipeWire is a project that aims to greatly improve handling of audio and video under Linux. It aims to support the usecases currently handled by both PulseAudio and Jack and at the same time provide same level of powerful handling of Video input and output. It also introduces a security model that makes interacting with audio and video devices from containerized applications easy, with supporting Flatpak applications being the primary goal. Alongside Wayland and Flatpak we expect PipeWire to provide a core building block for the future of Linux application development.

The SBC is a digital audio encoder and decoder used to transfer data to Bluetooth audio output devices like headphones or loudspeakers.

acpid is designed to notify user-space programs of Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) events. acpid should be started during the system boot, and will run as a background process. When an ACPI event is received from the kernel, acpid will examine the list of rules specified in /etc/acpi/events and execute the rules that match the event.

Linux kernel patches and device-trees used for the MNT Reform systems

IP sets are a framework inside the Linux 2.4.x and 2.6.x kernel which can be administered by the ipset utility. Depending on the type, currently an IP set may store IP addresses, (TCP/UDP) port numbers or IP addresses with MAC addresses in a way which ensures lightning speed when matching an entry against a set.

If you want to

• store multiple IP addresses or port numbers and match against the entire collection using a single iptables rule.

• dynamically update iptables rules against IP addresses or ports without performance penalty.

• express complex IP address and ports based rulesets with a single iptables rule and benefit from the speed of IP sets.

then IP sets may be the proper tool for you.

This package provides userspace components for the InfiniBand subsystem of the Linux kernel. Specifically it contains userspace libraries for the following device nodes:

1. /dev/infiniband/uverbsX (libibverbs)

2. /dev/infiniband/rdma_cm (librdmacm)

3. /dev/infiniband/umadX (libibumad)

The following service daemons are also provided:

1. srp_daemon (for the ib_srp kernel module)

2. iwpmd (for iWARP kernel providers)

3. ibacm (for InfiniBand communication management assistant)

This package contains keytable files and keyboard utilities compatible for systems using the Linux kernel. This includes commands such as loadkeys, setfont, kbdinfo, and chvt.

Libcap2 provides a programming interface to POSIX capabilities on Linux-based operating systems.

The libnl suite is a collection of libraries providing APIs to netlink protocol based Linux kernel interfaces. Netlink is an IPC mechanism primarily between the kernel and user space processes. It was designed to be a more flexible successor to ioctl to provide mainly networking related kernel configuration and monitoring interfaces.

Dual Function Keys is a plugin for interception-tools that allows one to send arbitrary keycodes when a given key is tapped or held.

This package contains utilities for accessing the powercap Linux kernel feature through sysfs. It includes an implementation for working with Intel RAPL. It provides the commands powercap-info and powercap-set.

Udev is a daemon which dynamically creates and removes device nodes from /dev/, handles hotplug events and loads drivers at boot time.

This package provides a PAM module that hands over your login password to gpg-agent. This can be useful if you are using a GnuPG-based password manager like pass.

The GPM (general-purpose mouse) daemon is a mouse server for applications running on the Linux console. It allows users to select items and copy/paste text in the console and in xterm.

eCryptfs is a POSIX-compliant stacked cryptographic file system for Linux. Each file's cryptographic meta-data is stored inside the file itself, along with the encrypted contents. This allows individual encrypted files to be copied between hosts and still be decrypted with the proper key. eCryptfs is a native Linux file system, and has been part of the Linux kernel since version 2.6.19. This package contains the userland utilities to manage it.

This is a file system client based on the SSH File Transfer Protocol. Since most SSH servers already support this protocol it is very easy to set up: on the server side there's nothing to do; on the client side mounting the file system is as easy as logging into the server with an SSH client.
