The changes to automatically test for working stack protector compiler
support in the Kconfig files removed the special STACKPROTECTOR_AUTO
option that picked the strongest stack protector that the compiler
supported.
That was all a nice cleanup - it makes no sense to have the AUTO case
now that the Kconfig phase can just determine the compiler support
directly.
HOWEVER.
It also meant that doing "make oldconfig" would now _disable_ the strong
stackprotector if you had AUTO enabled, because in a legacy config file,
the sane stack protector configuration would look like
CONFIG_HAVE_CC_STACKPROTECTOR=y
# CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_NONE is not set
# CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_REGULAR is not set
# CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG is not set
CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_AUTO=y
and when you ran this through "make oldconfig" with the Kbuild changes,
it would ask you about the regular CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR (that had
been renamed from CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_REGULAR to just
CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR), but it would think that the STRONG version
used to be disabled (because it was really enabled by AUTO), and would
disable it in the new config, resulting in:
CONFIG_HAVE_CC_STACKPROTECTOR=y
CONFIG_CC_HAS_STACKPROTECTOR_NONE=y
CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR=y
# CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG is not set
CONFIG_CC_HAS_SANE_STACKPROTECTOR=y
That's dangerously subtle - people could suddenly find themselves with
the weaker stack protector setup without even realizing.
The solution here is to just rename not just the old RECULAR stack
protector option, but also the strong one. This does that by just
removing the CC_ prefix entirely for the user choices, because it really
is not about the compiler support (the compiler support now instead
automatially impacts _visibility_ of the options to users).
This results in "make oldconfig" actually asking the user for their
choice, so that we don't have any silent subtle security model changes.
The end result would generally look like this:
CONFIG_HAVE_CC_STACKPROTECTOR=y
CONFIG_CC_HAS_STACKPROTECTOR_NONE=y
CONFIG_STACKPROTECTOR=y
CONFIG_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG=y
CONFIG_CC_HAS_SANE_STACKPROTECTOR=y
where the "CC_" versions really are about internal compiler
infrastructure, not the user selections.

The aio interface adds substantial attack surface for a feature that's
not being exposed by Android at all. It's unlikely that anyone is using
the kernel feature directly either. This feature is rarely used even on
servers. The glibc POSIX aio calls really use thread pools. The lack
of widespread usage also means this is relatively poorly audited/tested.
The kernel's aio rarely provides performance benefits over using a
thread pool and is quite incomplete in terms of system call coverage
along with having edge cases where blocking can occur. Part of the
performance issue is the fact that it only supports direct io, not
buffered io. The existing API is considered fundamentally flawed and
it's unlikely it will be expanded, but rather replaced:

Since ext4 encryption means no direct io support, kernel aio isn't even
going to work properly on Android devices using file-based encryption.

CONFIG_MD is in recommended, but other dependent options like DM_CRYPT and
DM_VERITY options are in base. The result is the options in base don't
get enabled when applying both base and recommended fragments. Move all
the options to recommended.

Copy the config fragments from the AOSP common kernel android-4.4
branch. It is becoming possible to run mainline kernels with Android,
but the kernel defconfigs don't work as-is and debugging missing config
options is a pain. Adding the config fragments into the kernel tree,
makes configuring a mainline kernel as simple as:
make ARCH=arm multi_v7_defconfig android-base.config android-recommended.config
The following non-upstream config options were removed:
CONFIG_NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_QTAGUID
CONFIG_NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_QUOTA2
CONFIG_NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_QUOTA2_LOG
CONFIG_PPPOLAC
CONFIG_PPPOPNS
CONFIG_SECURITY_PERF_EVENTS_RESTRICT
CONFIG_USB_CONFIGFS_F_MTP
CONFIG_USB_CONFIGFS_F_PTP
CONFIG_USB_CONFIGFS_F_ACC
CONFIG_USB_CONFIGFS_F_AUDIO_SRC

CONFIG_INPUT_KEYCHORD
