Tycho Andersen 42b6b44fa9 projects: split kernel-config build into three phases
...and add straw man implementations of kernel_config.base and
kernel_config.x86 as examples.

First, splitting the build: to avoid duplication, we split the build into
three parts: a "source" stage, a "config" stage, and a "build" stage. The
"source" stage allows us to use a cached image, so we don't have to
re-download the kernel source every time. The "config" step applies our
patches and generates (and checks) the kernel config. I've left this as a
separate step for now so that we can build just an image with a config in
it, without having to ^C the build. However there's no real reason it needs
to be a separate step, assuming that this kernel config design is
acceptable. The third step is the actual kernel build.

Then there is kernel config management: the bulk of it occurs in
makeconfig.sh, with the idea being that we can specify base, arch, and
version specific config options as necessary.

The config files themselves are lists of options (both positive and
negative). We include the negative options, because we want to explicitly
turn off things that are on in the default config (e.g. CONFIG_USELIB), and
it seems cleaner to do things this way then to have some sort of negative
options list.

The options files are sorted with the default behavior of the "sort"
command, which ignores comment lines, meaning that negative options and
positive options are inline with each other. I don't have a strong opinion
on whether or not to group all negative options, or whether this default
behavior makes sense, so I just left it.

Finally, obviously the .base and .x86 files are incomplete. I mostly
selected a few options with interesting dependencies or special issues
(CONFIG_PANIC_ON_OOPS) with how we manage things, so as to demo how
everything would work. It's not really clear to me that there's a good way
to generate e.g. kernel_config.base, without a lot of painstaking work
(which I'm happy to do if we agree this is a good approach).

Projects

We aim to provide a set of open spaces for collaboration to help move projects towards production. Projects should usually at a minimum provide a README of how to get started using the project with Moby, and a roadmap document explaining what the aims are and how to contribute. Most projects will probably provide a way to run the project in a custom Moby build in its current state, which ideally will be integrated in the Moby CI so there are checks that it builds and runs. Over time we hope that many projects will graduate into the recommended production defaults, but other projects may remain as ongoing projects, such as kernel hardening.

If you want to create a project, please submit a pull request to create a new directory here.
