Linux kernel 4.14.81 compiled

Here we go again... another kernel compile. This time, I found that there are some extra configuration options required to support 'iwd', the new alternative to wpa_supplicant.

I posted about iwd earlier today:

The 4.14.79 kernel was compiled on November 9:

This time around, here are the changes;

Cryptographic API
  <*> User-space interface for hash algorithms                  CONFIG_CRYPTO_USER_API_HASH
  <*> Userspace cryptographic algorithm configuration           CONFIG_CRYPTO_USER
  <*> User-space interface for symmetric key cipher algorithms  CONFIG_CRYPTO_USER_API_SKCIPHER

these were modules, changed to builtin:
  {*} CMAC support                         CONFIG_CRYPTO_CMAC
  {*} MD4 digest algorithm                 CONFIG_CRYPTO_MD4
  {*} ARC4 cipher algorithm                CONFIG_CRYPTO_ARC4
  {*} DES cipher algorithm                 CONFIG_CRYPTO_DES
  <*> SHA385 and SHA512 digest algorithm   CONFIG_CRYPTO_SHA512

Security options
  [*] Diffie-Hellman operations on retained keys  CONFIG_KEY_DH_OPERATIONS

The kernel source, with patches and build scripts is here:

Should be setup for testing iwd tomorrow.
