Does that mean it=E2=80=99s up to users to add such an argument to
=E2=80=98kernel-arguments=E2=80=99?  If so, we should probably document it =
(though
that=E2=80=99s not a blocker for this series.)

Sounds good.

I haven=E2=80=99t actually tested it but the patch series LGTM!  It=E2=80=
=99s a much
welcome improvement.

Make sure to add this line in the commit log of patch #2.

Thank you!

To clarify, this refers to 4.14 and older, not just 4.14, right?

We have about 2 more years, unless we choose to package the super
long-term support (SLTS) 4.4 series that is sponsored by the Civil
Infrastructure Platform:

Unlike 'regulatory.bin' (used by CRDA), we can't have a valid unsigned
'regulatory.db' (used by subsystem cfg80211).  So, we reuse upstream's
signature for that file and rebuild it ourself to be sure it's
reproducible

* gnu/packages/linux.scm (wireless-regdb)[source]: Delete file
  'regulatory.db'.
  [arguments]: Remove 'omit-signature' phase, replace 'build' phase with
  make target 'regulatory.db', add phase 'build-regulatory.bin-unsigned'
  and add 'check' phase.  Enable tests and parallel builds.  Remove
  make-flags specific to 'build-regulatory.bin-unsigned'.
  [native-inputs]: Use new format and add 'openssl'.
  [description]: Add reference to the cfg80211 linux subsystem.

Hello Tobias, Ludo’,

Following Tobias corrections, I've extended the previous patch to correctly
enable loading of the wireless regulatory database ('regulatory.db') used by
the kernel subsystem cfg80211, for linux >4.14.  As suggested by Ludo, we now
build 'regulatory.db' ourselve to make sure it's reproducible and reuse
upstream signature.  That way the linux kernel correctly load the wireless
regulatory database at boot which allows us to use a regulatory domain
different than the "00" default by using a kernel argument such as
“cfg80211.ieee80211_regdom=FR“.

This patch doesn't change anything for kernels older than 4.15 for which the
use of CRDA is needed to load the regulatory database through the
'regulatory.bin' file.  IOW the database used by CRDA, is still unsigned and
CRDA doesn't check signatures for it.

Fixes <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/49611.

Cheers,
- Brice

Absolutely.  It's still important, just not someone-could-get-arrested 
urgent.  So I hope the bit-identical build works out.

Kind regards,

Hi!

Tobias Geerinckx-Rice <me@HIDDEN> skribis:

In that case we have a practical interest in making db loading work, as
this would allow (some) users to use a wider part of the frequency
spectrum.

Thanks for looking into this, comrades!

[Terse reply whilst travelling, but this stuff is extremely important to 
get right.]

Brice, Ludo',

Ludo's suggestion to leverage reproducibility sounds promising!

Utterly.  Like our future software freedom depends on it.

Luckily, the kernel falls back to a copy of the world regulatory domain, 
the "00" that every Guix System user has been using forever.

CRDA is obsolete and only for use with the same legacy kernels.

That's not true.  The whole point of the world regulatory domain is to 
be the subset of all other regdb entries.

Kind regards,

I did more testing and you are right, in that case 'regulatory.db' isn't
loaded because it isn't signed correctly.

We can either, bake the DB into the kernel at build time by replacing
the kernel's limited DB with the one from 'wireless-regdb' via the
option CONFIG_CFG80211_INTERNAL_REGDB=C2=B9. Or manage our own key, sign the
build database and add make the kernel load them as firmware file at
boot time, which is the usual way but would require a certain level off
work on or side.

I didn't thought of that, I could give it a try as it should be lowest
hanging fruit.

After more testing, no.  We should keep it as default, it is needed if
you want to change you region from userland, with 'iw reg set' for
example.

I don't know how zelously we want to comply to radio frenquency
regulation by being sure our wireless devices don't emit on restricted
frenquecy between the kernel being loaded and userland (crda) setting
the correct region.  If we want to be sure such spourious emssions can't
happen we need to fix the loading of 'regulatory.db' by the kernel
otherwise the current setup should be good enought for most usage.

Does that means that the loaded =E2=80=98regulatory.db=E2=80=99 is discarde=
d right away?
Or does it proceed anyway?

In the former case, looks like we=E2=80=99ll have to do some more work.

Could our =E2=80=98wireless-regdb=E2=80=99 build things from source, hopefu=
lly getting
the exact same binary as the one provided upstream, in which case it
could install the original signature as-is.  IOW, we=E2=80=99d be building =
from
source for the explicit purpose of making sure the upstream-provided
=E2=80=98regulatory.bin=E2=80=99 file can be built reproducibly from this s=
ource.

> I'm wondering if it's worth removing 'crda' from the default udev rules.

It was added in 68ac258b5291aee33dd11a6fd0f545f81935b633 long ago, and I
think it made sense back then.  :-)

Do you think it=E2=80=99s now unnecessary because the kernel can load it al=
l by
itself?  Or does that depend on kernel build options?

Thanks,
Ludo=E2=80=99.
