  • Rationale:
    Reduces attack surface on kernel devs opening the links for MITM
    as HTTPS traffic is much harder to manipulate.

    Deterministic algorithm:
    For each file:
    For each line:
    If doesn't contain `\bxmlns\b`:
    For each link, `\bhttp://[^# \t\r\n]*(?:\w|/)`:
    If both the HTTP and HTTPS versions
    return 200 OK and serve the same content:
    Replace HTTP with HTTPS.

  • commit 6807c84652b0 ("x86: Enable KASLR by default") enables KASLR
    by default on x86. While KASLR will confuse gdb which resolve kernel
    symbol address from symbol table of vmlinux. We should turn off KASLR for
    kernel debugging.
